Chapter 243: Death or Freedom
On August 15, 1913, at the end of the summer of Tokyo, there was a two-story wooden building on the 27th of Reinnasaka-cho, Akasaka District, with a wooden sign hanging at the door, which read Umizuma Pig Nan Yan House, and a large mansion next to it, in which lived the spiritual leader of the Black Dragon Society, Touyamamitsu, in this two-story building, there was a fierce quarrel.
"Sir, I can't agree with your proposition, if you don't agree to the reshuffle, you will be expelled from the party. The Kuomintang is a group of people with the same political views, and the expulsion of party members is subject to the procedure stipulated in the party program. The failure of the second revolution was due to the fact that we were not prepared, it was a hasty revolution, so it did not succeed, and the main reason for the failure of the revolution was that the disparity in strength between the enemy and the enemy was too great. We should accumulate strength in order to make another move instead of hastily launching the three revolutions, still less should we do anything to reorganize the Kuomintang at this time! Huang Xing was wearing a kimono, and his face was full of regret.
Sun Wen roared angrily: "Keqiang, you are still confused!" The Kuomintang is a large party of several hundred thousand people, but now it is divided. The Kuomintang members in the Senate and the House of Representatives accounted for the majority, but they all sat on Yuan Shikai's side! There are more than 10 provincial governors in the country who are members of the Kuomintang, but how many people participated in the 'second revolution'? We oppose Yuan Shikai's 'big loan for the aftermath', but even Zhang Fenghui, the governor of Shaanxi, Yan Xishan of Shanxi, and Chai Dongliang, the Jianghuai patrol envoy, all telegraphed to oppose it. Especially Zhang Fenghui and Chai Dongliang, they actually turned against us and attacked us, Chai Dongliang actually arrested Chen Qimei and wanted to be tried for treason??? Keqiang, we have revolutionized for this country for half our lives, and now we have become traitors? It's so ironic, it's so ironic!
The dignified largest party in parliament, hundreds of thousands of party members, was almost completely disintegrated by Yuan Shikai overnight, why is this? The failure of the Second Revolution, why is that? Is it just because Yuan Shikai is too powerful? No, no, Keqiang, it's not that Yuan Shikai is strong, it's that we are too loose internally. I, the leader of the party, am equal to a puppet, and hundreds of thousands of party members are scattered, so when they are in trouble, they are like passers-by??? Doesn't such a party need to be reorganized? Shouldn't those who turn a blind eye to the party's perils be expelled? ”
Sun Wen's roar echoed through the room, almost roaring with a sigh of relief.
Huang Xing was silent for a long time, stomped his feet and said: "I can't say anything about you, but you want to make the whole party loyal to you alone, I firmly disagree!" It's not just that I don't agree, the whole party won't agree! ”
Sun Wen slapped the table and roared: "If they don't agree, I will quit the Kuomintang, and I will form a truly revolutionary party again!" ”
Huang Xing glared at him without showing weakness and said, "What is a revolutionary party?" Look at what you're doing? ”
After saying this, Huang Xing held up the oath that Sun Wen had just written and shook it in front of his eyes, and then read it according to the words on it: "I am willing to sacrifice my right to life and freedom, and follow Mr. Sun to raise the revolution again??? What is attachment? Is feudal personal dependence? Or did the slave depend on the slave owner? Is this revolutionary or counter-revolutionary??? Look again at the outline you wrote: 'First of all, obedience to orders is the only element. All members of the party must ask themselves whether they are willing to obey Sun Wen alone, and they can do so without any doubts, and the whole party obeys your orders and takes your personal propositions as the purpose of the whole party, is this a revolutionary party? This is the reactionary feudal emperor! Even a feudal emperor allowed his ministers to admonish, and your will cannot be questioned? Is this a revolutionary party? This is the pope of the dark Middle Ages in Europe! You have personally regarded yourself as the leader of the sect and the Kuomintang as a cult! ”
Sun Wen was speechless for a long time, and he came over for a long time before he said slowly: "Keqiang, you must understand that the revolution must have a only noble and great leader, and then you can be able to raise it, like a body to make an arm, an arm to make a finger, and become a powerful group personality." You must also understand that the revolutionary parties cannot be leaderless or compete with each other for supremacy, but must be absolutely subordinate to the sole leader. Why should the whole party obey me? Because I was the one who overthrew [***], established a republic, and initiated it. If you leave me and talk about republicanism and cooking, it will be the opposite of the other. A truly loyal revolutionary comrade should not be subordinated to his personal opinion, and it would be a big mistake to have such an idea. In order to carry out the revolutionary aims, I must demand that my comrades obey me??? Keqiang, I'll be honest, many of you don't understand, and your knowledge is limited, so you should blindly follow me. I will definitely be responsible for my comrades and will never lead them down the road of failure. I want to end thousands of years of [***] years of rule of man with one body, and open up the grand foundation of the rule of law for hundreds of millions of years. Fourth, it is not possible for me to raise another revolution, and at the same time, it is necessary to raise another revolution, and I cannot do it unless I obey it??? I dare say that apart from me, there are no revolutionary mentors in China! ”
With a "pop" sound, Huang Xing smashed a glass: "Enough!" Follow? Are we all blind? Are all the comrades of the whole party blind? He looked at Sun Wen with a puzzled look: "You, are you really Sun Wen?" Are you still the same Sun Wen who was determined to overthrow the Manchu [***] reading talent system? You are a hundred times more [***] than the Manchu Emperor, and if you rule China, you will be a worse reader than the Manchu Emperor! ”
"Smack!" Sun Wen also broke a cup, and then saw that it was not enjoyable, and overturned the table again, he shouted: "You are not the only one who will drop the cup, I will too!" If you do not approve of the reorganization of the Kuomintang, I will [***] create a new party, and I do not believe that without you old revolutionaries, I Sun Wen will not be able to build a new revolutionary party! ”
After that, Sun Wen kicked open the door with a snort, and left without looking back, Huang Xingyu was still angry, and kicked a chair away.
