The Rise of Manjianghong

Chapter 227 high-five!

When Sun Yat-sen was hesitating in the face of a choice in the ruling axe, he was in the Baidu Bridge brigade company overseas, wearing a black Chinese-style casual clothes, Yang Du, with luggage on the sla trolley, hurried to the dock and boarded a line called "Dun? The British cruise ship Sherfield.

When the sky is about to brighten, "Dun? The cruise ship "Sherfield" sounded a whistle and left the Huangpu River, carrying thousands of Eurasian passengers on the ship. On the cruise ship, Yang Du, wearing official clothes and carrying a huge sum of 500,000 yuan sponsored by Yuan Shikai, did not attract anyone's attention. Like ordinary Chinese people, as a Chinese, he could only buy first-class cabin. The first class of the ferry ticket is the patent of white people. Of course, white servants can also take first class with their masters.

But this treatment did not make Yang Du feel any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, deep in his heart, he was a little excited. He knew that he was about to gamble. This gamble was not related to his fate in the next few decades. If he succeeded... At this time, he couldn't help thinking that he was a little nervous, so that he was in a long time. Can't calm down.

He knew that his behavior was almost no less than the repeat of Xiang Qishi's persuasion of Zeng Guofan to be independent fifty years ago. It was a feat that Xiangqi was proud of all his life. In the past few years, Yang Du also wanted to follow the example, but he never found an opportunity. Now he has found an opportunity that is no different from this. The excitement in his heart made Yang Du decide to go to the bow of the boat to blow the wind.

"Dun? The Sherfield cruise ship is like a huge blue whale, splitting waves in the vast sea, running straight to the world's first constitutional monarchy. In the past hundred years, no country has been able to shake its hegemony, Britain.

Yang Du, standing on the deck, was blown by the sea breeze, and his heart was turbulent. He was excited that he was sober and deeply aware of China's national conditions and the path he should choose in the comparison of positive and negative aspects. At the same time, he was also excited to find a way to make an appearance.

Againing the blue and rippling Pacific Ocean, Yang Du silently said in his heart: No matter how many setbacks he encounters in the future, no matter how many people oppose him, he must adhere to the belief of the constitutional monarchy and must follow this road to the end. He firmly believes that one day, China will move forward like this wave. The Sherfield cruise ship, and he will become the captain who can't leave for a moment!

Yang Du is full of confidence in the future. China is bound to change after the restoration, and the government is also willing to keep up with the world trend and implement the constitutional government. If he can become a member of this force, he will definitely be left and right, and everything will be smooth, coupled with his solid old learning and this force as a rare West. Learn, then it will soon stand out and emerge.

At the same time, this road is also a stable road that can make the country strong. The country is strong, the people can enjoy the rights and interests, and stand in the forest of the world's powerful countries. He thought that he was standing in the bow of the boat and blowing the sea breeze. Yang Du's heart could not calm down for a long time. He looked at the sunrise between the sea and the sky, and the red sunrise that pierced the sky. Looking at the red sea, he muttered a word in his heart.

"The land has already been dyed red. I hope it will never be stained with blood again!"

Thinking of Yang Du clenching his fist, he knew what it meant to go to London. It was an opportunity and also a risk. At this time, what he thought was not the wife who knew right and wrong, but the government of Nanjing. Will the administration understand him? Thinking of this, Yang Du's original excited mood suddenly calmed down, and even his heart hung up again.

"I wish I could rule him..."

In the Nanjing ruling axe, Chen Moran and Sun Yat-sen, who had not slept all night, were still silent. The two talked for a whole night. At the most critical moment, Sun Yat-sen was silent, and the silence lasted for nearly an hour. In an hour, neither of them spoke, a snow After smoking the eggplant, Chen Moran will change into one. After drinking the tea, he will pour another cup.

Cigar cigarettes, tea, in an hour and a half, in this study, the two just repeated the same action. No one broke the silence first. Chen Moran knew what he wanted Sun Yat-sen to give up. He was not in a hurry. He could wait. If he waited for the answer, even if the sun came out, there was It doesn't matter.

"Ruling, before I promise you, you can tell me, if...if he said..."

Finally, Sun Yat-sen broke the previous silence. He looked at the governance of smoking cigars and tasting tea in front of him. He knew that maybe this was the rule of the government who was far younger than himself. He tried and worked hard for the last time. Just as he said, he sought common people and reserving differences. The ultimate purpose of the two was just to build a "human being a human being". The country of

"The people decide to be emperor, and you swear to practice the constitution!"

