"Tonight marks the end of the general election, tomorrow, in our long history, China will make its choice, Heng Gu thinks that for the first time, the people of this land have themselves in charge of the destiny and future of this country, which symbolizes an end, but also a beginning; It means continuity and change. …… History will witness whether tomorrow will be bright or dark for China! ”

On January 30, 4602, Sun Yat-sen, who was standing by the window, looked at the newspaper in his hand, his whole face was grim, his face was gloomy, he looked at the newspaper in his hand, his expression was with a trace of sadness and indignation, and there was a little helplessness flashing between his eyebrows.

Not to mention how many voters there are in the country, but only 35,684 people support the republican election results, but while he feels sad and indignant that he has been "deceived into going abroad", what he feels the most is helplessness, a kind of helplessness as if he was disheartened.

This is especially true when he reads in the newspapers that he has received less than 10,000 votes for his candidate, most of which are from his hometown.

The fact that less than one-ten-thousandth of the country's citizens support the republic is like a slap in the face to him, and even some comrades, after they have gone abroad, have successively expressed their support for the imperial system, and what is more heart-wrenching than the betrayal of comrades.

Close comrades betrayed the revolution!

What was once a promise hides a bad heart!

The so-called overseas expeditions are nothing more than harboring evil intentions...... The door of the room opened, and in came a handsome young man of twenty-one or twelve, who, like Sun Yat-sen, wore a new black-and-gray dress, and who was Sun Yat-sen's secretary, Wang Zhaoming.

Before the liberation, Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Guangzhou, recruited 50 publicly-funded international students in Guangzhou to go to the accelerated course of the University of Political Science and Law. Qing Zhengaxe subsidizes 30 yuan per month for each public-funded international student. Wang Zhaoming was admitted to the public-funded international students this time, but failed to make the trip due to the recovery, and then recruited central civil servants in Nanjing, and then went to Nanjing to apply for the central civil servant examination.

Wang Zhaoming's use of the pen name "Jingwei" comes from the story of Jingwei's reclamation in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which contains the meaning of perseverance in the revolution. Wang Jingwei's articles are logically rigorous and sharp, and they have a great influence among young people.

After Sun Yat-sen returned to China, because Wang Zhao's inscription was quick-witted, good at speech, and had great organizational power and appeal, he quickly stood out and was appreciated by Sun Yat-sen and entrusted with reuse. Because the revolutionary parties at that time were all working separately and their forces were very scattered, Sun Yat-sen wanted to unite the revolutionary party after returning to China, so he urgently needed a secretary, so Wang Zhaoming became Sun Yat-sen's secretary, and this time he also went to the foreign country with his delegation.

"Sir, a telegram from China, the enthronement ceremony is scheduled for the fourth day of the first month, and the name of the country is the Chinese Empire!"

"Ji Xin, now the ship is holding a celebration!"

Standing on the windowsill and seeing the "Departure" anchored in Alexandria, at this time the departure ship was constantly displaying flowers, Sun Yat-sen asked, he did not want to participate in the celebration of "celebrating the beginning of the empire".

Three days ago, when the "national sports election" was over, the British [***] ships in Alexandria also fired a salute to the "Departure" in celebration, that is, on the day that the "Departure" sailed into Alexandria, Sun Yat-sen learned that the national sports election had begun, and he himself had decided to return to China to "run", and he chose to leave the delegation.

Although Zhang Feng, as the head of the inspection delegation, did not forget to provide him with 3,000 yuan for the passage according to the requirements of the ruling axe, he has been stranded in Alexandria for 18 days, and the last one will dock at Alexandria and sail for India.

And now? Before he could return home, the election was over. Forty-fifty million citizens have made their choice about the state system.

Looking at the fireworks launched by the "Departure" cruise ship in Alexandria, Sun Yat-sen sighed helplessly, what are they celebrating? Is it a celebration of China's return to the slavery of scholars?

Two months ago, when the "Departure" departed from Shanghai, he thought that the expedition would be fruitful, and when he wanted to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the republic and the imperial system to the students, the officials of the Ministry of Education politely refused on the pretext that the students needed to learn foreign languages.

After the ship entered Alexandria and saw the news of the "General Election of China's Founding Body" from the local newspaper, he finally understood that all this was a conspiracy from beginning to end, and even this delegation could be a conspiracy!

Sun Yat-sen, who was thoughtful, did not hear what Wang Zhaoming was saying, and only repeatedly remembered the sincere smile on his Prussian bearded face when he talked to the ruler, and from the beginning, he had deceived himself.

