ideal era

169 It's too late to meet

Sun Yat-sen arrived in Beijing.

President Yuan represents Liang Shiyi, and cabinet chiefs Duan Qirui, Zhao Bingjun, Xu Shiying, Liu Guanqun, Chen Zhenxian, etc. Senator Wu Jingliao and members of the Senate welcomed him.

The train slowly entered the platform, the military band played military music to welcome, raised their hats and clapped their hands, Chinese and foreign people gathered at the station, cheered, the people were empty alleys, cheered, competed for Mr. Sun's color, people were excited, and the situation of the unification of the Republic of China suddenly dawned. The soldiers of the two corridors prepared to fire artillery inside and outside to show martial law, and the orphans of the orphans sang a welcome song.

After Mr. Zhongshan met with the presidents and representatives of the regiments, he held his hat high and walked through the crowd. People on both sides scrambled to see that he was rich, crowded and the patrolman's bullet pressure were ignored.

Welcome! Welcome!"

Acting Cabinet Secretary Zhao Bingjun and others welcomed the president and took off their hats and shook hands.

"It's a great honor for us to come, sir."

Judiciary Xu Shiying, Finance Zhou Xuexi, Army Duan Qirui and representatives paid tribute one after another.

"Sir, please get in the car." Duan Qirui, dressed in a uniform, said.

After Mr. Zhongshan met with the presidents and representatives of the regiments, he held his hat high and walked through the crowd. People on both sides scrambled to see that he was rich, crowded and the patrolman's bullet pressure were ignored.

Chinese and Western reporters each carried photos and mechanical photography and took videos throughout the whole process.

Mr. Sun entered the guest room and rested for a while, and the entourage and the welcome were ahead.

Mr. Sun and President Duan walked hand in hand. After that, the presidents took two carriages from Zhengyangmen to the city.

Mr. took a slightly stacked double carriage. This car was also used by the regent of the former Qing Dynasty. It was lined with yellow satin, horse peiluo, pure yellow silk, and gold lamps. It was also specially prepared to welcome the German prince. It has not been used so far. President Yuan specially borrowed it to prepare Mr. Zhongshan when he was in Beijing and used it everywhere. The leading cavalry was thirty, each holding a white flag with the word welcome, and then supporting dozens of military police inspectors. Along the way, the army and police stood solemnly with guns. Enter the city from the front of Zhengyang Gate, get off at the Ying Hotel and enter the room.

When Sun arrived, the citizens filled the streets with lanes, and the spectators were blocked. Political science, gentry and business army, lined up, encouraging and jubilant, which was a great prosperity for a while.

First, I went to Lord Shi Hutong to welcome the hotel for tea. Zhao Bingjun and others accompanied him. President Yuan also sent Mr. Yu, a senior official, to the government banquet.

Sun Zhongshan wanted to meet Yuan Shikai again the next day, but Yuan was proactive and sent someone to greet Sun Yat-sen that night.

When Sun Yat-sen arrived at the Presidential Palace of Iron Lion Hutong, he walked out of the inner living room and stood at the entrance of the steps to prepare to greet him. At this time, Yuan Shikai's horse team also galloped. As soon as Yuan went up and got off the car, he had to be helped by the attendant. This time, he waved his hand to the bodyguard not to help him. He forced himself to walk up the steps, indicating that he walked lightly and walked lightly. He slowed down to the top two steps of the steps.

Sun Yat-sen took the first two steps and came to shake hands. Yuan Shikai also shook hands in awe and said, "Sir, it must be very hard on the road."

Yuan Shikai attached great importance to this meeting. He wore a military uniform and a knife. At that time, at the military ceremony, guests in the room had to take off their hats and take off their knives. Yuan may forget the etiquette because he was too excited and nervous that day.

Yuan Shikai always had the habit of scratching his head. After sitting down, he scratched his temples as usual. Because he touched the hat, he suddenly felt that he had not taken off his hat or knife, so he quickly took off the knife with his hand, and the knife was very tight around his waist. For a moment, he could not take it off, so he slowly took off the military hat with his left hand. I was a little embarrassed for a while.