Looking at the look in Sun Yat-sen's eyes, Chen Moran couldn't help but tremble. In his eyes, Chen Moran did not see the cunning of speculators, but only calm and sincere eyes. In the ashtray where the left hand wrhes out the cigar.

"Mr. Zhongshan, although I can't fully accept your theory of saving the country, it is self-contained, complete and detailed, which makes me admire it. The establishment of a constitution is caused by the power of the country! Do it silently!"

At this time, Chen Moran did not call him to be in power as before, and his tone was a little humble.

"After the constitution is established, what a powerful country!"

Sun Yat-sen asked, while Chen Moran opened his mouth and signed.

"My idea is not mature, messy and unruly. Please don't hesitate to give me advice when I say it."

His humility only made Sun Yat-sen smile. He was immature and realized the great cause of restoration, and he was mature... Several people in China dare to say that the theory of insight is far better than that of Mr. Cane.

"Yes, you are so polite. People call me Sun Cannon. What is a cannon? That is to say, my surname is as straight as a cannon barrel, and I will never beat around the bush. When arguing with people, it is as full of gunpowder as cannons. Don't worry, if I think there is something wrong, I will say it immediately. At that time, I can only ask you to forgive me and don't mean my straightforward and hot temper.

"Good! What I like is your temper!"

Chen Moran smiled, leaned forward, and leaned his chest against the short edge, and said his theory.

"In my opinion, if you want to be a powerful country, it is nothing more than it!"

His fingers pointed to the small tricolor flag on the table, which was Sun Yat-sen's stunned, which showed that he did not understand the reason why Sun Moran pointed to the "middle flag".

"The blue system is the blue sky, the yellow system is the descendants of Yanhuang, and the red metaphor is the place where China has been stained with blood, which means that we are the descendants of Yan and Huang have a bright blue sky on our heads, and our feet step on the blood-stained land. The three colors are multiplied by black, and the series is added red, which means that our descendants of Yanhuang have the spirit of iron and blood in our hearts, three colors In addition to white, it is added to blue, which means that the descendants of Yan and Huang should be innocent! Almost everyone knows the meaning, but..."

When he slowly said the metaphor of the "Chinese flag", Chen Moran looked at the small tricolor flag, which he designed himself.

"Actually, this flag has another meaning!"

"Another meaning?"

"Blue is freedom, yellow is gold, and red is iron and blood. This three-color is the way to strengthen the country!"

He casually took off the small tricolor flag from the flag rack, and Chen Muran pointed to the tricolor flag and continued.

"My so-called yellow is gold, that is, economy, and red is iron and blood, that is, military. The two can be said to be complementary and indispensable. If there is no explanation, it is easy to misunderstand. I will draw a brief table to explain first.

With that, Chen Moran removed the cups and saucers on the table.

"The freedom of blue is guaranteed by the iron blood of gold and red. The economy and military are all the guarantees of freedom! Whether it is an economic power or a military power, it has both internal and external content.

With that, Chen Moran dipped his fingers in tea and drew a table on the short table:

I. First, the internal - the rich people - the industry and commerce of the country - the expansion of the civil rights - the educated people - the free people, the external - the strong country - the military establishment of the country - the consolidation of the national power - the political axe of responsibility - the political axe of the nation, and then Chen Moran explained it in detail according to the chart.

"The country is divided into two major causes: internal causes and external edges. The internal cause is the evolution and change of the internal structure and the mechanism of all political axes. The outer edge, its diplomacy and the influence of diplomacy. In the future, China will be rich for the people internally and strong for the outside world. What do you rely on to enrich the people? It depends on the development of industry and commerce. What do you rely on to strengthen the country? Rely on the strength of the military. This is the meaning of industrial and commercial establishment and military establishment. To make the people's economy develop, it is necessary to have the security of the people's lives and property. If citizens are always worried that their lives and property will be threatened, there is no possibility of economic development. European and American countries can be used as examples. If the civil rights of the United States are the most developed, the economy is corresponding to be the highest in the world. Britain is second, so the economy is inferior to the United States. Russia has no civil rights, so its economy is also sluggish. Once a big country in the world, except for Russia, it was the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty was worse than Russia. The Russian political axe is comparable to the robber of the open fire, and the full Qing Dynasty is comparable to the sneaky thief.

"The metaphor is very vivid."

Sun Yat-sen interrupted with a smile.

"For some kind of saying, the Qing Dynasty claims that it has not been given to the people for more than 200 years. In fact, there are a lot of taxes for the purpose of cleverly establishing a name. This is the trick of thieves."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Sun Yat-sen nodded in agreement.

