Chapter 129: The Lobbyist (I)
1908 Far Eastern Maniac Chapter 129 The Lobbyist (Part I)
Correct. Chen Qimei's gang is not here to assassinate the commander. It's too late for them to total. Where do you dare to assassinate?
In fact. They're here to be lobbyists. The purpose is the same as Yang Du. But. They are clearly not serving Sekai. It was Huang Xing who sent them.
Now the revolution in the South is in full swing. Yuan Shikai in the north is forcing the palace again. The Qing court had actually reached a dead end. There are only two roads left. One is to be overthrown by the revolution. The other is to abdicate on his own initiative and give way to the country. So it seems. The end of the Qing Dynasty was imminent. Now is the time to discuss the future of the republican zhèngfǔ organization. In particular, the enactment of the Constitution. This is the foundation of the country. Don't be careful.
Now among the revolutionary factions of the South. The most powerful is the Republican Army. The IRA had the best say in the constitution. It is necessary to formulate a constitution that meets the demands of the revolutionaries. It is inseparable from the support of the Republican Army.
This is precisely the main task of Chen Qimei and Wang Zhaoming's trip. Originally, Huang Xing planned to make a trip in person. But he was persuaded by everyone to stay and preside over the southeast military. So Chen Qimei and Wang Zhaoming were sent over. As for Chen Bijun. I simply followed Wang Zhaoming to play.
Several people left Fujian. Dao Shanghai. Board a British merchant passenger ship in |. Disembark at the Hankou Concession. Just in time for Yang Du and Ruan Zhongshu to board the ship and head east. They returned to Shanghai to attend the North-South peace talks. This Ruan Zhongshu is just down. It has nothing to do with the Alliance. But Yang Du studied in rì. Meet Wang Zhaoming and Chen Qi. Even Huang Xing was introduced to Mr. Sun by him. Arguably. The establishment of the League also had the contribution of Yang Huizi. Yang Du knew that these two people were cadres of the Alliance. So he took the initiative to step forward. This set gives a rough idea of the purpose of the two people's trip. Yang Du and Ruan Zhongshu were anxious. The alliance is clearly going to dig up Yuan Shikai's wall, and the two of them are combined, and Ruan Zhongshu still planned to go east by boat. Yang Du stayed. and Chen Qimei and others went to meet Zhao Bei. Jointly "discuss" the future of the republic zhèngfǔ organizational approach.
A few people ran to the House first. I didn't find Zhao Bei to ask Li Yuanhong. Only then did I know that the commander-in-chief was going to give Xiong Chengji a banquet today. Yu hurriedly ran to Yiran Hall. Stand on the edge of the Yellow Crane Rock and wait.
Know the purpose of how many people came. Zhao Bei put down-come. shook hands with Chen Qimei. smiled: "Your name is really Chen Qimei?" How does one of my old acquaintances have the same name? It was rude just now. Forgive me. ”
Chen Qimei was confused. Wang Zhaoming was also confused by the general order's actions just now, and was speechless for a while.
Chen "giggled" and laughed. said: "The commander is really joking. If you really have an old acquaintance, it is also called "Chen Qimei". Why don't you pull it and let us see. It's a good temper. It's always okay to exchange posts with Big Brother Ince. ”
Listened to this. Chen Qi and Wang Zhaoming came back to their senses. So he smiled. But let's be honest. The two really didn't believe much in the commander-in-chief, an old acquaintance was also named Chen Qimei. It's just that they can't figure out why the general secretary would wander for a short time.
"Hehe, you don't come here to make a telegram. Shall I send someone to meet you at the docks? After all, we are all revolutionary comrades. A war. Although divided into different organizations. However, the goal of this anti-Qing campaign is completely the same. And for the question of the national body. We also have a common language. ”
Zhao Bei was figuring out the real purpose of the other party's coming to Wulai
The revolutionary situation in the south is now showing up well. Hubei is controlled by the Republican Army. Henan has the revolutionary forces to forge ahead - to integrate western Henan and southern Henan. Hunan has also become the basis of the Communist Advancement Association. Jiangxi has the armed forces of Yan Xishan and Li Liejun supported by the Republican Army. If we add to this the forces of the Liberation Society in Zhejiang and the forces of the League in Fujian, then it can be said that half of the country in the south has fallen into the hands of the revolutionaries, if these revolutionary forces can be united. It is a fairly strong force that can stand up to the Beiyang clique in the north.
But it is not easy to complete the integration of this force. Let's not talk about the Liberation Society and the Alliance. There is also a domain between the Communist Association in Hunan and the Republican Army in Hubei. Therefore, if Chen Wang and others came to Wuhan to integrate these revolutionary forces. The alliance will inevitably have some longwangshu.
When I was thinking about how to test it. Yang on the side, but solved the doubts for the commander-in-chief.
