"He's coming!"

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Tan Sitong silently lit a cigarette, in the past few years, as the governor of the Han military government, cigarettes and thick smoke have always been his best partners.

When he exhaled a puff of smoke, he once again looked at the front-page news in that newspaper -- "His Majesty Arrives in Nanchang for Inspection."

Finally, he came......

Closing his eyes, Tan Sitong thought of the conversation between the two when he said goodbye to him in the capital, and the scenes of the past couldn't help but emerge in front of him again.

"We are making a revolution now, and it can be said that we are weak alone, but if we can win Taiwan, we will use Taiwan to implement a new policy, and then build it into a rear base for counterattacking the mainland and rejuvenating our nation, and he will be able to recover our Chinese rivers and mountains one day!"

"Revolution is not a dinner party, in the face of the revolutionary wave, there are no centrists, only revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries, we welcome revolutionary comrades, as for the counter-revolutionaries, we must be completely defeated!"

"Resurrection, not my wish Now, since the Jiashen Heavenly Change, the Manchu Qing Dynasty stole my Central Plains for two hundred and forty-six years, as long as three hundred years, our people's blood, martial arts and even civilization have been cut off by it, unless it has gone through a storm, how can we restore China, how can we restore the blood of our race!"

"The revolution will be a national revolution that will sweep the whole country, not just a simple change of dynasty, not a family name instead of a family name! It is a national revolution and the rebirth of a nation! Back! ”

"You have to understand that this is a revolution! And we are revolutionaries! ”

We are revolutionaries!

But why did you betray the revolution?

It was at that time that your impassioned words led me down this path and made me a revolutionary, but why did you want to be emperor and betray the revolution?

"Teacher ......"

Looking at the frowning teacher who smoked, Jiang Tao's mood was extremely heavy, he knew, he knew the teacher's respect for Tang Haoran, the teacher had said more than once that the reason why he would join the revolution was largely because of Tang Haoran, it can be said that Tang Haoran led him onto the road of revolution.

But now, he has betrayed his teacher.

"We have 60,000 revolutionary troops! You often say that a spark can start a prairie fire, but now that Fujian is in chaos, we still have a chance, and as long as Fujian is liberated, we can burn the flame of revolution to the whole of China in the future......"

The student's words made Tan Sitong silent for a moment, and then he raised his head and said in an extremely calm tone.

"A spark can start a prairie fire...... Anting, do you know who first said this to me? ”

It's Tang Ziran!

Yes, many of his revolutionary theories originally came from Tang Haoran, and it was this half-teacher and half-friend relationship that made Tan Sitong so entangled, and it could even be said to be heartache.

After learning that Tang Haoran was proclaimed emperor, Tan Sitong fell into depression as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow, for him, he may be able to bear defeat, but he is unwilling to believe in the betrayal of his best friend, the betrayal of the revolutionary cause.

"I'm going to Nanchang to see him!"

Suddenly, as if making some major decision, Tan Sitong stood up violently and said in a resolute and unshakable tone.

"I want to question him personally why he betrayed the revolution! Why betray our cause! ”

Baihuazhou, East Lake, Nanchang, once upon a time, the small island in the lake that had written poems for countless literati has been decayed, until a few years ago, with the investment of millions of yuan from the China Education Foundation, the Jiangxi Library was built on the original dilapidated Gongyuan, and the trees were planted and the embankment was repaired, the lake mud was dredged, the pavilions and curved bridges were built, and the park was set up here, so that the Baihuazhou reappeared in the beautiful scenery of the old time.

Two days ago, the park was blocked by the military and police, and the provincial library was also temporarily closed, because of the arrival of the emperor, the beautiful scenery of Baihuazhou became the location of the palace.

"He'll come!"

Walking on the trail on the edge of the island, Tang Haoran said to Li Muchen beside him in an extremely calm tone.

"If you don't know him, he'll come and question me!"

With a helpless wry smile, Tang Haoran shook his head, time has passed!

"Your Majesty, if he refuses, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the empire, I think we must take some necessary measures!"