After a while, Li Liejun and Bai Wenwei walked in, and the two of them smiled bitterly and said, "Kegong, what is Mr. Sun doing here?" He asked us to approve of his revision of the party program, saying that in the future, senior party cadres will no longer be elected, but will be directly appointed by the party leader. And we are required to take an oath, and the oath requires everyone to swear that if they violate the oath, they will be punished with death??? Kegong, what are you trying to do? Is this joining the party or joining the gang? We are all old members of the League, and now we want to write an oath and press our fingerprints, what is this trying to do? ”
Huang Xing snorted angrily and said: "I just quarreled with him over this, and he said that if this program cannot be passed and the Kuomintang cannot be reorganized, he will [***] build a new party!" The dignified leader of the Kuomintang actually threatened the comrades of his own party with [***], which is really a great joke in the world, sacrificing personal freedom and subordination to the party leader, which is a great shame, what kind of revolution is this? ”
Bai Wenwei said with a wry smile: "Our comrades are still insisting on fighting, He Haiming fought extremely hard in Nanjing, the Beiyang Army 20,000 people surrounded Nanjing, the comrades are fighting bloodily, and our leader actually wants to abolish the party and establish a new party, which really chills all comrades!" ”
Huang Xing snorted coldly and said: "I grew up in the countryside of Hunan, and farmers will only press their fingerprints when their families are bankrupt and sell themselves??? It's ridiculous that we revolutionaries actually do this. ”
Thinking of Sun Wen's oath, Huang Xing had nowhere to spread the fire in his belly. The content of the oath is: "In order to save China's safety and save the people's suffering, the oath is willing to sacrifice his life, freedom, and rights to obey Mr. Sun??? We sincerely swear as left: First, the implementation of the purpose. 2. Obey orders, 3. Fulfill your duties, 4. Strictly keep secrets, and 5. Swear to live and die together. If you have a bad heart, you are willing to be punished by death. ”
This is simply no different from the ceremony of joining a gangster cult! In particular, the word "subordination" was even more unacceptable to him, and the revolutionary comrades who were equal had turned into a relationship of personal dependence, equating party leaders and party members with slave owners and slaves.
"Kegong, please persuade Mr. Sun, if you really want to do this, we will not be a revolutionary party, but a group of counter-revolutionaries!" Li Liejun said with a bitter face.
Huang Xing sighed and said, "If he can hear the opinions of others, he won't be Sun Wen!" ”
Bai Wenwei suddenly had a seizure, and said like thunder: "If you really want to do this, I will [***]!" I can't be a slave to others, whether it's a slave of the Manchus or a slave of a revolutionary leader, I won't be a slave! My Bai family is a big family in Anhui, and I am also a pipe in the Qing court, if I want to be a slave, can't I be a slave to the Qing court? Do you have to carry out the revolution with your head in your head? ”
Huang Xing's depression could not be resolved, and he was worried that the core layer of the Kuomintang around him would disappear from nowhere, so he had to suppress his anger and comfort: "Don't worry, I will persuade Mr. Sun again, and persuade him again!" ”
Li Liejun smiled bitterly: "I hope Kegong can convince Mr. Sun, otherwise, I would rather follow the example of Yang Yuchang, Zhang Xianpei, Huang Zhimeng and other martyrs, and assassinate Yuan Shikai with two bombs, rather than live on my knees!" ”
Huang Xing hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Xia Ru, don't be reckless!" The blood of our comrades has been shed enough, and we can no longer sacrifice in vain. ”
Li Liejun said categorically: "What else can you do if you give up this way? Do you want me to follow Chai Dongliang's example and oppose Mr. Sun? Or is it that only Mr. Sun is the first to look forward to the horse, and follow the trend of being a slave? Let me oppose Mr. Sun, I would rather die than do it, but let me be a slave, I would rather die than do it! ”
Bai Wenwei also said firmly: "I think the same as Xia Ru, if Mr. Sun goes down the evil path, we can't stop it, but we can die to show our faith!" ”
Huang Xing muttered: "It's better to die than to be free!" How can I, the eldest husband, be a slave or a servant? If there really is a day, I will join you in waking up the people with sacrifice! ”
