Chapter 270: The Post-Yuan Era (4)
"So what role should you, as contemporary college students, play in this coming social change?" Wang Zhenyu finally got to the point after talking about a lot of social contradictions, and what made him happy was that unlike the beginning of the speech, the thinking of the teachers and students in the audience has obviously been driven by themselves, and they are all waiting for themselves to give them historical responsibility? It seems that the intellectuals are much easier to coax than the peasants. Coaxing peasants may also need a piece of land, while intellectuals often only need to give a great ideal and goal.
"First, I hope that you will become intellectuals and cultural people in the new era, you must have temperament and backbone, do not bend your waist for power, and you will become the backbone of the nation;
Second, the realization of the first party is not only to have a constitution and a congress, but also not only to have an army belonging to the country, let alone a simple multi-party system. The key is to rely on all the people to realize that they are feeding the government, not the government feeding them, and that they need to realize that their power needs to be defended by themselves, rather than relying on the kindness of a certain blue lord. When Yuan Shikai said that the emperor was engaged in restoration, didn't he put forward a point of view, saying that our Chinese people are not intelligent, and they are not suitable for the imperial system? So now, it is up to you, the new people who have ideas, culture, morality, and ideals, to open up the wisdom of the people and guide the trend of this era.
Third, what do we need to rely on for more people to link their vital interests with national interests? The traditional saying of Confucianism is to rely on the so-called edification, relying on the set of heaven and earth, that is, propaganda and brainwashing. Is this useful? Yes, but it doesn't work for a long time, because people always live in reality. Didn't Confucianism say it all themselves? Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. You have kept people in a state of being oppressed and exploited for a long time, there is no **, there is no hope of wealth and nobility, and whoever rules is the same, what is it that you make him patriotic? A regime dominated by a special class can exist, but it will not last long, and only when everyone can get their own interests from this country, then everyone will sincerely support and love this country. Only then will our country have centripetal force and combat effectiveness.
The fourth is the correction of mistakes, no one person, a political party can never be right, the sage of Confucianism is a legend, including when he Confucius and the old master also had dirty, Zhu Xi, who destroyed people and wanted to preserve heavenly principles, was not still picking ashes? So we must not have the idea that it is always right, absolutely right. ** is not absolutely correct, and it is itself a process of continuous correction and continuous improvement. We have all experienced the decadent Zhuanzhi era at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the worst form of government is a government that can no longer progress, a government that emphasizes the whole of origin, a government that restricts the development of the individual, and a government that is not bloodshed enough to change. Therefore, when we hate corruption, we must not blame the emergence of corruption on the personal moral problems of officials, but to see if there is something wrong with our system. Is our system in place? There are contradictions between different classes, whether our system can regulate these contradictions, and whether we can let everyone reconcile through civilized methods instead of bloodshed, these are the meanings of our taking the best road. But in the past few years, our ** has gone through, and it is clear that there is no ......"
The time was close to noon, and Cao Rulin, the representative of the Beiyang government, said angrily to the representatives of the other four parties: "Regional government? Are you going to set up a separate center? ”
Yang Yongtai proudly leaned back in his chair and said, "Mr. Cao can understand it this way, in fact, even if you Beiyang side don't agree, you can't change the situation that has been formed. To put it irreverently, the division between the north and the south is already irreversible, and no one can afford another war. For the livelihood of the world, it is better to divide and conquer. ”
Xu Shichang shook his head and said: "It's not good to split the country, deputies, now the Western powers are watching us from the outside, if we don't hold together and don't twist into a rope, how can we deal with this situation?" ”
Yang Yongtai laughed softly: "Didn't we also hold together under your Beiyang flag before?" But what are you tossing, the military and political officials sent out are all capable of desperate looting, and Yuan Shikai, the president, is even more busy restoring the imperial system. Shandong is lost, have you taken it back? Have you signed Japan's 21st Article, it seems that Zuihou's so-called four articles of the people were signed by Mr. Cao Rulin opposite, right? So it's not that we don't unite, it's that you don't fight for yourself. Now we have no intention of splitting the country, we just think that you are not in a good position to be in this family. And let's be in charge, I guess you don't want to, it's better for everyone to continue to maintain the brotherhood of this family and live your own little life. How can this request be unreasonable? Do you think so? ”
All the representatives praised him one after another, and Xu Shichang is also angry now, but his own army is not angry on the battlefield, so he naturally has no confidence to say cruel things here. He closed his eyes slightly, and simply stopped speaking.
