Sun Yuanqi said: "That's right. If Yuan Xiangcheng is allowed to do anything wrong, today's Kuomintang will be tomorrow's New China Party! Of course, the poor people must have something to hate, and we don't have to cover up the Kuomintang too much, because they are also to blame for falling into the land they are today, and they should be punished a little to set an example. In Sun's view, it is possible to shut down the Kuomintang Shanghai Ministry of Communications, and it is also possible to disqualify some Kuomintang radical parliamentarians, but banning the Kuomintang and abolishing the National Assembly will inevitably go too far. ”

Yang Du praised: "What Baixi said is the right reason, without light punishment, you can't see the profundity of the national law, and even if you are too wide, you can't see the fairness of the people's hearts." But then again, if a major war breaks out next year, the proposal to depose all Kuomintang legislators would be quite desirable. Shang Ying Youyun: 'Those who are virtuous are not in harmony with the vulgar, and those who have achieved great achievements are not in the public.' Hu Wenzhong Gong (Hu Linyi) also said: "Counsel can be made by everyone, and decisions must be made by one general." If the Diet still existed at that time, everyone had different opinions, but I was afraid that the Japanese army had already reached the doorstep, and whether to declare war on Japan was still being discussed! ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Although the National Assembly is full of voices and has different opinions, it is not difficult to control the situation with the New China Party in the center, especially since the Kuomintang has been divided before this, and this southern expedition has been defeated again, so it is even more troublesome. Relatively speaking, Yuan Xiangcheng has always been ambitious and unwilling to be subordinate, and after getting the two rivers and three provinces, he is even more powerful, and I am afraid that it will become a disease of the heart that is difficult for us to control in the future. ”

Yang Du sighed and said, "Yuan Xiangcheng is indeed our lifelong rival!" He is intertwined in the military and political circles of various provinces, and the Beiyang powerhouse under his command is unparalleled in the world. It is difficult for the two sides to win in the short term, and the only way to outwit is to outwit it, but how to outwit it must be carefully discussed. - Fortunately, the fairest and most helpless thing in this world is time! If you are not in a hurry to participate in next year's war. We can temporarily avoid Yuan Xiangcheng, don't care about the length of this day, and let him be proud for two or three years, until he runs out of oil and dies, and all problems will naturally be solved. ”

"Die in two or three years?" Sun Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with understanding: According to historical records, Yuan Shikai changed the cabinet system to the presidential system soon after the Second Revolution. Subsequently, the presidential term was revised and he was re-elected to achieve his goal of legally serving as president for life; But he was still a little unsatisfied. At the instigation of his cronies, he established the Hongxian Empire, and then ascended the throne as the emperor, which caused a condemnation from all over the country, and finally became angry and went west in 1916. That's how it goes. Isn't Yuan Shikai's longevity exactly two or three years left?

"Exactly!" Yang Du replied firmly. "Some time ago, Yang visited Yuan Xiangcheng on official business, and was able to observe his expression up close, although he looked light-footed, ruddy-faced, and in good spirits, but in fact, it was not. As far as I could see, his face was red, his tongue was red, his blood was not bright, and he was impatient and irritable. When we talked, I sipped Korean ginseng soup from time to time, and occasionally held my forehead with my hands and beat my chest with my fists, which must have been bitter and dry throat, dizziness, and burning pain in my flanks. All these are the evil consequences of excessive tonic and impatience.

It is reported that Yuan Xiangcheng must enter ginseng, deer antlers, fur dog kidneys and other things every day. As the saying goes: medicine is three parts poison. Although they are all precious medicinal materials that nourish blood and strengthen the body, nourish yin and aphrodisiac. But if the large dose is advanced and tonic from time to time, it will also become the medicine of the tiger and wolf that cuts the wounds! Yuan Xiangcheng is now over fifty years old. Shaohua is no more, once his body is weak, he will soon be terminally ill and weak! ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "Even if we know that Yuan Xiangcheng's departure is not far away, what can we do?" The key is how to get through these two crucial years now. Yuan Xiangcheng is surrounded by famous doctors, and now the situation is so serious that even the faint son can see one or two, doesn't he know it himself? The more many people in the world know that their limit is approaching, the more unscrupulous they become. That's what worries us the most! ”

Yang Du said slowly: "Yes, thousands of years ago, Confucius said, 'And the old man, the blood is declining, and the precept is in the end', but since ancient times, there have been endless histories of usurpation before the death of the ministers, such as Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, who was called the emperor and founded the country for two years, and Xiao Daocheng, the Emperor of Qi Taizu, also died after three or four years of usurpation, in addition to Chen Gaozu Wu Emperor Chen Baxian, Later Han Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan, Later Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, etc., it is better to be! Who knows if Yuan Xiangcheng will follow in their footsteps? So how does Baixi plan to deal with this? ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Didn't Yuan Xiangcheng plan to depose all Kuomintang legislators and then ban the Kuomintang? Then Sun made a preemptive strike and suggested to him that the Kuomintang and Kuomintang legislators be sanctioned before the election of the president in the National Assembly, and see how he dealt with it. If he doesn't agree, he's playing into our hands; If he agrees to Sun's request, then he will continue to reign in the country as a temporary agent for the next two years. The position of president is very important to Yuan Xiangcheng, and he will never allow himself to continue to be so unembarrassed! In this way, the life of the Kuomintang can be barely saved, leaving some fire for the League and the family, and talking to comfort the martyrs who established the Republic of China. ”

Yang Du pondered for a moment and said: "Baixi wants to retreat and force Yuan Xiangcheng to make the choice of temporarily preserving the Kuomintang, which is indeed well-intentioned. It's just that what if Yuan Xiangcheng uses a strategy to delay the army and waits until the congress elects the president? At that time, he can completely claim that he was at the request of Premier Sun Baixi to ban the Kuomintang and expel the Kuomintang legislators.

