What impressed Sun Yuanqi the most?

Fame?

Who in this audience dares to say that his reputation is greater than that of Sun Yuanqi? Even Yuan Shikai can't. Free e-book download // Yuan Shikai is at most well-known in China, as for ordinary people abroad - do you know who the Prime Minister of Algeria or the President of Argentina is? It can be said that the vast majority of people who know Yuan Shikai know Sun Yuanqi; And many people who know Sun Yuanqi don't know where Yuan Shikai is sacred.

Offices?

No kidding, what are these people sitting here for? Isn't it just to curb Sun Yuanqi's power! How could it be possible to add an official to Sun Yuanqi? Besides, Sun Yuanqi himself is the Minister of Education in Yuan Shikai's cabinet, the chief of education of the Southern Republic of China Government, and the governor of Sichuan, where can he be promoted? If he is promoted again, let him be the president directly!

Money?

If memory serves, Sun Yuanqi should be among the top few on the Forbes list of China's richest people! The Sun family business is widely involved in steel, military industry, medicine, media, finance, food and other industries, with assets of tens of millions. If it is exchanged for silver, it is estimated that it will be no problem to bury everyone present alive. Will he still be short of money? And he spends at least hundreds of thousands of taels a year to build primary and secondary education free of charge, and he doesn't seem to be a money-hungry and stingy person.

Belle?

Sun Yuanqi himself is handsome, coupled with a high position and power, young and golden, which is the object of countless women's aspirations. Sichuan is rich in beauties, if he is lustful, he can find seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards. Now in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the bad custom of taking concubines is still popular in society, he casually hooks his little finger, and there are countless parents crying and shouting to send their daughters to the door! Do you still use Yuan Shikai to worry about them? More fundamentally, although he married three daughters-in-law of one Chinese and two oceans, there are no rumors in the market that he is lustful and lustful.

……

Everyone thought about it for a long time, but they didn't think of what Sun Yuanqi needed. In the end, Duan Qirui said: "Regarding the removal of troops and aircraft, the marshal may wish to talk to Sun Baixi openly and honestly." Sun Baixi has studied in the United States for many years, and believes in nationalism, so he thinks that he will put the country first. ”

Yuan Shikai also felt that the chips in his hand were limited, so he had to nod: "Then the old man will take the time to have a good chat with Sun Baixi!" ”

After breakfast the next day. Accompanied by Yuan Shikai and other cabinet members and Yuan Dang's cronies, Sun Yuanqi went to the Tianjin Railway Station and rode to Beijing on a specially hung float. Since getting in the car, Yuan Shikai has not left Sun Yuanqi's box. After the train started, everyone left one after another, and then he solemnly said to Sun Yuanqi: "Brother Baixixian." You and I first met six or seven years ago. The virtuous brother was a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy, and he came to meet the master of the academy, Rong Shifu (Rongqing), and it happened that the old man was present at that time. The old man asked you whether a constitutional monarchy was feasible in the Qing Dynasty, and you replied that you would know in six years. Now six years have passed. The heavens and the earth have been turned upside down, and what the virtuous brother said has also been confirmed. The so-called hole candle machine first, nothing more than this! Every time the old man thought about it, he sighed with emotion. ”

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly replied: "At that time, I was forced by the situation and talked nonsense. Adults don't have to take it seriously! ”

Yuan Shikai naturally didn't believe it: "Brother Xian, now there are only you and me, out of your mouth into my ears, you might as well say it clearly." What do you think about the situation today? Please don't hesitate to give us advice! ”

Sun Yuanqi's heart moved, and he replied slowly: "The Qing Dynasty has enjoyed the country for nearly three hundred years, and the grace is far away, but unfortunately it has encountered great changes that have not been seen for thousands of years. Why? Get to the bottom of it. The reason is that the monarch is not suitable for the needs of today's social development, so even if there are thousands of changes, it is still inevitable to fall.

"Now that the Qing Dynasty has abdicated, the Republic of China has been built at the beginning, and Vientiane has been renewed. That's where the opportunity comes in. When I was in Nanjing, I once said to Dr. Sun Yat-sen that if you look around China today, only you are the most suitable to hold power. As long as you can lift the ban on the party, the parliament will be opened quickly. Implement a parliamentary republic and not betray national interests. In the next three to five years, the country will surely recover! ”

Yuan Shikai said: "Back then, Yang Xingcheng represented the old man and the virtuous brother in three chapters, and the old man has always kept it in mind, and he didn't dare to forget it!" As the virtuous brother said, now at the beginning of the Republic of China, all kinds of waste need to be revived, especially the cause of education, and it is urgent to get rid of the imperial ideological rule of the former Qing Dynasty and reflect the advanced republican system. However, the only one who can influence young students across the country is the virtuous brother. If the old man is lucky enough to serve the people of the whole country, he is willing to treat him as the Minister of Education in the Cabinet. From now on, all education affairs in the country will be decided by you, and the central government will not interfere! ”

Sun Yuanqi's eyes widened suddenly: "This-"

Yuan Shikai added: "Of course, now that the country is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, it seems that it is too much to pay the money of various countries. After the provinces became independent, they did not pay taxes to the central government, and our cabinet could only borrow money from foreign banks in various countries to get by, and the funds for education were really poor. If the virtuous brother can worry about the country and not forget the young students of the world, he can use all the taxes paid by Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces as the education funds of the school. ”

