115 bleeding is also a deterrent

Sun Yat-sen held a cabinet meeting to decide on the negotiations with the Netherlands. The meeting hasn't started yet, and the legislators in the venue are making a lot of noise.

The most popular gossip is undoubtedly the sinking of the Titanic and the watering of the Changfeng. Li wanted to gossip, and he couldn't help talking about the love tragedy between the rich and the poor loser on the Titanic. The first half of this story is very much like the old-fashioned style of traditional Chinese talents and beauties, rich ladies and poor scholars, attracting a lot of onlookers.

After the story was told, it really touched a lot of onlookers. Finally, Li wanted to conclude like the author of the novel: "If the Titanic did not hit the iceberg in the end, what would the ending be? Will Rose stay with Jack for the rest of her life? Li wanted to think of the film review left by a bean friend and said, "It should have been a date that I forgot when I turned around, but it became a lifelong nostalgia because of a sea disaster!"

............

Sun Yat-sen stood in front of the floor mirror and asked Miss Song and her two daughters to put on Zhongshan clothes while asking, "Are you here to ask me this?"

Huang Xing and Hu Hanmin, who sat side by side on the sofa, said at the same time, "Yes!"

Sun Yat-sen hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Xiang has been pestering me for a long time. I will tell you the truth. Although I promised him verbally, I am not sure. If you send warships to protect overseas Chinese, the Netherlands is not Mexico, and you are afraid of attracting the interference of the great powers. Li wants to have a hot temper, you know, how does it end when things get into a big fight? We have played with the great powers for half a century and have never won. If you really want to go to war, how sure are you that you can win? If you don't send a warship to Surat water to protect overseas Chinese, I, the Republic of China, is not the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Looking at the Netherlands, it is a little state with its teeth and claws, bullying our overseas foreigners, and I really can't swallow it! After thinking about it, I have to hand over this difficult problem to the cabinet and you. That is to say, how to deal with the Netherlands, whether to send consular negotiations or send warships to negotiate is at the discretion of the cabinet meeting! At the cabinet meeting, you must come up with a proper method... However, I still say that I must give a satisfactory explanation to the people of Nanyang. In any case, we can't be vague!"

Huang Xing Geng was upright and confused, but wanted to implement a sentence: "Yixian doesn't want to send warships to protect overseas Chinese, but tends to send consuls to negotiate?"

Sun Yat-sen shook his head and said, "When did I say that I would not send warships to protect overseas Chinese? Didn't you say that everything will be decided by the cabinet meeting!"

Huang Xing said nothing more.

Hu Hanmin understood in his heart and suddenly said, "I know what you mean."

............

Several members of the Cabinet of the League gathered outside the door of the Provisional Senate, with a solemn face and staring at Song Jiaoren.

Song Jiaoren was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "Guys, in the face of the Dutch storm in Surai, do you want to send warships to negotiate or consular negotiations? I want to hear your opinions..."

Tian Tong muttered, "Should we know what the president is going on first?"

Song Jiaoren said, "I talked about this with Li Shuai and Mr. Zhongshan. Mr. Zhongshan wants to fight. As for President Yuan of Beijing, Wang Chonghui called Yuan Shikai again and told him about the latest development of the "Serabaya Incident" described by the representative of the Dutch nationals Meng Jiaxi, pointing out that after the Dutch overseas Chinese held a strike to resist the violence of the Dutch authorities to show resistance, the Dutch military and police plundered the people were unable to make a living. In a critical situation, "the begging ship negotiates". The proposal of the Nanjing Provisional Government to cooperate and negotiate has not received a response from the Beijing Dang Bureau..." He sneered, "I don't think he wants to negotiate with soldiers and ships."

Liu Daoren also sneered and said, "Gu Zhongxiu and Wu Jingli from the north know Yuan Shikai's thoughts best."

Qin Zhen sneered repeatedly and said, "They don't want to send 'military and ships to negotiate' up and down in Beiyang."

Peng Yun Yi said, "Yuan Shikai is a foreign devil who stands up. He just listens to Lord Yang's words. How dare he challenge Lord Yang!"

