172 talk about peace

Luojiashan Villa.

Li Xiping stroked his knees with his hands and sat upright on his back. He said, "... Once the news of the signing of the Russia-Mongoliament Agreement came out, there was a lot of national public opinion. It unanimously accused the Yuan government of being unable to deal with it and insisted on not admit it."

"National radical groups have issued a campaign theory one after another." Song Que said, "When are we going to work!"

Song Que raised his head and shouted one after another. On days when there was no war, the bones grew moss.

"Dry the old man!"

......

Li wanted to listen very attentively, but he never said anything until the general below finished venting. The room calmed down, got up and paced a few steps, turned his face and said to Zeng Gao and Li Xiping, "Talk about peace verbally, secretly prepare for war, and try to be as careful as possible in foreign policy and secretly building armaments to avoid the middle of the great powers. The country took preventive military action... Don't think I'm weak. I have never forgotten that it is a task that we have to achieve in various ways throughout our lives.

Li Xiang said very emotionally. He twisted both eyebrows and looked at the outside, as if to penetrate the chaotic rain and fog. After a long time, he sighed helplessly.

Zeng Gao and Li Xiping and other generals have nothing to answer. They know Li Xiang's thoughts clearly. They remember that in the first section of My Struggle, Li Xiang once wrote: "Regaining the lost land of Manqing is a task that we have to achieve in various ways all our lives." What a blood-blooded word!

For a moment, the conference room was silent, and I only heard the rain and thunder outside. Suddenly, there was a huge thunder like a broken ice crack. A fireball fell down in the ink-dyed thick cloud. I don't know which corner of the city fell, which shook the earth, and several people's hearts were scared.

......

Sun Yat-sen was inspecting the first railway built by China in Zhangjiakou. After hearing about the Russian-Mongolian Agreement, he returned to Beijing with an instigation.

Hearing that Sun Yat-sen is back, Yuan Shikai set up a banquet to wash the dust for him in the Ying Hotel. Four or five hundred people arrived and arranged a meal in the hall. Sun Yat-sen and his entourage sat north and south. Yuan Shikai and the chief ministers, Wu Jingli, senior officers and Speaker of the Senate, Liang Shiyi, Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, and Sun Yuyun, Shen Bingkun, Zhang Binglin, Wang Geng, Sun Wu, Zhang Shaozeng, and the Mongolian king Taiji Lama Gongsan Norbu, Nayantu, Bodisu and others in Beijing all sat. The general officers of Beiyang sat in the east and west rows, and Sun and Yuan sat opposite each other in the middle.

After sitting down, he said some common polite words. Sun Yat-sen said bluntly, "The agreement of Russia is related to the survival of the Republic of China, and must be firmly denied."

Yuan Shikai's smiling face suddenly collapsed, and he said with a bitter face, "Brother also knows the seriousness of the matter. The government first ordered Liu Jingren, the minister to Russia, to declare that Mongolia is China's territory. Although it is not peaceful, it is not qualified to conclude treaties with foreign countries. I hereby officially declare that no matter what terms your country has concluded with Mongolia, the Chinese government will not recognize it.

Sun Yat-sen nodded and was very satisfied with Yuan Shikai's response.

Yuan Shikai added, "In order to make a change in diplomacy, the government has made the embassies abroad listen to the response, and hopes to get a little support from the great powers. Unexpectedly, the official reaction of various countries is very cold."

"In the past, there was a disharmon between the Mongolian-Tibetan region and the mainland. Today, it is even more so much more than before. If you want to solve this problem, you have to solve the diplomatic problem first." Sun Yat-sen also said. Sun Yat-sen advocated the establishment of a province in Outer Mongolia, which is not only Sun Yat-sen's idea. When the concept of non-ethnic regional autonomy is fashionable, for the purpose of border protection and development, the way to make rapid progress is naturally the same as the province and the mainland. However, after Sun Yat-sen entered Beijing, he had a new understanding of Mengqing, so he did not mention it again.

Yuan Shikai said: "At present, Britain and Japan are bargaining with the government on the issues of Tibet and Manchuria. France is an ally of Russia. Of course, they will not oppose Russia's actions. Among the powers, only Germany has expressed a little so-called "sympathy", but this is not enough to support the government.

Yuan Shikai said that he stopped here.

