Chapter 68: The Surabaya Case (continued)
Fang Jianxiong and Sun's conversation was not very smooth at the beginning. Why? Sun Ming knew Fang Jianxiong's intention, but he did not mention the Surabaya case at all, but mentioned Beiyang first.
"You and I shed blood revolution, although Yuan Shikai forced the Qing Dynasty to retreat, his essence has not changed. Now that the Qing family has abdicated, Yuan Shikai has been reluctant to go south to take up the post of president, which shows his heart. To support the country, Yuan Shikai could not be allowed to stay in Beijing in peace, and stole the fruits of the victory of the revolution. Sun's opening remarks were sincere in tone and heavy in expression. It can be seen that this matter has been bothering him, or that Sun is in a kind of gain and loss.
The reorganization of the Northern Expeditionary Army can be said to have not gone smoothly, and people from all walks of life asked for money and weapons, but they refused to hand over their military power and accept the reorganization seriously. At this stage, only Li Liejun and Leng Shu publicly stated that they supported the reorganization of the Surabaya case in Chapter 68 (continued), and Tang Zhidao did not oppose it, but resigned and left. Gu Zhongchen of Jiangsu, Zhu Rui of Zhejiang, Lin Shuqing of Zhenyangjun, and Yao Yuping of Guangdong did not oppose reorganization in language, but in fact they held on to military power. Chen Qimei simply resorted to force to solve the problem of reorganization, Huang Xing objected, and Sun could only give up.
The Northern Expeditionary Army in Xuzhou was still like this, and it was even more difficult to reorganize the armies of other provinces. The War Department demanded that they be disarmed, and the decree of the Central Committee of the Provisional Government on financial support became a dead letter, not to mention the remote provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, and Yunnan, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which were close at hand, were all in defiance of the law.
The one who got the big ocean flower in his hand called a fast, but the effect was very poor. That's the dilemma Sun is facing. The military and political power in the provinces is in the hands of some warlords. Under the banner of the Provisional Government, let them send troops, and some ruffians and hooligans came, and they couldn't afford to have guns. asked for money, let alone nothing, and even reached out to the provisional government to ask for money.
Tong Guò Fang Jianxiong got the 10 million, and now it is almost spent, and Sun wants to go on the Northern Expedition again. The military salary will definitely not be paid. United Fang Jianxiong, this is the way that Sun Jian thought of when he had no way out.
Fang Jianxiong was noncommittal to Sun's opening remarks, there is no third party here, Fang Jian's Chapter 68 Surabaya Case (continued) Xiongxiong waited for the following with a blank face. Sun sighed secretly in his heart and continued to speak.
Sun talked about his political ideals, and he was very skilled in these things, what kind of equal land rights, what kind of democratic republic. What is the right to collect the country.
Fang Jianxiong has been listening to him very calmly, this is not to say that people are the same as the sun. Rather, I want to see Sun's political thinking and his ability to govern the country. It's a pity that Fang Jianxiong didn't hear much of Sun's actual policies in governing the country, and it was all some theories and some metaphysical things. For example, if you want to average the land rights, how to equalize, I didn't say. If we want to support industry, we should give some policies. And then it was gone.
Sun said for more than an hour before Fang Jianxiong took advantage of him to drink water. He coughed and said, "President, I agree with many of your ideas. For example, the resumption of national power. There are some ideas that I don't dare to agree with, such as equal land rights, how do you want to do it? ”
When it comes to how to do it, Sun is stuck, this was originally shouted as a slogan. If you really do it, you can imagine all kinds of difficulties. China's thousands of years of feudal dynasties did not solve this problem, after the modern industrial revolution in the West. Still hasn't solved the problem.
Fang Jianxiong had a way, but he didn't dare to use this method. Equalizing land rights is naturally to take the landlord as a knife. The question is, how does this landlord judge? Is it necessary to have thirty acres of land at home, as in history, and be wiped out as a reactionary class? Objectively speaking, if this is done, the peasants of China will be able to stand on the side of the regime that has done so. It's a pity that Fang Jianxiong shuddered when he thought of the idea of class elimination, let alone actually operate it. Then the only way left is to be moderate internally, and to take the road of military expansion externally. At least in the short term, the only way to solve this dead knot of land is to try the road of immigration to the northeast. The problem is that in order to do so, Fang Jianxiong must first obtain state power.
As for the Surabaya case, Fang Jianxiong's purpose is very clear, to brush up his reputation. By the way, we took advantage of the weak effect of the Netherlands to strive for a better living environment for overseas Chinese. Fang Dashuai's history is not good, which does not prevent him from seeing this paragraph from some YY novels. As for sending troops to Java, it is estimated that the Netherlands will not be able to bear the succumb if it is forced to really put on the posture of sending a fleet.