While Sun and Yuan were talking, Mrs. Lu came out from the inner room next to the hall to meet, and Miss Song accompanied Mrs. Lu. At that time, Miss Song was Mrs. Lu's secretary and translator. Yuan Shikai was also very polite to Mrs. Lu, asking about the diet and the situation on the road. Yuan Shikai is 7 years older than Sun Yat-sen, but in contrast, Sun's attitude is solemn and natural, while Yuan is extremely restrained. Obviously, the two are not on the same level.

That night, Yuan Shikai invited Sun Yat-sen and Mrs. Lu to have a dinner party in the auditorium of the presidential palace and made an appointment with cabinet members to accompany them. The two did not talk about political issues head-on.

Yuan Shikai personally held the cup in Sun Yat-sen and said, "I look forward to Mr. Ke Qiang and Ke Qiang for a long time. Now Ke Qiang has not been with me, and I have not heard the great theory together. I am deeply sorry. Fortunately, Mr. Huiran is willing to come, which is very gratifying. Under the current events, the border police come one after another. Shikai's knowledge is thin and shallow. I hope that Mr. Shen Kai can teach me to strengthen the foundation of the country. Shikai is entrusted by the people. On behalf of 40,000 compatriots, I would like to ask for a grand theory, so that I can't catch it. Finance and diplomacy are very difficult. Mr. You Wang helps from time to time.

When Sun Yat-sen saw Yuan Shikai saying this, he said, "Wen has lived overseas for a long time. There may be some details about the domestic situation. If you know it, you should contribute. However, since the rise of the army, business has withered everywhere, the people are unable to make a living, and the finance is stagnant. In order to save the great trouble, the only way is to set up a business and pay attention to the colonization. However, they all want to build a developed medium of transportation. Therefore, we should rush to build a national railway, and we still hope that the president will support it as soon as possible. If the future of the Republic of China will benefit a lot.

Yuan Shikai hurriedly said, "Extremely yes, extremely yes!"

......

Yuan Shikai said to his son Yuan Keding after Sun Yat-sen left, "I don't want Zhongshan to be so bright!"

Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen are too late to meet,

Sun Yat-sen also commented on the people around him: "President Yuan can be kind, and there is no intention of being unfaithful to the Republic of China. The people must not be suspicious of President Yuan, attack each other arbitrarily, so that they can't do anything, and turn to provoke President Yuan to be evil."

......

With this happy mood, the next morning, Sun Yat-sen went to Huguang Hall to participate in the activity.

On the way of the vehicle, Sun Yat-sen found himself being hugged by a large number of followers and horse teams, and both sides of the street along the way were full of military police.

Sun Yat-sen immediately lost his temper and said, "Although I am abdicating president, I am really uneasy to be a member of the people like this. If the entourage and the military and police along the way can't be removed, I can only stay in Beijing for a day or two. Isn't the purpose of the republic to make the people happy? The people don't even have the right to walk on the street. Where is Anle?

Yuan Shikai withdrew from the military and police after hearing the news.

Sun Yat-sen went to Huguang Hall to participate in a new "political party" - the founding meeting of the Kuomintang.

Beijing Huguang Hall is located in the southwest corner of Hufang Bridge. It is a group of buildings with carved beams and painted buildings and grinding bricks against the green water wall. It presents the splendor of the inner courtyard of the palace, but it is also exquisite and has the style of the royal palace.

The Kuomintang held its inaugural meeting at the Huguang Hall in Beijing. The scene was unprecedentedly spectacular, and as many as 2,000 people came to the meeting.

Provisional Chairman Zhang Ji read the draft report on the merger of the five parties and the political platform:

"The China Alliance, the United Republican Party, the National Convention, the National Progressive Association, and the Republican Progressive Association are merged into one, giving up the old and the new... Its name is the Kuomintang!"

The Kuomintang Declaration claims that according to the concept of Western party politics, the national parliament and government are organized by a small number of outstanding elements, who appear as members of political parties:

In China, the imperial system was destroyed. It changed the state into a republic and a political system into a constitution. However, the political central forces of the republican and constitutional country cannot but converge with political parties. The reason why the country was established is nothing more than the synthetic heart power of the people - only the role of the people's synthetic heart power is not necessarily the one that can be directly mobilized by all the people - it is why there are excellent special people - in law, a few excellent special people organize parliament and government to represent the nationals of the country; in fact, A few outstanding specialists are gathered into political parties to lead all the people.