These two "nos" made Sun Yuanqi quite moved, and he thought in his heart: I have long been interested in reforming the education system across the country, but in the pre-Qing Dynasty, there were various forces that hindered it, and it was difficult to put it into practice. If Yuan Shikai really completely decentralizes his power and lets himself do it, it will not be worth the crossing! Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces also paid nearly 10 million taels in taxes, and it was better to use them for education than to let the central government move them to other uses. If we devote ourselves to education, we think that we can make a new look of education in the whole country.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Yuantou replied: "If Lord Yuan can abide by the five agreements reached before, I am willing to take up the post of Minister of Education in the Cabinet!" ”

"Yay!" Yuan Shikai high-fived and praised, and then frowned again: "Baixi, you should know that for its own interests, the government of the Southern Republic of China strongly advocates the realization of Jiangning as the capital after the republic. Although Jiangning is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it is also the capital of the dead country, and the dynasty that has the capital here has died in several generations except for the Eastern Jin Dynasty for more than 100 years, which is very ominous. The Republic of China takes the republic as its purpose and seeks the welfare of all the people in the world.

"Jingshi is different, the Ming and Qing dynasties have been here for two or three hundred years, which shows that the king is vigorous. Moreover, this place is close to Tsarist Russia in the north, and the sea in the east, and the slightest wind and grass on the frontier will shake the capital. The Ming Dynasty moved the capital here, which was to warn the later emperors not to forget the danger and survive to the death, so that the country could enjoy Zuo for a long time. For the long-term planning of the country's safety, there is no one more than Jingshi! ”

Sun Yuanqi silently thought in his heart: After the success of the Northern Expedition in later generations, the Nationalist Government set Nanjing as the capital, and it was true that there were not many years to live, but there was an unforgettable "Nanjing Massacre". Moreover, now Tsarist Russia is actively agitating for foreign independence, and Japan's premeditated plan to invade China in the future is also to first Northeast China and then North China.

In the former Qing Dynasty, Outer Mongolia had always been an integral part of Chinese territory. In the early days of the Republic of China, Outer Mongolia became independent with the support of Tsarist Russia, and later Xu Shuzheng led his troops into Outer Mongolia, forcing Outer Mongolia to officially cancel its autonomy and return to China on November 17, 1919. The reason why Xu Shuzheng sent troops, in addition to his personal heroism, was also because the capital was Beijing at that time, and he immediately threatened the safety of the Beijing division at all times - the border of Outer Mongolia was only six or seven hundred kilometers away from the Beijing division, and he could approach the capital within almost two or three days on horseback! Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government acquiesced in the establishment of foreign power, one of the reasons was that the capital was Nanjing at that time, and the external government was less threatening to the central power.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi replied: "I am also very much in favor of the capital of Dingdu. ”

Yuan Shikai's eyes lit up, but his face was still full of sadness: "Although the capital of Dingdu is excellent, it is not all smooth sailing. In addition to the strong opposition of the government of the Republic of South, the surrounding situation is also worrying, such as the Qing Dynasty's Zongsha Party colluding with the old Janissary Army. At the end of last year, the Qing Imperial Military Advisory Office privately dispatched the Praetorian Guards to besiege Jingshi University. If it weren't for Zhang Shihou (Zhang Huizan)'s troops to resist, the consequences would be really unimaginable!

In order to force the Praetorian Guards to retreat, Jingshi University planes flew over the capital to distribute leaflets, threatening to bomb the Forbidden City, which was also an important reason for the abdication of the Qing family. But such a meritorious service of the Republic of China and an important weapon of the country have now become an excuse for the government of the Southern Republic of China to criticize the capital. It's really confusing to think about it! ”

Sun Yuanqi naturally knew what Yuan Shikai meant: "A few days ago, I received a report from Zhao Xingzhi (Zhao Jingxing) and Zhang Yuhe (Zhang Shiying), knowing that the situation in the northwest frontier was precarious, and he had the intention to dispatch the plane of the 47th Mixed Concord Jingshi University to Shaanxi and Gansu to help, but the vicinity of Beijing was not very peaceful, and he was still hesitant in the next day. As long as the adults agree to the next two requests, they will immediately order the troops and planes to withdraw to the west of Xi'an, so that the government of the Republic of the South has nothing to say! ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shikai leaned forward slightly, "I don't know what the virtuous brother wants?" ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "I heard that Tibet has been reformed ** Thubten Gyatso has recently sent people around to carry out activities, and I hope that the central government can restore his title as the 13th ** Lama and allow him to return to Lhasa to live. My first request is that I hope that Lord Yuan will resolutely reject all his proposals when he takes power. ”

Yuan Shikai didn't have a good impression of Thubten Gyatso, so he nodded slightly: "Okay!" And what about the second requirement? ”

Sun Yuanqi continued: "Since December of this year, the third town of the Beiyang Army has invaded Shanxi, forcing Yan Baichuan to flee all the way north, and now he can only rely on Datong Jiancheng to resist stubbornly. Now that he has entered the Republic of China, and now that the second round of peace talks between the north and the south is about to begin, peace must always be precious, and Yan Baichuan is my student, so I really don't want to see him drifting around like a lost dog. So my second request is to hope that Lord Yuan will withdraw your Beiyang Army from the entire territory of Shanxi! ”

ps: Ah, drinking again...... But Uncle He remembers to owe everyone a chapter! Will definitely make it up!