"Maybe Baixi, you will say that the New China Party now has a third of the seats in the parliament and should be able to dominate the parliamentary agenda. As everyone knows, after the four provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong were pacified one after another, those Kuomintang parliamentarians were already panicking like lost dogs, and they had already figured out how to curry favor with Yuan Xiangcheng in order to save their lives, and the highlight of it was undoubtedly the presidential election! Moreover, I don't know how many of the other parties are Yuan Xiangcheng's cronies, if they suddenly propose to elect a president when the parliament is convening, and the Kuomintang people take the opportunity to go along with it, can we New China party still risk offending the president and sternly oppose it? ”

Sun Yuanqi pondered it carefully, and felt that Yuan Shikai did have the possibility of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang", and asked humbly at the moment: "If it is between the skins, how should it be handled?" ”

Yang Du shook the folding fan and replied: "Baixi mentioned 'preemptive strike' just now, which is quite meaningful!" This time, the Kuomintang advocated rebellion in the south, and many Kuomintang legislators also spoke out in the Congress, responding to independence, and should be punished for their reasons. Bai Xi: You can meet with Yuan Xiangcheng before the election of the president in the National Assembly, and propose to punish the Kuomintang and expel some radical members of the Kuomintang who have misbehaved and made inappropriate remarks. At the same time, the New China Party also quickly put forward a motion in the National Assembly to expel unconstitutional legislators, and the provincial parliaments of Hunan and Guangdong held meetings to recommend that the Senate and the House of Representatives remove some of their provincial legislators. Chunghwa Broadcasting, "Zhengjing Daily," and so on, have added fuel to the fire and the opposition to create public opinion that the KMT must first be disposed of and certain legislators must be eliminated before the president can be elected.

As Baixi said, Yuan Xiangcheng attaches great importance to the presidency and does not allow for any difference. Seeing that public opinion was in the midst of a great uproar, he was bound to cut through the chaos quickly, impose punishment on the Kuomintang on the premise of ensuring that the National Assembly would be able to normally elect a president, dismiss some Kuomintang radical legislators, and order the National Assembly to elect a president as soon as possible. Since ancient times, the law has had the principle of 'no two punishments for one thing', and since Yuan Xiangcheng was forced to lift up and gently fall down against the Kuomintang, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only stop this time. In this way, the Kuomintang can survive for the time being, and the National Assembly can barely maintain its functioning. ”

Sun Yuan smiled and said: "If you follow the idea of the skin, wouldn't Sun become the mortal enemy of Sun Huang and others, and the biggest thorn in the side of the revolutionary party?" According to Yuan Xiangcheng's verification, Huang Keqiang's blood light group is densely spread all over Beijing, Tianjin, if there is a hot-blooded young man throwing two bombs at Sun one day, Sun must give you one! ”

Yang Du was also unambiguous: "Then remember to give me the big one!" ”

The two couldn't help but look at each other and laugh. After laughing, Yang Ducai continued: "Although Yuan Xiangcheng has roughly settled on the two rivers and three provinces, some places are still in the midst of fierce battles, we should take this opportunity to maximize our interests, and also set up a robbery and victory for the future competition." When Yuan Xiangcheng frees his hand, if we act rashly, it will turn into a battle of life and death. ”

"Looting? Winner and loser? Although Sun Yuanqi has tried his best to integrate into the big society of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, he is still difficult to reach in terms of traditional scholars such as qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yang Du hurriedly explained: "Robbing materials and winning and losing hands are both terms in Go. The so-called robbery refers to the key point that forces the other party to deal with the robbery when the two sides are robbing. The so-called winner and loser refers to the extraordinary means that can be used at critical moments to determine victory or defeat in one fell swoop. Yuan Xiangcheng's seizure of the land of two rivers and three provinces is equivalent to occupying an advantage in the middle of the belly and on one side; If we capture Hunan and Guangdong, it is equivalent to occupying two corners and one side. Now the two sides are roughly evenly matched. When the situation in the middle game has become clearer, only by relying on robbery and winning hands can we lock in the victory! ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Then where is our robbery and victory?" Could it be the land of Huai'an, Haizhou and Yangzhou in northern Jiangsu? ”

At the beginning of the Second Revolution, in Yuan Shikai's plan to move south and south, there was originally a plan to capture Shanghai by sea with the help of the navy. Who knew that Sun Yuanqi appointed his student Jiang Zhiqing as the chief of the navy when he formed the cabinet, and Yuan Shikai was not familiar with Jiang Zhiqing, so he naturally did not worry about handing over the life of the hard-cultivated Beiyang elite to Jiang Zhiqing. In this way, Yuan Shikai, who originally planned to walk on three legs, was stunned and was forcibly broken off by Sun Yuanqi.

However, the navy was not idle at all in the second revolution, Jiang Zhiqing was ordered by Sun Yuanqi to lead Lei Zhenchun, Zhang Xun and other troops to fight with the Third Division of the Central Army guarding Xuzhou, led warships to seize Haizhou, and went all the way south to occupy Huai'an, Yangzhou and other prefectures and counties.

Yang Du replied: "Although the land of Huaiyang in northern Jiangsu is an excellent robbery, it is not an extraordinary means to determine the outcome of the victory. The winner and loser mentioned by Yang refers to Fujian! (To be continued.) )
