111 Protect Overseas Chinese

The sky is cloudless, and the bright sun shines on the broken water waves of the war wheel, emitting a dazzling light of white flowers.

Li wanted to hide in the cabin and nibbled at a book of "Warring States Policy". On the table, there were masterpieces such as "The Records of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" and "Ghost Valley". This time, he is going to handle the Suramaya negotiation case in person, so he is making up for it.

"Warring States Policy" and "Ghost Valley" are both famous works of the pre-Qin Zongheng family, but "Ghost Valley" is mostly essential philosophical discourse and abstract theoretical principles, which are obscure and difficult. The "Warring States Policy" compiled in the Han Dynasty and the historical novel "Records of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" compiled by the Ming Dynasty are all composed of distinct characters and vivid events. The countless cases are a huge treasure house of eloquence and strategic cases for the application, proof and practice of Guiguzi. Western case teaching methods such as MBA have only become popular in recent years. In fact, the ancients in China have long prepared a case database for us to improve our strategy and eloquence.

The political ideas, struggle strategies and world strategies put forward by the advisers and counselors in the Warring States period when lobbying the monarchs of various countries or arguing with each other were the true record and vivid portrayal of the heroes and talents at that time planning various career strategic strategies and lobbying politicians to refute their opponents. Among them, many lobbying speeches, speeches and righteousness can be called masterpieces, and have become famous articles recited through the ages. Through words, people can understand the thinking and psychological activities of the strategists, and feel the full experience, great talent and excellent eloquence that they are beyond the reach of today.

Calculation planning and tongue debate are essentially another battlefield of swords and shadows. In fact, all the soldiers have already decided the victory or defeat in the mind and debate.

Italian historian Crozi said, "All history is contemporary history." Human history cannot be repeated, but how similar human activities are. As long as there are people and human society, it will be full of strategies all the time. The crystallization of skills and thinking refined by the popular figures thousands of years ago is still so fresh and urgent to use. The Warring States Policy and the Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which are set in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, are of great inspirational significance to Li Xiang, who is in urgent need of successful negotiations in Surawaya.

"Marshal, what strange novel are you reading again?"

Li wanted to look back, and the housekeeper stood behind him with a smile. Lixiang used to carry a book of Water Margin or Journey to the West with him, pretending to be a Confucian general, so the housekeeper's little sister asked such a question.

This time, Li wants to leave Tang Yuewan and Shuixian in Wuchang to help him take care of the house, with his housekeeper sister.

"It's not a strange novel. I'm studying the thoughts of the pre-Qin Zongheng family." Li wanted to roll his eyes at her and showed the bookcase of the Warring States Policy.

"When did the general become so diligent?" The housekeeper's little sister shook the shopkeeper's confused eyes and said, "I stood behind your back and looked at you for a long time. You didn't know it at all. It's really a kung fu that Zu Wei didn't hear the thunder."

"I've always been diligent, okay?" Li wanted to explain in aggravating tone.

"I have returned to Wuchang for so long that I have only a few times to work in the Red Building. Is this also called diligence?" The housekeeper's little sister replied to him with a white eye.

When he was hit by the point, Li Dashuai was suddenly speechless. There is nothing important about him. He is wandering around the three towns in Wuhan or attending various banquets. Anyway, he rarely goes to the Red Mansion.

The housekeeper's little sister made him a cup of Longjing tea, handed over her hands, and said, "The marshal is holding Buddha's feet temporarily now. It seems to be a little too late... Moreover, if you read too many of this kind of book, you will feel dark and become dark."

"The strategy itself does not matter whether it is good or evil. It is the motivation and purpose of using the strategy to show the moral and moral sublimity of the strategy. Conspiracy and tricks are used in daily life, which is the trick of despicable people, and if it is used in national affairs, it is the heroic strategy of the hero and counselor.

Strategy and power is a political science, which has nothing to do with daily morality. Strategy does not teach people to be treacherous and evil. On the contrary, it is the wisdom and means that must be used to defeat evil and aggression and ensure the realization of morality. It can make people avoid stupidity and short-sightedness and embark on the right path of science and efficiency.

It should be noted that the darkness and greed in human nature often happen around us. When dealing with those dark things and characters, we must be decisive. There is no moral benevolence and righteousness between countries. When it is time to use violence, violence should be used, and when it is time to use strategy, it should be used. Of course, there are moral constraints between people, but for those who are unjust and those who are not of our race, we must not be too soft. Li wanted to take it for granted.

