Chapter 669: The New People's Party
"Brother Wen, I heard that you just came back from Europe and the United States, I don't know if there are any poems, we are all eager to wear them?"
Wen Yiduo was also full of smiles, took out a few poems from his purse, sent them to Zhou Shutao's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I heard that after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the French took back the two pieces of land in Alsace and Lorraine, which had been lost for decades, and I was very emotional in my heart, I don't know when the Chinese land will really return to the hands of the Chinese." I am going to write a poem for seven places, including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Guangzhou Bay, Luda, Weihaiwei, and Kowloon, which is called the Song of the Seven Sons. The country is in tatters, and the nation is bleeding! ”
Zhou Shutao flipped through the draft in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Brother Wen's talent is really rare in the world, the words are bloody, and every sentence is tears." But there is still a little problem, I want to remind Brother Wen. ”
After hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, if there is anything that is not in order, please give me some advice." ”
Zhou Shutao smiled and said: "How dare I point out the words, but I just want to tell Brother Wen that this song of the seven sons is about to become the sixth son, and one child is coming back!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Wen Yiduo suddenly stood up from his seat, his face was full of disbelief, and his voice trembled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, where is it going to return?" ”
"Luda."
Wen Yiduo frowned at first, then randomly showed ecstasy, grabbed Zhou Shutao, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhou, did the Feng army defeat the Japanese?" Is Luda coming back? ”
Zhou Shutao smiled and nodded: "There should be hope, we occupy the northern half of Korea, if the Japanese don't return Luda, we won't return Pyongyang, and then see whose losses are greater." ”
"Pyongyang? We all laid Pyongyang? The joy on Wen Yiduo's face became even stronger. When he returned home by ship, the Feng army and the Japanese had just started a war. As a result, he was adrift across the ocean during this time, and he had no idea about the situation of the war at all. At this time, when he heard Zhou Shutao mention the war, he suddenly looked disappointed.
"Damn it, I didn't even know about such a big thing!"
Zhou Shutao said with a smile: "It's not too late to know now, the Feng army fought from the Yalu River all the way to Seoul, eliminated five Japanese divisions, and knocked out the arrogance of the Japanese." Britain, the United States, and France have come forward to mediate, and the two sides have already sat down at the front of the negotiating table and are negotiating terms. Looking at this meaning, the Japanese should bow their heads, and the Luda and South Manchurian railways should be returned to China. ”
"Mr. Zhou, I'm not dreaming. If these two places were handed over to the Feng army, wouldn't the Japanese have swept away the shili in the three eastern provinces? This news is true in the end. Or is it fake? ”
Zhou Shutao also hahadaxiao: "Brother Wen." Do you think I can fool you with a fake news? ”
At this time, Wen Yiduo remembered that Zhou Shutao was not only the nephew of Zhou Xuexi, the God of Wealth, but also the cousin-in-law of Zhang Tinglan, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, and his news could not be more reliable.
Thinking of this, Wen Yiduo rubbed his hands excitedly, and couldn't help but say, "Fengjun is really good." With the strength of a corner, he actually defeated Oriental Japan, Lan Shuai can be called a one-handed mending sky, and there is hope for China's rejuvenation. I can take one back. Seven can be recovered, and sooner or later China will really stand up! ”
Zhou Shutao also said: "Brother Wen, in the past, I didn't have much confidence in the face of foreigners, but now the situation is different, the Feng army has defeated Russia and Japan, and its prestige has been greatly boosted. Today's three eastern provinces are like Prussia in Germany, and the hope of the country's rise and prosperity is just around the corner, which is really exciting. ”
"What Mr. Zhou said is really good, it is true that there are some similarities between China and Germany today, the country is divided, Germany has Prussia, Bismarck, and China also has the Northeast, and Lan Shuai, it is really immortal China!"
"Brother Wen, listening to your words, do you also agree with Lan Shuai's proposition?"
