Chapter 3 Planning
Werther looked angrily in the direction where the stones were flying, and saw several children shouting in their mouths: "Foreign devils, disrespect the sky." The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info the gods are also angry, and the immortals are also annoying. It doesn't rain, the ground is dry. If you don't believe it, look carefully, the devil's eyes are blue. He ran into the distance, while the pedestrians and vendors around him were all bowing their heads and laughing.
When Werther heard the children's words, a deep sadness arose in his heart. This period was a period of deepening Sino-foreign contradictions throughout North China, and with the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, the great powers were even more unscrupulous in China, and many missionaries relied on their foreigner status to do whatever they wanted. On the other hand, the officials of the Qing government often regarded foreign-related incidents as major events, and whether the Chinese people took advantage of them or not, they blindly favored foreigners, causing foreigners to become even more unscrupulous.
Especially in places like Shandong, on the one hand, Western Christianity and Catholicism are in conflict with traditional Chinese religions; On the other hand, in order to attract more congregants, missionaries allowed women to join the church, which in turn conflicted with traditional religion. In order to win the so-called clean name, some traditional conservative forces do not hesitate to fabricate rumors -- such as chilling information about foreigners eating children and digging out people's hearts -- to mislead the common people, which has led to the aggravation of contradictions between China and the West and religion. This situation led directly to the large-scale outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion in 1899, the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900, and the final signing of the Treaty of Xinchou in 1901.
Witt touched the back of his head and there was no big problem, so he continued to walk forward, but the Chinese who were suffering felt a little puzzled, if other foreigners were probably already angry and wanted to find trouble with these bear children. Witt didn't pay attention to the gaze of these people, and walked down Qianmen Street to Zhengyangmen Gate and looked at the towering Beijing city wall.
Zhengyangmen, witnessed the history of China in the 20th century, in 1900 when the Gengzi national disaster, the Gan army fought bloody battles to resist the invasion, the general soldier of the Gan army Ma Fulu in the "things are broken, there is no way to recover, my generation can only abide by the orders of the court, to protect the country." "China and Israel were martyred; In 1901, the Qing government built a railway station in the east of Zhengyangmen, and the Zhengyangmen Railway Station, which was completed in 1906, became the largest railway station in China at that time. After that, it went through a series of events such as the abdication of the Qing Emperor and the usurpation of the country by Yuan Shikai, and then witnessed the peaceful liberation of Beijing and the founding of New China in 1949.
Witte looked at this section of the city wall that was better preserved in later generations, and was full of emotion, but since he came to Beijing, he has always been melancholy in his heart. He constantly asked himself what kind of change I could bring to this country, no matter what kind of clothes I wore, no matter what color of skin I wore, but deep down I was still a Chinese.
Looking at the zombie-like people walking through the streets, at the scattered eyes of the street patrolmen, at the annoying pigtail-like wagging braids, Witt felt his heart throb for the first time. That's right - the revolutionary party! Witte thought that the revolutionary party at this time, that is, the Xingzhonghui, had already been established in Honolulu at the end of 1894, and even launched the Canton Uprising in 1895.
Witte's mind carefully filtered through the history of the party that would rule China for more than two decades before its defeat on the island. At this time, the Xingzhonghui was at best a revolutionary organization with the idea of the Enlightenment bourgeoisie for the purpose of expelling the Manchurian rulers, and the core member of this organization was Sun Wen.
Sun Wen, as the future father of the country who was recognized and respected by both sides of the Taiwan Strait, was born in Cuiheng Village, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province in 1866, followed his mother to Honolulu in 1879, and then received Western education in Honolulu, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, and graduated from the Hong Kong College of Western Medicine in 1892. During the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894, Sun Wen personally went to Tianjin to write to Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang and the governor of Zhili, and put forward the reform proposal of "people can make the best use of their talents, land can make the best use of their benefits, and goods can flow freely", but it was not accepted.
After the failure of Sun Wen's letter to Li Hongzhang, he came to Honolulu in November, and then formed the "Xingzhong Society" with Liu Xiang and He Kuan in Honolulu, proposing to "drive out the Tartars, restore China, and establish a united government." In February 1895, Sun Wen negotiated a merger with the Fu Yan Cultural Society in Hong Kong, and then established the Hong Kong Xingzhong Association and organized the Canton Uprising. After the failure of the uprising, Sun Wen was forced into exile.
In October 1896, he was ensnared by the Qing Legation in London, England, and was rescued by British friends such as Conderley. At this time, Sun Wen had just experienced the martyrdom in England and was temporarily living in Japan, and his ideas were still a general concept at this time. Although Sun Wen also focused on the economy and politics of Europe and the United States when he was in exile, he still did not form a complete idea.
As for the revolutionary group of the Xingzhonghui, its main body is still inseparable from the nature of the gang, and the personnel are based on some gangs and community members under the banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", so that in the later revolutionary party and the Kuomintang, there were many people from the community, including Sun Wen himself, who were the red sticks of the Hong Gang. It can be said that the looseness of this organization was also a major reason for the defeat of the Kuomintang in the later period.
But what if Sun Wen was made to accept Marxism? What about the reorganization of the Xingzhong Association into a later CCP-like organization? Werther was shocked when the idea popped into his head, but he thought about it and felt that it was still controllable at this stage.
As we all know, compared with the Russian Revolution, the Chinese Revolution had an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal stage -- that is, the so-called "democratic revolution"; the bourgeois forces led by Sun Wen led the old democratic revolution, while the later Communist Party of China led the new democratic revolution.
The more Witte thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very operational, especially since the upcoming Gengzi National Rebellion was a good thing for the Chinese revolution. At the time of the Gengzi National Rebellion, Li Hongzhang, Liu Kunyi, and Zhang Zhidong signed the "Southeast Mutual Protection Treaty" with the foreign powers, and made a secret agreement that once Beijing was lost, the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi were killed, and Li Hongzhang was publicly recommended as the general ruler. The self-preservation of Li Hongzhang and other Han feudal officials did not help the Qing court lose face, but also proved that the strength of the Han people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still strong at this time.
If before that, if he had used the past few years to reorganize the Xingzhong Society and turn it into a party with strong organizational capacity and capable members, and if he had received considerable support, then Sun Wen would have been able to succeed in one or even several places. So where are the choices? After thinking about it, Vitess still thinks that the Northeast is a good choice.
At this time, the Tohoku was not the time when Japan was dominant after the Russo-Japanese War. At this time, the northeast can be said to be completely the sphere of influence of the Russians, and once Sun Wen obtains the northeast, then it can be attacked, retreated, and defended. From the perspective of Sun Wen's traditional national sentiment, the Northeast is the land of Longxing in Manchuria, and once it is obtained, it will completely cut off the retreat of the Manchurians to return to their hometown. There are coal mines and iron mines in the northeast, which can fully develop heavy industry; There is a large scale of black soil, you can not worry about food, as long as the development is good, the Northeast can become a perfect base.
The more Witte thought about it, the more he felt that there was enough room for maneuver, and it seemed that he had to have time to go to Japan to meet the future father of the nation, but when Witte thought of the possible benefits that the Russians might gain after Sun Wen seized the northeast and established a base, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, isn't this a traitor? Alas, the way the curve saves the country is really uncomfortable! My dear motherland, hurry up and become strong!
"Mr. Witt, I didn't expect to see you here!" While Werther was thinking, a man approached him in French to say hello.
