Chapter 507: Fence
Emperor Sun looked at the Qingtian White Sun Flag behind him, and his eyes were a little complicated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"In the earliest days, I, Shaobai, Xiaoyuan, and Lixuan were four people, one had no money, the other had no guns, and the four of them were in the room, so they thought about expelling the Tartars and recovering China. We were in Hong Kong at the time, and we didn't think we had to worry about it, so we talked so loudly that we wouldn't close the door. People passing by in the neighborhood could hear us shouting to overthrow the imperial system, bring down the Jin Kingdom, expel the Tartars or something, and they gave us nicknames at that time, calling us the Four Great Kou. Later, the spies of the Jin Kingdom found out, and we didn't have a house to live in. We had no choice but to go out into the streets, from a verbal uprising to a de facto uprising. Since then, the people around me have left me one by one and sacrificed their lives to do Ge Ming. This flag was designed by Haodong, and his talent is above mine, and he is more suitable to be a leader than me. The Guangzhou Uprising failed, and in order to cover everyone, he generously served as a righteous. The red color on this flag is the blood of the martyrs. Now Ge Ming has finally achieved the hope of victory, and this banner is flying in various provinces of China, which has not only realized our ideals, but also can be seen by Brother Haodong under Jiuquan. Unexpectedly, this small request could not be made, and now it can only be in my office, accompanying me, the interim president. ”
Chen Wuwei knew that when Emperor Sun came, although he was unanimously welcomed by all walks of life, even his sentence I did not bring military salaries and weapons, only brought the spirit of Ge Ming, and received thunderous applause. But only for a while, not for a lifetime, and when the spiritual power is exhausted, the real problems still need to be solved. Although Ge Ming achieved great success this time, the donations raised by Sun Dixiang were too small.
This is not to say that Emperor Sun is incompetent, his fundraising ability is also well-known throughout the Xingzhong Society. For example, Zhang Jingjiang, one of the four elephants of Nanxun, did not hesitate to sell a store in Capet to provide funds for it, which was won by Sun Dixiang's strong personality.
But the problem is that people are not as good as heaven, the situation in Taixi has changed dramatically, the Yankee war clouds are thick, and the northern and southern states have already had the possibility of war. A large amount of funds were used to prepare for the war, and the flow of funds for the Chinese was extremely tight, and it was much more difficult to raise funds than in the past. Then there was the previous failed uprising, which consumed the wealth of the Chinese overseas who tended to Ge Ming so much that their financial resources dried up and made it difficult to sustain themselves.
In Fusang, although there are big chaebols and Xingzhong Hui who have a deep friendship, there is no shortage of Fusang ronin as comrades in Xingzhonghui. However, after Albiang's intervention, the Fuso chaebol must also be low-key and cautious, and if Albiang detects a large amount of funds, it will also fall into a crisis. Mingzhe protects himself, and the funds that Ge Ming's party members can obtain are even more limited.
If there is no salary, there is no power, and there is not enough funds, so the speech power of the Xingzhong Association will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the argument over the national flag finally defeated the Qingtian and White Sun Flag with the five-color flag. Hidden behind the national flag was the struggle between various forces within Ge Ming's army.
