Chapter 718: Advice Against the Ear
The west coast of the East Peninsula. Along the coastline to the south, there is a north-south railway, which extends to the south along the trend of the plain, which is the South Manchurian Railway, the branch line of the Eastern Railway, and the transportation lifeline of the southern region of the three eastern provinces.
At this time, a train is running along the South Manchurian Railway, heading south.
This is a military train, and the car carries troops, as well as munitions and materials, since it is a military train. There will be no emphasis on comfort, carrying capacity is the only goal, and it is for this reason that this train does not hang ordinary carriages, except for stuffy tank carriages. It is a flatbed trailer, in which soldiers sit in stuffy tank carriages, and flatbed trailers are loaded with cannons and ammunition.
As a passenger in the stuffy tank car, Huang Xing stood by the open door, holding on to the cable that served as a safety rope, and looked into the distance. The view of the coastline is very refreshing. Somewhat dispelled some of the gloom in his heart.
"The country is picturesque, no wonder Yingwei has to bend his waist for it
Huang Xing sighed, and suddenly remembered the word that Zhao Bei had done a few years ago, and that word was generous. The heroic is quite commensurate with what Zhao Bei did, but between the lines, it inevitably reveals a taste of underestimating the heroes of the world, and is a little crazy.
Of course, he is crazy, otherwise he would not be called a "Far Eastern madman" by foreign newspapers.
In Huang Xing's view, perhaps it is this kind of madness that makes Zhao Bei stand out from many heroes and heroes, and it is this kind of madness that brings the country to today's road. Now this country, economic exhibition. Armament is perfect. The country as a whole has a new look compared to the past, and many people have great admiration for the president and are convinced of the path he has chosen for the country.
In the past, Huang Xing also admired Zhao Bei very much. He once thought that this was a real, pure revolutionary, and that with his leadership, the country would eventually become rich and powerful, but now, his idea began to waver, that people will always change, and that power is a corrosive agent that can corrupt everyone. Including Zhao Bei.
Now, Zhao Bei is trying to achieve a presidential government. To further consolidate his power, in Huang Xing's view, this is the most direct evidence that Zhao Bei was corrupted by power, although it is somewhat regrettable, but Huang Xing did not feel too surprised, after all, people have selfish desires, and people without selfish desires cannot be in this society The difference is that once the selfish desires of the big people are made, it is not the selfish desires of the small people that can be mentioned together.
Zhao Bei is a big man, his selfish desire is to control power, as for where this selfish desire will take this country, it is not something that Huang Xing can speculate now.
The selfish desires of the big people can change a country in a very short period of time, such as Tang Xuanzong, who turned the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, or Tang Xuanzong, who decided to divide the clan and eventually led to the "Battle of Jingjing". The Ming Taizu, these big men have repeatedly proved the great destructive power of power with their actions, and the future of the entire country is determined by the will of one person, China's ancient history and modern history can basically be summed up in this sentence, whether the country is prosperous or declining, whether the people are peaceful dogs or troubled people, all depend on the words of the superior.
If you want to change all this, you have to build a republic. And to implement constitutional government, which is what Huang Xing and his comrades are fighting for, but now, the president has suddenly decided to go into politics. This is unacceptable in any case, and the ignorant people may not know what our government means, but Huang Xing does.
Politics is the monopoly of power, that is, the will of one person to decide the future of the whole country, Zhao Bei wants to be a dictator and dictator.
Huang Xing opposes Zhao Bei as a dictator and dictator, he doesn't distrust Zhao Bei's ability, he just doesn't trust people's selfish desires, Britain's Cromwell and France's Napoleon are all such dictators and dictators, they started as revolutionaries, and eventually went to the peak of selfish desires.
Because of this, Huang Xing decided to take a trip in person. Go to the front line and present your advice to the president. Huang Xing fully believes that with Zhao Bei's current prestige, no one will be able to defeat him in the presidential election, and since he can continue to hold the center through a legitimate presidential election, then why do he need to do more than that? Is it just to prevent problems before they happen?