Returning to China, although the voice of the main battle is high, it is not easy to actually send troops. In the face of increasingly tense contradictions with the revolutionaries, Yuan Shikai will not easily transfer troops to the north. What Yuan Shikai is most worried about is that because the dissident forces in the mainland are still strong, he is not willing to mobilize the army expedition, and does not want to send the alien army to make contributions. In particular, he is worried about causing various disputes in diplomacy, which is not conducive to himself.

For the war maniac Li Kuangzi, who occupied such a strategic place as the Great Northwest, he would shout "negotiate with Russia to solve the Outer Mongolia issue", which made Yuan Shikai and other Beiyang generals breathe a sigh of relief.

Sun Yat-sen didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in Yuan Shikai's heart. He seriously thought for Yuan Shikai and said, "My brother has been thinking about it for a long time on the way back. He thinks that today's trouble is important. If you don't move the capital quickly, it's urgent to get together. It is difficult to move the capital, so the joint day cannot be postponed.

Yuan Shikai sprayed out as soon as he took a sip of soup. He was speechless about this Sun Cannon and nodded quickly.

Sun Yat-sen didn't seem to understand Yuan's intention, and said, "The China-Japan Alliance is very hopeful. It can be done in a period of half a year to a year. Therefore, the treaty between Russia and Mongolia must not be justified. When the strongest protest is made to prolong this problem, there will be a good result. It is also said, "Russia and Mongolia's move is just one or two good people who are happy. It is not the intention of the Russian government to take advantage of my unpreparedness to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, for this matter, take delay as the first way... If you want to fight with Russia, you have to train five million soldiers."

Yuan Shikai simply held the sea bowl and drank the soup. He didn't bother to pay attention to this Sun cannon.

"Although the political system is more, the country is still the country." Sun Yat-sen turned to the prince of Mongolia again and said in a kind tone: "Han and Mongolia are of the same kind. Human rights are originally gifted, and they are willing to combine groups to seek happiness together... And the Russians are ambitious and ready to take the opportunity to go. The situation in Mongolia is particularly difficult. Is it not a concerted effort? The noble prince and others care about the current situation, cherish Sangzi, and the state of Jizi is in danger. It is rumored that the order in the northwest is maintained. Pray for the meaning of the whole area, inform the Mongolian compatriots, work hard together, work together for a great plan, be patient to achieve the bottom, and don't misunderstand.

The princes of Mongolia in Beijing are all princes of bird cages. After the Qing court was revolutionized, they had long lost their arrogance. Naturally, they paid great respect to Sun Yat-sen, the revolutionary leader who removed the order of the Qing court.

Prince Karqin, Prince Gonsan Norbu, was so scared that he quickly affirmed his feelings and said, "Mongolia is not against the republic. Because of the misunderstanding, the north and the south have not yet been unified. Today, Mr. Sun came to the north and his opinions are harmonious, and Mongolia has abolished its independence."

Sun Yat-sen fully affirmed the patriotic position of the prince of Mongolia in Beijing, but unfortunately, they could not return to their territory and could not play a greater role.

"Sir!" Miss Song couldn't stand it anymore and quietly pulled Sun Yat-sen's sleeve.

Sun Yat-sen said to Miss Song: "In today's Russia, its people not only can't enjoy the benefits of the country, but also feel all kinds of pain in politics. However, Mongolian and Tibetan compatriots are currently unknown, and they are teased by outsiders, and all kinds of deviant behaviors have occurred. Our generation is difficult at this time, and we should try our best to persuade them to understand the truth of the republic and be consistent with our compatriots in the mainland, so as to share the happiness of the republic.

Miss Song buried her head in the soup and let him go.

After eating a soup, the second dish was served, and I heard the southwest corner begin to make noise and noise.

"Today's Republic is all the work of my Beiyang!"

With the Beiyang Army, another general scolded: "The alliance will be full of thugs!"

As the southeast corner also began to respond, he shouted more unscrupulously: "Sun Yat-sen has no power at all. It's a big talk, it's Sun cannon!"

"It's just a big liar!"

By this time, the officers in both platoons had already stood up. While making noise, they were also mixed with the sound of command knives touching the floor, pedaling their feet, cups, knives and forks, but they all stood in their seats and shouted and scolded.

