168 single knife to the meeting

Early in the morning. As soon as Li Shang arrived at the Red Mansion and walked into the office, Tang Hualong came.

How's it going? How have you been recently? Li thought, "Is your work going well? No one bothers you, right?

Li wants to go back to Wuchang for so long. They don't seem to have talked seriously, and I don't know if they did it on purpose.

"As usual," Tang Hualong said, "What about you?"

"I'm still busy." Then, Li Xiang said to Tang Hualong, "It's nothing more than a speech in the whole province and attending an extremely boring banquet..."

"The League will reorganize the Revolutionary Party." Tang Hualong suddenly said.

Li Xiang was confused for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Tang Hualong explained: "After obtaining the consent of Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren began to merge the five parties in Beijing to form the Kuomintang: the United Republican Party, the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang, the Republican Progressive Association and the Alliance."

Li Xiang was not surprised. History is indeed a particularly great inertia. However, he still knowingly asked, "Why did Song Jiaoren merge the Alliance with other political parties and reorganize it into the Kuomintang?"

"Since the temporary government moved north, Yuan Shikai succeeded as the interim president. There has been a case of the resignation of Premier Tang, the murder of Zhang Zhenwu, and the case of Lu Zhengxiang's distrust. The Alliance Association failed to play a role in these trends. After the reorganization of Nanjing, Sun and Huang ignored party affairs. If they do not seek a complete reorganization, the largest party in the Republic of China will disappear.

Li Xiang sighed, "Song Jiaoren is a talented political party activist."

"It's a pity that it can't be used for us. Song Jiaoren is a good player in a political party organization. He is young and can speak and write. He is not only a talented orator, but also a famous political commentator. He often uses the pseudonym "Taoyuan Fisherman" to publish political opinions in the newspaper. He participated in the Changsha Uprising in his early years, and he was the head of the Huaxing Association with Chen Tianhua, who died in the sea. Tang Hualong roughly understood Li Xiang's thoughts. He added: "Due to the needs of the facts, the League must merge many small parties to achieve the purpose of "destroying the party and building the party". Only Song Jiaoren can use agile political means to not only get in touch with the United Republican Party, but also get in touch with the three small parties: the National Communist Party, the National Party and the Republican Progressive Party. These three small political parties were originally some mixed organizations differentiated from the League and the Constitutional monarchy. Everyone agreed to form a big party..."

In fact, now everyone can see that after withdrawing from Tang Shaoyi's cabinet, Song Jiaoren, who is passionate about party politics, is dedicated to organizing a large party to have a political confrontation with Yuan Shikai in the House.

"What is the opinion of Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang?"

"Before Sun Yat-sen went north, he and Huang Xing jointly called each branch in Shanghai for approval." Tang Hualong asked strangely, "Didn't you receive the telegram or didn't you read it?"

Li Xiang coughed dryly: "I've been very busy recently."

Li wanted to look for it on his desk and finally found it.

jian of each branch: According to the call from the Beijing headquarters: 'In the past few days, it has been negotiated and merged with the United Republican Party, the National Congress and the Kuomintang Party, organized separately, and put forward the following conditions for each other: (i) Name: Kuomintang; (ii) Purpose: to consolidate the republican and implement civilian politics; (iii) Five articles of the party platform: maintain political unity, Promote local autonomy, encourage racial assimilation, adopt people's livelihood policies, and maintain international peace; (4) Use the director system, and promote one of them as the chairman. Yesterday, the Federation of All Staff Councillors was opened, and the merger conditions have passed 'Yunyun. The above conditions, such as the text, are not contrary to the purpose of the association. It is also the cooperation of the majority of political parties to see and implement the people in the arms of our party. This is not a unique blessing, but also the blessing of the future of the Republic of China. At the beginning of the establishment of the League, its name originally contained the meaning of the Revolutionary League. The republic was initially established and changed to a political party. Those who proposed to change the name will benefit the public. At this time, it is easy, which can be said to be two birds with one stroke. I hereby call your branch for your consent for official publication. Wen and others have repeatedly received a letter from President Yuan to hold a letter of invitation. They have decided to go north on the 17th, and the reply will be handed over to the headquarters of the Beijing League.

Indating: Sun Wen, Huang Xing.

......

Beijing.

Anqing Hall held a preparatory meeting for the Kuomintang.

Song Jiaoren said in a speech: "... The merger and establishment of the Kuomintang is all out of the intention of Sun and Huang Ergong, and I can't implement it."

Sun Yat-sen is an admirer of the political operation mode of Western political parties. As early as when he took office as the interim president of the Republic of China, he reorganized the Alliance to adapt to the development of the times. At least he tried to transform the Alliance from a secret organization in the past to an open political party. Sun Yat-sen has always believed that whether it is a democratic constitutional monarchy or a constitutional monarchy, it depends on the operation of political parties. The operation mode of the British and American two-party systems is the most perfect result of political parties in the world, so there is nothing wrong with the party struggle between political parties - "In this republican era, regardless of the political party and the Democratic Party, there is mutual supervision and mutual support. Responsibility. If the government is good, it will support it; if it is not good, it will be overthrown. Before the formation of the Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing proposed to merge with other parties to form a large party. Therefore, the formation of the Kuomintang is in line with Sun Yat-sen's original intention.

"... At this time when the party's struggle is fierce, if the party shakes a little, I'm afraid that others will change the name and divide the situation, and its danger is unimaginable!" Song Jiaoren said heavily.

"I'm against the reorganization!" Tian Tong roared fiercely, "The alliance has been bled for decades. Today, it should be supported by life!"

Bai Yuehuan cried bitterly and shouted, "The name of the Alliance is the same as the Republic of China, but how can it be mentioned in the reorganization?"

