    February 20, 1912 AD, the third day of the first lunar month, was a good time to travel.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know whether it was because of the Chinese New Year or because the Provisional Government and the Provisional Senate moved to the north, but the streets of Nanjing suddenly became much depressed.

    Thinking back more than ten days ago, the city of Nanjing was still bustling with traffic. Provincial councilors, representatives of the military government, and old bureaucrats lined up in long queues at the entrances of various departments. Politicians who were eager to compete were in teahouses and restaurants. Soldiers and patrol policemen filled the streets and alleys.  Within three to five days, those people who followed the trend were like being hit by a hurricane, and they were all swept away to the capital thousands of miles away.  The gentry in Nanjing were lamenting. In addition to saying a few words, "The King of Jinling lost his spirit sadly" and "A falling flag made a stone," the most direct feeling was that the ticket price for the northbound Jinling-Puzhou Railway suddenly increased by 30%.

    Two months ago, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren took a special car to Nanjing and stayed at Dingjia Garden.  Since then, it has been the most prosperous place in the city, and it is no exception until now.  In the early morning, Hu Hanmin, Zhang Jingjiang, Ju Zheng, Ma Junwu and other veterans of the Tongmenghui appeared at the gate, and Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren hurriedly welcomed them out.  But everyone just chatted at the door and did not enter the house. They still looked up from time to time.  Just when everyone was eager to see what was going on, a car arrived belatedly.

    As soon as the car stopped, Huang Xing rushed forward and opened the door: "President Sun, please!"

    At this time, a person got out of the car. It was Sun Yat-sen, who had just stepped down as the interim president a few days ago.  Sun Yat-sen cupped his fists and saluted Huang Xing and said: "Brother Luo Keqiang! He was dismissed a few days ago and is no longer a president. Now Sun is just a commoner in the Republic of China. You and I can treat each other as brothers!"

    Huang Xing quickly supported Sun Yat-sen and said: "Brother Yixian, in order to unify the country and restore China, imitated the ancient Yao and Shun in abdicating the country, and took the initiative to give up the position of president to Yuan Xiangcheng. His high integrity is admired by people at home and abroad. In the hearts of our comrades in the Tongmenghui,  You will always be the President of the Republic of China!" Although he said this, his title changed from "President Sun" to "Brother Yixian".

    Hu Hanmin also came forward, but his eyes were fixed on the black painted car Sun Yat-sen was riding in: "Mr. Zhongshan, this car is probably worth a lot of money, right?"

    Sun Yat-sen was a little proud: "Isn't this car good? It was given by Sun Baixi! It is said that Sun Baixi and his friends established a car company in the United States three or four years ago, and he was responsible for the overall design. After returning to China, he joined forces with Jingshi University, Hubei Higher Industrial School, etc.  Teachers and students of the school spent several years developing this car, which was put into trial production at the end of last year. As soon as it was released, it caused a huge response in the United States. The first batch of 3,000 units was quickly ordered, and the product was in short supply.

    "As the designer and shareholder of Sun Baixi, the company specially gave him five cars in two batches, which were sent thousands of miles to China. After Sun Baixi received it, his wife had one, he kept one, and then gave it to Jingshi University.  Of the two remaining cars, one was given to Sun and the other to Yuan Xiangcheng. But Yuan Xiangcheng was used to riding horses and didn¡¯t know if he dared to ride in this kind of car? Anyway, Sun liked it very much and couldn¡¯t wait to get it.  Just wait and see, it turns out that I can't find a suitable driver for a while, so I'm a bit late. I hope you can forgive me!"

    Hu Hanmin said: "Sun Baixi is really a talent! He is well known throughout the country for his academic pursuits, his ability to serve as an official in four cabinets, and now his business activities are also a sensation at home and abroad. No wonder he can conquer both the north and the south. His ability is so great.  We, the generation, can only look forward to it."

    Hu Hanmin¡¯s words sound like praise, but if you taste them carefully, it is not difficult to find the sour smell in them.  But Sun Yat-sen still didn't realize it: "Sun Baixi is not only a talent, but also an outstanding person! He studied academically, founded schools, and established industries, all of which are feats that will benefit the contemporary era and will last forever. If the Republic of China can have three or five Sun Baixi, why?  Are you worried that China will not be prosperous and the people will not be rich?"

    Song Jiaoren, who was standing next to him, said: "How far-reaching is Sun Baixi's impact on learning and business? Song is a layman, so it is not easy to judge casually. However, his ability to maneuver in the officialdom is first-rate in Song's opinion."  !Before the third year of Xuantong (1911), he was just an ordinary minister of Qingshui Yamen, and he won this position by luck because of his ancestral talent. If nothing else happened, he should have been circulating among ministers of various ministries and ended his life.

    "Who would have thought that in the three years of Xuantong, he would rise so high with the east wind of the revolution, from being a minister to a minister, from a minister to the cabinet, from the cabinet to the governor of Sichuan. With only a brigade of unarmed student troops in his hands, he swept across  The four provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Gansu became the veritable king of the west. Then they took advantage of the power of the four provinces and the power of victory to reorganize the Preparatory Constitutional Convention. Within a few months, the New China Party won three seats in the cabinet.  His strength is second only to Yuan Xiangcheng. The speed of his rise and rise is truly breathtaking!"

    Hu Hanmin said: "What the wise brother Dunchu said is absolutely true! Yuan Xiangcheng had already done it in the early years of Guangxu.He served in the army, rose from Daotai, governor to military officer, and even became prime minister of the cabinet before the fall of the Qing Dynasty.  After decades of operation, it has established a firm foothold in Shandong, Henan and Zhili.  How could it compare to Sun Baixi's sudden change in taking over four western provinces within half a year?  And us!

