Chapter 583: Hubei Province Expresses Its Position

After the two sides agreed on the date, the Jiangbei side selected negotiators, Wang Yongan and Zhang Jian became the best candidates for the negotiations, and the Nanjing side negotiators were Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, both sides needed the support of the other side, so this negotiation was very important for both sides.

Nanjing, on the other hand, did not have some concerns about this negotiation, fearing that Jiangbei would attack Sun and Huang and stifle the revolution. However, Sun Yat-sen insisted on going to the negotiations, believing that this negotiation would change the fate of the revolutionary government in the south, and since Nanjing had a navy, while Jiangbei did not have a navy, it was impossible for Jiangbei to do something to Sun and Huang in Pukou.

After dealing with some miscellaneous matters, both sides prepared to go to Pukou, and Wang Yongan and Zhang Jian went by boat.

The two had great sincerity in this meeting, but Zhang Jian pointed out that Sun Yat-sen was often subject to other party members, and it was very likely that he would not make too many concessions, even if he made verbal promises, but to make concessions, others had to support them. The infighting of the revolutionary government in the south was too severe, which would lead to ineffective negotiations between the two sides.

Wang Yongan also agreed: "Others say that he is Sun Dacang, that is, he is open-mouthed, but I know him, Mr. Sun's wish is beautiful, but it is not implemented but not succeeded." The southern government is different from our Jiangbei and Beiyang in that we have a strong central core to carry out tasks around the country, while the southern government is a loose organization, and so far there are only two and a half provinces in the southern revolutionary government, and the other provinces are waiting and seeing. ”

Although the two men had great hopes, they did not have much confidence in the outcome due to the composition of the southern government, which also affected their mood for this negotiation.

However, after arriving in Pukou, Wang Yongan and Zhang Jian suddenly received a national telegram from Wuhan, and Li Yuanhong, the governor of Hubei Province, and Li Liejun, commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the five provinces, jointly sent a telegram to support the republic, and indicated that the allied forces of the five provinces were willing to join the future national defense force to unite the strength of the whole country and jointly resist foreign humiliation.

Wang Yongan and Zhang Jian looked at each other, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Li Yuanhong's gourd, why Li Liejun changed his attitude all of a sudden, but on the whole, Wuhan is one step ahead of Nanjing, but it has taken the lead in the future government. However, the Wuhan electrification disrupted the pace of negotiations of the southern revolutionary government, and after Jiangbei, the Wuhan government, which represented the interests of the southwest, also supported the republic, and Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others had to give up a lot of power that they had fought so hard for, and arrived at Pukou by boat in a hurry, and started a dialogue with Wang Yongan.

Seeing Sun Yat-sen again, Wang Yongan was very happy, and called his eldest brother again and again, Sun Yat-sen couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't expect that the virtuous brother could earn such glory for the people, and I am very happy for my brother." Jingyun, this is Huang Xing and Huang Keqiang. Keqiang, this is Wang Yongan Wang Jingyun. ”

Wang Yongan hurriedly shook hands with Huang Xing and said: "I have admired Commander Huang's name for a long time, it is really better to see it than to hear it, this is the champion of the Qing Dynasty, and now Zhang Jian, the governor of Jiangbei." ”

"I have admired Zhang Gong for a long time, and I have admired Zhang Gong for a long time." Sun Yixian and Huang Xing hurriedly said respectfully.

Wang Yongan motioned for the people around him to stand down, indicating and signaling not to make a record, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing glanced at each other, nodded and let their subordinates leave. Only Wang, Zhang, Sun and Huang were left here, and Wang Yongan said: "There is no one within 50 meters around, so we can negotiate openly and honestly with China this time, Zhongshan Gong, what are your plans?" ”

Sun Yat-sen said: "Since we want to be open and honest, then I will say my thoughts directly, I hope that the future central government is not Yuan Shikai's word, the future central government will implement the cabinet prime minister system, and he Yuan Shikai wants to be a big president, and he needs to compete to be a big president." ”

Wang Yongan said: "You and I both know that in the future, China can only be the president by Yuan Shikai, and the so-called election is just a matter of the representatives of the provinces sitting down and expressing their positions." If the provincial representatives can decide what the country needs, what else is needed for the army, what is still needed for the state, and foreigners come, the provincial representatives will talk about it. Strength represents everything, and only with strength can there be a negotiating position. ”

Huang Xing said: "We are not afraid of him Yuan Shikai. ”

Zhang Jian retorted: "But you are afraid of losing the hearts of the people, and now it is Yuan Shikai who is actively unifying and establishing a republican system in China, and it is you who are obstructing the reunification of the country." ”

Sun Yat-sen shook his head and said: "No, we don't want blind reunification, what we want is a reunification for future generations to enjoy democracy forever." ”

Wang Yongan immediately said: "If China is occupied by Japan and Japan realizes democracy in China, will you accept it too?" Japanese rule China is also a democratic China, can you accept it? ”

"Of course not." Huang Xing immediately said, "China is the China of the Chinese, not the Japanese." ”

"But now that China is facing the danger of national extinction, you are again using the fear of future undemocracy as an excuse to obstruct reunification." Zhang Jian said.

Wang Yongan waved his hand to stop Zhang Jian's condemnation and said: "In the final analysis, you are worried that Yuan Shikai will retaliate anytime and anywhere, that he has too much power, and even that he will become emperor after he has too much power, right?" ”

Sun Huang and the others nodded, and Wang Yongan said: "So what curbs Yuan Shikai is not in the government, but outside." ”

"Outside?" Huang Xing was surprised.

Sun Yat-sen asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Wang Yongan said: "If Yuan Shikai wants to be the emperor, he must have the support of the army, do you think the Beiyang Army will support him to be the emperor?" Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Cao Kun, who will support him as emperor? If Yuan Shikai is proclaimed emperor, I am afraid that his subordinates will be the first to jump out to oppose it, and our Jiangbei Army will also be the first to raise the banner in their hands and go on another northern expedition. Now the Beiyang Army is loyal to Yuan Shikai because the Beiyang Army thinks that they are promoting national unification, and your revolutionary army is the ghost of a divided country. ”

Sun Yat-sen slapped the table and said angrily: "Who is the charm and who is the mainstay of history, history will have its own judgment after a hundred years." I, Sun Yat-sen, will never do anything to split the country! Huang Xing had never seen Sun Yat-sen lose his temper like this, but he didn't expect Wang Yongan's words to anger Mr. Sun so much.

"Mr. Sun, don't get excited." Zhang Jian also hurriedly persuaded.

Wang Yongan didn't care about Sun Yat-sen's anger, he stared at Sun Yat-sen's eyes, and shook his head lightly, Sun Yat-sen was angry and didn't know whether he was deliberately or really angered by his own words, if he was really angered by himself, it means that he is really not suitable to be a politician, because his skin is not thick enough, and his psychological tolerance is not strong enough. In the same way, if Yuan Shikai listened, he would only laugh and even feign anger and make a request.

Mr. Sun is an idealist.
