113 Strive for International Equality

Li wanted to get out of the carriage, but the rain had come back. Enter the Nanjing Presidential Palace. Miss Song led Li Xiang and Song Jiaoren through the West Flower Hall and went straight to the West Garden in the south. In the middle of the garden is a water shaped like a vase called Taiping Lake.

In the early spring of Nanjing, it is cold and warm for a long time, the wind is gentle and warm, and the faint green willows wipe the slightly ripples of the lake, revealing a idly comfort. Li wanted to take a curious glance at the scene of the presidential palace. He could already see Sun Yat-sen's leisurely figure in the stone moored in the south of the lake.

"Crossing a small stone bridge on Taiping Lake, not far away is a two-story building with a Chinese structure of gray bricks and green tiles. That is Mr. Zhongshan's living room." Miss Song looked at Li Xiang curiously and looked around to take care of him and explained patiently.

Of course, Miss Song didn't know that Li Xiangxiang had visited here in time and space a hundred years later. At first, she wanted to take a look at Mr. Sun Yat-sen's bedroom and office upstairs, and was told that he had to pay another 5 yuan. Just pay it. After paying the money and going upstairs, I really saw something I had never seen before.

"Upstairs is the gentleman's bedroom and private office, downstairs is the reception room and dining room, and there is also a bodyguard room and kitchen. Mr.'s eldest son and grandson lived here some time ago. Mr. Lu Muzhen, his wife, also came to Nanjing with his daughters Sun Yu and Sun Wan to take care of Sun Yat-sen's daily life. Mrs. Lu left Nanjing with Sun Ke, and the two women temporarily entrusted me to take care of her.

When Miss Song said this, Li Xiang also found that there were two young girls sitting beside Sun Yat-sen.

Taiping Hunan is long in the north and narrow in the east and west. In order to make up for this natural deficiency, the designer ingeniously built the two buildings in the north and south in the water.

Follow the stone bridge of the winding road to the stone bridge. The tangerine is made of blue stone, exquisitely shaped, and the cabin is furnished with carved tables and chairs.

As a soldier, Li wanted to see Sun Yat-sen raise his hand to salute. Sun Yat-sen laughed and said, "Don't be so serious. You can avoid it in the presidential palace in the future!" I chose the place where I met you here, just to taste tea and chat leisurely. What are you still doing? Sit down!"

Li Xiang was originally a casual temperament and rudely sat down opposite Sun Yat-sen. Song Jiaoren and Miss Song also sat around the strangely shaped root carving table.

The two sisters of the Sun family were curious, and their eyes kept shining on the young Marshal Li.

Li Xiang looked around with tea. Whenever the breeze blows gently, the waves move with the wind and move slowly. He said leisurely, "My husband chose such an elegant place as Shibang. It really won my heart to taste tea and chat."

"Our father knows that Marshal Li is a soldier and a poet. Poetry and articles are the expression of wisdom and spirituality. From the point of view, poetry comes from character. Li Dashuai's poems are fresh and strong, and his breath is like a tiger. With the fresh and strong character of Marshal Li, would it be good to invite adults in a restaurant like entertaining old bureaucrats? The sisters of the Sun family rushed to say.

"Wet man?" Li wants to sweat.

"Actually, I just want to invite you, but I can't afford it." Sun Yat-sen laughed at himself.

Li Xiang can only laugh. This is true. The story of only ten silver dollars left in Nanjing's treasury has been known all over the world. It is said that Mr. Sun Yat-sen's daily vegetable money is less than 40 cents.

Sun Yat-sen added: "As far as I know, this stone pier is the oldest building in the presidential palace, and it is also the only building in the Xuyuan with the style of the Northern Qing Dynasty. It was built by Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, in the eleventh year of Qianlong in the former Qing Dynasty. The first study. Qianlong Hongli visited the south many times during his tour, and gave him a plaque titled "No Boat" when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. In those years, Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, often convened a military meeting. The Xiang army broke through Nanjing, and the king's mansion was burned, but the stone bune was left.

Li Xiang slowly recited the last sentence of Wei Yingwu, a Tang man: "I feel sorry for the grass on the edge of the stream. The spring tide comes late with rain, and there are phers and deep trees singing. There is no one in the wild.

"This is really one of the best sentences in Chinese culture. Chinese culture is implicit, and you have to think about everything by yourself, not as straightforward as Westerners. Sun Yat-sen said, "But what I like is the wild fun in this garden."