Emperor Sun sighed, "We Chinese are looked down upon overseas, not simply because the country is weak, we also have our own problems, but we are not united enough. When people are in a foreign land, they should help each other and unite as one, so that it is possible to fight for their own rights and interests. As a result, everyone took the villagers as enemies to guard against each other, framed each other, and even did not hesitate to turn to foreigners in order to realize their personal ambitions. When foreigners see this, they naturally don't take us seriously, let alone protect our rights and interests. This is the case abroad, and the same is true at home, Ge Ming is far from being successful, and has already begun to fight for power and profit internally, which is really chilling. ”
Chen Wuwei said: "Sir, so Wuwei thinks that if you want the country to be rich and strong, you must first let all your strength work in one place, and you can't waste your strength on internal friction." In order to bring the power together, there must be a strong man as the leader, and there is no second person other than the gentleman who can bear this burden. The people of the Restoration Society wanted to usurp the fruit of Ge Ming, so I had to kill them. Some people say that Ertao is innocent, but what I think about is not innocent or guilty, but since they are leaders and want to fight for this position, then they are guilty. This is not a question of justice, but of position. Of course, the people of the Liberation Society will not agree to this, so someone must come out to bear the consequences, and Wuwei will stay and deal with them, while Mr. will seize the time to integrate the forces of all parties and deal with the Northern Army again, and we must not bow to the Northern Army. ”
"Today, the Jin people have lost their deer, and there are three people who have the hope of winning the supreme throne. Mr. is one of them, Yuan Xiangcheng is one of them, and there is another person, which is Zhao Guanhou of Shandong. He is good friends with foreigners, and he has Zhengyuan as his help, if he is ruthless to be the emperor, tens of millions of foreign debts will also be borrowed. But of the three, he is the most likely to be restored. Without the courage to fight, please Chen Lenghe's God of Wealth to lead the Lu army to Jiangning. In this battle, although we lost Jiangning, Zhao Guanhou didn't want beauties in the world, and he was destined to fall into an evaluation that could not be a big deal. We lost Jiangning, he lost Jiangshan, and this account is not a loss. ”
Emperor Sun said: "Everyone is looking forward to Yuan Weiting Anyway, I don't dare to trust this person." His experience and his consistent performance make me feel that he is not a person who will support the people's own life. If the country is put in his hands, it is likely that we will overthrow an emperor and re-establish an emperor, which will be completely different from Ge Ming's original intention. But the current situation does not allow us to refuse this emperor. ”
Chen Wuwei shook his head: "Not really. Although Ge Ming's strength has been hit hard, Yuan may not necessarily be able to have the last laugh. With the hope of Mr. Man, as long as he ascends to the heights, there will be heroes from all walks of life who are willing to die for Mr. A million teachers are available in a moment. And the people that Yuan Weiting can rely on are none other than the six towns of Beiyang, of which the first town is the banner people, which is unbearable for a war, and the other five towns, the fifth town in Shandong have their own system, and Yuan may not dare to use it. With my millions of volunteers, against his four towns in Beiyang, the victory or defeat is still five or five, and we will not necessarily lose. ”
Sun Dixiang smiled helplessly, "It's true that you won't necessarily lose, but you will definitely not win." In China, I may have won against Yuan Weiting, but from a global perspective, I would definitely have lost. Once the Yankees go to war, Tessie's power will be involved, and if it is not done well, it will evolve into a bloody battle on an unprecedented scale. Once Taixi's influence in China weakens, Fusang and Tiele will inevitably take the opportunity to come out and cause chaos, and we will win the political situation but lose the country. I can't do such a thing as letting the lives of countless good men sacrifice their lives in the civil war. I'd rather give up this president than sacrifice the interests of the whole country in order to keep this position. ”
He added: "I will make a final negotiation with the people of the Liberation Society, hoping that they will give up the harm done to you." I believe that you can definitely reach a final settlement with them, and you will reduce your outings during this time until you are sure that it is safe to do so. The governor of Matsue is still yours. Siyuan and his wife, I will take them to the Xinzheng Mansion to serve, Siyuan is not a person who is a governor, and it is not good for anyone to stay in this position. This is our foundation, and I am willing to leave it to someone who has the ability and dependence. ”
A word of praise is better than Hua Gon. Chen Wuwei's face was slightly red, and he got up and saluted, "Wuwei must live up to Mr. Wang's expectations, and will defend Gonghe with his life!" ”
"Don't swear, sit down and talk." Sun Dixiang smiled and pointed to Tang Yishao's name thorn on the table, "I'm talking to him about what form of government to use in the new Zhengfu in the future." I said that I could let Yuan Weiting be the president, but I didn't say that there would be no headquarters. This is Cape's system, where between the president and the cabinet, there is an additional lieutenant. If the president is a tiger, then the Senate and the House of Representatives are cages, so that the president cannot do whatever he wants. Moreover, he, the president, cannot sit in the capital, but can only sit in Jiangning. Jiangning is Nanjing, the same imperial capital, and there are no procedural obstacles in Nanjing. However, the foundation of the Yuan family is in Beiyang, and once it arrives in Nanjing, it does not respond well to Beiyang, just like a tiger losing its minions. Just imagine, how can a tiger, lose its claws and be put in a cage, and hurt people? Compared with the fanfare of fighting tigers, is this method of dealing with it more suitable for our current country? ”