Li Muchen's suggestion made Tang Haoran slightly stunned, but he just walked slowly and silently, today is different from the past wearing army and navy uniforms, he is just wearing a black Hanfu today, he walked silently, but did not give Li Muchen any answer.

Although he did not answer, Tang Haoran knew very well that there were some things that he had to do as an emperor, even if he was unwilling, he must first consider the interests of the country, and there was no room for any chaos in China now, in fact, there was not much time for China.

Now that 1902 is coming to an end, and in two months 1903 is now, if the wheels of history follow its inertia, then in eleven years, World War I will break out, and what does this mean for the young Chinese Empire? There are only eleven years to devote to development, whether to get involved in the war or to use the war to make a fortune.

And in these eleven years, as the emperor, he must mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized to complete the industrialization of the country, and what is the premise of completing the industrialization of the country? It is the stability of the country, and it is necessary to maintain the stability of the country at all costs, which means that you must make some forced choices.

History will prove that my choice is correct, and history will give a fair evaluation!

"Will we be able to master the Civilian Army?"

Tang Haoran didn't give an answer, but asked directly about another thing, the People's Army! This is the foundation of Tan Sitong's foothold, or his greatest reliance.

Back then, Tan Sitong and his people's army were a dark chess piece that they used to tie up the pass, if the action in the pass was big, then they would fully support the people's army, but now it seems that this dark chess also tied himself.

"Your Majesty, in the People's Army, there are many students of Your Majesty, and all of them are truly loyal people!"

Li Muchen's answer made Tang Haoran nod silently, and then said calmly.

"I know!"

knew it, in fact, it was a release order for Li Muchen, but Tang Haoran would never admit it, but as his student and confidant, Li Muchen naturally knew how to figure out what he wanted.

"Where is Your Majesty going to meet him?"

"It's right on the lake! You go about arranging a ......"

When he went upstairs, Tan Sitong saw Tang Haoran sitting by the window in a Hanfu, and he was staring at Poyang Lake at this time.

"Resurrection, you're here!"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Tang Haoran, who knew who was coming, still didn't look back, but just said casually.

"Sit!"

"Yes, I'm coming!"

Tan Sitong strode to the table and sat down, and then directly picked up the teacup on the bed and took a sip of tea, the tea was fragrant, by no means ordinary tea can be compared, holding the teacup, looking out the window at the lake, the sun shone on the lake, flashing a little golden light. In the distance, patches of white sails were cruising, and a cloud of smoke could be faintly seen in the distance, which was the steamship sailing.

"What a peaceful world!"

Tang Haoran sighed, and then turned to look at Tan Sitong, after more than ten years of separation in the capital, this was the first time he had reunited with his old friends.

"Yes! Mountains and rivers are dying, and there is a Chinese land; The sun and the moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty. I heard that the first thing you did when you arrived in Nanjing was to go and worship the Ming Tomb of Xiaoxiao......"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Tan Sitong mentioned that the day after Tang Haoran arrived in Nanjing, he led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Ming Tomb to hold a grand ceremony.

"Well, Emperor Gao's merits lie in the nation, and all people in our country must remember it!"

A simple evaluation seemed to be extremely fair, but in Tan Sitong's ears, he just smiled slightly, looked at Tang Haoran and said.

"Emperor Gao is like this, and so is Brother I'm afraid!"

Politics has always been the butt to decide the head, the reason why Tang Haoran raised Emperor Gao to the position of "national righteousness" is actually to legitimize his power, Emperor Gao expelled Meng Yuan, and he expelled the Manchu Qing, the same great credit to the nation, the same right is unmatched!

Of course, Tang Haoran just laughed and didn't say anything, dealing with smart people, too many explanations, but it didn't make sense.

Tan Sitong did not continue to talk about this issue, but changed the conversation.

"What about Li Zicheng?"

"Sinners of the nation! If it weren't for Li Zicheng's selfish surrender and rebellion, how could the Manchus enter the customs and enslave our nation for more than 200 years! I have ordered the Sinner to be repaired in his hometown, and his name will be engraved on the card! For the eternal rebuke! ”

Tan Sitong was not surprised by this answer, while affirming one side, he had to deny the other, and for the leader, there seemed to be little middle ground.

