Beijing.
Since the selection of the cabinet prime minister was established, the atmosphere at the Big Five meeting has become significantly more relaxed. On a crisp autumn day in September in Beijing, a few people were sitting in a sunny conference room, drinking good tea, chatting like friends about the current domestic and foreign political changes, economic development, and people's livelihood, and it was quite enjoyable. The scene is no different from that of students at Jingshi University chatting in the study room. The only difference is that the students are "scholarly", while a few of them are veritable "pointers."
Of course, not everyone in the so-called "Big Five Meeting" had a fixed time to speak. Most of the time, Sun Yat-sen gave the speech, Huang Xing added, Yuan Shikai cheered loudly, and Li Yuanhong and Sun Yuanqi were mainly responsible for acting as enthusiastic listeners. Nod, applaud, and liven up the atmosphere.
In fact, the atmosphere at the scene was already very lively, and there was no need for their help at all, because Sun Yat-sen's speech was very inflammatory, especially when he described the grand blueprint of land to the tiller, training of millions of elite soldiers, and building 100,000 miles of railways. Everyone is excited and excited. Yuan Shikai's applause was the finishing touch. Almost every time Sun Yat-sen asked a question, he would shout "Okay!" as if he were watching a famous actor appear in a play. When Sun Yat-sen mentioned something emotional, he would stand up happily. Shouted "Long live Mr. Sun Yat-sen". Whenever this happens, Sun Yat-sen will also say "Long live the President" as usual. In short, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious and the scene extremely touching.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Before going north, he was extremely resistant to Yuan Shikai. However, after meeting Yuan Shikai in Beijing, he did not know whether he was given ecstasy soup or Mongolian sweat medicine, and his attitude changed completely. He told the media several times: " Huang came to Beijing this time and saw with his own eyes the President's hard work and all his plans for the country. He was particularly impressed! All the people of the Republic of China, whether in politics or society, should show true patriotism to help the President build his country. His great deeds." He was so fascinated that he was even more poisoned than Sun Yat-sen!
As a later generation and bystander, Sun Yuanqi knew the general direction of history, so he could still remain basically awake and still be wary of Yuan Shikai. As for how much sanity others can maintain, it's hard to say. Therefore, between meetings, he would often peek at the demeanor and micro-expressions of everyone in the venue, trying to see what they really thought in their hearts.
This observation really taught Sun Yuanqi a lot.
I remember that during a meeting in mid-September, Sun Yat-sen suddenly became excited and began to talk about his railway dream: he planned to build three major railway lines first, one starting from Guangzhou, passing through Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, entering Tibet, and going around the Tianshan Mountains. South; one starts from the estuary of the Yangtze River and passes through Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and even Ili in Xinjiang; the other starts from Qinhuangdao, goes around Liaodong, turns into Mongolia, and goes straight through Outer Mongolia to reach the Wuliang Sea. The capital is set at six billion yuan, the mileage plan is two hundred thousand miles, and the term is ten years. The method of raising funds is to borrow money to build roads, and outsiders are allowed to undertake the work, but it will be nationalized within a certain period of time, and the conditions must not affect China's sovereignty.
Sun Yuanqi couldn't help laughing while listening: How naive must be the person who can come up with such an idea! As far as I know, there has been no railway access to Tibet throughout the 20th century. In addition to the lack of funds, the more important reason is technical difficulties, such as permafrost, plateau hypoxia, bad weather, etc. Based on the technological level at the beginning of the 20th century, it is estimated that even the best scientists and engineers in the world would be unable to build a railway across Tibet. What¡¯s more, it is simply impossible to bring together so many outstanding talents?
Let¡¯s not talk about the difficult problems in liberalizing technology, but let¡¯s talk about the capital issue of road construction. What is the concept of six billion yuan? In 1911, China's fiscal revenue was 300 million taels of silver, equivalent to more than 500 million silver dollars. During the same period, the fiscal revenue of the United States, the world's largest economic power, was 702 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 1.4 billion silver dollars; while the old powers, the British Empire The fiscal revenue is 104 million pounds, which is equivalent to less than 1 billion silver dollars. In other words, Sun Yat-sen is prepared to borrow four years of the entire annual income of the United States or six years of the entire British income within ten years! Is this possible?
However, Sun Yat-sen had a firm gaze, a sincere attitude, a calm demeanor, and looked confident. Looking past Yuan Shikai, I saw that one side of his mouth was slightly upturned, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were more obvious, and a somewhat sarcastic look appeared in his eyes from time to time. But as soon as Sun Yat-sen finished speaking, he immediately clapped and cheered: "Good! Mr. Sun Yat-sen built 200,000 miles of railway in ten years, Mr. Keqiang established 100,000 large enterprises, Song Qing trained 500,000 national civil servants, Baixi Establish 300,000 schools of various types, and Yuan is willing to train one million elite soldiers during this period. If we work together, why worry about China not flourishing?"
"Long live the President!" Sun Yat-sen also cheered.
It seems that as a successful politician or revolutionary, you must first be an excellent actor who is good at words, rich in expressions and natural in movement. Sometimes you not only have to deceive everyone into believing, but you even have to fall into it yourself.
