Everyone was shocked at the same time: Yes! The eldest husband would rather be a chicken than a cow, why should we be willing to be a servant and lie here? I think that back then, the three self-employed people who made straw shoes, sold red dates, and sold pork accounted for Sichuan, and they could all build the country and become the emperor, and there was one of the three parts of the world, why can't we? What's more, in addition to Sichuan, we also have Shaanxi and Gansu provinces!

And since ancient times, the overlord who called the king and the emperor in Sichuan is endless, not to mention the silkworm cong and fish in ancient times, since the Han Dynasty, there are Liu Bang, Gongsun Shu, Liu Bei, Li Xiong, Wang Jian, Meng Zhixiang, Ming Yuzhen, Zhang Xianzhong and others. Fastest update 78 //

- Of course, most of these overlords are more tragic, except for Liu Bang, who was able to fight Sichuan to unify the world, everyone else was ruthlessly wiped out by the foreign army after no more than two generations of kings!

Before discussing the national situation, Jiang Zhiqing, the commander of the 46th Mixed Association Association, and Xue Yangyue, Liu Mingzhao and other generals had been listening on the sidelines, and he also spoke at this time: "Sir, the student thinks that Qiu Zhai is extremely right! Now the situation is like Liu Xuande's initial determination of Yizhou, and the trend of one-third of the world has appeared. Emperor Xuantong is like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, famous but not real. Yuan Weiting, the prime minister of the cabinet, is equivalent to Prime Minister Cao Cao, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and the strongest strength. Sun Yat-sen is like Sun Quan, who owns the counties in the south of the Yangtze River. We are Uncle Liu Huang, occupying the Bashu shape victory.

However, Yuan Weiting did not have Cao Mengde's territory; Sun Yat-sen does not have Sun Zhongmou's unity; We are the only ones who are slightly better than Liu Xuande in terms of territory and strength. If we follow the example of Zhuge Kongming's old wisdom, join forces with Sun Yat-sen in the east, attack Yuan Weiting from the south of the Yangtze River and the northwest, and discuss the ownership of the world after cutting off the strong enemy, we will definitely be able to unify China at an early date and implement a prosperous and strong democracy. ”

Sun Yuanqi glanced at him speechlessly: "Zhiqing, is it okay to read more books that are beneficial to the body and mind when you have time?" Don't keep holding a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and pondering there! You are a graduate of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and it is a little reluctant to be a battalion commander, so don't keep thinking about being Zhuge Wuhou. ”

Yang Du smiled: "Don't say it, Zhiqing's use of the Three Kingdoms to compare the current situation does have its own uniqueness!" In the future, when we deal with Yuan Weiting and Sun Yat-sen, we will have to use the methods of the Three Kingdoms. ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "In my opinion." The current situation is very different from the Three Kingdoms period, and the reason is that the surrounding environment is very different! During the Three Kingdoms period, although the Central Plains would also face the invasion of ethnic minorities such as Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Shanyue, and Nanban, they were all diseases of scabies. The monarchs of all countries can defeat foreign nations without harm. Even so, it also caused a lot of trouble to later generations, and not long after the Jin Dynasty unified the country, there was a five-hundred-year chaos in China, which brought disaster to China for hundreds of years.

"Today, we are surrounded by great powers, especially Russia and Japan, one in a cold region at high latitudes, and the other in a small island country with frequent earthquakes. Due to his own poor conditions, he has coveted my good rivers and mountains for a long time, and always wants to nibble on whale swallows. Even with the strength of the whole country, the Qing government could not resist the invasion of the two countries, and finally had to cede land and pay compensation. If the country is divided into three again, I am afraid that before the momentum is achieved, I will be forced to sign a treaty with the great powers that will humiliate the country. The land is falling day by day, and sovereignty is being lost day by day. In the future, how can we talk about national unity, prosperity, strength and democracy? ”

Although there was no three-legged phenomenon in history, in the first 15 years of the Republic of China, there was a real confrontation between the Beiyang warlords and the Southern Revolutionary Party. In order to bring down the other party. Each of them stretched out their hands to the powers behind them and signed a series of loan treaties, the most notorious of which was the "Twenty-One Articles" signed by Yuan Shikai and Japan. In addition, Yuan Shikai's deeds also include loans from the banks of the four countries, loans for the aftermath, etc.