"From the small station training to the 100-day change, every time my country undergoes a major change, Yuan Weiting will definitely get a benefit. Even Ge Ming was seen by him as an opportunity to seize personal power. Our comrades, in his eyes, are bargaining chips in negotiations with the country. I can see these things, but I can't help it. Objectively, our strength is really not enough to shake the Beiyang, so we can only adopt some compromise measures. However, Yuan Weiting was just an old-school official, with no new ideas and knowledge. In a true cabinet system, we rely on laws, institutions, and popular sentiment as barriers, and we can achieve both the cooperative system and the goals we pursue. ”
Chen Wuwei couldn't help but nod his head when he listened, "Mr. has a high opinion, and he is not as talented as one ten-thousandth of what Mr. has learned." In this arrangement, whether the Yuan clan is ambitious or not, it cannot cause harm to Ge Ming, and our plan can always be achieved. ”
"Yes, the foreigners want to see our civil war, see us divided, and take the opportunity to weaken us. But we can't be a foreigner, and after the peace between the north and the south, the alien rule of the Wanyan clan will come to an end, and our country, which has been dark for hundreds of years, can finally see the light. ”
Chen Wuwei's heart was surging, he couldn't help himself, and couldn't help shouting: "Follow Mr., long live together!" ”
In Zhao Guanhou's new house, Chen Lenghe snuggled in Zhao Guanhou's arms and asked reluctantly, "You are leaving so soon?" I have my own wedding, why can't I have my own honeymoon? Now in Songjiang, it is the time to make great achievements, the war is over, the people's livelihood needs to be restored, and all kinds of construction must be carried out. With your help to me, we will definitely be able to make a difference......"
"You can do a lot without me." Zhao Guanhou stroked her hair, feeling the softness like fine silk, "I have also paved the road for you, only the last step is the Restoration Society in Zhejiang." They are very powerful in Zhejiang, and they are very influential in the rivers and lakes and among the local gentry, I will sell a friendship to them, and they will repay you in the future, and it will be much more convenient for Zhengyuan to expand its business in the southeast. ”
"You...... Do you mean Chen Wuwei? ”
Zhao Guanhou sighed, "Li David was shot, they didn't do it beautifully, although the second brother said that he was definitely shot, but I didn't see the dead body, who knows if there is a problem here." Besides, David Li can't stand up to Chen Wuwei's tank, he is the mastermind, he won't die, and I can't get out of this breath, so I must get rid of him. If you want to do business in Songjiang in the future, I will directly kill you, and the impact will not be very good, but I will set up a bureau and hand it over to the people of the Restoration Society, as long as they are not too stupid, Chen Wuwei will not be able to escape. As for the aftermath, I have also arranged the way. The Liberation Club owes me a big favor, and for the sake of future friendship, I will definitely sell face to you, in Songjiang, you just have to let go of your hands and feet, and ensure that no one dares to trouble you. Whoever dares to provoke you, I will bring troops again and kill him!" ”
Zhao Guanhou's troops left in Songjiang have returned to Shandong by train one after another, and Zhao Guanhou has only one guard battalion left by his side, and it is indeed time to leave. Chen Lenghe also knew that it was useless to stay any longer, she was a decisive woman, so she would no longer force her to stay. just asked: "You said that Tang Yishao made things worse, how can you say it?" The peace talks between the north and the south, could it be that there are still changes? ”
"There is no change in the peace talks between the north and the south, and it is difficult for Lao Tang to say that he is too frivolous. Sun Dixiang was inaugurated as president, what about Yuan Weiting? He can't be a great good man and give the country to Emperor Sun, right? The current situation is that the north is stronger than the south, and this is a fact that no one can deny, and if the war continues, although the north will pay a heavy price, the south will definitely lose. The alliance under the city, the one who is strong wins. Sun Dixiang became the president, and it was strange that Yuan Weiting could be happy in his heart. As a special envoy to the north, Lao Tang did not fight for Yuan, and his starting point was to hope for the peaceful reunification of the north and the south as soon as possible, regardless of his position. But regardless of the position, Yuan Weiting ate too much and only came out of the mountain. Brother Tang has the ability, but it's a pity that he does things too foreignly, always from the perspective of the public, and doesn't think about selfishness, you don't want to learn from him. Put people in front first, so that he won't be beaten, and he can't even figure this out, he will make a big mistake this time. ”
"Besides, what is this temporary covenant, from a legal point of view, it is also a mess, and there will be trouble in the future. I can't spare Old Tang when I turn back. ”
"Then how will I contact the Shofu of the Dish Country in the future, and what position will I take to deal with it?"