"What about me?"

Finally, Tan Sitong's words brought the topic to the point, and he stared at Tang Haoran waiting for his answer.

"Resurrection ......"

Faced with Tan Sitong's question, Tang Haoran was silent for a moment, and in the end, he was still unwilling to face Tan Sitong's gaze, but looked at Poyang Lake outside the window and said slowly.

"The future fame of resurrection is all in oneself, and it is not up to me to decide!"

In a word, although he didn't say it explicitly, in fact, Tang Haoran had already revealed his determination, now that he is the emperor of the Chinese Empire, he must put the country first, and as for the personal friendship between the two, it is not within his consideration.

"Ziran, you've changed!"

A "me" made Tan Sitong's heart ache, he knew that all the friendship between the two had disappeared with the change of this claim.

"Come back to life, you've changed too! We've all changed! ”

"I haven't changed!"

Tan Sitong roared softly in a suppressed low voice.

"I've never changed, I've never betrayed our cause, I've never changed, it's you who have changed! You are the one who betrayed us! Betrayed our cause! ”

At this time, Tan Sitong's every word was full of questions and pain.

"No, I have never betrayed our cause, I said, I will bring down the Manchus, I have knocked down, I have spent ten years to accumulate strength, to awaken the people, do you know how many schools my China Education Foundation has run across the country? How many libraries and how many newspapers does the Yellow Soul Society sponsor? Do you think this revolution would have happened without the tens of millions of dollars a year to support it? I stole the fruits of the victory of the revolution, hum ......"

With a cold snort, Tang Haoran stared at Tan Sitong, the so-called "stealing the fruits of the victory of the revolution" was transmitted from the "National Daily" of the People's Army, and in that newspaper, he became a "careerist" and "conspirator".

"Without the concerted efforts of the whole of my Northeast and my help, how could the current nation be awakened......

Tang Haoran's defense made Tan Sitong try to interrupt him, but Tang Haoran didn't give him a chance to interrupt him at all.

"Resurrection...... Don't interrupt me! ”

Directly interrupting Tan Sitong's words, Tang Haoran continued.

"Not to mention who created the fruits of this revolution and who is the real creator, even now, if I am not the emperor, then what kind of government should China implement?"

"A republic can be established! Isn't the purpose of our revolution precisely to ......"

"It's to overthrow the Manchus!"

Straightforwardly didn't give Tan Sitong a chance to speak, Tang Haoran continued.

"And then? And what about after the republic? There are eight governors in the Guannai, and they will hand over their troops to the emperor, even if they are unwilling, as long as the emperor is strong enough, they will hand over the army, hand over the local power, and the local power will return to the central government, but what will be the situation if the republic is republic? ”

Staring at Tan Sitong, Tang Haoran's tone became more and more muffled.

"It's a republic, well, I might be president, okay, but don't forget, there are eight people in the local area who can become president, and since everyone can be president, what if I force them to surrender their army with my military might? They can continue to divide under the pretext of local autonomy, they can still fight against the central government, they can still be the emperor of the soil in their own circle, this is the republican ...... you want"

With a cold smile, history gave Tang Haoran a clear answer, the choice of Xinhai Nian, and the chaos that followed, had already given the answer.

"No, this, this is impossible, you can take back the military power, and you can also take back other ......"

"Take back the other? Not to mention others, it's you, the people in the Han Governor's Mansion are willing to give up power? ”

This rhetorical question seems to be a little damaging, but Tang Haoran knows very well what he needs to do now, what he needs is not to maintain the face of his old friend, what he needs is to fundamentally disintegrate Tan Sitong's psychology, which may be the only thing he can do as a friend.

"If it were a republic, I, I would be willing to hand over power......"

Tan Sitong did not hesitate to express his choice, he was not greedy for power, he was, and he is now.

"Are you willing to hand over power, those local officials you appointed, all the people in your Han Governor's Mansion willing to hand over power? Are you willing to hand power back to the Jiangxi provincial government? Are you willing to put your guns down? (To be continued.) )