Or, does Zhao Bei have more far-reaching plans?
Huang Xing was worried in his heart, this trip to Gaiping, he was resolute, not afraid that the president would be hostile to him, he was afraid that the president would not see him, after all, he had seen Yang Du yesterday, and it was difficult to guarantee that Yang Du did not take a telegram to inform the president in advance, if the president used evasion tactics, then Huang Xing was helpless.
Huang Xing pressed his liver with his hand, the pain from the liver made his forehead full of cold sweat, and the stuffiness in the carriage also made him sweat all over his body, the reason why he dragged his sick body to give advice to the president, Huang Xing also had a thought, hoping that the president could see how much he took a step back in the face of the mourning soldier, as long as the president gave up his intention to govern, Huang Xing did not mind suggesting that the Congress amend the constitution and extend the presidential term to ten years, which is enough time to completely change the face of a country.
But what if the president rejects Huang Xing's proposal? Huang Xing didn't know how to take the call at all. His current strength is too weak, even if he unites Xiong Chengji, he can't change the balance of power, not to mention, he doesn't plan to unite Xiong Chengji at all, because this country can't afford to mess up, and this country needs it
。
With a lot of thoughts, Huang Xing embarked on the road to Gaiping in the south, the future is bleak, he doesn't know where the road is, only knows that his liver disease has been anointed, even if he goes to the United States for recuperation, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven, rather than die in a foreign country. It is better to die on the road of constitutionalism.
There was almost a company of infantry crammed into the stuffy tank carriage, and they were all officers and soldiers of the second-line troops. It was transferred from Shanhaiguan to the Gaiping front. They didn't know Huang Xing, let alone what Huang Xing was here for, they were just discussing the war between China and Japan enthusiastically, and they couldn't wait to participate in this great war on the front line.
Huang Xing also attaches great importance to this war, which has a bearing on the overall situation. It is precisely because of this that he decided not to act jointly with Xiong Chengji, no matter whether the president's attempt to scrape the government is correct or not, at least, the president is completely correct in the strategy of this war, at this time, the president must not be dragged back, I hope all people can understand this truth.
Just when Huang Xing's car finally slowed down, he sounded the whistle and began to speak.
Gepin has arrived.
Huang Xing walked off the train with several entourages. Standing on the devastated Gaiping Railway Station, the shock in my heart is indescribable.
Huang Xing had not been on the battlefield, but compared to the wars he had participated in before, the battle in Gaiping was obviously much more intense, as evidenced by the large and small craters near the train station.
Although during this period, domestic newspapers were tracking and reporting on this local war born on the Liaodong Peninsula, the words in the newspapers were far less shocking than the crater in front of him. Once again, he felt the tremendous progress of China's national and military strength, and this progress was achieved under the leadership of Zhao Bei.
The more he thought about it, the more Huang Xing strengthened his opinion, that is, no matter what, he must persuade Zhao Bei to get lost and give up his political intentions.
Huang Xing rushed to the city defense headquarters with his entourage first. When I met the commander of the city defense, Pai Wenwei, I learned that the president was not in Gaiping City at all, but hunting in the deep mountains and old forests in the west.
At first, Huang Xing thought that the president was hiding from him. But after careful inquiry, I realized that the president had gone to the mountains to hunt a few days earlier, and he was not deliberately hiding from Huang Xing.
So, Huang Xing ignored the persuasion of Pai Wenwei. He insisted on a few war horses and hurried to the hilly area to the west with his retinue.
When Huang Xing arrived at the place, it was already noon, the journey was tiring, coupled with the torture of liver disease, Huang Xing was very tired, but fortunately he found the camp of the presidential guard in time, so he rested in the camp and waited for the president to return from hunting.
This wait was several hours, and when Zhao Bei led his subordinates to return with a full load, the sun was already in the west.
Zhao Bei didn't expect Huang Xing to be unclear. was quite surprised, and Huang Xing also understood that Yang Du did not take a telegram to report that he was going to come, so he simply did not mention his meeting with Yang Du in Shenyang, met Zhao Bei, and went straight to the point. "Zhenhua, I came here this time, I am here to give you some advice against the ear, if you are willing to listen, I will talk now, if you don't want to listen, I still have to speak, I am not like Yang Du, I specialize in good words, good medicine is bitter, advice is against the ear, you can do it yourself."