"The former Ming Dynasty still knew that "the emperor guards the country and the king guard the society", but the Qing Dynasty only knew that he collected taxes and did not know how to protect people's lives and property. In this way, how can the economy be developed? Therefore, civil rights must be expanded. Externally, it is necessary to consolidate national power in order to stand on an equal footing among all countries in the world. And when it is full of Qing, I don't know what the national power is. In internal affairs, I am interfered with everywhere without knowing anger, and I don't know how to refuse. If an official is placed somewhere, and it is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere, then it will not be released. If you resign from an outsider somewhere, if an outsider says he can't leave, he won't leave. There are too many such things. From the view of the Qing Dynasty, what he sold is for the benefit of China. If you are not the king of China, and the dynasty is not the dynasty of China, how can he care about the interests of China?

When he said this, Chen Moran's face was full of sarcasm.

"Within the political axe of the nation, there is no possibility of consolidating the national power. Therefore, consolidating the national power is the first priority for the national political axe. The people should have power, and first of all, the people should have freedom. In a country ruled by alien colonization, the people have no freedom. In a constitutional nation, the people have their freedom under the premise of abiding by the law. A political axe with state power must be a responsible political axe. There are many ills in the Qing Dynasty, and the root cause of all ills is irresponsibility. How can the colonists bear China's responsibility?

Sun Yat-sen stared at the short table and slowly frowned. Chen Moran ignored the change of Sun Yat-sen's expression, and his voice became more and more powerful.

"Now if you want to be rich and strong in China, you can only take this road, that is, from the back of my brief table to the front."

Chen Moran stretched out his right index finger and pushed it step by step on the table.

"First establish a national political axe, build a responsible political axe, and give the people the most basic freedom. The gradual expansion of civil rights depends on the success of education. If education is successful, the civil rights will be achieved! Large-scale industry and commerce, industry and commerce, wide tax revenue, there is a military power, free citizens, developed industry and commerce, and finally a strong military. In the end, the state power can be gradually consolidated in this process. The goal of enriching the country and strengthening the people will naturally be realized.

Chen Moran, who raised his head, looked at Sun Yat-sen and saw that he was still staring at the brief table, so he emphasized it again.

"Human society has to go through three stages of evolution, that is, from barbarian society to patriarchal society and from patriarchal society to military society. There is no doctrine in the barbarian society, the patriarchal society is nationalism, and the military society is nationalism. This development process is very ancient and modern, no matter which country it is. Today, all Western powers have entered the military society from the patriarchal society.

Chen Moran squinted his eyes. In his own era, the world said how wrong militarism was, but at this time, except for the United States, almost all powerful countries took militarism as the foundation of the country.

"Our China, from a patriarchal society to a military society, has been more than 2,000 years since the destruction of the feudal system, but it does not have the complete military system of a Western power. Our people now have nationalism without nationalism, in order to educate the people with nationalism, shape the country's point of view, and supplement it with the military state, and then it is possible for nationalism to be compatible with the military state.

Finally, Chen Moran took out the palm-sized tricolor flag from the flag stand and put it on the table.

"Mr. Zhongshan, you see, iron blood is the foundation of a strong country. There is no strong military. Developed industry and commerce and free citizens are all empty talk!"

Chen Moran deliberately aggravated the last sentence and turned it over at the same time.

"In turn, blue foundation, no free citizens, and how can there be a developed industry and a powerful military? The strength of the army lies in the fact that the army knows why it is fighting. The development of industry and commerce lies in the support of the people, but in this process, for us, this is the most important thing!"

Turned the flag over and replaced it with the tricolor flag with red as the base yellow as the middle blue.

"Only today's plan needs to be to build a strong army, in order to defend the national rights. Only when the national power is obtained, there is the possibility of industrial prosperity. Only by casting a strong army internally, safeguarding national rights externally, thriving industry, and large-scale education can we finally become a free citizen!"

After a moment of pause, Chen Moran stared at Sun Yat-sen, who was silent, and then said.

"The biggest difference between you and me is the imperial system or the republic. At the root, I choose to believe that the most ordinary people will decide the future, and you choose to believe that the elite will decide the future! This problem is mostly an argument between scholars, not to mention that the key to saving China is not the imperial system or the republic. If the constitution can be established, the monarch can be established, and it can be cooked in the Ming Dynasty. There are those in the world who are superior to the constitution, such as the ratio of Britain to France, and those who are superior to the constitutional monarchy, such as the ratio of beauty to virtue. There is a difference between a complete constitution and an incomplete one. If it is thorough, the country will be strong; if it is not thorough, the country will be weak. For example, Britain and Germany are both constitutional monarchies, Britain is stronger than Germany, the United States and France are both constitutional, and the United States is stronger than the law. The reason is that the constitutions of the United Kingdom and the United States are thorough, and the constitutions of Germany and France are not thorough enough.

