Chapter 33 The Presidential Palace in Nanjing

When Li Ming was negotiating with Tsarist Russia in the north, the Southern League and the Youth Gang elected Sun Wen as the president of Nanjing, and the China League, also known as the China Revolutionary League, was a unified national bourgeois revolutionary party led and organized by Sun Yat-sen in the last years of the Qing Dynasty in China.

On August 20, 1905, the China League held its inaugural meeting in Tokyo, attended by about 100 people, except for Gansu, which had not yet sent students to study in Japan, and people from all 17 provinces in the other provinces attended. The congress adopted the "Declaration of the Alliance" and the "Declaration of the Alliance" drafted by Sun Yat-sen and the constitution drafted by Huang Xing. The constitution adopted by the General Assembly stipulates that Tokyo is the headquarters of the headquarters, and the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister are divided into three departments: Execution, Deliberation, and Justice. It has set up 9 branches at home and abroad (5 branches in the east, west, south, north and middle in China, and 4 branches in Nanyang, Europe, America and Honolulu abroad), and established branches in various provinces and regions. At the meeting, Sun Yat-sen was elected as the prime minister, and Huang Xing was appointed as the chief of the executive department to assist the prime minister in presiding over the work of the headquarters. The congress also approved the use of the magazine "Twentieth Century China" as the organ newspaper of the League, which was later renamed "Minbao".

The China League played an important role in the Xinhai Revolution, which overthrew the Qing Dynasty and ended China's feudal monarchy for more than 2,000 years, and established the Republic of China, the first bourgeois republic in Chinese history.

In July 1905, under the guidance of Ryohei Uchida, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Sun Yat-sen returned to Tokyo, Japan, and advocated the preparation for the establishment of the China Alliance.

On August 20, 1905, in the tatami room on the second floor of the house provided by Toyama Man, Akasaka District, Tokyo, the Chinese Revolutionary League was established (the China League was formed by the merger of the Xingzhong Society, the Huaxing Society, and the Guangfu Society), Sun Yat-sen was elected as the prime minister, and Huang Xing and others served as the general affairs; In addition to formulating documents such as the "Military Declaration", the "General Constitution of the China League" and the "Revolutionary Strategy", it also decided to establish branches and branches at home and abroad, liaise with overseas Chinese, the Party and the New Army, and become a national revolutionary organization. [2] Its organ publication is Minbao. Sun Yat-sen is his prime minister and Huang Xing is vice premier. At the meeting, the "Declaration of the China Alliance" drafted by Sun Yat-sen, the "Declaration of the China Alliance to the Outside World" and the constitution drafted by Huang Xing and others were adopted. There were 30 articles in the constitution, which were later amended to become 24 articles. On the same day, the main cadres of the headquarters were also elected. Sun Yat-sen was unanimously elected Prime Minister of the Chinese League. Huang Xing was promoted to be in charge of the general affairs of the executive department. The headquarters of the China League is located in Tokyo, Japan.

The China League confirmed that its political platform was Sun Yat-sen's 16-character program of "expelling the Tartars, restoring China, establishing the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights", which was later interpreted as the doctrine of the Three People's Principles; Issued "Minbao" as an organ publication (formerly known as "Twentieth Century Zhina", which was an organ publication of the Huaxing Society, and was renamed "Minbao" after the establishment of the League). Under the editor-in-chief of Zhang Binglin and Tao Chengzhang, and written by Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei, Minbao waged a fierce debate with Xinmin Cong Bao, which was written by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, which advocated royalism, and became an important position of revolutionary thought.

The predecessor of the China Alliance was the Hunan Huaxing Association (Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Chen Tianhua, etc.) and the Guangdong Xingzhong Association (Sun Yat-sen, Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, etc.). Following the Xingzhong Society, bourgeois revolutionary groups appeared one after another all over the country, mainly the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Guangfu Association (Tao Chengzhang, Zhang Binglin, Cai Yuanpei, Qiu Jin, etc.), scientific tutorial schools and other organizations.

The China League split in 1907. Sun Yat-sen left Japan because he received funding from Japan without public opinion, which led to the withdrawal of the Liberation Society. Sun Yat-sen, Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin are equal to Nanyang to form another headquarters; Huang Xing, on the other hand, continued to support Sun Yat-sen.

Among them, the Pingliuli Uprising in 1906 was the first large-scale armed uprising launched after the establishment of the China League, and it was the largest anti-Qing revolutionary struggle that broke out in southern China after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, sacrificing more than 10,000 soldiers and their relatives. Most of the participants and victims of the Huanghuagang Uprising were key members of the Alliance.
