Chapter 25: Deep Talk
In Yang Zhenhong's room, the two of them were discussing from the bottom of their hearts. One of the www.biquge.info is of course Xiao Mubai, and the other is Yang Zhenhong, who has been in the joint defense team for more than half a year.
While studying in Japan, Yang Zhenhong witnessed the strength of the industries of the great powers, and thought of the poverty and backwardness of his motherland, and his heart was distressed. So he joined the League led by Sun Yat-sen and devoted himself to the armed overthrow of Manchu rule. When the uprising failed and he fled through the territory of Zhulin Town, he was very puzzled when he saw the prosperous factories in this area, and he wondered when so many factories appeared on the border of Yunnan. Later, when he learned that all this was presided over by Xiao Mubai behind the scenes, he was even more shocked.
"Mu Bai, I deeply agree with you for diving into the development of industry, but I am a little dissatisfied with your ignorance of current affairs"
"Hehe, how do you know I'm ignoring me?"
"Now that the Manchu court has lost its power and humiliated the country, worshipping the foreign and flattering the foreigners, and the country has fallen to this, how can the men of my generation ignore it? Zicheng concentrates on this, won't he waste a good year with this? Yang Zhenhong said excitedly.
Seeing Xiao Mubai looking at him indifferently, he calmed down and continued
"Does Mu Bai know Mr. Sun?"
"Mr. Sun, is that Mr. Sun, the leader of the revolutionary party?"
"That's right! It was Mr. Sun, I had listened to Mr. Sun's speech overseas, and I was so moved by it that I even donated my savings for more than a year. I think Mu Bai you should also join us and launch an armed uprising to overthrow the Manchu tyranny. ”
“…………”
"What do you mean?"
"And then?" Looking at the impassioned young revolutionary in front of him, Xiao Mubai sighed
"Then, of course, the republic of the whole people and the establishment of the Republic of China," Yang Zhenhong replied dumbfounded, he couldn't understand why he asked such a question
Looking at this excited young man, Xiao Mubai sighed with emotion, the Chinese nation is not short of enthusiastic young people at any time, and whenever the nation is in danger, the first to awaken are always those young people with high morale. But Yang Zhenhong, who died early in history, did not see China that was divided after Xinhai and warlords were fighting, otherwise I don't know how he would feel. Although Yang Zhenhong didn't know all this, Xiao Mubai, who was a traverser, couldn't ignore all this. Relying on today's alliance, a group of people whose verbal expression skills are far higher than their executive abilities in their hands, Xiao Mubai has never had any expectations from them. The chaos of the domestic political situation after the founding of the Republic of China and the subsequent warlord melee are absolutely indispensable to the contribution of the League.
Shook his head. Xiao Mubai said seriously, "Qiu Fan, please believe that for this lovely motherland, my love is no less than yours." ”
Hearing Xiao Mubai's words, Yang Zhenhong lowered his head and was stunned for a while, he was obviously touched, he could hear Xiao Mubai's enthusiasm for the motherland from this simple sentence.
"Qiu Fan, you are also studying military affairs, I think you can understand that everything is delusional without strength. Military uprisings often have a lot to consider, and all aspects have to be calculated, such as ordnance and ammunition, soldier supplies, and so on. Looking at the uprising of the League, all of them rose in a hurry, the soldiers were not refined, the food was insufficient, the guns were lacking and the ammunition was short, and every time it was a waste of limited manpower and funds. It's not that I look down on the princes of the League, relying on them to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse. ”
"Zicheng, you should see it. At least they did, and their blood was sprinkled all over this lovely motherland. Seeing the sneer on the corner of Xiao Mubai's mouth, Yang Zhenhong retorted fiercely
"I have never denied the enthusiasm of the princes of the League, but the revolution does not only need one blood, it is not possible to succeed by firing two shots and throwing two bombs, and dozens of people dare to carry out an armed uprising in a big city, where is the millions of Manchu troops? In my opinion, it's simply a brain-dead act. ”
"The Manchu government was rotten and incompetent, and the army was like a chicken." Although I don't know what brain-dead means, listening to Xiao Mubai's tone, it will definitely not be a good word.
"In that case, how come you have never succeeded?"
Hearing Xiao Mubai's rhetorical question, Yang Zhenhong was suddenly choked and speechless, whoever made the family say the truth, although he wanted to refute, but he really didn't know what to say for a while.
"When I was studying military affairs in Germany, I knew the power of the imperialist powers, and when I looked back at China, I was struggling under the Manchu government. The dignified kingdom of China has fallen to the point it is now. I have also lamented his misfortune and been angry with him, but more often than not, I have despair, despair of the rotten Manchu regime. You revolutionaries keep saying that you want to establish a new republic, but if you establish a republic, will China immediately become rich and strong? Will the imperialist powers respect China's sovereignty? I'll tell you, no" Looking at the silent Yang Zhenhong, Xiao Mubai knew that he had made him doubt and contradict his thoughts, so he threw out a bigger theory to persuade Yang Zhenhong.
"I know that you are a revolutionary party, and you want a republic for the whole people, establish a republic, and believe in democracy and freedom. However, have you ever thought that in this almost universal illiteracy China, how many people like you have gone to a new-style school and stayed abroad, can those democratic and equal things be realized? The answer is no. You go to the countryside and ask the peasants who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, do they know what a republic is and what democracy is? The answer is no. They only care about their three meals a day, and they only care about whether they can eat enough every day. ”
"In today's China, only a truly strong central government, using guns and artillery to silence and obey doubtful people, can China be held together and truly have the energy to do things that enrich the people and strengthen the country. As for the Westerners' mouth, 'I don't agree with your views, but I will defend your right to speak to the death,' this situation still cannot exist in Chinese society for the first time. The democracy of Westerners is based on the democracy that is carried out after they have done their work, and we Chinese are too shrewd, and more people want to use democracy to be lazy and profit for themselves. No! It's not that you don't want it, but you can't ask for it! Absolutely not! ”
"That's right! There is no government out of the barrel of a gun, there is no strong government, there is no government with strong violent institutions as the backing,"
“………… I have reservations. Yang Zhenhong knew that his heart was shaken, but he couldn't let go of the insistence in his heart for a while, and he had to admit that what Xiao Mubai said made sense.
"It doesn't matter, at least we have reached a consensus on some aspects, Qiu Fan, you can help me, I need your help. Although you do not understand and disagree with my military affairs, I believe that at least you agree with and approve of my approach to the common people. At least, we can also do some facts for the people of this land, and as for the road ahead, we can slowly witness it in our exploration. ”