The person Sun Yuanqi observed the most was Li Yuanhong, who played a small role like him. After all, he had robbed him of half of Hubei and was playing tricks on him, so he naturally had to know himself and his enemy. This "Captain of Shouyi" was chubby, with a round face full of innocence, and he indeed looked like a loyal and honest elder. Every time Yuan Shikai asked for his opinion, the answers were "Okay, okay" and "Yes, yes, yes". Other times, he was like a gourd with its mouth cut off, saying nothing. No wonder he is called "Li Bodhisattva".
If you really think he is a nice guy, you are totally wrong. Although he didn't say anything, Sun Yuanqi could tell from his subtle expressions and movements that he had his own opinions on all issues, but he just didn't show them. Of course, he is just a powerless vice president now, and he does not dare to behave randomly. But the more Li Yuanhong forbears, the more Sun Yuanqi becomes more wary of him, because people who can be so forbearing are generally ruthless characters, not to mention that this old fat man is also an outstanding person who has served as two presidents and three vice presidents?
¡°It¡¯s really because Sun Yat-sen talked endlessly, Huang Keqiang was fascinated, Yuan Shikai deliberately flattered, Li Yuanhong, Pili Yangqiu, and Sun Yuanqi looked on with cold eyes, so the current unity situation of ¡°you are good, I am good, big guy¡± has been maintained and continued.
" However, Sun Yat-sen went north not just to have a good time at the Presidential Palace and fool Yuan Shikai. He also had another purpose for his trip, which was to attend the reorganization meeting of the Tongmenghui.
The reason why the Tongmenghui needs to be reorganized has complex historical background and era factors, and it is also an inevitable trend under the objective historical conditions at that time. But no matter how you say it, it is inseparable from the promotion of a key figure: Song Jiaoren.
Song Jiaoren can be described as a genius in politics, and his glorious experience must start with getting to know Huang Xing. When Song Jiaoren was 21 years old, he studied in Wuchang Ordinary Middle School. He liked to discuss revolution in his spare time, and met Huang Xing by chance. Because they had similar revolutionary interests, the two quickly became close friends. In the 30th year of Guangxu's reign (1904), the two established the Huaxing Society in Changsha, with Huang Xing as president and Song Jiaoren as vice president.
Later, Song Jiaoren came to Japan and united several revolutionary groups to establish the Tongmenghui. He served as the prosecutor-general of the Ministry of Justice in the association. He also acted as general secretary of the Tongmenghui and presided over the daily work of the Tongmenghui. He became the main leader of the Tongmenghui and was a man of the hour. . But he is limited to being a man of great influence, because when people mention the Revolutionary Party, they only mention Sun and Huang. As for Song Jiaoren, he was just one of the generals, and his influence was not even as great as that of Zhang Binglin, who called Guangxu by his first name, Tao Chengzhang, who assassinated the Empress Dowager Cixi, and Cai Yuanpei, who was born in the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty. This is also where Song Jiaoren is troubled.
Soon the Wuchang Uprising broke out. This was an uprising mainly led by Hubei revolutionary groups Literary Society and Gongjinhui. The Tongmenghui was only a marginalized role. Moreover, this uprising created a number of heroes such as Li Yuanhong, Sun Wu, and Wu Zhaolin, and made Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others feel the pressure, let alone Song Jiaoren and others! Therefore, the Tongmenghui had to establish the Provisional Government of the Republic of China first.
In the provisional government, Song Jiaoren, as a Hunan senator, strongly advocated the adoption of the French-style responsible cabinet system when revising the "Organizational Outline of the Provisional Government". From this, others got a glimpse of Song Jiaoren's ambition and knew that he wanted to be the prime minister of the cabinet. The elders of the Tongmenghui, leaders of the constitutionalists, and officials of the Qing government were all very angry: Who do you think Song Jiaoren is? Also worthy of being Prime Minister? As a result, not only did the "Organizational Outline of the Provisional Government" passed by the Provisional Senate not include a prime minister, but even Sun Yat-sen's nomination of Song Jiaoren as Minister of the Interior was not approved by the Senate.
Fortunately, peace between the north and the south was reached soon, and the Republic of China government moved north. Song Jiaoren could finally show up in the cabinet, but he was only the low-ranking chief minister of agriculture and forestry. Moreover, at the local level, there are local tyrants named Beiyang Clan, Hubei Clan, Sichuan-Shaanxi Clan, etc.; in the cabinet, Zhao Bingjun, Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Jian, etc. are all far more famous than themselves, and it seems that it is far away that they will become prime minister. At this time, the alliance based on nationalism will face disintegration due to the success of the revolution and the achievement of its goals.
After the success of the revolution, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others did not have a clear plan for the future direction of the Tongmenghui. Many people even thought that disbandment was an option. Song Jiaoren firmly opposed this. In his view, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others were so successful that they could even agree to give up running for president and guarantee that Yuan Shikai would be elected and not change the president for ten years after being elected. And what about yourself? Once you lose the support of the Tongmenghui, what resources will you have to fight with Zhao Bingjun, Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Jian and others?
So the Alliance cannot fail! Not only must we not fail, we must also strive to become the largest party in Congress! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