Song Jiaoren said solemnly, "He doesn't want to send 'military ship negotiation', but also forces him to send 'military ship negotiation'!" As far as I know, nine out of ten governors of all provinces in the country are mainly sending warships to Surya to protect overseas Chinese, which can really be said to be the same hatred of the enemy! In addition, Li, the marshal of the Ezhou National Revolutionary Army, wanted to take the initiative to personally lead the fleet south to Suraya to negotiate with this warship. If Yuan Shikai ignores the lives of the country and the people with his own self-interest, he will be accused by thousands of people for ten thousand years!"

Tian Tong said with approval, "You said it very well. I have thought about it. This negotiation is not a must. The expatriates in Surabaya live in deep trouble. At the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China, they can't bear to give up their responsibilities and ignore the overseas Chinese as the Qing government. If they are not saved quickly, the lives and property of the overseas Chinese will be more threatened. Sending consuls to negotiate is to fight with each other. There is no end to the quarrel. How can there be a warship to negotiate quickly?

A man named Liu Yan said, "What if it causes a war?"

The words were amazing, and everyone looked at him in astonishment.

A congressman echoed, "I'm afraid that Li Shuai will start a war in Nanyang!"

Song Jiaoren shook his head and said, "I dare not agree. Although Li Shuai is brave and fierce, he knows how to advance and retreat and analyze the world trend. Otherwise, can he achieve success today? He can own the five provinces and take back the interests of the five provinces in the hands of foreigners, just because of good luck? Do you really think of him as a madman?

Tian Tong saw that the scene was a little stiff and said to everyone, "Well, anyway, the position of the main party's 'military ship negotiation' is the same. At the cabinet meeting, we must declare the righteousness and not let the main party's 'consular negotiation' fallacy succeed! Well, it's almost time. Let's go in.

After saying that, he led the crowd into the Senate.

When Sun Yat-sen walked into the venue, the dark clouds of war seemed to be shrouded in the hall.

Several members of the alliance, as well as Song Jiaoren and other backbones of the alliance, are solemn, and some even show generosity to go to the national disaster, making the already tense atmosphere even more unusual. Compared with them, although Li Xiang was still talking and laughing before, his face was a little heavier than usual at this moment.

Sun Yat-sen said: "At present, the Surai incident" is "the first negotiation of the Republic of China. If it fails, there will be foreign aggression." Marshal Li, I want to hear your opinion first?"

Li Xiang calmed down and replied, "I thought that at present, I had to send a warship to protect overseas Chinese immediately, and I led the warship to Suratrate. On the one hand, we must actively prepare for the war, and on the other hand, we must negotiate with the Dutch consul. It's better to prepare for the war with the Netherlands!"

Sun Yat-sen asked, "If there is a fight, can you win?"

Li Xiang said confidently, "Yes!"

"Crazy!"

I don't know who sneered below.

Li Xiang's face changed: "There is a way to stand up and talk!"

Gu Zhongxiu, a representative sent by Yuan Shikai, stood up and said, "At present, there are only four cruisers that can carry out naval battles, and the rest of the ships can only be used for transportation and training. A real sea confrontation may not be a chance."

Hearing this, there was an uproar.

Song Jiaoren was also angry and asked harshly, "Why can't the four cruisers win the small Dutch countries that don't even have a cruiser? Ridiculous!"

Wu Jinglian also stood up and said, "Although the Netherlands is a small country, it is the same as Britain and the United States. In fact, it is the object of arbitrary bullying?"

Li Xiang is very angry: "China is not the object of bullying at will now! Today's China is no longer yesterday's China. Even our enemies can't turn a blind eye to this. The world has changed!"

After hearing this, some of the senators couldn't help nodding silently.

Gu Zhongxiu was angry and funny. He looked sideways at Li Xiang and said, "Mr. Li is really impassioned. I only ask Mr. Li. If you know that you can't win, will you go to Nanyang to die?"

Li Xiang said proudly, "Yes, I know that confrontation can only increase bloodshed, but I will not look back on the feelings of my country. It is difficult for ordinary people to identify this as a kind of wisdom. But I don't know that bleeding is also a deterrent! Since the Opium War, the history of the division of China between the Western powers ended with the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Chinese, who had been bullied by the powerful, stood up. When a nation stands in the east after the baptism of blood and fire, who can push her into the abyss again? Unless she is willing to humiliate and does not seek progress, any external force, whether it is a strong ship or a sharp gun, can't yield her.

