Chapter 48 4 The Five Provinces United

"Well said," Mr. Kang patted the table, "I came today, just to hear your teachings, these days, our colleagues in the newspaper Congress, in fact, very depressed, everyone's ambitions can be described as lofty, but there is no way to serve the country, the warlords are too powerful, every action we take, are in danger, I also know that there must be a mistake in strategy, but what to do, everyone is always arguing, now well, listen to your words, let me be WwWlā"

He Yuan smiled and Mimi lit a pot of dry tobacco, and after he escaped, he first bought a smoking pot and a pack of tobacco. Pei Yi laughed at him, "It's okay if you don't eat, but it doesn't seem to work if you don't smoke." ”

Zhou Ping interjected on the side: "Mr. Pei said it really well, I always wanted to inherit the ancestral will and glorify the court, but now it seems that this kind of thinking is too narrow and too low-level, the country is chaotic to this extent, one family and one family, there is never a way out, only by looking forward to the prosperity of the country and the clarity of the world, can we live a good life." He listened to He Yuan and Pei Yi talk a lot in the past two days, and he was greatly inspired.

He Yuan puffed smoke and nodded, "Xiao Zhou is very right, Lao Kang, the problem of too much warlord power you said does exist, if we move slightly off, we will be arrested and fail, I have been arrested twice, and I have a deep understanding." We don't have guns in our hands, so we go directly to confront the warlords, of course, we have a disadvantage, what should we do? Only by mobilizing workers, peasants, and businessmen to unite together as Lao Pei said, can we turn disadvantages into advantages. If the workers and peasants of Beijing, Wuchang, Baoding, and Changsha could unite, how great would the power be? It's unthinkable. And the whole country is not just these few cities, therefore, I agree with Lao Pei's words, the top priority is to unite the workers and peasants, so that the people can realize from their minds. This seems to be a slow effort, but it is actually the right way, and it is the only right way. Only by mobilizing the masses can we enable our forces to change from quantitative to qualitative and gain an advantage in the struggle against the warlords. It is most unwise to try to kill a few warlords and improve the situation. ”

Xiao Wang excitedly came up and shook He Yuan's hand and said, "Mr. He, you spoke so well, Mr. Kang, let's do this in the future." ”

Pei Yi introduced the plan for holding "education for the common people" and the experience gained in Beijing and other areas, and He Yuan explained the methods of the various federations and the establishment of the willow weaving and transportation cooperatives in Changsha to help themselves and educate the people. Even Zhou Ping and Liu's father and daughter listened to it with relish.

In Zhou Ping's uncle's simple and dilapidated little house, the heated discussion lasted until almost noon, and everyone scrambled to speak first, and the conversation was unabated, but at this time, Shi Suo came back.

"You escaped so quickly." Dafeng said happily.

"Haha, I volunteered with them to reconnoiter the news of the 'chaotic party' outside the city and find out the whereabouts of the escapees, those guys were very happy, praised me for 'understanding the general situation, courage and resourcefulness', and gave me five yuan in funds, haha."

"Well," He Yuan nodded, "It's very dangerous in the Zhang Mansion now, not only do people know you, but they are racking their brains to find suspicious signs, it is the best policy for you to escape as soon as possible." ”

Shi Suo said: "Last night, when I followed them to interrogate those veterans, suddenly Chen Dade called the big housekeeper Shang Cheng away, early this morning, many soldiers and officers in the house had dinner in advance, Senator Lu, Mr. Yu and others, hurriedly ate and left, I quietly inquired with others, according to others, they are back in Beijing, it seems that there is a major event related to foreigners, so they are so busy, I still wonder, what are the major events between them and foreign countries? ”

Pei Yi said: "Since last year, the war in Europe is over, Germany is defeated, we China, although we did not participate in the European war, but as the alliance of the victorious countries, barely counted as a victorious country, the Beiyang government is even more proud of this, complacent, although Duan Qirui resigned as prime minister, but most of the affairs of the Beiyang government, in fact, is still controlled by the Anhui system, in the recent period, the Beiyang government sent representatives to attend the Paris Peace Conference, to discuss post-war matters, when I was in Beijing, I heard that they were busy, and foreign contacts, Senator Lu and the others left in a hurry, could it have something to do with these things? ”

Mr. Kang said, "Well, it's possible. However, I think that although China is regarded as a victorious country, the Western powers, when they have interests, will not think about China, they always bully the weak and dig a pit for you to jump, and these warlords in our country will never resist the power and fight for the interests of the people, so let's not have any hope for them. ”

"That's right," He Yuan habitually slammed the smoke pot, "As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy, our country has been weak for a long time, and the tiger and wolf state in the West has always regarded us as fish and meat, and this time will not be an exception." What is even more tragic is that the warlords of various factions currently in power in China only have their own gang interests in their eyes, and only know that they eat and drink spicy food, and act as a prestige, where will they think about the common people? Where will the future of the country be considered? They will grab land, money, power, and regard the people as grass and mustard, and the country as child's play, so I agree with Lao Kang's words, don't have any hope for them, what we need to do now is to mobilize the people, save themselves, and fight against the warlords. ”

Xiao Wang said excitedly: "Teacher He, listening to your explanation, it is really bright-eyed." ”

Shi Suo took out a book and a few pieces of paper from his pocket, "I almost forgot, the 'Five Provinces United' plan that Senator Lu discussed in the Sakura Courtyard let Ding Changyou and them squeeze out of Chen Dade, it just so happened that Chen Dade was a helper, and he wrote a good hand, and was responsible for recording and copying the plan, and after Ding Changyou got the plan, he hurriedly copied a copy for me, you see." ”

On those pieces of paper, densely written with small characters, very scribbled and barely legible, He Yuan and the others got closer to look at it carefully.

This plan is divided into several parts: "General Program," "Draft Actions for Each Province," and "Outline of Joint Strategies." The content is very detailed, and the several provinces controlled by the Anhui system have all made specific statements, and the general program is to integrate the backbone forces of the Anhui system, unite with other local forces, carry out a nationwide joint action, squeeze out the direct and Feng lines, and use the strategy of "encroachment" to expand the troops, accumulate strength, and form a huge network of common interests, so as to choose the right time, launch a unified action, eat the direct line, squeeze the Feng system to the northeast corner, and establish a stable rule of the Anhui system in the Central Plains.

In the column "Time to launch unified action" it reads: TBD.

He Yuan praised: "This plan is very grand, there is a level, and whoever wins the Central Plains wins the world, and the people who formulate these plans are very military and politically literate, and their strategy is quite worthy of admiration." It seems that their cat is in the cherry blossom courtyard and is not eating in vain. (To be continued.) )