Yang Du said: "General Division." The purpose of the few of them is simple. Tell you to support the Confederate. Support their parliamentary and accountable cabinet system. Supporting them will lead to the seizure of state power. You can say it in front of you a few times ago. You support Yuan Gong as president. Electricity has also been sent. Everyone in the world knows that you support Yuan Gong. ”
Zhao Bei smiled and said, "Huizi." You don't have to be so nervous. Manly husbands talk count. Since I said that I want to support Yuan Xiangcheng as the commander of the republic. He will never break his word. Otherwise. What will you rely on to win the trust of others in the future? And. In front of you and Ruan Zhongshu. I have made it clear that I support the presidential system. You may not know what I am saying in the House. Actually, in my opinion. China has been weak for a long time. Europe's system cannot be copied to China. China should still be dominated by strongmen. Military and political training, political and constitutional government. These three steps are China's path. Now the military administration is not over. Naturally, there is no such thing as constitutionalism. The constitution, of course, must be established. However, national circumstances must be taken into account. Skinny. You go back and tell Yuan Xiangcheng. As long as the Qing room abdicates. He is the first president of the Republic of China. ”
Yang Du's face is obviously much better-looking. Although he has always advocated a constitutional monarchy. But because of the lack of support from Zhao Bei. The Southern Destiny Sect also ignored it - plus Yuan Shikai didn't intend to let the Qing family continue to occupy the dragon chair. So he had to settle for the next best. Advocate learning from the United States. Implement a full presidential system. Yuan Shikai is in control of the country's major policies.
But not so with the League. They advocated learning from France. There is a parliamentary system and a cabinet system with full responsibility. The president is just a design. The actual power should be in the hands of the Cabinet. The heads of the Cabinet at all levels are appointed and dismissed by the National Assembly.
After listening to the words of the commander-in-chief, the faces of Qimei and others were difficult to see. Several people exchanged glances. Chen Qimei said: "Commander-in-Chief Mingjian. Yuan Shikai was an old minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Full of old ideas. If such a person is in power. I am afraid that it is not a blessing for the country. ”
Yang Du retorted: "Ince. You're too young. Some things are not as simple as they seem. Yuan Gong presided over the new policy for only a few short years. Politics has been seen by all, China has been weak for too long, and there are too many things involved in all aspects. Is it that simple for you to improve? It's up to you. Replaced Mr. Sun from your Alliance. I'm afraid it's not as good as Yuan Gong. ”
Chen Qimei sneered: "Huizi." We are doing revolution, not reform. Improve. You can't save the country! Even though the country needs a strongman to dominate. It should never be a hypocrite like Yuan Shikai! back then. It wasn't that he betrayed the Restorationists. Where did China get to where it is today? ”
"You have been deceived by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao! The "Wuxu Coup d'état" they compiled is simply one-sided! The set of the Restoration. Too aggressive. It simply doesn't work. Again. If Yuan Gong was against the Restoration, how could he preside over the New Deal? Yang Du said angrily.
Zhao Bei sighed secretly. This Yang Du is indeed too pedantic. Yuan Shi
Who? He's a politician! Politician. It was his own interests that he betrayed the new school for his own selfish interests. In previous years, he presided over the New Deal. Or for selfish gain. The same. Another space-time plane, the "Hongxian Empire", is also for the selfish interests of his Yuan family. Of course. These things are perhaps only seen most clearly by the time-traveler in history. Yuan Shikai did really confuse a large number of people before the emperor.
"What am I? Politician? Warlord? Or both? Zhao Bei asked himself in his heart. In order to realize his ideals. He's played with his wrists quite a bit. Although there is a righteous name in front of me. But. What can this change? For the world. Isn't he also sliding to the side of the politicians and warlords?
The traverser can see the direction of historical development, but this also dooms him to be lonely.
Heroes are lonely.
But then again. Judging from Chen Qimei's words. The current view of the League of Ministers on Yuan Shikai is very different from that in history. This may be the result of Zhao Bei's intervention in the historical process. Perhaps in the eyes of the Confederacy. Yuan Shikai's anti-Qing was not out of his heart, but was forced by his Zhao Zhenhua's "telegram", and Shikai was forced to Liangshan. It is necessary to give him more good. A virtual president is enough.
Of course. In the history of the other side. The alliance was also unwilling to put all power in the hands of Yuan Shikai. That's why the League was reorganized into the Kuomintang by Song Jiaoren. Gain the initiative in the National Assembly by expanding the number of members of the Diet. Restrain Yuan Shikai's actions by controlling the Congress. That's why. Historians generally believe that Song Jiaoren's assassination was closely related to Yuan Shikai. Because Yuan Shikai got the most. With the death of Song. The anti-Yuan forces in Congress quickly dissipated. Yuan Shikai not only controls the cabinet. It also took control of Congress. It's really a monopoly of power.
Now it seems. The alliance was still unwilling to hand over all power to Yuan Shikai. However, the approach they are taking now seems to be to pull the powerful faction in the south. directly gave Yuan Shikai a son on the issue of constitutionalism. Limit the president's power with a responsible cabinet.
