Chapter 67: The Surabaya Case (II)
. Chapter 275 Surabaya Case (II)
Many years later, according to some texts and materials compiled by the descendants of the Fang family, the article "The Biography of Fang Jianxiong" was recorded, revealing a mystery that had been sealed for nearly a hundred years. Almost all historians, before the publication of this book, maintained the view that Fang Jianxiong, the founder of the great Wehrmacht, had always been strongly hostile and wary of the Kuomintang leaders who had developed later from the League.
But in this book, it is written: "The ancestors rarely kept diaries, and all that was left behind were some experiences and insights that were written by hand. But what happened on this day, the ancestors wrote down their inner feelings in detail. The article said: Sun Yat-sen was the greatest revolutionary in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and Sun Zhi's revolutionary ideas led the revolution led by the rapidly developing new cultural elite unique to this era. In the face of such a character who must be called great, Yu has admired it for a long time, so it is difficult to calm down. However, revolution is destruction, and if we want to revive the great cause of our Chinese civilization, it is not enough to rely on revolution alone. When Yu Yu Sun was born in Si, he had the same goal, but he was moving in different directions. This can't help but be a big regret in life! ”
History is so unforgiving!
No matter how Fang Jianxiong felt about Sun, when Sun stood in the way ahead, the end was already doomed.
This is probably the logic of political figures, whether it is right or wrong, only about interests. What's more, Fang Jianxiong believes that he is right and stands on the highest point of national interests. Anyone, anything, as long as it gets in the way, as long as it does not cooperate, must be eliminated! It is necessary to give way. This is a hard heart that has been tempered in the past few years. For Fang Jianxiong. I don't have that much time to spend with you.
The Provisional Government is jokingly called the Cabinet of Vice-Ministers, and it makes sense. The scene was accompanied by a bunch of deputy ministers, as well as Hu Hanmin, the secretary general of the presidential office. Under Sun's introduction, Fang Jianxiong learned about the past one by one.
The last one was actually Chen Qimei, Fang Jianxiong showed a sincere smile, opened his arms and said, "Brother Yingshi." I haven't seen you in a long time. Before Chen Qimei could react, she was hugged.
So, history is frozen by the camera!
Amidst cheers. What a harmonious side that the people of Nanjing have seen! Fang Dashuai got into Sun's car and went all the way to the Provisional Presidential Palace, cheering all the way. There were constant attempts by people to rush onto the road, but they were blocked by soldiers.
Fang Jianxiong saw the enthusiasm of the people all the way, and Nanjing crowded on both sides of the road to cheer, and even stood on the rooftops on both sides of the road. The constantly dancing colored flags passed by the window, and Fang Jianxiong tried very hard to restrain his feelings, but it was always difficult to calm down.
"Fuguo, it seems that you are very popular with the people of Nanjing." Sun asked with a smile, but Fang Jianxiong shook his head and said, "I'm not worthy!" For this country, for this people, I have not done enough. ”
Sun heard this. I was speechless for a while. I could only silently look at the road ahead, and the cheers were still crazy.
In fact, Sun spent a lot of time to understand the process of Jianxiong's rise. Both sides were revolutionaries, but they chose different paths. After returning to China for three years, Fang Jianxiong has been silently accumulating strength. This is completely different from the way the League does it. Compared to Fang Jianxiong, the alliance will be too manipulative in many cases.
It's not that Sun didn't see this, but he did have difficulties. It was becoming increasingly difficult to raise revolutionary funds overseas, and years of revolutionary action were fruitless, and Sun's eagerness to achieve results was understandable. Sun was more interested. It's still Fang Jianxiong's military system. After returning to China, Sun has always felt helpless about the problems of the army, and it can be said that the most difficult thing is finance, followed by the army's control power.
The provincial armies, which appear to be united under the banner of the Provisional Government, are in fact completely different. The salaries paid by the Provisional Government were paid directly to the commanders of the troops, and the army was actually in the hands of these officers. The battle of the Northern Expedition, this point was particularly prominent. After Lin Shuqing was defeated in Zaozhuang, none of the troops was willing to continue to move forward, and even if Huang Xing went to suppress the formation, it would be difficult to change the situation. By the time Leng Shu and Tang Zhidao returned to Xuzhou, the tripartite talks had reopened, and the Northern Expedition was forced to stop.
The failure of the Northern Expedition was a big blow to Sun. Originally, I thought that the financial problem was solved, and the Northern Expedition was not a problem. But the reality was ruthless, and even if the financial difficulties were temporarily alleviated, the Northern Expedition would still be difficult to achieve the desired results. Back to the origin of the question, why is Fang Jianxiong invincible? Just equipment? Just troops?
Objectively speaking, Sun was able to maintain a strong appeal and great prestige in the historical stage of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. This person is a powerful character in his own right, but he is not ordinarily powerful. Compared with Fang Jianxiong, what Sun lacks is actually an insight into the general trend of history and a sufficiently obscene heart.
In the game term of an otaku, brother is a late-stage player, and he can't be obscene enough in the early stage, it's an ATM machine. The three-year period at the end of the Qing Dynasty was Fang Jianxiong's obscene period.