"Agree, of course!" Wen Yiduo said without hesitation: "Over the years, the Northeast has implemented a lot of new policies, and it has also been criticized a lot, to be honest, I can't fully understand it, but now the situation has been laid out in front of us, and the Feng army can defeat Japan, which proves that their approach is right, and it is the road to a strong country." As long as it is good for China, I will not hesitate to support it! ”
Zhou Shutao also smiled: "I have long known that Brother Wen is a person with a view of the overall situation, I want to invite Brother Wen to join the Kuomintang Party, serve as a propaganda officer, and contribute more to the country." ”
The Kuomintang? When he heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and he asked incredulously: "Mr. Zhou, isn't Sun Wen of the Kuomintang already falling out with Lan Shuai, most of the core backbones of the Kuomintang have been arrested, why do you want to form the Kuomintang now, where do you start?" ”
Zhou Shutao said with a smile: "This Kuomintang is no longer the other Kuomintang Party, not long ago, Tang Shaoyi, Cen Chunxuan, Wu Tingfang, Chen Jiongming and others jointly issued an initiative to reorganize the Kuomintang and establish a new type of political party that truly fights for the interests of China. The Kuomintang is the first more formal political party in China, and it has made great contributions in Xinhai, but there was a period of time during the period when it went astray, and now it is time to return to the right path. ”
Although Zhou Shutao only mentioned the meaning of Fengtian lightly, Wen Yiduo also keenly grasped it, and it seems that this reorganization has an inextricable relationship with Fengtian.
His guess was not wrong, after defeating Japan and Russia one after another, the general trend of the Feng army has been achieved, and it has become inevitable to win the Central Plains. But how to dominate the world, Zhang Tinglan also tried his best. The easiest thing is to form a huge army, and then directly push it flat and unify the north and the south.
This seems to be the most direct and easy, but there are many troubles, first of all, a large-scale civil war, which has a very large loss to the country. In addition, the talent composition of the Fengjun is mainly concentrated in the north, and if the army in the north is used to unify the world, the north is bound to have an absolute advantage, and how can the long-standing differences between the north and the south be eliminated?
Moreover, Zhang Tinglan can make drastic reforms in the three eastern provinces, because the three eastern provinces themselves are a blank sheet of paper, and the resources are rich enough, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. But when I arrived in the Central Plains and in the south of the Yangtze River, all kinds of shili were intertwined and involved in all aspects. How to promote reform, how to completely change China. These are the biggest challenges.
At present, the industrialization of the three eastern provinces is still in the sprint stage, and once the Feng army controls the whole world, it is inevitable to expand the scope of industry, but this will dilute the input, and even affect the investment in some key projects, and affect the speed of the Feng army's sprint.
If it had been ten years earlier, Zhang Tinglan would not hesitate to choose to dominate the world, and then rely on a strong administrative liliang to promote industrialization throughout the country. But times are different now. The time left for the Feng army to sprint was very limited, and if they wanted to make a difference in World War II, they had to concentrate financial resources and develop the three eastern provinces.
Industrialization is not about the more people the better, but actually depends on the labor capacity of the population and industry. In the long run, of course. Industries are becoming more complex and require more and more labor. China's huge demographic advantage. It is the biggest capital to return to the peak of shijie.
But before World War II, there were no industries, and a population of about 70 or 80 million was the most ideal state. Hence before World War II. The most powerful industrial country is Germany. As for the United States, although it surpassed Germany in terms of total population, it was unable to fully utilize its huge population, which caused the great crisis of 29 years.
Reunification is inevitable, but it cannot be followed in accordance with the model of the three eastern provinces. This has also become Zhang Tinglan's biggest problem. After some careful consideration, Zhang Tinglan finally came up with an idea, that is, to use a model similar to the confederation to unify China.
Eliminate foreign shili, ensure national unity, and then gradually weaken local shili and return power to the central government. At the same time, it will use the Northeast as a base to export industrialization, so that China will completely enter the industrial age. This has the advantage of eliminating civil wars, and it allows for gradual reform and reconciliation of the interests of all parties to ensure that the future government is balanced.
Of course, it is still very difficult to achieve this goal, and if it weren't for the experience of a traverser, Zhang Tinglan wouldn't dare to try it at all. Of course, to engage in confederation is not really to divide the country, but also to have a strong bond, that is, the liliang of political parties, to organize all society.
Zhang Tinglan originally had plans to start anew, but there were not many people around him who could do this job, so Zuihou still contacted Tang Shaoyi, and then Tang Shaoyi put forward a proposal, that is, to reorganize the People's Party.
Tang Shaoyi put forward three advantages of reorganizing the KMT, the first is that the KMT was founded early and has great influence, especially in the south, and its popularity is very high; Second, the reorganization of the Kuomintang can avoid stimulating the powerful factions in Beiyang and the local areas, and is conducive to peaceful reunification; The third is that at this time, Sun Wen, Wang Zhaoming and others had already arrived in Japan, and the pro-Japanese faction in the Kuomintang had disappeared. The last action was a catastrophe for the KMT, but it was also a new life.
