1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 137 Destroy the old and build the new

It seems to the revolutionaries of the League. The first president of the Republic of China served only as the leader of the League. This is not just a matter of position. It's more of a matter of strategy. Only by putting the power of the state in the hands of the revolutionaries. in order to bring this country to civilization and prosperity.

But as with all the other questions. Nor could the League agree on this issue. The development of the situation is not up to the Alliance. Now Yuan Shikai has made his anti-Qing stance clear. So. Should this revolution end there? After the life of the race. Will this social revolution be followed immediately?

There are those who advocate the continuation of the revolution. But man said that his life ended there. Knives and guns are put into storage. Ma Fang Nanshan. The struggle will move from war to Congress. Song Jiaoren holds the latter view. So. He supported Yuan Shikai to become the president.

Since Mr. Sun has been abroad. It is not known how the League will disagree on this issue. So he asked. Everyone in the conference room looked at Song Jiaoren. See how he responds.

"Yes. I support Shikai as president. I thought. Yuan Shikai should be regarded as a figure who inherits the past and the future. He is both a representative of the old era. It is a symbol of a new era. When presiding over the New Deal. And he did a great job. This indicates. He was an old bureaucrat with a new mind. If you can win this character. Our ideals can be realized in a short period of time. Parliament, political responsibility, and separation of powers in the Cabinet. It's all there. As long as we grasp the responsibility of the Cabinet and Congress. Yuan Shikai even became president. It is impossible to do anything wrong. on this. I'm confident. Song Jiaoren said.

"But. Zhao Bei holds the presidential system. Chen Qimei said. Don't worry. Even if the cabinet of full responsibility cannot be established. We can also find a way to have a majority in Congress. Only the Senate and the House of Representatives are controlled. The Cabinet and the President also listen to us. In fact, the United States is not responsible. Rather, it is a rule, but the president does not dare to go against the country's opinions. Zhao Zhenhua also saw this. So he is not worried about the president using his power. ”

"That's what I thought at first. How to have a majority in Congress? Today, the revolutionaries are divided. The Republican Army in Hubei does not say. Even Fujian and Zhejiang provinces are also full of differences, and they came to the parliamentary election. How to guarantee the number of digits? Mr. Sun asked.

"I thought about it. There is a way. I have written the charter. Please sir. Song Jiaoren opened the bag. Take out a couple of letters.

"This method is that the old party creates a new party. The League will be dissolved. The Restoration Society is also a joint advancement meeting. Then they will form a large party across provinces and factions and seek cooperation with other parties. In terms of political views, seek common ground while reserving differences. There is no need for a high degree of political unanimity. Just ask for a large number of people. People are united. So. The election of members of parliament guarantees multi-party seats. to take joint action in this area. On a small scale. It is possible to settle points internally, and even bargain. So. You can put a shackle around Yuan Shikai's neck. "No! We have already vetoed this of yours at the meeting. Why are you taking it out again now? Chen Qimei stood up. The face is sè iron blue.

"The Alliance was created by Mr. All these years. We have always used this name to propagate the revolution. An uprising was also launched. How can it be easily disbanded? A big party was formed. In the National Assembly, it has a majority. So what? Now it's the barrel of the gun that speaks! Go to Hubei and have a look. Go to Zhili to see that both Zhao Bei and Yuan Shikai are recruiting. They can see the expansion of the army clearly. It is not Congress that determines China's future today. It's the army! Dissolution of the Alliance. It is tantamount to dissipating the morale of the army. It's a stupid move. Form a big party. It will only make the members uneven. At critical times, the wolf is not on the dog. This is never possible. ”

"A new party was formed. Who is the leader? Are you Song Duchu? Ma Junwu, who had been silent, sneered.

"At this time, I will talk about the leaders of the new party. Something seems wrong. Let's look at the blunt plan first. This plan is to change. It's not what you saw some time ago. Xie Zhi said lightly. Although there are only a few words. But it diluted the smell of gunpowder in this conference room.

The conference room fell silent. None of the people dared to take over the conversation easily. Song Jiaoren's method is indeed too radical and abrupt. And it's too idealistic.

Mr. Sun did not speak. Just quietly flipped through the letters. It took a few minutes to go through it. Place the letter lightly on the armrest of the sofa. swept the crowd with different eyes. Take a long sigh of relief. Said slowly: "Although the proposal of the dull beginning is a bit of a scholar's opinion. \\.Start\\But it can also be a good way to save the day. "Sir." Chen Qimei was stunned. is yù grabbing. But it was stopped by Mr. Sun's gesture.

Mr. Sun said: "The current situation is very unfavorable to our revolutionary forces. The great powers are optimistic that Yuan Shikai will not support our revolutionaries. Interception of customs surplus. It also sent warships to cruise along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang. The Fujian Revolutionary Army's attack on Guang also failed. My trip to Europe also yielded nothing. We don't have guns and we don't have money. It was also diplomatically unrecognized by the Great Powers. Originally. The only hope is on the side of the IRA. But again they don't cooperate. Although the Hunan Gongjin Association agrees with our proposition. But the strength is weak|. And there are constitutionalist constraints. And one relies on the Republican Army's snort. Therefore, the Communal Association will not be effective. So it seems. Yuan Shikai's appointment as the president of the Republic of China seems to be a foregone conclusion. We cannot change this situation by force. So. The method of blunt Chu has become the only means that can restrain Yuan Shikai at present.

If the blunt approach can restrain the president. It's not a good idea. But if Yuan Shikai refuses to obey the Congress. Then it is also possible to wake up those naïve revolutionaries with facts. Let them see Yuan Shikai's true face. Really stand up to me.