Cai Yuanpei has always supported Song Jiaoren's decision in Beijing, but today he said, "You can't sacrifice yourself and follow others. The name of the alliance must not be changed."

"This reorganization," a person from the Hubei Alliance suddenly lowered his voice and said to the people around him, "We can really live up the reputation of the reformists."

He refers to the name of the old members of the Hubei Alliance.

However, most of the opponents are only opposed to changing the name of the party and not against the reorganization of the alliance.

"The United Republican Party, headed by Cai E, the governor of Yunnan, has the intention to unite with the League, which is a great opportunity." Song Jiaoren shouted, "Destroying the party and building the party is just giving up the name of the alliance, but it can absorb other small political parties to form a large party and become the largest party in the parliament, with the majority of the parliament to organize a responsible cabinet. According to Song's proposal, it is to give up the struggle against Yuan on the presidential issue and military strength, and gain a superior position in the parliament and the cabinet, so that Yuan's president has no power.

"Oh, it's not bad..."

This proposition soon wavered the members of those persistent alliances.

Song Jiaoren paused and said, "Before, Yuan Shikai used force to threaten the Senate to pass the cabinet list. You won't forget..."

Thinking of the fact that in the trend of the mainland cabinet and they were attacked by the military and police in the Senate, they had already made death threats from Beiyang soldiers. Most of them were provoked by Song Jiaoren and immediately became extremely angry, so they finally decided that the alliance would reorganize the case.

......

The "Anping" ship finally arrived in Tianjin.

There is a vast sea of people on the dock.

The Governor's Office received a telegram from Yantai. Mr. Zhisun arrived on the same day and immediately sent someone to the dock of the China Merchants Bureau to clean up and prepare for a welcome.

There are many police officers sent by the police, each of whom is guarding, trying to maintain order at the dock.

Governor Zhang Jinbo, police officer Yang Yide, negotiating envoy wang Kemin, Tiao Xue Si Cai Shujie, Yun Si Zhang Ji, Sun Shaohou, Wang Faqin, Yu Bangzheng, Unified Party Ji Wenhan, Wu Jizeng, Lu Shaoyi, Yue Shutang, National Donation Association Zhao Junke, Provincial Capital Wang Baozhen, Women's Political Council Shen Peizhen, Council , the board of directors, the autonomous association, the citizens' association, the Shandong People's Party, the Public opinion newspaper, the national style newspaper and other representatives came to the dock one after another.

Waiting anxiously, a five-color flag suddenly appeared on the sea level line.

"H Long live!"

The crowd suddenly broke out, and they all took off their hats and cheered long live Sun Yat-sen, China's first president, and long live the Republic of China.

"Play music! Come on, play music!" Governor Zhang Jinbo opened his voice and shouted in the tide-like shouting.

The military band immediately sang a welcome song, and the police raised their guns.

Mr. Sun had already walked on the deck and stood in the bow of the boat. He saw a lot in such a scene, but he was still a little excited. He kept taking off his hat to thank the enthusiastic people on the dock.

When the ship was parked on the shore, several of Mr. Sun's entourage came out and were asked by representatives of various groups to board the ship. After being met by Liang Shiyi, the representative of Beijing, Zhang Jinbo, the direct governor, and Zhang Ji of the League, he was entertained by ten people including the waiter □ Gui Ting of the governor's office. Mr. Sun landed, and all the officials and groups accompanied him. Through the British and French concessions, there were horse teams to defend the Lishun Dexi Hotel.

During the banquet, the governor invited representatives of various groups to accompany him.

Chinese and foreign reporters held cups around Sun Yat-sen to ask questions.

"Why did you go north, sir?"

"Is it for the resignation of Premier Tang?"

"Is it a bloody case for General Zhang Zhenwu?"

"Is it to form a cabinet?"

......

Mr. Sun Yat-sen said with a smile, "This trip to Beijing will not reconcile the feelings between the north and the south and consolidate the foundation of the Republic of China."

"It is rumored that Japan and Russia made a third alliance to divide Mongolia. I don't know if Mr. Zhongshan has heard of it?"

"Do you have any suggestions for the diplomacy of the Republic of China?"

"Mr. Xiong's loan has failed, and the finance of the Republic of China is in danger of bankruptcy. What do you have for the finance of the Republic of China?"

"Do you have any suggestions on the cabinet crisis?"

......

Sun Yat-sen still held the cup and said with a gentle smile, "As for foreign affairs, finance and internal affairs, if President Yuan has any questions, I will tell President Yuan as much as I know in order to make up for it. If Yuan doesn't ask, it is not convenient for me to ask."

At the same time, Beijing is making a lot of preparations in advance: the station welcomes a lottery square, and the road is repaired in advance. The welcoming personnel will be issued a national flag badge by the police department, and no one is allowed to enter.

From the afternoon, a team of the former Praetorian Guard will stand on the two corridors of the station. Outside the door of the station, the patrol police expelled dozens of idle people and checked the welcoming personnel. In order, foreign guests are in front of the sub-members, political circles, academic circles, party members, newspapers, autonomous associations, business circles, military circles, and charity associations. The chiefs and members of each department are all there, and please also send dozens of superior officers, a total of more than 10,000 people.

Yuan Shikai couldn't help but be secretly shocked by Sun Yat-sen's spirit of daring to go to the meeting alone. He tried his best to put on a very warm welcome gesture and sent the president's special golden lacquer and red wheeled carriage, decorated with yellow satin, went outside the front door to welcome Sun Yat-sen, and ordered the military police in Beijing to welcome him with the president's gift. The people of Beijing automatically warmly welcome this revolutionary great man, and the whole city hangs flags to pay tribute!