When Sun Yat-sen opened his mouth to speak, Chen Moran continued to speak.

"Of course, this is only one side. Let's turn it in turn. Compared with Britain and Germany, Britain has been completely constitutional for hundreds of years, and it has been the world's most powerful country. Germany has not completely established a constitution for only decades, but it has first achieved national unity, defeated France, and became the world's first-class power. Recently, it has been a military challenge to Britain. Potential! Looking at the book, the constitution is not complete. In just 30 years, it has become a strong country. It is good to establish a constitution. However, for weak countries, the incomplete constitution is complementary to each other and can improve efficiency. The implementation of the decision with the will of the country can achieve the purpose of rapidly strengthening the country. This is also the same way as Mr. Zhongshan's training in politics. Same!"

Sun Yat-sen nodded with deep understanding. He knew that Chen Moran was telling the truth.

"So I think that the constitution as a political body and [***] are the essence of the country. As for the republic or monarch as a state body, it is just a form of the state, and there is no difference in essence."

Chen Moran's words were reasonable, and Sun Yat-sen's tone calmed down.

"European and American countries do have both Mingzhu and monarchies, and they have also built their countries."

This is a fact that Sun Yat-sen had to admit from two months ago until now. In the past, he firmly opposed the establishment of a constitution. In his opinion, China is different. China cannot take the road of a constitutional monarchy. Not to mention that Cixi and Guangxu are tyrants, even if there are capable people like Kangxi and Qianlong, they can't do it again. Yes. The most fundamental reason for this is that the Han people have understood that they can no longer bow down to the Manchu people. When the Manchu people rule the world again, the Han people are not convinced, and they all think it is a disgrace to the nation. Can we still talk about constitutionalism in this mood? Of course not!

But what about now?

Perhaps after sitting for too long, Chen Moran felt that his legs were numb and even his buttocks were a little sore. He stood up from the chair, and Sun Yat-sen also stood up. Both of them left the coffee table and walked slowly towards the ruling axe garden. While walking along the loggia, Chen Moran continued, "Mr. Zhongshan talks about the facts, and I also talk about the facts. From the current facts, China can't cook without a monarch. If it makes a constitution, there will be some difficulties that can't be solved at the moment!"

At this time, looking at the slightly white sky, Chen Moran noticed that he had talked with Sun Yat-sen all night.

"Xiang Shuai once mentioned to me that if there is a republic, the five ethnic groups are equal, the senators are elected together, and the president is elected together, it seems perfect, but in fact, the Chinese people have a "can replace" presidential term of only five years, ten years, but what about ten years later? But in the republic, what the domestic elites are plotting is nothing more than the presidency. Who has the heart to use it to strengthen the country and rejuvenate the country?

Seeing that Sun Yat-sen wanted to refute, Chen Moran interrupted him rudely.

"Mr. Zhongshan, I don't doubt that your world is public, but there are so many ordinary people in this world. Can Mr. Zhongshan protect others from being selfless?"

Sun Yat-sen, who originally wanted to refute Chen Moran, was speechless. He had a heart that could replace him in ancient times, and everyone had it.

"Acker, the Chinese people only know that the emperor has been for two thousand years. With the change of the president today and the Ming Dynasty, how can the Chinese people calmly admit it? The heart of the national sage has been two thousand years! The emperor is not here, and he regards the president as the emperor, but what about the president's step down? The most of those who agree with the imperial system believe that the existence of the emperor makes the Chinese people feel at ease. No matter how the ruling party changes after the establishment of the constitution, at least there is an emperor representing the country. If the president does not step down, there will be no emotional sustenance. The prime minister has step down, and the emperor is there. With the spiritual power that can unite people's hearts, the country will not fall apart and people's hearts will not be scattered!"

Taking a deep breath of cigarette, Chen Moran continued to speak down when Sun Yat-sen was meditating.

"Or he has a conflict with the president in the country of Congress. The Congress wants to exempt the president, and the president wants to break up the Congress! For example, in the civil war between the Argentine "parliamentary army" and the "presidential army" more than a decade ago, there was no arbitration between the president and the parliament, and the boundary was only afraid that it would be a repeat of Argentina's disaster, and the civil war was bound to be tragic and long-term. The Chinese people have been extremely poor. Can they still be devastated by the chaos of war? The foreign powers have always looked at our country and always want to divide up this fat meat and turn it into their colony. Once China is in civil strife, it has no external resistance and can only watch their ambitions come true. As the old saying goes, squirfish and clams compete for fishermen to gain benefits, and today's situation is exactly like this. Those who seek the interests of China can't do without this vision!"

