301 Mi Tian Da Yong Zhong

301 Mi Tian Da Yong (middle)

The highest-level negotiations between the north and the south have begun.

On the morning of the second day when Li thought of Beijing, Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong negotiated and arranged specific arrangements with Yuan Keding at the presidential palace. Li Xiang had a direct discussion with Yuan Shikai for the first time in the afternoon of the same day.

"Mand is expensive." Li seemed to sigh when he wanted to speak!

Yuan Shikai also expressed this wish to Li Xiang. He said to Li Xiang, "If the two of us can cooperate, the world will be easier. There can be no more Northern and Southern Dynasties in China, and it can't be ruled by painting rivers. Between the north and the south, there are shortcomings and expertise. I'm all fifty or sixty people. I always have to make a name in ten years, otherwise I'm sorry to the people..."

Li wanted to listen and was silent. When did Yuan Shikai have such awareness?

At this time, Yuan Shikai said to Li Xiang, "It's better for the Kuomintang not to engage in the army. If you only compete in politics, you can be accepted."

"I don't engage in the army, won't I become the second Song Jiaoren? Do you have the courage to stand up with you here?" Lixiang said.

Thinking of this, Li wants to stand up, look at Yuan Shikai, and answer, "I am fully in favor of the nationalization of the army. The army should become the national defense force, only serve the national defense, not the party, and the party does its best to run politics..."

Yuan Shikai thought while listening, Li Xiang is not slow, neither arrogant nor humble, and speaks a few words. No wonder that whenever he is successful in diplomacy, "Crazy Li" has something to be sure on the negotiating table.

Yuan Shikai slowly lingered and meditated. During this meeting, because Yuan Shikai was not fully prepared in advance, he could not come up with a specific plan for a while. It was on the day Li Xiang arrived in Beijing that he hurriedly called a meeting to discuss countermeasures. The meeting provisionalized three negotiation guidelines.

Yuan Shikai condescendingly said to Li Xiang, "The reason why the government did not put forward a specific plan first is to show that the government has no certain preconsiderations about the negotiations and is willing to listen to all the opinions of the Kuomintang. I hope that the Kuomintang will know everything in the spirit of sincerity and frankness.

Li Xiang took Yuan Shikai's words and said, "The Kuomintang hopes that through this negotiation, the civil war will truly end and eternal peace can be achieved..."

"There is no civil war in China!" Yuan Shikai blurted out.

In front of Li Xiang's old opponent, Yuan Shikai mentioned the so-called "No Civil War" in China. In his eyes, the Kuomintang is just a "bandit" and the "anti-bandit" is not a civil war.

Li Xiang sneered and said, "It is a deception to say that China has no civil war. It is not in line with the truth at all. Even a three-year-old doll will not believe it."

Li Xiang's firmness in principle is extremely strong, and he never gives in in the face of big right and wrong. He immediately refuted Yuan Shikai's point of view.

Yuan Shikai didn't expect that Li Xiang's words would be as smooth as an antelope's horns. In an instant, it would become as sharp as the Mitsubishi thorn of the National Revolutionary Army, and he was speechless for a moment. Finally, the three principles of negotiation are put forward: (i) the whole solution of all problems; (ii) the solution of all problems must not violate the unity of government orders and military orders; (iii) the reorganization of the government shall not go beyond the existing legal system.

The first high-level meeting is mainly based on the principle of discussion.

In the evening, Li Xiang's main assistants Tang Hualong, Li Yuanhong and Yuan Keding, Duan Qirui, Yang Shiqi and others continued to exchange general opinions.

......

Li wants to go to Beijing to negotiate in person, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The first is to meet with Yuan Shikai to strive for domestic peace; the second is to have extensive contact with various political leaders and social sages on the Chinese political stage and work among them, which has greatly improved the reputation of the Hubei Kuomintang in all walks of life and won the hearts and hearts of the people. Yuan Shikai can't calculate this account.

As soon as Li Xiang stepped on the capital, there was a lot of praise from all walks of life in the national unified area. Many people praised that Li wanted to dare to go to the "Hongmen Banquet" in person, which was a feat of "the safety of the world".

Li Xiang himself dared to go to Beijing in person, and at the same time, as the acting prime minister of China's largest party, he came to strive for peace, which made the Kuomintang take the political initiative at the beginning of the peace talks, and the image among the people of Beiyang unified area also changed fundamentally because of Li Xiang's trip.

Li Xiang's value doubled as a result, and the people in the rear looked at Li Xiang and the Kuomintang in Hubei. The name "Li Xiang" has become a hot topic among the people under the imperial city for a while, and even thousands of Beijing citizens spontaneously crowded on the road in front of the Huguang Hall, which has been converted into the Kuomintang office in Beijing, competing to witness the warm scene of Marshal Li.

In Beijing, Li wants to not only participate in negotiations, but also visit people from all walks of life and participate in various social communication activities. In the words of Beiyang stubborn elements, Li Xiang is engaged in a "conspiracy" to unify zhan. Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, Li Xiang will see it anyway. Li Xiang dealt with the left, the right, the senior officials, the ordinary people, with the help of Tang Hualong, the leader of the Constitutional Council, and Li Yuanhong, the former Qing bureaucrat.

Li Xiang, Tang Hualong and Li Yuanhong called it "to visit old friends and make new friends".

Strengtheing the support of the democratic parties is an important task for Li Xiang's trip to Beijing.

Li Xiang wrote Qinyuanchun at Liang Qichao's banquet. "Snow" was seen by reporters in the biography, and the full text was immediately published. Then it caused a huge sensation.

Many people were surprised: Li Xiang didn't expect to have such literary talent and such literary heritage. The silent Beijing literary world is boiling.