But that's just the Alliance's plan. There's always something else planned.
Just when Zhao Bei was distracted. Wang Zhaoming, who had been silent, spoke. He pulled the corner of Chen Qimei's clothes. Said: "Ince. The commander-in-chief was right. We need a strong man to lead the way. There are many factions in our alliance. People are not in harmony. Sometimes it's okay to argue for days over a trivial matter. There's no combat power.
Shikai has a heavy hand. The prestige is high. Look at the world. He is the strongest man in China. Didn't Washington, the founding president of the United States, also hold power in the first place? But later, didn't he also give up his position and return to his hometown to serve the crops? Do you know that Yuan Shikai can't become the world's second Washington, China's first Washington? ”
"He can't become Huasheng!" Chen Qimei snorted disdainfully. "He's the most. Able to break the lun. Or the Napoleon of Waterloo! ”
"Flutter". Chen Bijun couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Bei, Xiong Chengji and others couldn't help but laugh. The analogy is apt. But only Zhao Bei knew. This is more than just a metaphor. Yuan Shikai really can't become Washington. Not even Napoleon. This is not only proven by history. Important: Now he Zhao Bei has crossed over. The title of "China's No. 1 Napoleon" or "China's No. 1 Washington" cannot be worn on anyone else's head!
"That's why national conditions determine everything. Washington so appeared in the United States. The reason why Napoleon appeared in France. It is all determined by the national conditions of these two countries. France cannot appear Washington. Napoleon also could not have appeared in the United States. It's not about morality and quality. It is only related to national conditions. ”
Zhao Bei restrained his smile. A serious summary. These words look like tongue twisters. There was silence.
"What about China? China - now Washington or Napoleon? Yang Du muttered to himself. As if asking himself. It's like being in people. But no one answered.
"Probably Napoleon." Zhao Bei replied in his heart.
But he didn't say it at all. So the topic naturally shifted.
"Zhenhua. This Mr. Chen Yingshi is right. Yuan Shikai really can't count on it. Xiong Chengji patted Zhao Bei on the shoulder. hit his dream of "the second Napoleon in the world".
"Who is this?" Yang Du glanced at Xiong Chengji. Although Xiong Chengji has a high exposure rate in the past two days. But it did not arouse Yang Du's interest.
"He is the hero of Anqing. Xiong Chengji Xiong Dadu. The word flavor root. Zhao Bei said. Although he is the first hero of Anqing's breaking the city. But now it is Xiong Chengji who the Restoration Society and the Alliance are desperately promoting. As for Zhao Bei. It seems to have been forgotten, consciously or unconsciously. If it weren't for the Republican Army's momentum. And in fact, it plays the role of the pillar of the revolution. I'm afraid Zhao Bei has been kicked aside.
This made Zhao Bei a little injured. He's a cadre of the Restoration Society. Shao people or Xiong Chengji.
This is the revolution. It is the life of the old forces. It's time not to change the life of a comrade. in order to realize their ideals. Revolutionaries have their own ideals in their hearts. Merely. In the end, there is only one person who can realize the ideal. The prize for the victor is the whole world.
Now here's the problem. Zhao Bei is not a member of the League. Naturally, it will not be looked down upon by the Alliance. And the Liberation Society is standing on the top of the mountain. Since its merger into the League. Many of the most prestigious members of the Liberation have joined the League. The reason why the Liberation Society was later rebuilt. Just because the alliance will split over the matter of leadership. A part of those who opposed Sun Wen came together for the same purpose. This led to the reorganization of the Liberation Society, but the reorganized Liberation Society lacked a leader who was truly capable of leading its members. Tao Chengzhang's prestige is insufficient. Zhang Taiyan was too flamboyant. There are many people in the meeting who are not far from their qualifications. Neither of them can integrate the mountains in the Restoration Society very well.
If you talk about revolutionary merits. Zhao Bei is qualified to set up his own mountain in the Restoration Society. But he didn't want to get involved in this kind of ministry struggle too early. And there is no confidence to subdue those old members.
So, ah. It would be wiser to focus on the military. Strength is everything.
"Xiong Chengji? Haven't heard of it. Yang Du's words comforted the commander-in-chief's wounded heart.
"I only heard about the time when the Anqing New Army mutinied. If it weren't for the big bomb of Commander-in-Chief Zhao. This "Shen Revolution" may not be provoked at all. ”
The Restoration Society and the Alliance will work hard to publicize Xiong Chengji's deeds. Zhao Bei was not idle. Make use of the current affairs propaganda team. Spread his glorious deeds to every corner. Right now. Not only Hubei and Hunan knew the key role of his "powerful bomb". Even the people in Henan and Jiangxi are reciting the heroic deeds of "Zhao Zhenhua broke the city alone". Besides. In Yuan Shikai, the role played by Zhao Zhenhua "anyway" is also undoubted. Even the storyteller in the teahouse is telling the story of "a letter of electricity determines the world". is talking about Zhao Bei's "telegram".