"Of course, it's the businessman's position, he does his Ge Ming, you do your business, and you don't have anything to do with each other. Personally, I don't want you to get involved in Ge Mingli, the first is dangerous, and the second is to lose money. But if you have to do it, I won't stop you. The 500,000 yuan on the second sister-in-law's side, you recorded it in my account, although she said that she would mortgage all her net worth, just say it, don't really believe it, go through the motions, and I'll just go back and make up for it with my own money. In order to do Ge Ming, most of the Ge Ming Party went bankrupt by themselves. Sun Dixiang's elder brother was originally a very famous rich man, but in order to help his younger brother do Ge Ming, he went bankrupt. Huang Changjie's family property is also in Ge Mingli. I don't learn from them, I don't do stupid things like that, and I don't want you to do it. In life, glory and wealth, I am not a poor saint. Zhengyuan's purpose was to make money for Shandong and pay soldiers for military salaries. Of course, I won't stop you if you want to help. ”
Chen Lenghe laughed a few times, "When I was studying in Albiang, I did think about using all my strength to support Ge Ming. When you took me to the Zhang Yuan Congress a few days ago, I was also very excited, and my biggest dream was to meet Mr. Sun, shake his hand, talk to him, and ask him to sign an autograph for me. Talk with him about Ge Ming's reasoning and ask him for advice on how to save the country. But when I saw him in person, I felt that he was just a very good person, not the image of a god as I imagined. At that time, I also understood, and I deified him. God is meant to be worshipped, not seen. On the altar, incense is naturally burned, but when he arrives in the world and steps on the mortal dust, we see that he is a person, and that kind of awe is gone. Looking sideways at you, I think it's still my husband who is the best. So as you said, treat customers the way they do, operate according to the business model, and don't be their god of wealth or their enemies. ”
"If you learn to be smart, you deserve to be my good wife." Zhao Guanhou laughed, turned over, and pressed her under him, "I am very touched by what you said, come, let you see how good your husband is!" ”
The floats that went to the capital, in addition to Zhao Guanhou and Chen Lenghe, Meng Siyuan and his wife were also all included. As Zhao Guanhou expected, Tang Yishao, the plenipotentiary representative, hit a huge nail in Yuan Weiting. It passed the Organic Law of the Provisional Congress, but it was not recognized by Yuan Weiting, and Tang Yishao's signature was found to be invalid.
Tang Yishao's backers are mainly Yankees, but the Yankee Civil War is about to break out, and he can't afford to look east, and as soon as the people behind him go, his words have no weight. If the things you signed were not recognized, you lost face, and if you continue to talk, you will lose your face, and in a fit of anger, you will simply throw your yarn hat and resign.
Yuan Weiting immediately approved, and at the same time asked the southern provisional government to send people to the capital to negotiate. Wu Tingfang, as the foreign minister of the Provisional Mansion in the South, was a figure in the Zhangtong Shogunate back then, and in terms of identity and qualifications, he was above Yuan Weiting, and he was not willing to buy a fake talent account, but asked Yuan Weiting to come to Songjiang to talk in person.
Subsequently, Duan Zhiquan, Feng Yuzhang and other 48 Beiyang generals jointly sent a telegram to defend the constitutional monarchy to the death. The Northern Army, which had been armistice, was remobilized. At the end of the year, when merchants from the north and south were coming and going, the railway was blocked. The northern army detained cars and drove people away, hijacked wagons, and prepared for the southern expedition, and the situation was almost out of control.
If things are frozen here, they can only be negotiated in the open and behind the scenes. The strength and weakness are clear, and those who take the initiative to come to the door to reconcile can only be the Zhengfu in the south, and Meng Siyuan and his wife are the representatives of this secret negotiation.
The train carries the hope of peace and heads to the heart of the empire, and within the capital, all parties are also seizing the last time to fight for their own way out. Representatives of various forces frequently haunt and even hang the signboard of the Ge Ming Party, and they can also appear on the street in a grand manner, without worrying about arrest.
Fusang and Tiele had already begun to mobilize for war, and in Jiaozhou Bay, a Prussian fleet arrived from the mainland. A beautiful and heroic girl boarded the pier and looked around, thinking to herself: I have finally set foot on this land again, will you be happy to see me? My knight. (To be continued.) )