And at that time, what was Sun doing? Propaganda of the revolution, organization of uprisings. It did bring huge influence and enough prestige, but when the Qing family was overthrown, Sun was surprised to find that his own strength was the most reliable thing.
The car entered the presidential palace and the hustle and bustle was blocked out. The purpose of the trip to Nanjing was clear, and before the formal talks, Sun and Fang Jianxiong had a long, separate meeting in the office.
Qi Erzhu and his guard company were unexpectedly blocked on the periphery of the presidential palace. After going ashore, there were no trucks or horses on the part of the Provisional Government, and the guards had to go on foot.
Fang Jianxiong's guard company was the last to get off the boat, and when the whole team was in place, it was really dazzling. All green uniforms, steel helmets, big scalp boots, the most basic weapons are submachine guns, light machine guns, and in the last queue, there are actually 60 mortars and six snipers.
Such a procession, walking from the Shimonoseki Pier to the Presidential Palace, was silent along the way, only the sound of neat footsteps came out. The people along the way, when this guard company passed by, actually forgot to let out a cheer, completely shocked by the murderous aura they exuded.
In front of the guard company, there were always Nanjing soldiers leading the team, and the onlookers unconsciously subconsciously compared. The same are the guards, those who lead the way, those who ride horses, carry box cannons, and exchange a few words with each other from time to time, compared to these teams who cannot hear anything other than footsteps when walking.
When he came to the outside of the presidential palace, Qi Erzhu said powerfully: "Stand!" "All stood in order, as if they were one.
Behind a window on the second floor inside the gate, Huang Xing, Jiang Zuobin, Chen Qimei and others were all watching this scene.
"This is Fang Fuguo's capital!" Although Chen Qimei has such and such problems, this sentence is true. This is out of the emotion of Sun's die-hard loyalty.
"It's not just a matter of equipment, when the military department helped Liangbi reorganize the army and seize power, the equipment in the first town was the best, right? The 150 gun mark is unique. But so what? It's okay for the children of the Eight Banners to fight cocks and horses, let alone go to the battlefield, even on the training ground, it is also loose. When I saw it with my own eyes, my heart died. Jiang Zuobin didn't know what he was thinking, and he came up with such a sentence.
Surprisingly, there was no objection from outsiders. Huang Xing even agreed: "When I was in Hanyang, I witnessed the battle of the First Brigade. The First Brigade of the Anhui Army was mostly recruits, and when the Beiyang Army launched a counterattack, it could not fight the First Brigade of the Anhui Army. ”
"Isn't the Beiyang Army known as the stabbing technique to learn from the Japanese army? So many military instructors are Japanese, how can they not fight the Anhui army? "It was Lan Tianwei who made this sound, and after returning from Yantai, Lan Tianwei was temporarily idle and worked as a staff officer in the War Department.
Lan Tianwei is a non-commissioned officer in Japan, and he still agrees with the Japanese army's stabbing skills. How long has it been since Fang Jianxiong started the incident, how could he defeat the Beiyang veterans who had been fighting for many years?
"yes, I'm curious about that question too." Huang Xing sighed with emotion, changed his tone and said, "Let's leave it for later." The problem at hand, I don't know how Mr. Sun talked to Fang? ”
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate, but seeing that the guards at the gate were nervous, it seemed that something was wrong.
"Let's go and see, what's going on?" Huang Xing hurriedly explained, and Jiang Zuobin trotted out.
When Jiang Zuobin, who ran out, came to the gate out of breath, he saw Qi Erzhu with two soldiers confronting more than a dozen guards at the gate. Fang Jianxiong's guard company was all standing on the road, maintaining a neat formation and not moving.
"What's going on?" Jiang Zuobin stepped forward and asked, the guard officer at the door was a platoon commander, and hurriedly came over to report: "Report, this person has to come in, what is the commander of the defense side, and he also said that he is not worried about our ability." I didn't let him in, so I had to break in. ”
Qi Erzhu's words are a bit hurtful, what is the ability to worry. Jiang Zuobin was also very uncomfortable when he heard it, and stepped forward to endure his unhappiness and said, "Please wait a while, please believe in our ability to defend." ”
Qi Erzhu crooked his mouth and sneered: "I'm Dashuai's personal guard, can't even me go in?" Why do I think you're worried about us? "This seemingly honest guy is also very difficult to hear.
Jiang Zuobin hesitated, nodded and said, "A few of you come in and wait, the president is receiving Fang Jianxiong." ”
When Qi Erzhu heard this, he stepped forward and glared, "Do you have a kind of saying it again?" Reception, is there anyone in this world who deserves this word? Jiang Zuobin was not a coward, he glared back without concessions, and said angrily: "Mr. Sun is the interim president, why is he not worthy?" Qi Erzhu sneered, took off his steel helmet, rolled up his sleeves, and said disdainfully: "Bullshit president, I don't know if I haven't heard of it." I see that I am not convinced, right? Practice? ”
Qi Erzhu was deliberately looking for faults, coming all the way, and the front was led by a horseman, which was deliberately letting the guard company fall. When he arrived at the place and was not allowed to enter, Qi Erzhu was even more annoyed in his heart. (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. ).