"Keqiang, you didn't recuperate in Xishan, did you come to Gaiping, did you just want to say a few words?"
Zhao Bei immediately understood what Huang Xing was going to say, he knew very well that Huang Xing opposed politics, which can also be understood, as one of the quiet figures of the constitutionalist faction, Huang Xing of course wants to fight for the political interests of the constitutionalist faction, and the so-called camp decides the position, which is the reason.
"Of course, I can only say a few words now, I can't pull the flag to make your rebellion, but I can at least say a few words to you from the bottom of my heart. Zhenhua. You are a very talented person. You are president. No one is unconvinced, as long as you defeat Japan. You will definitely win re-election in the next presidential election, and instead of being called a traitor to the revolution behind your back, you should go straight to the presidential race.
I know that Yang Du is jumping up and down now, inciting public opinion, and creating a political atmosphere, which is actually not his plan, "This is actually your plot." Right? You want to be a politician, you want to be a president for life, right? But have you ever wondered what those revolutionary comrades who were born and died with you would think? What will they think of you? In a few years, what kind of evaluation will you Zhao Zhenhua leave in the history books?
One misstep has become a thousand years of hatred, and there have been many teachings in history, and Chinese and foreign countries could have become heroes who have gone down in history, but just a thought, they have become a stinking stun for thousands of years. Zhenhua. There are two paths in front of you now. One is to be the second Washington in the world, and the other is to be the second Napoleon in the world. Which path do you want to choose? ”
Listening to Huang Xing's endless words, Zhao Bei was a little stunned. This is talking to the president, Huang Xing's performance is a bit excessive, but considering Huang Xing's constitutional stance and Huang Xing's liver disease, Zhao Bei suddenly understood him a little.
This is out of the way, anyway, Huang Xing is sure that Zhao Bei will not send him to a military court just because of these few words.
Huang Xing talked over and over for half an hour. Then he sat back tiredly, waiting for Zhao Bei to reply.
Zhao Bei smiled faintly. said: "Whether it's Washington or Napoleon, they are all heroes of their own country, Keqiang, you describe me like this, you really exalt me, where are you talking against me, you are clearly touting me and flattering me." ”
Seeing that Zhao Bei looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and seemed to be planning to pull the topic aside, Huang Xing was a little helpless.
"Zhenhua, listen to me
"Nope! Listen to me! ”
Zhao Bei interrupted Huang Xing's words. said: "It's not that I don't want to discuss this topic with you, it's really because I don't have time to discuss this topic now, because just now, a telegram was sent from the former enemy headquarters, just today at noon." Our army has surrounded more than 30,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese army is now a battle of trapped beasts, and the battlefield is not in the predetermined battlefield I set, and now the battle situation is delicate, the more at this time, the more I am the supreme commander has no time to be distracted, and we can talk about the topic of politics another day. ”
Don't have time to discuss this topic? What are you kidding? Wasn't he still hunting in the mountains just now? Besides, there is Wu Luzhen on the front line, and there is a group of senior staff officers, so can the president personally command the battle?
Huang Xing understood that Zhao Bei was still interrupting. But he didn't immediately refute, because Zhao Bei said another sentence, and this sentence made his position shake immediately.
What Zhao Bei said is:
"Whether I am in power or not, I am still me. I'm still the same revolutionary. If the will of the people makes me govern, I will never go against the will of the people, but I will set a deadline in the political stage, and as soon as the deadline is reached, I will return the government to the people. I think 20 years is more appropriate, and that's why it should be written into the Constitution.
Twenty years of political tenure is not long. According to the current presidential term, it is only four presidents. If it is calculated according to the ten-year presidential term that Huang Xing intends to revise. It's just two presidents.
It doesn't seem like a presidential system for life, and Huang Xing's position has indeed wavered.