Li Xiang said in surprise, "I only said that my husband is strong and full of ambitions and ideals. Unexpectedly, there are such idle clouds and wild crane feelings."

Sun Yat-sen sighed deeply and said, "Alas, if it hadn't been for the country, Sun would have been a trip to Linquan!"

With a sigh from Sun Yat-sen, the topic became solemn.

Li wanted to put down the tea cup and said, "Sir, he raised his arms to awaken China's great dream of thousands of years, led the 1911 Revolution, and from then on to go to gonghe. How can he be compared with those who travel in the forest spring? The construction of a republic is inseparable from your husband. You can't have such a decadent mind.

Sun Yat-sen waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Li Shuai is overreputed. In the 1911 Revolution, if it hadn't been for Li Shuai and many other heroes who were connected with our generation, how could the 1911 Revolution create such a great momentum to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop?"

"That's what the gentleman said." Li thought was not polite to accept the praise and couldn't help sighing, "Alas, it would be great if he could make a vigorous expedition to the north and smooth the northern ocean in one fell swoop!"

Sun Yat-sen said in a low voice, "This is exactly why I invited Li Shuai to come here today."

Li Xiang couldn't help but be surprised again and said, "Oh?"

At this time, the peace had been reached, and the people began to be tired of war. Yuan Shikai's evil deeds were not obvious, and he forcibly set off a second revolution, which could not succeed. What exactly do Sun Yat-sen think?

Sun Yat-sen took a look at Song Jiaoren.

Song Jiaoren was sober. He stood up and made tea for Li. Then he sat down again and said, "We have always thought that if we want to limit Yuan Shikai's dictatorship, strengthen the supervision of Yuan Shikai, and defend the achievements of the republic, the alliance will need to reunite and expand to become one of the largest political parties in the Republic of China."

Seeing that Li wanted to listen attentively, he continued: "The Provisional Senate elected Yuan Shikai as the interim president of the Republic of China. After that, the situation of organizing the party across the country is rising day by day, and it will be more and more unfavorable to the alliance, showing a very lax state. On the one hand, the constitutionalists and old bureaucrats took advantage of the opportunity to form a party to step up the unity of the "non-allied party to destroy the allied party". On the other hand, the phenomenon of forming its own party and doing its own way within the League is also becoming more and more serious, which greatly affects the strength of the League. In addition, Yuan Shikai has won the status of interim president, and the alliance will become an opposition party. The drastic changes in the situation have forced us to consider how to consolidate ourselves, strengthen the supervision of Yuan Shikai, and defend the republican achievements that have been achieved. The Alliance must also take measures. The Alliance should ensure that Yuan Shikai's actions do not escape from the constitutional track. The most effective way is to reorganize the Alliance Association as the largest political party in the Republic of China and implement the party cabinet..."

Li thought, "Restruct the Alliance?"

Li Xiang's eyes are aimed at Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen did not agree with the immediate reorganization before. At the beginning, the high-level meeting of the alliance meeting was held in Shanghai, and Li Xiang was also present. According to Sun Yat-sen himself, the first reason was that "at the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China, all my comrades rushed to state affairs and had no time to take care of party affairs"; the second reason was to avoid "one-party dictatorship". He said: "When the Nanjing Provisional Government was established, China did not care about political parties and the success of the party revolution. If the scale is expanded in time and the political party is reorganized, it will be popular all over the country. Fans and others repeatedly persuade, but I am not a little moved. I know the progress of the government. In the competition between the two parties, the autocracy of one party, and the autocracy of the monarch, the disadvantages are equal. " If you have the power to govern, and immediately organize a league meeting, isn't it a national league meeting, and it's like an autocratic?

Li Xiang was really deeply admired by this great sentiment at that time!

Sun Yat-sen nodded slowly when he saw Li Xiang's doubtful eyes.

Song Jiaoren continued, "Yes! The armed revolution has come to an end. It should be changed to an open party, engage in the movement of the Constitution Congress, and stand in the position of supervising the government on behalf of the people. It is not appropriate to take the nature of secrecy..."

"Choose the sound elements in the alliance, gather them into political parties, change their names, and separate from the alliance?" Li wanted to blurt out that the word "Kuomintang" came to his mind, and Song Jiaoren had revealed this intention to him before.

"The name will not be changed," Sun Yat-sen laughed and said, "The golden signboard of the Alliance Association cannot be changed."