Li thought about a few words and blocked them speechlessly. There was a brief silence on the synagogue.

Half a sound, Wang Zhengting said with a sinking face, "Crazy! War madman!"

Gu Zhongxiu said unconvincedly, "Sarge Li's eloquence is admired by even foreigners!" However, what Marshal Li said was false. Now, in terms of our military strength, it is not enough to fight against the great powers.

"War, the country will be subjugated and the species will be destroyed..." Several legislators shouted at the same time.

"Whether there is no war or not, we can't ignore the Chinese in Surya~!" Sun Yat-sen said, "Those who fight for thousands of miles with blood are also the responsibility of comrades in the mainland; it is also the responsibility of comrades in the mainland; it is also the responsibility of comrades overseas to raise funds to raise funds to help revolutionaries." He also said, "The success of the alliance depends on the strength of overseas Chinese, and the military pay is out..."

He paused and said, "If it is only through the messenger's telegrams, the resolution of the incident will last for a long time, and the loss of overseas Chinese will also increase. I decided to send a warship to protect the overseas Chinese..."

Sun Yat-sen suddenly said these words. Not only was Gu Zhongxiu stunned, but all the legislators in the lobby were stunned!

Sun Yat-sen straightened his waist and announced with high spirit: "I have decided to send Haichen, Haizhi, and Haiqi on the way back to Suramaya to protect overseas Chinese!"

As soon as his words fell, the members of the Alliance Committee were already moved to tears. They came back from overseas and knew more or less about the suffering of overseas Chinese!

Li Xiang had all kinds of emotions in his heart and said, "In the case of Surya, it is especially appropriate to insist on it and solve it lightly. Our people and others swear in blood and tears to cleanse the shame of the country. I am willing to work hard with you to save the national power!"

Sun Yat-sen said, "Although I agree with the protection of overseas Chinese, I don't agree to go to war with the Netherlands. General Li is dedicated to the negotiation of the warship. If you can guarantee that you can't afford the end of the war, I promise to send you as the plenipotentiary representation.

Li wanted to know that Sun Yat-sen still had scruples. He sighed in his heart and said, "Don't worry, you can't fight."

Sun Yat-sen stared at him for a long time and said, "Then you can do it!" I will call Beijing to ensure that I will give you the status of a legal negotiating committee. However, the four conditions for negotiating with the Netherlands must be kept in mind: first, release all arrested overseas Chinese; second, compensation for property losses; third, compensation for the victim; fourth, restore human rights, and treat all overseas Chinese and European and Japanese.

Li Xiang said, "If there is no satisfactory answer, Li Xiang will treat you quite well."

............

Beijing. Zhuerdian's private residence in Minxiang, Dongjiao.

Yuan Shikai has been talking with Duke Zhu Andian for a long time.

Zhu Andian sighed and said, "The Dutch are tough, and it's difficult to mediate!"

Yuan Shikai said, "If it is not difficult, I will not invite your country to come forward. The south forced me to push hard. The provisional government repeatedly issued several electricity. The public opinion appeal of the general public aroused the indignation of the Chinese people. The electricity from all walks of life came one after another, and it converged into a powerful torrent of protecting overseas Chinese like snowflakes.

Zhu Andian smiled and said, "Really?"

Yuan Shikai said seriously, "This is not only public opinion. The provisional cabinet meeting in the south has approved three cruisers to go south to Surai to protect overseas Chinese. The negotiation committee is the crazy Li!"

Zhu Erdian stood up and said seriously, "Our country does not want instability in the Far East. I can responsibly inform the president that our government has begun to negotiate with the Netherlands as early as the president's first mediation request!" Therefore, please be sure to tell Marshal Li in the south about our attitude to avoid conflict.

Yuan Shikai couldn't help holding Zhu Erdian's hand and said happily, "Great, thank you so much... I will also call Liu Jingren, the minister in the Netherlands, and ask him to try his best to negotiate with the Dutch authorities."