Of course, Sun Yat-sen was not exempt from vulgarity. In order to win the support of the foreign powers for the Chinese revolution, he promised the newly established government of the Republic of China that it would recognize all the treaties that the Qing government had previously concluded with any other country, pay any foreign loans or indemnities previously introduced by the Qing government, and respect all foreign concessions in China that had been approved by the Qing government! After the establishment of the Provisional Central Government in Nanjing, he also borrowed 1 million pounds from the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank and 3 million yen from the Japanese Okura & Co. on the Shanghai-Fengjing Railway. borrowing with Guangdong Railway as collateral, etc. If it weren't for the strong opposition of Britain and Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen would even want to lease Manchuria to Japan for 20 million yen!!

Some people may ask: It is also a loan, why is Yuan Shikai ruined, but Sun Yat-sen can be alone?

The reason is very simple, Yuan Shikai is a loser, a counter-revolutionary who restored the imperial system; And Sun Yat-sen was the victor. It is the great forerunner of China's modern democratic revolution. As Stalin said: the victor is not to blame.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Sun Yat-sen has no money to borrow, and Yuan Shikai is a reputable bank customer!

Sun Yat-sen spent most of his life in a state of powerlessness, and although he wanted to borrow money all the time, no one wanted to invest in him. Nonsense! The money of the capitalists is not blown by the wind, who wants to make a loss-making transaction? Yuan Shikai was different, at the age of 23, he was stationed in the vassal state of Korea as the "Minister of Commerce and Trade Affairs of the Prime Minister stationed in Korea", and except for a few years when he was forced to recuperate in Zhangde, Henan, he held heavy power for most of his life. With power in their hands, they naturally have interests to sell, and natural capitalists are willing to pay money.

In the end, Sun Yuanqi concluded: "The current plan is to change the situation of confrontation between the north and the south as soon as possible, form a unified national government, exercise state power, avoid interference by foreign powers, and prevent domestic slights from taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters." Therefore, for the sake of the country and the nation, not only can we not let Yuan Weiting die, but we also can't set up our own government to confront him, and we have to help him ascend to the throne of the president! ”

Before and after the founding of the Republic of China, there was chaos in the country, which gave many people an opportunity to take advantage of.

For example, around 1912, officials in the Northeast were so greedy for profit that they sold the treasures in the Fengtianxing Palace to Germany at a price of 5 million taels of silver.

Another example is the bombing of the No. 141 railway bridge in Shanhaiguan on the Jingfeng Railway in early 1912, causing the train to derail and killing and injuring more than 150 people. Japanese senator Aritomo Yamaguchi sent a letter to former Prime Minister Katsura Taro, requesting that the cabinet be urged to use this incident as an excuse to immediately increase the number of troops in Manchuria. (This is exactly the template for the 918 incident 20 years later, which shows the ghost tricks of little Japan!) ）

Yang Du sighed: "If the people of the country can sacrifice themselves for the public like Baixi, regardless of personal interests, why is the situation of the country like this?" Immediately, he said to Shen Xiangyun and Jiang Zhiqing: "It's still very good that you can think of this layer, but there is still a lack of consideration, such as not comprehensive and in-depth enough, and many times you only see the benefits and do not see the harms!" Like Zhiqing just said that we are 'slightly better than Liu Xuande in terms of territory and strength', but have you considered it, we have so many talents in Shu Han? Liu Bei had traveled to major forces for more than 30 years before entering Sichuan. It recruited a large number of heroes and heroes such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, etc., and after entering Sichuan, he received Fa Zheng, Li Yan and other Yizhou civil and military officials, all of whom have been trained for a long time and are of great use.