    "Our Tongmenghui has been established in Japan since the 31st year of Guangxu (1905). It can even be traced back to the 20th year of Guangxu (1894) when Mr. Zhongshan established the Xingzhong Society in Honolulu and the 29th year of Guangxu (1903) when Mr. Keqiang  Establish the Huaxing Society. Over the years, comrades have sacrificed their lives, shed their blood, and sacrificed their lives to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore China. It can be said that they have made great contributions. The result? We only have two or three provinces in our hands, and we have less influence on the cabinet.  It took several months to form the New China Party. Just thinking about this makes people want to die!"

    Huang Xing sighed and said: "Mencius said: 'Although you have wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation; although you have the foundation, it is better to wait for the time.' Is that generally true?"

    If Sun Yuanqi were around at this time, he would definitely despise Song Jiaoren, Hu Hanmin, and Huang Xing: If Yuan Shikai said that my acquisition of the northwest was a matter of luck, I would admit it.  What qualifications does your revolutionary party have to run against me?

    Think about the actions of the Revolutionary Party in recent years. In addition to promoting nationalist ideas everywhere, it also sends hundreds of young people to stage a farce of uprising from time to time.  When the Qing government's rule was still relatively stable, the idea of ??trying to get dozens of passionate young people to rebel and overthrow the Manchu Qing government was really a bit fanciful.  In addition to causing young people to sacrifice their lives one after another, this kind of behavior of striking stones with eggs, the most important role is to highlight the existence of the revolution and the revolutionary party.

    ¡°If we say that we are taking advantage of the situation, the Revolutionary Party is even less qualified!  At least before the Revolution of 1911, he was already the Minister of Academic Affairs and Cabinet Minister.  And what about those people from the Revolutionary Party?  Jiao Dafeng, the governor of Hunan, is a wanted criminal by the Qing government, Chen Qimei, the governor of the Shanghai army, is the gangster leader in Shanghai, and Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, is the general office (principal) of the Yunnan Army Primary School.  And Li Yuanhong, who was dragged out from under the bed to serve as the governor of Hubei, was previously the commander of the 21st Mixed Association of the Army, and he was already considered extremely valuable among the governors!

    Song Jiaoren, in particular, had never served in the government, although he had served as vice president of the Huaxing Association and prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice of the Tongmenghui.  When Sun Yuanqi served as Hubei's academic envoy, he also hired him as a teacher at the Hubei School of Law and Politics.  Now Sun Yuanqi is the cabinet minister-general of education, and he has also become the minister-general of agriculture and forestry.  In comparison, who is getting rich faster and achieving faster?

    Yu Youren suddenly said: "I heard that the Third Beiyang Town, which originally occupied all of Shanxi, has gradually withdrawn eastward. Yan Baichuan, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, will return to Taiyuan from Datong and has plans to change his course. Is the news true?"

    Song Jiaoren's expression darkened: "Absolutely not bad! At the end of last year, Yuan Xiangcheng took advantage of the chaos in the south and we had no time to visit the north, and sent troops into Shanxi from Niangzi Pass and Pingxing Pass. What happened to the newly recruited soldiers under Yan Baichuan's command?  The enemy of the powerful Beiyang force was defeated as soon as they met, and most of Shanxi province fell in more than ten days. At that time, Yan Baichuan went south to ask for help from us, but the two provinces of Henan and Zhili were between us and Shanxi, so we were really beyond our reach;  Moreover, once troops are sent, it will destroy the hard-won peace talks between the North and the South, so we can only comfort them with words.

    "Later he asked Sun Baixi for help. After all, there was a teacher-student relationship between them, and it happened that Yuan Xiangcheng was eager to evacuate the 47th Concorde near the capital, so Sun Baixi reached an agreement with Yuan Xiangcheng: Yuan Xiangcheng evacuated the invading Shanxi  In the third town, Sun Baixi evacuated the 47th Concorde aircraft near the capital. This led to today's situation. Because of this, Yan Baichuan was quite resentful of our alliance for not lending a helping hand in time. In addition,  Sun Baixi showed kindness to him, so he is now leaning towards the New China Party and is preparing to establish the Shanxi branch of the New China Party in Taiyuan."

    Hu Hanmin stamped his feet and cursed: "Sun Baixi is really hateful. With this simple move, he not only satisfied Yuan Xiangcheng's request, but also caused our alliance to lose an important town in the north, and gained territory in Shanxi Province for nothing. Fortunately, he was still regarded by the youth of the country.  As a 'contemporary saint', his actions are so despicable and his thoughts are so sinister. How can he look like a teacher and an elder at all?"

    Everyone knew that Hu Hanmin was using strong words to make excuses, but no one defended Sun Yuanqi, and some people even echoed loudly.

    Sun Yat-sen said: "In the case of Shanxi, after all, we failed to fulfill our duty to rescue our comrades. I'm sorry to Yan Baichuan first. Since we are unkind, we cannot blame others for their unrighteousness. Moreover, Sun Baixi is now the Director-General of Education of the Cabinet and the New China Party  The leader of the party has huge influence in the western provinces. If our alliance wants to make a difference, we cannot ignore Sun Yuanqi's power. We must properly handle the relationship with the New China Party, especially when we are at a disadvantage now. So.  Let¡¯s just get over this holiday!¡±

    Everyone calmed down.

    Huang Xing took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Zhongshan, comrades have been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. Let's go in early!" (To be continued.