Li wanted to see Song Jiaoren and said, "The alliance will change from secret to public. The general chapter of the alliance before the alliance meeting has naturally changed?"

Song Jiaoren nodded and continued: "The restructured alliance will aim to consolidate the Republic of China and implement people's livelihoodism, including: complete administrative unification and promotion of local autonomy; racial assimilation; adoption of national social policy; popularization of compulsory education; advocating equality between men and women; implementing the recruitment system; and sorting out finances. , determine the tax system; strive for international equality; pay attention to 9 items such as immigration and reclamation..."

From the first article, this shows that although the League recognizes Yuan Shikai's dominance, it still attempts to preserve and develop revolutionary forces through "local autonomy" to prevent Yuan's autocratic dictatorship and endanger the Republic of China. As for the political advancement and positive significance of advocating "equal rights for men and women" and "seeking international equality" is more obvious. The former reflects the desire of the broad masses of women to participate in politics, and the latter reflects the revolutionary spirit of the Chinese nation against the imperialist oppression. The latter, in particular, was unique among the political parties at that time.

Li Xiang nodded and asked, "Why is there no "average land rights" and "land state ownership"? I think this is the slogan with the most calling power among the masses.

Although the "average land right" is not written on the political platform, it does not mean to abandon this claim. Because the purpose of implementing people's livelihood is clearly stipulated in the new general chapter of the League. What is people's livelihood? That is, the average land rights and land state ownership. Sun Yat-sen answered in person, "If the average land right can be achieved, then the social revolution has become seven or eight points!"

Li Xiang couldn't help nodding and agreeing.

Song Jiaoren said: "If the alliance holds power, the political opinions will be feasible, the livelihood of civilians will be more and more equal, and the social inequality will be avoided. It is the era when the alliance will reorganize the political party, and it is also the relationship with the people.

Sun Yat-sen sighed: "Some people are indifferent to the implementation of people's livelihoodism, believing that the racial revolution and the political revolution are very easy, but only social revolution is the most difficult, and it can only be implemented with the highest level of people's culture."

Li wanted to think of his era a hundred years later, and couldn't help sighing, "Well, this is not the mission that our generation can accomplish."

Li Xiang said again, "I just said 'to seek international equality', and I found a great opportunity."

"What opportunity?" Sun Yat-sen asked.

"The Surat incident!" Li wanted to be decisive.

Song Jiaoren said, "Li Shuai wants to take the opportunity of the Surplus case to negotiate. It is my minimum goal for the Chinese people to enjoy all the most-favoured-nation treatment in Nanyang, and the ultimate goal is to reform the unequal treaties imposed on us by the great powers."

Sun Yat-sen stood up excitedly and said, "Okay! This is actually a method of imitating the West, and it is reasonable to protect overseas Chinese. If Li Shuai needs anything at that time, just open your mouth. Sun is not talented and is willing to help.

Li wanted to touch the beard on his chin and smiled, "Just assign the three cruisers of the Admiralty to me..."

Before Li Xiang finished speaking, Sun Yat-sen shook his hand repeatedly and said, "It's not that I don't help you. There's really nothing I can do." I am not as influential as you in the navy. Captain Du Xihui of Hairong has driven his car to Yuan Shikai. Captain Huang Zhongying is in poor health. He suffers from liver disease and often coughs up blood. He thinks that I have resigned several times, but I can't command him. Didn't Captain Tang Hualong of Haichen have a special relationship with you? Is he still preparing to help you build a naval school in Shanghai?

Li Xiang leaned forward and said to Sun Yat-sen very earnestly, "Sir, please kick Huang Zhongying away. I'll find someone to replace the captain of the Hai Tso. Isn't the Hai Tso at your command?"

"The sailors on the sea chip will not listen to your command."

"Then change it all!"

Sun Yat-sen's eyes lit up by his few words and agreed, "Okay, for the purpose of practicing the covenant, I will be this villain!" He thought for a moment and said, "The Haiqi of the Qing Dynasty navy's visit to the eight countries has ended the negotiations on the Mexican anti-Chinese exclusion incident. The Mexican government officially apologized for the anti-Chinese incident, paid for the loss of life and property of the injured expatriates, and arrested the mob." The "Haiqi" is on its way back to China. Captain Cheng Biguang and I are from the same hometown and have a lot of friendship with each other. I think he will be willing to take advantage of the victory to pursue and turn to Suraya to protect overseas Chinese.

Li Xiang clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Then let's start the specific plan now!"