"What about us? Bai Xi had been engaged in education before he was appointed governor of Sichuan, and he had never held a major power. He also did not deal with military and civil affairs. Several of our staff members had never been in contact with money, grain, soldiers, horses, taxes, fields and valleys, criminal names and prisons, river workers and water transportation, and so on. If we set up a government, how can we govern the country and give orders? I'm afraid that after Baixi becomes president, he won't even be able to pick out a candidate for prime minister!

"Then your army. Like Cheng Qian, the 44th Association Coordinator, Xu Shuzheng, the Deputy Coordinator, Jiang Zhiqing, the 46th Association Coordinator, and Zhang Huizan, the 47th Association Deputy Coordinator, just returned to China a year ago. There is no experience in commanding troops above the battalion level. As for Wu Keren, vice president of the 46th Association, not to mention, he was still an out-and-out farmer at that time. The forty-fifth mixed Cheng Ziyin is good, after all, he has led a security team in Jingshi University for several years, but the number is only one or two hundred.

"It is most appropriate to use a proverb in the Three Kingdoms to describe you: there are no unscrupulous generals in Shu, and Liao is a pioneer. You high-ranking officers are still like this, not to mention the standards and pipe belts below? Many people don't even know how to march and deploy troops and send generals, can they defeat the elite Beiyang Army under Yuan Weiting with just one blood and bravery? ”

Shen Xiangyun, Jiang Zhiqing and others were all ashamed. got up and respectfully saluted Yang Du: "Mr. Huizi is taught!" ”

Yang Du motioned for them to sit down, and said: "We are now tentatively deciding on the three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, if we set up a separate central government. Although it can win over the gentry from all over the country to a certain extent, it will also suffer from the suspicion of Yuan Weiting and Sun Yat-sen, and even ban schools and factories, block water transportation, join forces to attack Sichuan and Shaanxi, and incite rebellions between officials and people. When Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was competing for the world, Zhu Sheng once offered a nine-character good strategy: build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king. Zhu Yuanzhang adopted this plan, Taoguang kept obscurity, and accumulated steadily. In the end, it was decided that the Ming Dynasty would be three hundred years old. Now this nine-character strategy is still suitable for us! ”

Xue Yangyue Qi said: "We didn't set up the Central Committee because we were afraid of enjoying a false name and suffering real harm, so why did Sun Yat-sen draw on the establishment of the Provisional Central Government of the Republic of China?" Didn't he think of that? ”

Yang Du stroked his belly and laughed: "It's very simple! Sun Yat-sen established the provisional central government, and what he wanted was this false name, so as to compete with the powerful Yuan Weiting; But he doesn't have a single soldier or an inch of land in his hands, so how can he suffer any real harm? With such a hundred benefits and no harm, he naturally has to actively do it! ”

Sun Yuan smiled and asked, "Huizi." What should we do now so that Yuan Weiting can ascend to the throne of the presidency as soon as possible? ”

Yang Du fanned a paper fan: "Actually, we don't have to do anything, as long as Yuan Weiting knows that Sun Yat-sen intends to set up a provisional central government, he will naturally hurry up!" Of course, we might as well sell him a good one, so that he can go over the clouds and rain with peace of mind. You can order Yao Baolai to stick to the periphery of Jingshi University and not to go forward; Cheng Qian's 44th Association and Cheng Ziyin's 45th Association withdrew from Henan and Shanxi respectively and returned to Shaanxi. ”

Sun Yuanqi asked again: "Then do you want to send him a telegram?" ”

Yang Du shook his head: "No." You can't talk about it, and when you say it, you fall behind. Don't worry, Yuan Weiting is a smart person and will understand what we mean! ”

With the support of Sun Yuanqi, Sun Yat-sen and others, Yuan Shikai let go of his hands and feet, tried his best, and finally forced Pu Yi and Empress Dowager Longyu to sign the edict of abdication on the last day of 1910, and the twilight of the Forbidden City finally arrived.

Just an hour after the abdication edict was announced, the Federation of Provincial Governors' Representatives announced the election results in Nanjing: Sun Yat-sen was elected provisional president of the Republic of China... )
