Chapter 98: Qin Yu's Insights
"The Qing Dynasty will be finished sooner or later, but I have my own opinion on how to fall down." Qin Yu shook his head and said.
"Oh? Brother Yuchen might as well say it directly. Lan Tianwei said with some surprise.
"I myself am not averse to your revolution, and even have a certain degree of identification. But this does not mean that I will support your actions, except for the new army, some people of all religions and various cultures are flooding the revolutionary ranks, who can guarantee that everyone is sincere in the revolution, and who can guarantee that after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, these people can be coordinated under the same order? I'm afraid that even Sun Yat-sen, the leading figure of the revolution, could not do it. The revolutionary party started out by relying on the association party, and it itself has a certain gang nature. The organization is loose and unreliable. The revolutionaries in the provinces are not single-minded in the revolution, but have their own minds, and now the Qing Dynasty is not over, most people can still have the same goal, but once the Qing Dynasty falls, the true colors of those who strive for power and profit, and those who take advantage of the opportunists will be undoubtedly exposed. ”
"Except for Japan, the Great Powers have little affection for your revolution, let alone actual support. Even if the Qing Dynasty falls, the local officials will not be able to remove them in a short period of time, and these officials will regard you as a chaotic party. The common people have no idea about the idea of revolution, and in terms of military strength, they are far worse than the government army. It can be said that the present revolution is entirely initiated and supported by a small number of intellectuals and party figures. You don't have the support of most of the army, and you don't get the support of the great powers. Not to mention the general public's understanding, so many unfavorable conditions combined, I can't figure out what reasons you have for success. ”
Lan Tianwei stared at Qin Yu with dead eyes, thinking that Qin Yu was just a radical official, with strong strength under his command, the four thousand cavalry, in addition to not being equipped with artillery, were all water beaded rifles, which were even stronger than his second mixed alliance, not to mention the four thousand war horses. In particular, the act of daring to take off the official hat and burn the corpse during the plague is equivalent to saving the entire three eastern provinces, and the reputation that Qin Yu has saved in recent years is far above Lan Tianwei and Zhang Zuolin.
"But now the Qing Dynasty has reached the end of its rope, and the provinces that have declared independence in the south of the Yangtze River in Guannai are one after another, and everyone can see that revolution is the trend of the times."
"The Qing Dynasty will definitely end, but after the Qing Dynasty is over, who will lead the whole country and govern the whole country, I have a different opinion, it will not be a revolutionary party, the revolutionary party may lead an army, and there may be people who can lead a province, but if you want to say that you can govern a country, I don't believe it, I'm afraid that you yourself can't pick out the right people. Even Sun Yat-sen, the leader of your revolution, is somewhat bookish. To be honest, not suitable for governing the country. "Qin Yu is so neat and authentic.
"According to Brother Yuchen, in your opinion, who can lead a country in the current situation?" Lan Tianwei asked.
"It's not me anyway, let's wait and see." Qin Yu didn't say anything about Yuan Shikai's imminent resurrection, and made a stand with Lan Tianwei for the time being, in fact, Qin Yu is very optimistic about Lan Tianwei, has experience in leading troops, is decent, and is a returnee. The second mixed association brought out was Qin Yu, a later person, who saw it and was full of praise.
In contrast, Jiang Fangzhen, who was famous in later generations, was also in Fengtian City at this time, but Qin Yu thought that Jiang Fangzhen was more suitable for military education, and when it came to military affairs, he was only afraid that he was a little inferior to Lan Tianwei. It would be a great thing if we could recruit these people into my subordinates in the future.
At this time, Zhang Zuolin took the lead in Fengtian City, and took the lead to gain Zhao Erxun's trust, controlled Fengtian Provincial City, and occupied the right time and place. If he can pull the second mixed association over, Qin Yu will be able to suppress Zhang Zuolin in absolute strength, but he is too deeply involved with the revolutionaries, and he is afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Yuan Datou in the future, because Qin Yu is not easy to do now, and he will not make a revolution with Lan Tianwei.
"Okay, it's not in vain to have a good conversation with Brother Yuchen today, as long as you are not a fool of the Qing government, we will still have the possibility of working together in the future." Lan Tianwei thought for a moment and said with a smile, Qin Yu just didn't agree that the revolutionaries were too mixed, since he was also in favor of the collapse of the Qing government, he would not be an enemy. Moreover, what Qin Yu did in Taonan can be seen that Qin Yu is a pragmatic person, and Lan Tianwei is also quite admired.
"The end of feudal autocracy is of great significance to China, but how to go behind the road, no one knows the bottom of their hearts now, maybe you are right, this matter is not certain. But no matter what, Fengtian City can't be messed up, what does Brother Ji Hao think? Qin Yu asked, there are many radicals in the revolutionary party, if a chaotic battle continues, Fengtian City, an ancient city of hundreds of years, will not be destroyed, which Qin Yu is not happy to see.
"Brother Yuchen's words have come to my heart, if I don't want Fengtian City to be destroyed in the war, and the lives of the people will be ruined, I can take Fengtian City long before Zhang Zuolin arrives, even if Zhang Zuolin arrives, I can defeat the old army patrolling the city before you come." Lan Tianwei didn't see the slightest regret on her face.
"Right and wrong have their own opinions, even if some of you think that you have missed a good opportunity, in the next few decades, there will be people who say that your brother Ji Hao is not ordinary, and he saved the lives of thousands of people. As long as the place is not destroyed, no matter who gains power, what is retained is the vitality of the nation. Qin Yu said approvingly.
"There's nothing wrong with me here, in case Zhao Erxun and Zhang Zuolin take the lead, how can Brother Yuchen deal with himself?" Lan Tianwei asked.
"I just don't help them. Zhao Erxun is a little stupid and loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but Zhang Zuolin is not stupid, without my support, he will not do it easily if he does not have an advantage, even if Zhao Erxun wants to do it, there are no soldiers under him, what tricks can he play. Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Go to the German consulate." After having a meal with Lan Tianwei, Qin Yu came out and took the guards directly to the German Consulate in Mukden.
Tiggs was very surprised by Qin Yu's arrival, "Lord Qin, I didn't expect you to come to me as a guest, it's really unexpected." ”
Tiggs's Chinese still needs to be strengthened, and Qin Yu listened a little funny, "Why, isn't Consul Gegers welcome?" ”
"Welcome, of course welcome, if it weren't for Lord Qin, I would be afraid that I would still hide in the consulate to avoid the damn plague and dare not go out." Tiggs said, "Lord Qin, you are really an upright and brave official, which is very rare in your country. ”
"When there is danger, someone always has to stand up and talk about business, and this time I came to Mr. Tiggs because I have something to discuss, a big business." Qin Yu said, "I heard that your country's machinery and equipment are very famous in the whole of Europe, and I also came here to admire it." ”
"Oh? What kind of big business? Tiggs asked.
"A set of steel-making equipment, the output of steel can reach 50,000 or 60,000 tons a year, I have an iron mine in Benxi, and now I can only produce iron every year, and it is inevitable that there is an iron ore that cannot make steel." Qin Yu said, the situation is not very stable this year, Qin Yu used to worry about when the governor would interfere with production, but now Zhao Erxun himself is difficult to protect, Qin Yu's actions on Benxi's side are no longer a threat except for the Japanese who are always greedy.