He Xu Shichang is an old Beiyang, and if he doesn't say anything, he is naturally qualified, but Cao Rulin doesn't have this qualification, so he can only ask stubbornly: "Then I want to know what kind of division you have?" ”
Tang Hualong actually disapproved of this so-called method of separating the family in his heart, after all, there are no two days and no two people, so at this time he spoke: "Actually, I don't think it is appropriate to set up a national government, on the contrary, it is more reasonable to set up four patrol palaces." ”
At this moment, Li Yuanhong only had an army of three Hubei divisions in addition to the name of righteousness, and these outdated local armies did not dare to clash with Wang Zhenyu's Fifth and Eighth Divisions stationed in Wuhan. Therefore, Yang Yongtai ignored Tang Hualong's words at all, as the strongest one of the three southern parties, Yang Yongtai waved his hand and said: "This is not bothering, the three of us discussed it last night, each set up a regional government, and when the country is strong in the future, such a regional government will be revoked, which is not harmful to the unity of the country." On the contrary, we also hope that neither the north nor the south will engage in any military reunification in the future, let alone rely on the liliang of outsiders to do this, so although the diplomatic power is vested in the central government, please discuss the foreign affairs involving the autonomous regions, otherwise we will not recognize it. ”
This is to the effect that when you sell the country, you will sell your own share, and we don't need you to sell it.
The next time is the time to quarrel, Cao Rulin regretted that there were too few people on his side, after Xu Shichang became a bodhisattva, he was singing a one-man show, but he was not Zhuge Liang, and he didn't have the eloquence of the tongue battle group Confucianism, so there was only one word left, tired!
The talks on April 15 ended unhappily, and at Jinling Middle School, not far from the negotiation site, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were playing a friendly football match with the Jinling Middle School student football team, and finally the football team composed of senior officers of the Southeast Front Army defeated the Jinling Middle School student team with a score of 5:4.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi walked off the field in a stinky sweat, and then walked to the sidelines, and the orderly soldiers who had already had a good spirit brought the water over, and the two of them were busy panting after a few sips. Bai Chongxi said with some excitement: "Brother Delin, I remember that we also had a game with the football team of this school here in the year of the Xinhai Revolution, but at that time, the two of us were still students of the teaching team, and we were not qualified to play, so we could only sit on the sidelines and cheer for the big boss. ”
Li Zongren thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, time flies so fast, I still remember that the game was a draw, and Zuihou still scored the equalizing goal." ”
Bai Chongxi took a breath and said: "The latest order has come down, the Southeast Front has been revoked, the marshal has also arrived in Wuhan, and the whole of China will be reshuffled next." ”
Li Zongren seemed to hear Bai Chongxi's voice-over: "Jiansheng, listen to the advice of the eldest brother, our status today is given by the handsome, so we had better not have any other ideas, follow the handsome honestly, he can arrange how he wants, it doesn't matter, you yourself know that the handsome man is a person with clear rewards and punishments, so don't worry about it." In addition, I heard Liao Lei say that you are still holding a battalion commander under him, what's going on? Jiansheng, we are all generals now, and many times we must have a belly, not a small belly, and at that time, people would have emotions. A battalion commander, just punish according to military law, don't do things absolutely. ”
Bai Chongxi gritted his teeth when he heard this, and did not speak again......
"The future of China lies in you, in your younger generation, what we can do is to build a higher education institution here that radiates the entire central and southern region and can influence the whole country, and I have thought of the name of the school, National Wuhan University. We will continue to allocate funds, continue to expand the scale of the university, and continue to cultivate outstanding talents, so that it will become a research center for natural sciences and social sciences in China and Shijie. Please wait and see, Xiexie everyone! ”
Applause, warm, long-lasting applause, almost all the teachers and students stood up and applauded, at this moment, Wang Zhenyu is no longer a rude image of a martial artist in the eyes of these teachers and students, but more like a mentor and a wise man.
Wang Zhenyu did not talk about the idea of the National Wuhan University, and on the ship to Wuhan, he had exchanges with some officials in charge of education affairs, including Weng Wenhao. In Wang Zhenyu's view, after the European war, there will be a period of depression and fluctuation in the whole Europe, if China does not seize this opportunity to catch up, and then want to surpass it in the future unless there is a system advantage, but history is cruel and ruthless to prove that in the history of the following decades, the system of Europe and the United States is indeed the most superior under the current conditions of productivity. As for the Soviet Russian model, which will be born in a year, Wang Zhenyu has no interest at all out of painful memories of his family.