As soon as Chen Moran stopped, Sun Yat-sen stopped walking and looked at the government in front of him.

"That's the opinion of governance!"

Listening to his words, Chen Moran shook his head.

"It's not my opinion, but everyone in the world! When I was in England, I observed the British political body. When the struggle of different interest groups appeared in Britain, it was mainly partisan. The representative parties of all interest groups are red-faced in order to achieve their power rule. Sometimes these conflicts are relatively moderate, but more often, these conflicts are extremely fierce. At this time, it is necessary to adjust a reading individual with authority without political connection. The only one who is competent for this task is the British king. This role of peacemakers can help the country's political system to resume work and avoid the instability caused by political struggles as much as possible, that is to say, "the monarchy is a valuable buffer."

When saying this, Chen Moran was a little disdainful. After all, this decoration was not what he pursued, not to mention that even those who threatened to establish a constitution in the future, even if the parties could not fight with each other, the supreme power of the country was at least safely protected by the emperor in form. To a certain extent, the imperial system is the umbrella of the country and the political axe, ensuring that it can exercise power at any time. But I dare not say that the emperor is a decoration and a symbol of the country.

"Moreover, he said that if the country recovers, China will return to the forest of powerful countries and expand its power to the outside world!"

"External expansion?"

Sun Yat-sen couldn't help but be shocked and looked at Chen Moran with some surprise. From the future, he thought that he had the heart to expand the territory in this ruling heart.

"This is the necessity of national development. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has lost too many things that belong to China. China has been in charge of East Asia for thousands of years. What we once had and lost by the Qing Dynasty will one day be taken back. The territory we lost, the lost vassal states, Korea, Ryukyu, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cham, Nepal, and even In Japan, their reading ability has become inevitable, but at least we should restore the status of China as the center of Asia, and at least use a Chinese federation to soothe the pain of losing the thousand-year empire! Therefore, the existence of the royal family can exert the cohesion of the Federation! Asia is not only the Asian of Asians, but also the Asian of Chinese people!"

Chen Moran turned around and looked at Sun Yat-sen with a surprised face, with a heroic look on his face.

"Someone once asked me when to be a strong country. What I want to say is that the glory of China is a powerful country! Mr. Zhongshan!"

Looking directly at the thoughtful Sun Yat-sen, Chen Moran aggravated his tone.

"Last night, I discussed state affairs with Mr. Zhongshan. Although there are differences, I believe in it and cannot be changed. Now I make an appointment with you: He says that the people will decide the imperial system, and I will make a constitutional monarchy, and I will work hard to realize the realization of China's powerful country. If so, may you help me. Sir, I call for the Republic. If the people decide on the Republic, I will abandon my own ideas and wholeheartedly shine on the land of China with the wind of republic!"

At this time, Sun Yat-sen was moved by Chen Moran's open and aboveboardness, and was also impressed by his ambition. He said earnestly to Chen Moran's eyes.

"In power, although you and I have not seen each other, we talked freely last night for the rest of our lives, and it was not too much at this time. The governance is great, the abyss is the sound of thousands of mountains, the waves are like a thousand hectares, the language is sincere, and the spirit is magnificent. I look at the talents all over the world, and there is no one on the right of the gentleman. As for China's establishment of civil rights to develop people's livelihood, and to become a new country with a strong country and rich people, I am no different from you. Different people are just choosing the path to achieve this goal. Qu Yuan said that there is a long way to go, and I will search up and down. China's road to prosperity is allowed to search. I admire you very much for your frank attitude just now. As the rule says, if the people decide the imperial system, the rule is to establish a constitution, and the text should do its best to help it. If the people decide to be republican, the rule should also..."

"I also abandon my own ideas and wholeheartedly shine on the land of China with the wind of republic!"

Seeing that he had convinced Sun Yat-sen in front of him, Chen Moran, who was in a good mood, said with a smile.

"Now I suggest that we should keep in mind the oath of helping each other for you and me, and we will give a high-five!"

"Bang!"

The right palms of the two touched each other heavily, and a crisp applause sounded between the pavilions in the garden. When the two smiled and looked at each other, the sun waving on the two people, and the morning sun reflected their smiles. It seemed that the haze shrouded over the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains at this moment dispersed in an instant.

(to be continued)