The housekeeper's little sister Meadowy showed a thoughtful expression and said for a long time, "Three inches of tongue is stronger than a million soldiers; one person's debate is more important than the treasure of nine tripods." The source of this sentence is in this article at the beginning of Warring States Policy. In the Warring States Period, the heroes competed for the deer, and the law of the jungle. As the declining important minister of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, in order to cope with the national disaster, on the basis of a deep grasp of human nature and the skillful control of lobbying skills, he used his wisdom and eloquence to save the dignity and interests of a country in a few words. If you change some brainless mediocre officials, they will not only stir up the public, but also lose their dignity and interests. Everything is as Liu Xiang wrote in the book "The Policy of the Warring States": "High-talented scholar, you can do what you can do, come out of strange strategies and wisdom, special danger is safe, and fate is also gratifying and impressive."

Li Xiang usually only knows that the housekeeper's little sister is a very pure girl. After listening to these two sentences, he knew that she also had research on the Warring States Policy. Needless to say, she is a scheming little sister! He was very surprised and said quickly, "What my little sister said is the most incisive. Strategy brings peace and justice and democracy. God has given us a brain and mouth. We don't need to move our hands, feet, knives and guns. Our minds and words are enough to solve all problems, resolve all kinds of crises, and win without fighting. It is the beginning and purpose of strategy. One word can rejuvenate the country, and one word can save the country. Yan Shu completed what was difficult for millions of troops to complete with his own words, which was completely the result of wisdom and eloquence. He knew that as a weak country, he was unable to deal with rape. Only with the help of external forces and other countries could he save himself, and as long as he persuaded other countries, the crisis would be resolved.

People are always in a variety of problems. The solution to problems is not by simple, rude and reckless behavior, but by the human mind. Words are enough to solve problems and resolve crises, while violent acts such as wars and conflicts do not help to solve problems. For a person who can use strategy and tongue, his way of solving problems seems very easy, just like Zhuge Liang, who "borrows arrows from a grass boat", and the way he gets 100,000 arrows is so easy, fast and unimaginable. If you are in my situation at this time, what will you do if you want to handle the Surhakah negotiation?

"I don't know!" The housekeeper shook her head and said simply, "It's one thing to know these truths, and it's another thing to use them. The general studied slowly with the Warring States Policy and found the answer by himself. Why did he ask me a little girl?

Beijing.

Yuan Shikai sat in his private residence, wearing a nightgown, watching the servants decorate a Western-style living room. Now that he has become the president of the Republic of China, he will also decorate the living room with a new atmosphere.

A set of large Western-style leather sofas has been arranged into a long line by the people.

Yuan Shikai stood up and shouted at the people: "Western-style sofas can't be arranged like our Taishi chairs and coffee tables. They should be arranged like this." He said with a gesture.

Yuan Er, the general manager of Yuanfu, asked, "If the guests come, where will you sit, sir?"

Yuan Shikai sat on the sofa and said, "I'm sitting here."

Yuan Er could swallow a Wang Ba with his big mouth and said in shock, "Is the guest still sitting on your head?"

Yuan Shikai patted the sofa and said, "Foreigners pay attention to equality, and respect and inferiority are not so strict."

Mr. Yuan Ke Ding had already come in. Seeing that his father Yuan Shikai was very interested and did not dare to disturb him, he stood beside him with a telegram.

Yuan Shikai caught a glimpse of him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Keding held up the telegram and replied, "Madman Li sent a national telegram from Ezhou."

Yuan Shikai took the telegram and said, "Oh." The temporary contract has made Yuan Shikai very unhappy. At this time, the madman Li still came to block it.

After reading it, Yuan Shikai threw it away and roared, "Dispatch troops! Send a ship! Come and force me one by one!"

......

Nanjing. The Presidential Palace.

Miss Song twisted a towel from the copper basin and handed it to Sun Yat-sen.

Sun Yat-sen took it, wiped his face a few times, and was about to go out.

Miss Song said andly, "Look at you, your face hasn't been wiped clean, so I'm in a hurry to leave..."

After pulling Sun Yat-sen, he twisted another towel. Like a child, he wiped Sun Yat-sen's face and said, "Isn't it just a telegram? Why are you so anxious?"

Sun Yat-sen sighed, "Li Xiang's telegram is aggressive! I live overseas all year round, and I am also well aware of the hardships of overseas Chinese! The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty abdiced and the republic was completed. Our overseas Chinese compatriots held a celebration meeting one after another, which was unprecedented. However, when overseas Chinese in Kobe, Japan paraded with lanterns, they were interfered by the Japanese police, and the Dutch police in Java were particularly paradoxical. Many people were killed and injured because of the celebration. The national flag has also been torn up... Nanyang overseas Chinese, I want to ask us to send troops to protect overseas Chinese. That's what Li wants to do with the telegram.