And the political party is a thing - it has the political opinion of consolidating a huge combination with systematic, organized and truth. The barriers are strong and the flag is clear. It is enough to use the politics of the country, and implement the direction of the country's benefit of the people's wealth, and then organize the government, and then become a like-minded political party cabinet (the country of responsibility cabinet system, large The president stands in a transcendant position, so the political party does not have to compete for the president, but only organizes the cabinet). With the political opinions he believes in, he is rich in taking measures. If he retreats and is in the opposition, his party will be in power, and he is in a position of supervision, and politics is an opportunity to rise day by day.

The heroines of the League listened for a long time and found that at the request of the Kuomintang, the newly established Kuomintang abolished the equal rights of men and women.

Tang Qunying, Shen Peizhen and other well-known female members of the alliance who participated in the conference were very angry. Song Jiaoren, who presided over the merger, was next to this group of female heroes, so they questioned Song Jiaoren, who was responsible for the preparation of the Revolutionary Party. In the case of not opportunistic words, a strong female member grabbed Song Jiaoren's hair and gave a few big-eared melon seeds on the spot, which terrmented the male members in the venue.

However, Fortunately, feminism was not very developed at that time. When the subsequent discussion on whether to include "emen's and women's equal rights" in the Kuomintang's platform, Chairman Zhang suggested to vote in the form of raising hands. As a result, a result, a very small number of female compatriots could not compete with the many rough hands of male members, and far less than half of them raised their hands.

Of course, the women of the Women's League will quit. The meeting will be closed due to the deletion of the new policy platform, and the meeting will not continue.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen was here at this time.

"Mr. Zhongshan is here! Mr. Zhongshan is here!"

The scene became more lively.

Chairman Zhang, the host of the meeting, wiped the sweat all over his head and came in to meet Sun Yat-sen.

Chairman Zhang Jizhi's welcome speech: "Mr. is the forerunner of the Chinese revolution, the founder of the League, and the first great man to create the Republic of China. Mr. came to Beijing, and the Appropriate Alliance is about to be reorganized. Once the new party is established, under your guidance, it will definitely become a more perfect political party..."

After that, Mr. Sun Yat-sen delivered a speech: "In this critical autumn of China, it is only suitable for everyone to work together. The merger of the five parties has since become a great political party, either in an administrative position or in a supervisory position. It is always premised on the interests of the country and the people. Then our Chinese people will become rich and stronger every day. Therefore, the brothers have endless hope for the merger of the five parties. ... Political parties must have two or several parties to supervise and support each other, and then there will be political progress. Therefore, although political parties have different opinions and different behaviors, they should all benefit the country and the people. With the merger of the five parties today, all monarchs should hold this concept, and the future of the country will never be in danger. ... The advocates of the League are three doctrines, one nationalism, two civil rights, and three humanism. Today's national and civil rights have reached their goals, but the issue of people's livelihood has yet to be solved. ...The party platform of the alliance of equal rights for men and women. This time, if we want to organize a strong political party, according to the political opinions of the five major parties, this can be put aside. On the premise of the country, we have to temporarily decide from the majority. However, if we can fully consolidate the republican, men and women will have their own equal rights.

Sun Yat-sen's voice just fell, the group was excited, and the voice was thunderous.

Song Jiaoren pulled Zhang Ji and said, "Hurry up, send out the ballot quickly, fill it out and collect it."

When Song Jiaoren saw that Sun Yat-sen was ready to step down, looked at the turbulent crowd, and quickly wink at Sun Yat-sen: "Sir, go on, don't stop."

Sun Yat-sen seemed to understand a little, and only continued to say, "... The Alliance would revolutionize against the autocracy of darkness and create a republic of light. The last year's uprising was fortunately successful. It really depends on the assistance and approval of compatriots across the country, not just the achievements of the alliance members. Today's construction is more difficult to destroy, especially with concerted efforts to achieve success. The purpose is to reconcile the party's opinions and accommodate different talents.
