    What is it that impresses Sun Yuanqi the most?

    Reputation?

    Who among you here dares to say that his reputation is greater than that of Sun Yuanqi?  Not even Yuan Shikai.  At most, Yuan Shikai is 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 most people who know Yuan Shikai know Sun Yuanqi; and many people who know Sun Yuanqi do not know who Yuan Shikai is.

    An official position?

    Stop joking, what are these people doing sitting here?  Isn't it just to suppress Sun Yuanqi's power?  How could it be possible for Sun Yuanqi to be promoted to a higher position?  Besides, Sun Yuanqi was the Minister of Education in Yuan Shikai's cabinet, the Director-General of Education of the Southern Republic of China government, and the Governor of Sichuan. Where could he be promoted?  If he gets promoted again, just let him become the president!

    Money?

    If I remember correctly, Sun Yuanqi should be at the top of Forbes' list of China's richest people!  The Sun family businesses are widely involved in steel, military industry, medicine, media, finance, food and other industries, with assets in the tens of millions.  If it were replaced by silver, it would probably be enough to bury everyone present alive.  Will he still be short of money?  Moreover, he spends at least hundreds of thousands of taels every year to establish primary and secondary education for free. He does not seem to be a greedy and stingy person.

    Beauty?

    Sun Yuanqi himself is handsome, high-ranking, young and rich, and he is the object of countless women's admiration.  Sichuan is rich in beautiful women. If he is lustful, he can find seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards.  At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the bad custom of taking concubines is still popular in the society. If he hooks his little finger casually, there must be countless parents crying and shouting to send their daughters to the door!  Do you still have Yuan Shikai and the others to worry about?  More fundamentally, although he married three wives from one Chinese, two foreign countries, there are no rumors that he is as lustful as life.

    ¡­¡­

    Everyone thought for a long time, but they didn't expect what Sun Yuanqi needed.  Finally, Duan Qirui said: "As for the withdrawal of troops and aircraft, the commander-in-chief might as well have a frank talk with Sun Baixi. Sun Baixi studied in the United States for many years and believes in nationalism. I think he will put the country first."

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

    After breakfast the next day, Sun Yuanqi, accompanied by Yuan Shikai, other cabinet members, and Yuan Party cronies, went to Tianjin Railway Station and took a specially hung float to Beijing.  Since getting on the bus, Yuan Shikai has not left Sun Yuanqi's box.  After the train started and everyone left one after another, he solemnly said to Sun Yuanqi: "Brother Baixi, you and I first met six or seven years ago. Brother Xian was then a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and came to see him.  Rong Shifu (Rongqing), the scholar in charge of the academy, happened to be here at that time. I asked you whether constitutional monarchy was feasible in the Qing Dynasty. You replied that you will know in six years. Now six years have passed, and the world has been turned upside down, as my wise brother said.  It can be confirmed. The so-called "hole candle machine" is nothing more than this! Every time I think about it, I am filled with emotion."

    Sun Yuanqi quickly replied: "At that time, I was forced by the situation and talked nonsense. You don't need to take it seriously!"

    Yuan Shikai naturally didn¡¯t believe it: ¡°My dear brother, now there are only you and me, and what comes out of your mouth and into my ears, you might as well say it clearly. What do you think of the current situation? Please don¡¯t hesitate to enlighten me!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi's heart moved, and he slowly replied: "The Qing Dynasty has been a country for nearly three hundred years, and its blessings have been far-reaching. Unfortunately, it has encountered major changes that have not been seen in thousands of years. Although it has gone through the self-improvement movement, reform and reform, and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, it finally perished. Why?  ?The fundamental reason is that the autocratic monarchy is not suitable for the development needs of today's society, so even if it changes in many ways, it is still inevitable to fall.

    "Now that the Qing Dynasty has abdicated, the Republic of China has been established, and everything is renewed, it is a great opportunity. When I was in Nanjing, I once said to Mr. Sun Yat-sen that looking around China today, you are the only person best suited to hold power. As long as you can lift the  Ban the party, convene the National Assembly as soon as possible, implement a parliamentary republic, and do not sell out the national interests. The country will definitely be able to recover in the next three to five years!"

    Yuan Shikai said: "Back then, Yang Xingcheng, on behalf of me, made a three-part agreement with my dear brother. I have always kept it in mind and never dared to forget it! As my dear brother said, we are now at the beginning of the Republic of China, and there are many wastes waiting to be done, especially education. It is urgent to get rid of the former Qing Dynasty.  The imperial ideological rule embodies the advancement of the republican system. However, the only one who can influence young students across the country is the virtuous disciple. If I am lucky enough to be able to serve the people of the country, I am willing to serve as the cabinet minister of academic affairs. From now on, domestic affairs  All educational matters are decided by you, and the central government will not interfere!"

    Sun Yuanqi¡¯s eyes suddenly widened: ¡°This¡ª¡ª¡±

    Yuan Shikai added: "Of course, now that the country is in trouble both internally and externally, it is difficult to pay only the Geng Geng money to various countries. After the independence of each province,Without paying taxes to the central government, our cabinet can only borrow money from foreign banks in various countries to make ends meet, and education funds are really scarce.  If you can worry about the country and not forget the young students all over the world, you can use all taxes from Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces as educational funds for the school. No matter whether there is a surplus or a shortage, the central government will not take care of it.  "

    These two ¡°no¡±s made Sun Yuanqi quite emotional, and he thought to himself: I have long been determined to reform the national education system, but there were various forces restricting me in the pre-Qing Dynasty, making it difficult to put it into practice.  If Yuan Shikai really delegates his power completely and allows himself to do whatever he wants, he will be worthy of traveling through time!  The three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu also have nearly 10 million taels of tax revenue. Rather than letting the central government use it for other purposes, it is better to use it to build education.  If all is invested in education, I think it can change the face of education across the country.