"It's a problem that has bothered me for a long time." Fang Jianxiong gave a step down in time and continued: "The main purpose of coming to Nanjing this time is to establish a Republic of China, and then solve the case of Surabaya under the same banner. President, overseas Chinese are overseas, and they are miserable. The Republic of China is imminent, and if we don't support them, how will we face the people of the whole country in the future? ”
Saying that, Fang Jianxiong paused, and Sun took over and said: "Wen has ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with this matter, and the Netherlands will reply within a week. The three-day saying of supporting the country is afraid that it will be too hasty. ”
While he was talking, the door was pushed open, and a Wang Chonghui rushed in like a whirlwind, dancing with a telegram in his hand, and said angrily: "The overseas Chinese in Surabaya called, and the Dutch army rounded up day by day, specializing in the arrest of overseas Chinese in Guangdong, which has reached more than 2,000 people. ”
Sun was stunned when he heard this, his face was angry, and he slapped the case fiercely. Fang Jianxiong stood up seemingly calmly and said indifferently: "Does the media know about it?" Wang Chonghui nodded subconsciously, Fang Jianxiong put on his hat, straightened his military uniform, and nodded at Sun: "President, since you advocate postponing this matter, I think I should do something." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and went out, and along the long corridor, there was a crisp sound of footsteps, and he disappeared around the corner under the gaze of his stunned eyes. There were many people in the hall, including officials from various departments, attachés of Youfang, and many reporters from the media who were stopped and waited by soldiers on the periphery. Everyone was the first to know about Surabaya, and at this moment they were talking about it, and the crowd was stirring.
Seeing Fang Jianxiong come out, everyone was a little surprised, why did they come out alone. The scene was quiet at this moment, but the reporters reacted quickly, and some reporters rushed forward first, but were quickly stopped by the soldiers. However, the reporter still shouted: "General Fang, I am ......." "When someone speaks, reporters keep shouting and asking questions.
Fang Jianxiong looked around, and finally walked slowly towards the gate, in front of these media reporters. The officials and sages along the way subconsciously gave way, and Fang Jianxiong passed through the crowd with an expressionless face, and raised his hand when he stood in front of a group of reporters. The reporters pressed their chests like boulders, holding their breath and waiting for Fang Dashuai's statement.
"Friends from the media, on behalf of the entire National Defense Forces, I would like to make the following two statements on the arrest of our Surabaya expatriates by the Dutch colonial government. First, with immediate effect, the safety of the lives and property of all Dutch expatriates in the defense areas of the Wehrmacht will be protected by the Wehrmacht. Second, from now on, any Dutch person or ship that enters the Wehrmacht's defense zone will be regarded as espionage. Third, within a one-week deadline, if the Dutch government fails to come up with a satisfactory handling opinion for the overseas Chinese in Nanyang and implement it, the combined naval and land task force of our national defense forces will send troops to Java. In order to accomplish the purpose of armed protection of the rights and interests of overseas Chinese and for the dignity of the Chinese nation, the Wehrmacht will not hesitate to ,......。 the Dutch Government At this point, Fang Dashuai paused, and in the heaviest tone and the most angry tone, he roared loudly: "Declare war!" ”
The word "declaration of war" exploded like thunder over the Nanjing Presidential Palace!
This is the strongest voice of the Chinese nation since the Xianfeng year! Of course, some people will compare Fang Dashuai with the Empress Dowager Cixi in Gengzi Nian, and the conclusion is not difficult to come to a conclusion. One is an idiot who is fierce and inward-looking to challenge the Eight Kingdoms, and the other is an invincible general, a strong general under his command, who issued a cry to save overseas Chinese.
The former, in a hurry, fled west! The latter shows the confidence and courage to fight to the death for the dignity of the Chinese nation.
The flash began to flash after a short pause, and Fang Jianxiong stood in front of everyone with a expressionless face, his eyes slightly closed! After a while, after the light adapted, he raised his hand and signaled: "Everyone, please let go, I will rush back to Wuhu immediately and hold a military meeting!" ”
This year's reporters still have relatively strong professional ethics. No one was stalking, all with an admiring heart, with the most respectful eyes, looking at the young general, and taking the initiative to give way to a way.
The confrontation at the gate of the courtyard was interrupted by a sudden scene inside. Qi Erzhu saw the commotion inside, and suddenly became anxious, took out his pistol and shouted angrily: "Brothers, someone wants to be unfavorable to the handsome, do it!" Kill in and save the handsome! With a shout, the guard company sitting on the ground on the side of the road instantly dispersed, and in less than three minutes, a battle formation unfolded.
"Stop, do you want to kill Fang Jianxiong?" Jiang Zuobin was quite clever, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he shouted. Looking at the guards at the door, they were all stupid. In fact, Jiang Zuobin was also afraid, suddenly more than 100 guns were pointed at him on the opposite side, the bolts were pulled, and there were two small cannons, a few carrying rifles, were quickly rushing to the roof, and the movements were more dexterous than monkeys.
This is still very effective, Qi Erzhu raised his hand to signal the back, and sneered: "Let me enter to accompany the handsome!" Seeing this, Jiang Zuobin flashed to the side helplessly, and at this time Qi Erzhu also realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment, because the front gate of the building inside was full of reporters or something.
"Dismiss the alarm!" Qi Erzhu explained, strode inside with two guards, and the guard company outside, in the sharp whistle, quickly resumed the queue. Jiang Zuobin raised his hand to wipe his cold sweat and hurriedly chased back.
Before Fang Dashuai took the first step, a shout came from behind him: "Fuguo, wait a minute!" ”
Fang Jianxiong stood and turned around, but saw Sun Yat-sen stepping forward like the wind and said, "After urgent consultation with the military department just now, it was decided to send all the navy to cooperate with your department in battle. The specific details will be discussed by you and me. ”!!!
