289, the old time and moon in the east of Huaishui

Sun Yat-sen handed Sun Yuanqi another cup of red robe, and then said: "This is their wishful thinking!" At the beginning, because the Janissaries attacked Jingshi University, you even dared to send planes to threaten to bomb the Imperial Palace, who doesn't know that you are very precious to Jingshi University? Now that a town of troops of the Beiyang Army is stationed near the Beijing Division, if it really wants to send planes to bomb Yuan Weiting's residence, no matter what the consequences are, the Beiyang Army will inevitably wipe out Jingshi University first. I think you will first consider the safety of Jingshi University when you come to Baixi, under such conditions, how can you agree to send a plane? ”

Sun Yuanqi secretly said in his heart: You are interested!

Sun Yat-sen was also a single, and when he saw that he couldn't win over Sun Yuanqi, he immediately changed his tone: "Since we can't fight against Yuan Weiting by force, and we don't want to make more killings, then we can only seek peace all the way." The cabinet also discussed the conditions for peace, in order to ensure the best results, and to restrain Yuan Weiting, we agreed on the following three articles: first, the capital of Nanjing; second, the new president took office in Nanjing; Third, abide by the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China. What does Baixi think? ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "I don't know who formulated these three conditions, but I think it's really a little taken for granted!" First of all, on the premise that there was no army to defend him, Yuan Weiting would never go to Nanjing to take up his post. If no one else comes to Nanjing, what is the point of making Nanjing the capital? As for abiding by the "Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China", it is even more an empty word, and when he becomes the president and then controls the parliament, it is not a matter of his words whether to amend the "Provisional Constitution" or not? ”

Sun Yat-sen hurriedly asked: "Then, according to Baixi, how should the peace conditions be formulated?" ”

Sun Yuanqi said slowly while sipping tea: "If it is up to me to draw it up, first of all, it must be nationalized in the army, that is, the army does not belong to a specific person or a certain political party, but to the entire people or the National Assembly. Of course, Yuan Weiting would certainly not agree to nationalize his Beiyang Army, so we will take a step back for the time being and ask that the provincial assemblies be allowed to have a certain number of troops. The so-called 'power comes out of the barrel of a gun', only if we have enough force in our hands as a guarantee, can Yuan Weiting keep the promise he made!

"The second is the introduction of a parliamentary republic, in which the President is elected by the National Assembly as a whole, while the Government Cabinet is composed of and accountable to the parliament by the party with a majority of seats. In this way, it will be possible to confine the political struggle to the interior of the parliamentary elections as much as possible, instead of resorting to force, so as to ensure the basic stability of the people's daily life, which is conducive to the healthy development of agriculture, industry, and commerce, and the restoration of the country's vitality as soon as possible. ”

The League is currently the largest party in China, and if a parliamentary republic is to be implemented, Sun Yat-sen is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. After listening to Sun Yuanqi's suggestion, Sun Yat-sen was inevitably a little overjoyed, and couldn't help but interject: "It would be great if the parliamentary republic system could be implemented, but I'm afraid Yuan Weiting is not very willing!" Although he served in the army, localities, and centers, his influence was limited to the north, and his influence in the army was far greater than his influence in the localities. Moreover, he framed Emperor Guangxu and forced Xuantong to abdicate, and his reputation among the people and scholars was extremely poor. If the president is elected by the National Assembly as a whole, will he be elected? ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Yuan Weiting I is a hero, his scheming skills are definitely beyond the reach of others, as long as time passes, he will definitely be able to call for wind and rain in the parliament!" As for the moment, he may not be able to do it, and we might as well give him a transition period. During the transition period, he formed a cabinet as pro tempore president; After the end of the transition period, parliamentary elections will be held. Yuan Weiting is so happy and greedy for power, he will definitely agree to this condition after hearing this. ”

Sun Yat-sen pondered silently for a moment, and then asked, "Then what are the next peace conditions?" ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "If there is a third article, it is to implement the tax-sharing system, that is, to divide all the taxes of the state between the central government and the local government, and determine the scope of revenue of the central and local finances, so as to ensure that the local governments have a certain degree of free control in the economy. Above... Covering military, personnel and financial powers, only by ensuring these three powers can we effectively protect the best achievements and bind the future head of state. ”

Sun Yat-sen praised: "The three conditions drawn up by Baixi are really extraordinary! Today at the Shimonoseki Wharf, Western reporters still feel sorry for your dedication to politics, and now it seems that you are completely doing your best! ”

After Sun Yuanqi was humble, he solemnly said to Sun Yat-sen: "Mr. Zhongshan, we are not only the descendants of Yan and Huang, but also brothers with the same surname, I have a few words not to vomit unhappy, if there is any offense, please Haihan!" ”

Sun Yat-sen said sincerely: "Sun Wen listens! ”

Sun Yuanqi said solemnly: "Mr. Zhongshan, when we were talking in San Francisco, I told you that I hope that after the success of the Republic of China, the Republic of China will not recognize all the treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty on the cession of territory, and an inch of land cannot be ceded after the Republic of China!" For foreign friends who have helped you, you can make appropriate concessions in terms of opening treaty ports, granting most-favored-nation status, building railways, and mining mines, but you cannot negotiate at all on territorial issues.