“…… On 31 January, as soon as the results of the national sports election were announced, the United States, Britain, Germany, Russia, and other countries sent congratulatory telegrams to give them formal recognition. Austria-Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland and other countries have officially recognized and said that he has moved his envoy to Nanjing. Today, the United States, Peru, and Brazil have announced their recognition of the Chinese Empire. ”

Eighteen days ago, on the "Departure", the national sports election was also held, and neither Mr. nor he participated in the vote, in Mr.'s opinion, this national sports election is "illegal", but who can change this fact now?

"Sir, now we have to admit the reality, I think Mr. should refund the ticket and continue to inspect with the group!"

Looking at the gentleman standing by the window, Wang Zhaoming put forward his own suggestion, and in the past two days, he has been persuading the gentleman to accept the facts and continue the investigation.

"Continue the investigation? This investigation that just separates me is a conspiracy in itself, is it necessary for us to continue singing this play? ”

Sun Yat-sen may not be angry if he doesn't mention the investigation, as long as he mentions this investigation, he is angry.

"Sir, less than 36,000 votes speak for themselves!"

"That's because I'm not in the country, if ......"

Only half of the words were said, Sun Yat-sen still stopped, even if he was in China, could he persuade tens of millions of people to support the republic?

"Sir, now that the people's wisdom has not been opened, we can only wait for tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow! Where is it tomorrow? ”

I am afraid that nothing can dampen a person's confidence more than the result of the vote, once he was full of confidence that his ideas will be supported by the people, but now? But the people used their votes to tell him what they would choose, even if it was the people of the republic who supported it, the president they chose was still Chen Moran.

"The opening of the people's wisdom is that tomorrow, when our party wins, I hope that Mr. can put aside his prejudices and concentrate on investigation, so that he can plan for the republican party after returning to China! He decided with the royalists in the National Assembly ......"

Although he is a young man, at this time, Wang Zhaoming put forward a suggestion that he thinks is the most appropriate.

"Sir, the ruling party lasts for ten years to implement the constitution, and the sir has to prepare for ten years, and the defeat today is expected, and ten years later, tens of millions of people will be educated, and the wisdom of the people will be opened, and our Republican Party must be respected by all the people, and today's children, he is all elected people, and my Republican Party will seek to win Congress, and it is the responsibility of Congress to change the national system, only to raise his hand."

Wang Zhaoming, who said this, was so excited that he even became short of breath, and he seemed to see the day when the national body was overhauled.

"The monarch is granted by the people, today he can be the king of the people to ascend the throne as the emperor, ten years later, how can we not use the will of the people to act as a republic, and then the success of the revolution will not be a one-time achievement!"

"Ten years! Decade...... Ji Xin! ”

Sun Yat-sen, who was moved by Wang Jingwei's words, looked at the young comrade in front of him in surprise, in the past, he only knew that he was quick-witted, but at this time he raised this young man to the position of military advisor.

"Ji Xin, tell me what you think!"

"Sir, no matter what, you have to admit the election results!"

Wang Zhaoming's voice was unusually loud in the silent night. His words were like a wooden stick striking a bell, and although the impact stopped, the sound always swirled in Sun Yat-sen's ears.

"Wang Zhaoming went to see Sun Wen?"

In a lower cabin on the Departure, a middle-aged man in a new uniform asked the young man standing in front of him.

"Yes, stationmaster, if nothing happens, he should be able to convince Sun Wen!"

"Continue to observe them, if there are any new developments, we must report immediately, at this time, there will be no tolerance for any chaos in the country, understand?"

"Well, these people."

After his subordinates left the cabin, Zhao Dianqin sighed first, picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip and sighed.

"They always think they can control everything, but they don't know ......"

From the very beginning, Sun Wen's every move was under the control of the Investigation Bureau, and even Wang Zhaoming, who was appointed by him as his secretary, had been developed into a secret agent by the Investigation Bureau a few months ago, and even what Wang Zhaoming wanted to say to Sun Yat-sen today and what he talked about was directly from Nanjing's instructions, and everything was planned.

Wang Zhaoming...... Well! It's a good pawn! ”

When the cup was brought to his lips, Zhao Dianqin smiled coldly, until now Wang Zhaoming dutifully informed Sun Wen of the situation to himself, if he can convince Sun Wen this time, he will definitely become the person Sun Wen relies on, no matter what kind of Republican Party they do at that time, or whether they do anything rebellious or chaotic, as long as everything is under control, Sun Wen will not be afraid!

"What a bunch of naïve people!"

Sighing in his heart, he cast his eyes on the bust of the ruling that hung on the bulkhead, and in a few days, the ruling will be enthroned as emperor.

"The fourth day of the first month!"