Li wanted to leave Zhongnanhai and went to Cotton Hutong to visit General Cai E, who had been friends for a long time.

Cai E, Li Xiang's name, has heard about it for a long time. It was this man who opened the prelude to the Xinhai Revolution. He fought in the northwest and Panma in the southwest. Wherever he went, he was invincible. The Hubei army was famous for being good at fighting in the world. Cai E has also been a divine friendship with Li Xiang for a long time. The last time he met at his mentor Liang Qichao's family, there was no deep friendship in a hurry. He felt very sorry. Li Xiang took the initiative to visit, which was really overjoyed.

Li Xiang explained to Cai E the six urgent requirements put forward in the Declaration of the Kuomintang in Hubei.

Cai E repeatedly said "very fair" and said that if Yuan Shikai had no conscience, it should be adopted and implemented.

Cai E also said to Li Xiang worriedly, "Yuan Shikai is playing a Hongmen banquet. How can he take care of a little faith? Last year, I told him: 'Only with the implementation of democracy can China have hope.' He even threatened me, 'Only the Kuomintang talks about democracy.' Now that the situation at home and abroad has changed, he has also shouted 'democracy' and 'democracy'!"

Li Xiang said indifferently: "Democracy has also become Yuan Shikai's fashionable goods. If he wants to play a fake play of democracy, we will come to him to do a fake play, so that the people of the whole country can be the audience, see whether it is true or false, and distinguish right from right and wrong. This play will be of great value."

After that, Li Xiang introduced the facts of the creation and construction of Hubei District.

Cai E is very concerned about the development of Hubei.

The southern provinces have raised men and women's and women's civilians, but they are the most resolute in this issue. The Ezhou Law clearly stipulates that women have the rights to participate in politics, discuss politics, freedom of marriage, education, etc. There are female soldiers in the National Revolutionary Army, and there are female parliamentarians in the Hubei District Council.

Cai E heard early in the morning that the discipline of the National Revolutionary Army was Yanming. He once asked someone to copy the "Three Da Discipline and Ba Note of Revolutionary Soldiers" of Li Xiang's personal system. Cai E believes that Wan Jun's "Three Da Discipline and Ba Note" is completely a reduced version of Zeng Guofan's "Love Folk Song". Compared with the original version, because of the small number of words, it is more It is easy for soldiers to remember.

For this reason, Li Xiang also compiled the "Military Song" tune and used the queue song used by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, to train the new army. The original name of the song was "German Emperor William's Training Song". Compared with "Love Folk Song", the tune is beautiful and more catchy:

Revolutionary soldiers should keep in mind that the three da discipline should pay attention to Ba items. First, we should listen to all actions and command, and only with the same pace can we win. Second, we should not take the masses with a needle and thread. The masses support and like me. Third, all seizures should be returned to the public and strive to reduce the burden of the people. We should do the third da discipline. Ba should pay attention. Don't forget, first, you should have a good attitude, respect the masses and don't be proud. Second, the buying and selling price should be fair. Public buying and selling should not be domineering. Third, if you have used borrowed things, don't lose them in person. Fourth, if you damage things, the compensation according to the price is not the same. Fifth, you can beat people and scold people. Warlords work. The wind resolutely overcomes it. The sixth is to love the crops of the masses. The marching and operations department noticed that the seventh is not allowed to flirt with women, and the hooligan habits should be resolutely eliminated. The eighth is not to abuse prisoners. It is not allowed to fight and scold. It is not allowed to search their pockets. Everyone should be conscious of discipline. Don't violate each other's supervision. The provisions of revolutionary discipline should be clearly remembered. People's war. Scholars love the people everywhere, defend the motherland and move forward forever. The people of the whole country support and welcome them.

When Cai E went to the south to train troops, he originally used Zeng Guofan's "Love Folk Song", and later changed to the National Revolutionary Army's "Three Da Discipline and Ba Note".

Cai E will not hesitate to bring it where the National Revolutionary Army is worth learning from.

Recently, Cai E read Li Xiang's masterpiece My Struggle. In his opinion, Li Xiang is a revolutionary theorist no less than Sun Yat-sen. It's hard for Cai E to look like this man who is 5 years younger than him. In fact, Li Xiang is more than 100 years older than Cai E. He is a traveler.

Through the two battles of Henan and Jiangxi, Cai E has a general understanding of the entire military of the National Revolutionary Army. The current Marshal Li can be said to be strong, which makes him feel a little unclear. Li Xiang's military strength is so strong. Of course, in the situation in Henan, even if he can't fight, I'm afraid that the Beiyang army in Henan must suffer heavy casualties. From the current perspective, according to the situation at that time, Li wanted to take Henan and cross the Yellow River, but he suddenly accepted the British's suggestion. Cai E couldn't figure it out. If he attacked Henan and won the victory in Jiangxi, Liang Qichao, the teacher, asked him to stop the war, and he would choose to fight. He will not only fight Henan, but also always Go to Beijing. From Li Xiang's perspective, he should not know what will happen if he fights, but he chose the armistice. No matter how many reasons he has, he has a "selfishness" in the final analysis. Cai E tried to analyze from this aspect. He really didn't know what interests drove him to act like that. He vaguely felt that the relationship between Li Xiang and Sun Yat-sen was not as publicized by the outside world, because Li Xiang's words and deeds were different from Sun Yat-sen. The Kuomintang is now engaged in left and right opposition, and the responsibility should be attributed to Li Xiang. As an outsider, Cai E does not comment much on the matter of the Kuomintang. As for Li Xiang's relationship with Sun Yat-sen, he doesn't want to ask more, but he still admires his great courage from the bottom of his heart.