"The result? In order to win the support of European and American countries for China, you even promised that the newly established government of the Republic of China would recognize all the treaties concluded by the Qing government with any other country, pay any foreign loans introduced by the Qing government or any national indemnities incurred by it, and respect all foreign concessions in China that were approved and put into effect by the Qing government! If it weren't for the strong opposition of the British government and Yuan Weiting, you would even want to lease Manchuria to Japan for 20 million yen!! Could this be the purpose of the League to 'drive out the Tartars and restore China'? As a statist, I am very incomprehensible to what you are doing, and even to doubt your basic integrity as a political figure! ”

Sun Yuanqi's words were ruthless, it was like slapping Sun Yat-sen a few times on the spot, making his face blue and white. If it weren't for Sun Yat-sen's experience of strong winds and waves, he would have developed a calm character, and it is estimated that he would have gone by now.

Sun Yuanqi continued: "The so-called 'the past cannot be admonished, the future can still be chased', Mr. Zhongshan's political road is still very long, as long as you do not have problems in national sovereignty in the future, the younger brother is willing to only look forward to you, and lead the New China Party and your alliance to advance and retreat together in the parliament, work together to protect the best achievements, and restrain Yuan Weiting's every move!" After speaking, he got up and bowed deeply to Sun Yat-sen.

Sun Yat-sen also hurriedly got up and bowed back: "Sun Wending should remember the teachings of the virtuous brother!" ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Right now, the little brother has an important matter to trouble Mr. Zhongshan!" The younger brother heard that Tibet had reformed the Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso, and had recently sent people to Nanjing to carry out activities, hoping that the government of the Republic of China would restore his title as the 13th Dalai Lama and allow him to return to Lhasa to live. Personally, I hope that the central government of Nanjing, and the governments of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu will resolutely reject his request. I will meet with Yuan Weiting later and make a solemn request to him. ”

"Why?" Sun Yat-sen was a little puzzled, "Now that the republic has been established, the five ethnic groups are one family, if Thubten Gyatso can be sincere and introverted, we can completely abandon the past and restore his name, anyway, it is beneficial and harmless." Why do you want the central government to reject Thubten Gyatso's request? ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Although the former Qing Dynasty was different in all aspects, we must also correctly recognize the important contributions it made, such as the establishment of provinces in Xinjiang and Taiwan, such as the implementation of land reform and return to the river in Yunnan, Guichuan and other places, all of which fully strengthened the central government's rule over remote areas. Tibet is located on the Sino-Indian border, which can effectively shield the British from India to the Chinese mainland, and the geographical location is very important, and it is necessary to strengthen its rule. The best way to strengthen his rule is to set up provincial governments and change the land to the people, and the Dalai Lama is the biggest obstacle to the implementation of these two measures. You say, can we restore him to his name and allow him to return to Lhasa?

"Moreover, the name of 'Dalai Lama' was canonized by Emperor Shunzhi of the former Qing Dynasty, and was removed by the decree of Emperor Xuantong of the former Qing Dynasty. Why should our government of the Republic of China be involved? Moreover, I have a hunch that once the title of the 13th Dalai Lama is restored and allowed to return to Lhasa, it will bring great trouble to the central government in the future! The wise man has the foresight in the future, and the wise man avoids the danger in the future, and we must resolutely nip the danger in the bud! ”

Sun Yat-sen suddenly looked left and right and said to him: "Baixi, you just criticized me for recognizing the unequal treaties of the former Qing Dynasty and trying to lease Manchuria to Japan, and the foolish brother admits that the measures are a bit inappropriate, but you must also understand that the foolish brother has a last resort!" At that time, the Manchu government had not yet been overthrown, and the newly established government of the Republic of China had to win diplomatic recognition from European and American countries, so it was inevitable to make some promises and concessions.

"Moreover, since the rise of the army, there have been many places to train the new army, pay salaries, buy ammunition, etc., and the expenditure will be no less than hundreds of millions in a few months. In the past, the main sources of government expenses were such as the Qing Tian Fu, the Cao Grain, the Tea Class, the Salt Class, the Tea Class, and the Tax Fee, but now there is nothing to worry about, so the central government has been facing serious financial difficulties. In desperation, the foolish brother had no choice but to rush to the doctor-"

Sun Yuanqi suddenly heard the song and knew what it meant: "Since the Nanjing National Government is facing serious financial difficulties, the younger brother is willing to serve 200,000 yuan on behalf of the Sichuan government!" ”

Sun Yat-sen also said: "At present, Nanjing has gathered all kinds of troops, with no less than 30 people, and the daily consumption of grain and straw alone is calculated in tens of thousands. A few days ago, the War Department began to reorganize them into 21 divisions, and those who passed the test needed to purchase ammunition and uniforms, and those who did not meet the requirements needed to be cut and dismissed. ”

Sun Yuanqi gritted his teeth and said, "At most, 300,000 yuan, otherwise the junior brother Mr. Nakayama will not be here tonight." ”

Only then did Sun Yat-sen relent: "Okay!" The virtuous brother was assured that the Nanjing government would never grant Thubten Gyatso's request to restore the title of the 13th Dalai Lama and return to Lhasa to reside. ”

The guest and the host chatted for a while, and then Sun Yat-sen left satisfied. This meal of tea drank Sun Yuanqi 300,000 yuan, which really made him heartbroken. Coupled with the fatigue of the journey, I was about to go to bed after washing, when I suddenly heard Feng Jishan report: "My lord, there is a person claiming to be your student who has come to visit, have you seen it?" ”

Student?

Sun Yuan got up and took the post, only to see the three big characters "Yan Xishan" written on it.
