Respect or respect, but not obedience and advocacy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Wenqiang didn't have to get along with Beichen, he just didn't agree with Beichen's revolutionary strategy, but he was opposed to Beichen's words and actions.

"I was the first to advocate the overthrow of autocracy and the establishment of a republic, I was the first to advocate revolution, and to talk about democracy and republic without me is the opposite of the opposite, and everyone must obey me; I dare say that there is no revolutionary mentor except me......"

Although Beichen did not put such words into practice, Chen Wenqiang understood his psychology, and it was precisely because of this that he chose to start anew, chose to form and fund the Fuxing Association, and chose to establish and support Song Jiaoren, a leader who can accept opinions with an open mind and accept advice.

The earth will turn the same way without anyone, don't take yourself too seriously, and don't take others too seriously. It is true that the first to advocate revolution, is the title of a "revolutionary pioneer" enough to be praised? Is it because it is the first initiative that we should regard ourselves as the embodiment of the revolution and regard our theories and strategies as the revolutionary truth of the golden rule?

No, even the traverser Chen Wenqiang didn't dare to be so arrogant. He will not be accustomed to worshipping someone's feet and blindly obeying the so-called sole leader of the revolution.

A person who is stubborn and even domineering will not be appreciated and supported by Chen Wenqiang. This is why some people, including Charlie Song, have repeatedly persuaded each other, and even arranged opportunities for the two to meet, but they did not get the results they wanted, and did not make Chen Wenqiang worship and respect, and have followed them loyally since then.

Beichen is commendable as a professional revolutionary, but he may not be a suitable leader of a country, may not have the ability to build a country, and may not have the wisdom to maneuver in a complex international situation. Just like Churchill in history, he led the British people to victory in World War II with perseverance, but that's all. The calm British people soon chose a new leadership that they thought was more suited to the changing circumstances of the times. pushed aside the old heroes with outstanding reputations, and the world was stunned.

On the contrary, Song Fuhua was more practical in terms of ideology and theory. Taking foreign debt borrowing as an example, when he communicated with Chen Wenqiang, he once said: "Based on the current situation of our country, there is a lack of capital. The phenomenon of naïve industry and the withering of the national economy has reached the extreme. The investment loans of various countries, although they are due to their aggressive policies of economy, and which I am able to understand the laws of management, the ways of use, and all the financial preparations of my husband, are not impossible to make use of them. ”

Similar to Chen Wenqiang, Song Fuhua also agrees with the balance of power foreign debt. He believed that the great powers contained each other, and this was an opportunity for China to deal with itself. It is not only a matter of dealing with oneself, but rather a driving force to contain all countries in order to maintain a balance of power for a long time.

Although there are also differences and arguments between the two, and it is not possible to agree on everything, in the big picture, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like-minded.

The fact that the Revival Society has been able to grow so quickly is inseparable from the sincere unity among its leaders. At first, it may have been because Chen Wenqiang had deep pockets. Many of the opinions have a subservient connotation. However, the changes in the revolutionary situation were indeed very much in line with Chen Wenqiang's vision, and thus proved the correctness of his revolutionary strategy to a great extent. Until now. The road has been decided, the revolutionary work is on the right track, the future is bright, and for the most part the unity of opinion is logical.

One light and one dark, promote each other and borrow from each other. The optimism of the revolutionary situation is palpable. Of course, these are only understood by a small number of high-level leaders, and they are not known to outsiders.

History cannot repeat itself, but similar scenarios can occur. The revolutionary army rose up in the southwest and fought until now. It is quite similar to the state before and after the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Yong'an.

On the surface, the Qing army besieging or besieging the Southwest Revolutionary Army had a numerical advantage, and the situation seemed to be favorable, but there were fatal hidden dangers.

First of all, there are multiple commands: Since the Qing army was drawn from various provinces, although there was Xiliang as the nominal commander-in-chief, the commanders of the troops in various parts of the country often went their own way, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and the mentality of fear of war and cowardice was quite common. However, there is no unity among the troops, the coordination is not effective, and even the units are sometimes demolished from each other, and such a command level can still cope with a stable war situation, and it will be difficult for them to make accurate and timely judgments and determinations once the battle situation changes abruptly.

The second is the dispersion of troops: because of the encirclement situation, the Qing side had to disperse its forces in a fairly wide range of many key points, the front enemy's strength was insufficient, and the second and third lines in the rear were even more empty, and they had to rely heavily on courage and regimental training to make up for the numbers, and this arrangement was based on the assumption that the revolutionary army followed the strategy of stubborn defense, and once the other side turned to the offensive and concentrated on breaking through a point, it would be difficult for the Qing army to block it, and once the first line of defense was broken, the empty hinterland would be immediately exposed to the revolutionary army's troops.

Logistical rigidity is also a major hidden danger: The Qing army also continued to use the outdated system to ensure the supply of military logistics, and the advantages of this system are that it is convenient to manage, the supply is stable, and it meets the needs of positional warfare and siege warfare; the disadvantage is that it does not adapt to the field mode of battlefield mobility and changeability, and once the revolutionary army jumps to the outside line to fight, it will be difficult for this system to quickly follow up and implement the guarantee.

On the other hand, after the revolutionary army launched a fierce attack at the beginning and seized a relatively stable base area, it carried out a large-scale rectification in the southwest, not only recruiting troops, training troops, and strengthening its military strength, but also focusing on government affairs and the economy.

And during this time, there was not silence on the battlefield either. Among them, there were the offensive and defensive attacks of the Qing army, and the attacks and counterattacks of the revolutionary army, all of which were not very large. However, the weaknesses of the various units of the Qing army were being grasped by the revolutionary army one by one, such as fear of hand-to-hand combat, weak will, fear of hardship and fatigue, lack of integrity in military deployment, and lack of actual combat experience among the leading generals and soldiers, etc., all of which accumulated the certainty of victory for the revolutionary army's counteroffensive.

As for the direction of the counteroffensive, it was quite unexpected. In Sichuan, the revolutionary army should roughly follow the road of the Mongols to capture Dali, cross the Jinsha River in the north, invade the country of abundance, and burn the revolutionary fire to the hinterland.

In fact, it is not entirely surprising to say that judging from the entire encirclement of the Qing army, the north is quite weak. Sichuan's new army is not only just being organized and trained, but according to intelligence, it is still a very strange team, which is very different from other new armies in the late Qing Dynasty. In other places, the new army is more capable of fighting than the old army, but this is not the case in Sichuan, and the new army in Sichuan, which has mixed in a large number of robes, is not only lower than the old army, but also seems to have a very good revolutionary foundation.