Miss Song said, "Isn't sending ships to protect overseas Chinese? At this time, the north and the south are still quarreling about a Temporary Covenant. Do they have the ability to provoke the national war? Nanyang is not Hankou. After all, it is someone else's territory. Marshal Li is really a little crazy this time.

After Yuan Shikai was sworn in as president in Beijing, Sun Yat-sen forced the cabinet system into the Provisional Treaty.

The appointment was announced the day after Yuan Shikai was sworn in, which immediately caused an uproar and continuous debate.

The revolutionaries represented by Song Jiaoren have always advocated the implementation of a responsible cabinet system. The constitutionalists between the Revolutionary Party and the Beiyang faction also advocate the cabinet system. The United Party has written the cabinet system of completion responsibility into its own party constitution; the Republican Party and the later Progressive Party also agree with the cabinet system, believing that "the administration is the responsibility of the cabinet, and the president cannot replace it. The president issues a decree that requires the deputy state officer; the cabinet has the right to refuse the deputy signature." Because China has just changed from an imperial government to a republic, the people regard the president as a demerit, and "it is not a cabinet system to save this demerit". The United Republican Party, the Association for the Promotion of the Republic of China, the National Association, the National Communist Party, the Communist Party, the Republic and other parties and groups also advocate the cabinet system. For example, the National Association believes that today China must take the cabinet system. The reason is that "the great leader is not responsible for the Congress. Once the government is not trusted by the people, there is no reason to give up the revolution. Otherwise, the rule of law, the government is supervised by the Congress, and the Congress does not approve of the government, and it is easy to turn against the hand." The newspapers and periodicals sponsored by the revolutionaries vigorously publicize the advantages of the responsible cabinet system.

The Beiyang faction, represented by Yuan Shikai, advocates the most powerful presidential system. Yuan Shikai once said: "The interim appointment is to appoint a prime minister, and the president is irresponsible. From the perspective of the rest, the so-called irresponsible people also have the difference in size." Now the state affairs officer is the key to the administration. A country's government affairs do not rely on its planning, and the gains and losses of government affairs are the responsibility of the state affairs officer. However, if the state clerk is tame to the country, he will die, or although he will not die, and as for the incurable, can the president be irresponsible? Can the people not blame the president? Obviously, he is disgusted with the responsible cabinet system. There is no doubt that Yuan Shikai must be inclined to establish a real presidential system at this time. Although he hasn't expressed it publicly yet.

On the one hand, the Beiyang faction demonstrates that China does not have the basis and possibility of implementing a cabinet system, and on the other hand, it advocates Yuan's talent, so as to create a trend that the non-presidential system cannot save China. Some social groups that support Yuan also strongly advocate the presidential system, directly writing to the Senate to condemn the cabinet system: "From now on, it is the Republic of China, and there is still a cabinet prime minister. It will be said that there is a prime minister who can restrict the power of the president. If the president and the prime minister are one party, there is no different person. It is the power of the president and it is aggravated. It will be said that there is a cabinet prime minister, and if the president is irresponsible, he will directly regard the president as a monarch, and it will be said to overthrow the monarch and build a republic. The News of Current Affairs, controlled by the Beiyang faction, believes: "President Yuan is a person, and Gu Fu is deeply discussed, but he has a great talent strategy and does not want to be a puppet. It must be made incompetent. For example, the head of state of Britain and France is not unwilling, that is, it is a country, and there is no need to put useful talents in a leisure place. Therefore, "Today, China, like President Yuan, is indeed more suitable for the presidential system." The newspaper also argued that the cabinet system was not suitable for China at that time on the grounds that the cabinet system originated in the monarchy, which was inconsistent with the communist spirit, and easy to produce party disputes.

"Yuan Shikai should not oppose the Provisional Treaty in order to safeguard his legitimacy and form a provisional government that integrates the North and the South as soon as possible." When Sun Yat-sen thought of this, he sighed with a headache and said, "The trouble is that in Surahi, if you don't send ships to protect overseas Chinese, you have to negotiate. I can't ignore the suffering of overseas Chinese.

Miss Song said, "Then negotiate!"

Sun Yat-sen smiled bitterly and said, "The great powers do not recognize the Nanjing Provisional Government at all, and do not recognize me as the interim president. What's more, he is still a temporary president who is about to step down. What qualifications do I have to negotiate with foreigners?"

Miss Song frowned and said, "Then ask Yuan Shikai to send someone to negotiate!" Don't all foreigners admit him?"