    After thinking over and over for a moment, Sun Yuandi nodded and replied: "If Mr. Yuan can abide by the five agreements reached before, I am willing to take up the post of Minister of Academic Affairs in the Cabinet!"

    "Excellent!" Yuan Shikai applauded with high fives, and then frowned: "Bai Xi, you should know that for its own interests, the southern government of the Republic of China strongly advocated the establishment of Jiangning as the capital after the realization of the Republic. Although Jiangning was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it was also the capital of the subjugation of the country.  , with the exception of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the dynasties that had their capital here for more than a hundred years died within several generations, which is very ominous. The Republic of China took republicanism as its purpose and worked for the welfare of all people in the world. How could Nanjing be its capital when it lasted for thousands of generations?

    "The capital is different. The capitals of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were established here for two to three hundred years, which shows that the royal power is strong. Moreover, this place is close to Tsarist Russia in the north and the sea in the east. If there is any disturbance on the border, the capital will be shaken. The Ming Dynasty moved the capital  Here, I want to use 'the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country' to warn future emperors not to forget danger and survival, so the country can enjoy long-term prosperity. For the long-term security of the country, there is no better place to be than the capital!"

    Sun Yuanqi thought silently in his heart: After the success of the Northern Expedition, the Nationalist Government established Nanjing as its capital. It did not live for many years, but instead caused the unforgettable "Nanjing Massacre".  Moreover, Tsarist Russia is now actively agitating for the independence of Outer Mongolia. In the future, Japan will also plan to invade China first in Northeast China and then North China. If the capital is Beijing, it can indeed remind the government at all times!

    During the former Qing Dynasty, Outer Mongolia had always been an integral part of China¡¯s territory.  In the early years of the Republic of China, Outer Mongolia fought for independence with the support of Tsarist Russia. Later, Xu Shuzheng led his troops into Outer Mongolia, forcing Outer Mongolia to officially cancel its autonomy on November 17, 1919 and return to China.  The reason why Xu Shuzheng sent troops was not only his personal heroism, but also because Beijing was the capital at that time. The independence of Outer Mongolia always threatened the security of the capital. The border of Outer Mongolia was only six to seven hundred kilometers away from the capital, and it could be approached in two or three days by horseback.  Capital City!  ¡ª¡ªThe National Government later acquiesced in the independence of Outer Mongolia after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. One of the reasons was that Nanjing was the capital at that time, and the independence of Outer Mongolia posed less of a threat to the central power.

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

    Yuan Shikai's eyes lit up, but his face was still full of sadness: "It is great to have the capital in the capital, but it is not all smooth sailing. In addition to the strong opposition from the southern Republic of China government, the surrounding situation is also worrying. For example, the Qing Dynasty's Clan Socialist Party is constantly fighting against  The old Imperial Guards team colluded. At the end of last year, the Qing court¡¯s Military Consultative Office privately dispatched Imperial Guards to besiege Jingshi University. I think this is still fresh in my memory. If Zhang Shihou (Zhang Huizan)¡¯s troops had not fought hard to resist, the consequences would have been disastrous!

    "In order to force the imperial guards to retreat, Jingshi University planes once flew over the capital to distribute leaflets and threaten to bomb the Forbidden City. This was also an important reason that directly led to the abdication of the Qing Dynasty. But such meritorious deeds of the Republic of China and important weapons of the country have now become southern  The Republic of China government¡¯s excuse to criticize the capital. It¡¯s really puzzling to think about it!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi naturally knew what Yuan Shikai meant: "I received a report from Zhao Xingzhi (Zhao Jingxing) and Zhang Yuhe (Zhang Shiying) a few days ago. I know that the situation in the northwest frontier is precarious, and I intend to dispatch the aircraft of the 47th Concorde Jingshi University  We went to Shaanxi and Gansu to help out, but the situation around the capital is not peaceful, so I am still hesitant. As long as you agree to my two requests, I will immediately order the troops and planes to withdraw to the west of Xi'an, leaving the southern Republic of China government speechless!"

    "Oh?" Yuan Shikai leaned forward slightly, "I wonder what my dear brother wants?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "I heard that Tibet's Dalai Lama Thubten Gyatso has recently sent people around, hoping that the central government can restore his title as the Thirteenth Dalai Lama and allow him to return to Lhasa to live. My first  The request is to hope that Mr. Yuan will resolutely reject all his proposals after taking power."

    Yuan Shikai had no good impression of Thubten Gyatso, so he nodded slightly: "Okay! What about the second request?"

    Sun Yuanqi continued: "Since December of the same year, the Beiyang Army's third town has invaded Shanxi, forcing Yan Baichuan to flee all the way north. Now he can only rely on the Datong Fort to resist stubbornly. Now that we have entered the Republic of China, now the second round of war between the north and the south  The peace talks are about to begin, peace is always the most important thing, and Yan Baichuan is my student. I really don¡¯t want to see him wandering around like a lost dog. So my second request is that I hope Mr. Yuan will withdraw your Beiyang Army.  All over Shanxi!" (To be continued.