After all, most of the middle and lower strata of the Kuomintang Party, as well as some of the elders, really want the country to become a haode, but the strategy is somewhat controversial. But now that Feng's military victory has proved it right, the argument has become worthless.
Originally, the Kuomintang was a loose organization, and there were many people who supported Zhang Tinglan's ideas, so it happened to organize these people and completely pull them to Zhang Tinglan's side, even if Sun Wen could return to China one day, all the party members would disappear.
After repeated considerations, Zhang Tinglan finally agreed to Tang Shaoyi's proposal, Tang Shaoyi was the prime minister, and he had connections in the north and south, he first contacted Wu Tingfang and Cen Chunxuan, and then found Chen Jiongming, they were connected with each other, and the original Kuomintang veterans were also found, such as Zhang Lan, such as Wu Yuzhang, Xie Zhi, Zou Lu, Lin Sen and others.
At the same time, Zhang Tinglan also instructed the Zhou family to let them help, with the rise of the Feng army, the Zhou family has long pinned the rise and fall of the family on Zhang Tinglan. The reorganization of the Kuomintang is to pave the way for Zhang Tinglan to seize the highest power, how can they not be active.
The Zhou family also ran around in the north, recruiting troops and buying horses, and at the same time contacted the backbone of the Kuomintang one by one, such as Hu Hanmin, such as Liao Zhongkai, such as Deng Yanda, such as Chen Mingshu and so on.
In addition to the Zhou family, Gu Hongming and Zhang Taiyan also came out, and they took the initiative to help contact academic celebrities and absorb those true patriots and real doers.
In fact, not only these people, Liang Qichao also joined in, he originally formed the Progressive Party, which is very demanding politically, but with the early death of Cai Yi, Liang Qichao has lacked military support and has become very embarrassed.
At this time, the Kuomintang was reorganized, and he also asked to join in, in fact, to put it bluntly, he was still optimistic about Fengjun, a super potential stock. Zhang Tinglan originally thought that the reorganization would encounter many difficulties, and it would take a lot of energy just to settle the people from all walks of life.
However, I did not expect that it would be so smooth, and the understanding of the North and the South and all walks of life would really unite together, and the influence of the new Kuomintang would far exceed that of the past. And not only in the south, but also in the north, northeast, and even in the northwest, there began to have a large number of members, and a national, huge political party finally took shape.
can have such an effect, in fact, it is also inevitably related to the halo on Zhang Tinglan's head now. The defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War was too deep for China, and even in later generations, this wound was constantly bleeding.
The small country that has been crawling at the feet of China has suddenly jumped on top of China's head, and this gap is unacceptable to anyone.
Now that the Feng army has relied on a hearty victory, it has washed the pain in the hearts of the people, Zhang Tinglan's status has been in full swing, and any political figure and group has no choice but to cooperate with Zhang Tinglan.
Zhang Tinglan originally thought that forming a party was a troublesome matter, but in less than a month, he already had an eyebrow. On the contrary, the peace talks with Japan have fallen into a predicament.
At first, the Japanese were very arrogant, demanding that the Feng army must stop military operations, and voluntarily retreat to the pre-war area and return the prisoners, and these unreasonable conditions became the premise of the Japanese negotiations. However, Zhang Tinglan did not agree to anything, and sent bombers-for-tat to bomb the port of Incheon.
The Japanese, who were beaten, finally became a lot more honest, and Britain and the United States also joined forces to exert pressure, and the two sides finally sat down at the negotiating table, but the gap between the conditions of the two sides was too great. The Feng army demanded that the Japanese Shili completely withdraw from the three eastern provinces and hand over the Manchurian Railway and the Brigade Daquan to the Feng army.
And also demanded the right to station troops in Korea, and the Japanese were to compensate for the loss of military spending. However, the Japanese were unwilling to retreat, and Gu Weijun and Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida fought for a thick neck, and there was no result.
On this day, Zhang Tinglan was in the office, Gu Weijun suddenly came over angrily, and as soon as they met, he said: "Dashuai, two days ago, the Japanese had relented and promised to return the Luda, but today they threw out the statement that sovereignty was returned, and the Japanese side wanted to retain the right to govern, and threatened us that if we did not agree, we would withdraw from the negotiations." ”
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he suddenly stood up, sneered and spit out four words: "Wishful thinking!" (To be continued......)