Although I founded the League. All of you are proud to be members. But that's it. If you don't disband, you dissolve. The reason why our revolutionary forces in the south are scattered is that they are scattered. It's because each other's domains are too heavy. If you can form a big party. Although it is inevitable that there will be. But in the big picture. But it can be of one mind. I agree with Du Chu on this point. Other than that. I think in addition to forming a big party with a majority in Congress. The capital should also be moved to Fuzhou. Fujian is now controlled by the Revolutionary Party. It's close to the South Seas. It's the hometown of overseas Chinese again. Easily accessible foreign aid. The north was Yuan Shikai's sphere of influence. Only by confined him to the south can the Congress be sure to restrain him from moving the capital to Fuzhou. It should be a prerequisite for us to support Shikai as president. It is also a condition for us to support the presidential system. ”

"Move the capital to Fuzhou?" Chen Mei was slightly stunned. However, the republican Zhao Bei suggested moving the capital to Wuhan. Moreover, he was unequivocally opposed to the establishment of the capital in the coastal districts. ”

"Oh?" Mr. Sun was surprised.

"Commander-in-Chief Zhao meant. Běijīng is too close to the coast and is vulnerable to land and sea attacks. There is no danger to be had. I'm weak. Armament is not|. In case of a war similar to the one in the Jiawu Gengzi period. There is no certainty of perseverance. The same is true for coastal areas, where capital is not suitable for construction. Wuhan, on the other hand. It is strategically deep in China. It is good for defense. It is also the Jinghan railway hub. Convenient transportation. There is also an industrial base. It is the best choice for building the capital at present. Liu Yi explained.

"But we don't have any foundation in the lake*. Where do you go, will you be controlled by others? ”

And he said one thing less: Wuhan is the territory of the Republican Army. It is the world of his "King of Hubei" Zhao Zhenhua. ”

Several league cadres did not yīn do not yang * a few times. The proposal to move the capital to Wuhan was rejected.

"So it seems impossible to move the capital to Wuhan." Qimei said. "Sir's favor. The capital is Fuzhou."

"Fujian is governed by the same association. Dingdu Fuzhou. Won't it be too flamboyant? If the Beiyang Army withdraws from Jiangning. It's a good place to build a capital. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. King Meteorology was renamed Nanjing. It seems that it is more suitable to build a capital than - . ”

"Nanjing? Beiyang won't be so stupid? The two rivers are rich. The Beiyang Army's fight against Jiangsu is not as simple as a crusade. It's a pity that our main forces are in Fujian, Guangdong, otherwise. Occupy Jiangsu and Shanghai. This will not be so financially difficult. ”

There was a lot of talk - each had its own opinion.

"But it's just me—a wishful thinking. Moving the capital aside for the time being may not be feasible to form a big party. Our allies will understand. Will the Liberation Society be disbanded? The other revolutionaries refused to dissolve? I heard that the Republican Army in Hubei is also forming a party now. Two days ago, Li Yuanhong also took a telegram. Ask about the organizational structure of the League. Xie Zhi stood up. This pointless discussion was put to an end.

"We have always been free from each other. Form a new party. I'm in favor. I am also in favor of moving the capital. Anyway. Just be in favor of the republic. Endorse the Parliament. Just comrade. Liu raised his hand and said. He is a member of the League. He is also one of the initiators of the Communist Association. Although Hunan has become the world of the Communist Association. But Liu Yi did not rush to Hunan to fight side by side with Sun Wu and others. Instead, they chose to stay in the Southeast. The horn that continues to act as a liaison sè.

"Over there. I'll try. Although Tao Zhang and Mr. are not on good terms. But the personal relationship with me is not bad. Move with emotion. Know the reason. They will not remain indifferent. ”

Jiaoren paused. He also said: "Zhao Zhenhua's support for Yuan Shikai made the Restoration Society a little embarrassed. And. Because of the appointment of Zhao Zhenhua as the governor of Hu, the relationship with the Hunan Communist Association was tense. For this. There was already a dispute within the Liberation Society. The hearts of the people are disheartened. The current Liberation Society is no longer the Liberation Society that launched the Anqing First Uprising. ”

In fact, his last few words were not just talking about the Liberation Society. It's also talking about the Alliance. After the rise of the revolutionary army. The situation is chaotic. The rift that had existed within the alliance was widening. Some openly form cliques. Set up a separate portal. A new party was formed. on this. The League's top brass was a little helpless. So. His proposal to "build the old with the new" is essentially an attempt to maintain this loose alliance.

Mr. Sun stood up. Finished that gray sè dress. took the French hard helmet handed over by Chen Qimei. said: "Blunt Chu." You do things with your heart. If Tao Zhang and the others refused to dissolve the Guangfu Society. Don't be discouraged either. Revolution is a hard undertaking. Perseverance is the right way. You're just too bookish to do things. Idealism. Need to know. Sometimes the revolution also needs some gangsterism. Look at the Republican Army's Zhao Bei. There is a sense of gangsterism everywhere. But you can admit it. It was this kind of gangsterism that brought the revolution to this point. ”

Jiaoren nodded thoughtfully. As he pondered these few words. Mr. Sun has put on a hard helmet. Leave the conference room with Chen Qimei and others. Get off the ship.

On the ladder. Mr. Sun waved to the people who welcomed him. Several reporters huddled on the side of the ladder. A reporter asked, "Mr. Sun." This time I returned to China. How many pounds did you bring? How many guns did you bring? ”

Mr. Sun smiled slightly. Said: "Contemptible country." Didn't bring back a penny. Nor did he bring back a single bullet. brought back. It's nothing but a revolutionary jīng god. ”

These few words quickly spread throughout the docks. Some people cheered for the revolutionary jīng god. But many more shook their heads and sighed. I can't help but think of the same question: Is it? Do you really want Yuan Shikai to take the position?