Zhongshan's attitude was still calm as usual. Song Ailing, the secretary sitting next to him, frowned and looked at Sun Yat-sen as if nothing had happened, but to ignore it.

The food is still served as usual, but it is served very slowly.

At this point, many people are thinking that President Yuan or President Duan should say that you can't fool around, but they have never said anything.

After making trouble for about half an hour, it seemed that the action was very step-by-step. Judging from this situation, the shrewd Miss Song was obviously arranged. At the beginning, Fu Liangzuo and others wanted to wait for Zhongshan or his entourage to reply when it was noisy, so he took the opportunity to be insulted by Beiyang soldiers. But unexpectedly, Mr. Zhongshan's self-restraint was not generally good. When the attendants saw that Sun Yat-sen did not open his mouth, they always ignored it, as if they had not heard anything.

After drinking, Yuan Shikai couldn't see anything. Finally, he stood up and declared, and then he calmed down.

Yuan Shikai said: "Mr. Sun has traveled overseas for more than two years. This time, those who came to Beijing to do business with us have greatly contributed to the future of the Republic of China. Various political opinions are gradually emerging. For a while, it is difficult to describe. First of all, there are rumors that there are various opinions in the north and the south. Seeing Mr. Sun coming to Beijing today, he is extremely sincere with those who talk to me. It can be seen that the previous rumors are all misunderstandings, and the Republic of China has been further consolidated. This is the most welcome thing. Please have a drink together.

Yuan Shikai raised his glass and raised his wine to pay tribute.

Yuan Shikai shouted, " Long live Mr. Zhongshan."

The bottom is sparse.

Sun Yat-sen also said, "Today, the President of Chengda held a special banquet. Thank you very much for your appreciation. The founding of the Republic of China has a rough foundation and a lot of ideas. It takes all our five nations to work together to make progress in a complete Republic of China. ... Therefore, if you want to receive a real republican effect, as far as you can see in private, it is not ten years without merit. Today, President Yuan is rich in political experience and serves as a national government, which can celebrate China. ... The current crude construction of the Republic must be guaranteed by military strength. In the past, there were two republics in southern Africa, which were no longer military and were annexed. It can be seen that the Republic is not enough to save the country without troops. Fortunately, President Yuan is good at training soldiers. With the power of China, he trains millions of soldiers and protects the territory of our five major ethnic groups. ... With the people of our five major ethnic groups, who are both common and rich, and can educate everyone, keep pace with the great powers and civilized countries, and have strong soldiers as the shield, they will be the world's most powerful country in ten years. If you want to be a public here, you will also be optimistic.

After the words, Sun Yat-sen raised his glasses and shouted: "Hung, President Yuan! Long live the Republic of China! Long live the five major nations!"

Sun Yat-sen's shout, the shout of tsunami under the mountain.

At the end of the banquet, Sun and Yuan returned to the lounge of the deputy hall, and the hall was in chaos again. Beiyang soldiers left their seats and quarreled wantonly. They were very proud, and it took a long time to gradually disperse.

Out of the welcome hotel, Miss Song said angrily, "Sir, I'm so angry. Those Beiyang officers who messed around at the table were obviously the instructions of Yuan Shikai.

"We can't verify whether it is a "play" for us at the behest of Yuan," Sun Yat-sen said. Don't talk nonsense."

"But at least it can be seen from it," Miss Song said angrily, "These old bureaucrats are still quite disrespectful to them."

After all the guests left, Duan Qirui said disdainfully, "Sun Yat-sen is full of fantasy, just a cannon!"

"He sincerely advised me to train millions of soldiers to strengthen China, and he is willing to be responsible for road construction, hoping to extend the national railway to 200,000 miles - let's take it as a fantasy. There is no need to openly question the feasibility of Sun Yat-sen's plan. Why don't we attract Sun Yat-sen, push the boat along the water, let Sun supervise the national railway, and let him complete the great plan of 200,000 miles. Yuan Shikai said.

Liang Shiyu said, "Send Sun Yat-sen to build the railway is obviously for his own favor. Find a difference for the revolutionary leader and settle down, so that he will not continue the revolution or resurreate. He has something to do, so he doesn't have time to dictate what we do. There will be no attention to the "Union Japan and Anti-Russia" at the stall where Japan and Russia are seeking the third secret treaty.
