- Chapter 372: Revolutionary asks for monthly votes!
"In order to strive for a dignified end to the "Jiao'ao incident," the Japanese government had accepted Yuan Shikai's request in advance to arrest Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionaries and hand them over to the Chinese government. //www.//On November 1914, from the Japanese After receiving the news, Sun Yat-sen left Japan by ship. The next day, the cruise ship Sun Yat-sen took arrived at the port of Kobe. The chief of staff of the Kobe Marine Police Department led a police team to board the ship and search. The captain was Sun Yat-sen's old friend.
He cleverly hid Sun Yat-sen in a small room in the captain's office. The captain asked the police chief:
"What's up?"
"Captain, let's search for a boat passenger named Sun."
"The one with the surname Sun? We didn't notice this fake boat passenger."
"The former president of China is on the run on this ship. The captain can't hide it!"
"Won't."
The captain raised a hand and shook it, then said, "I know President Sun. I met him when he came to Japan as a state guest. If he takes this ship, I will not miss it."
The captain then opened the office door and let the officers in. He said calmly:
"Please sit down first and I will check the roster for you. If you still have any doubts, please search."
"Captain, while we are checking the passenger list, we also need to search. It won't take long."
The police chief said.
The police officers searched the ship for three hours. They even searched the anchor store, but no passenger named Sun was found. Only the captain's office and the cabin were exceptions, because to search the captain's office, there must be an order from the command post. Moreover, the captain invited them to drink tea in advance.
Sun Yat-sen survived this difficult time without any danger. Ten days later, the cruise ship arrived in Hawaii. Despite the protests of the Chinese government, the U.S. government could not prevent the entry of Sun Yat-sen, an "American citizen born in the United States." The U.S. government had no responsibility to hand over its citizens to China. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen After entering the United States, he successfully evaded pursuit by China. "
December 15, 1914 "Washington Post: Oriental Revolutionary Leader's Escape"
After the failure of the "Second Revolution", Sun Yat-sen went into exile again. For Sun Yat-sen, this was undoubtedly the most difficult and lonely period in his revolutionary career. Japan, which once supported his revolution, stopped They supported him and even wanted to arrest him and hand him over to China. In the end, he had no choice but to flee again.
At this time, Sun Yat-sen and others were not only under heavy psychological pressure because of their political and military defeats, but their lives were also difficult, and they even had difficulties in food and clothing. In ordinary times, Sun Yat-sen often ate sweet potatoes and drank sweet potato soup, and lived an extremely frugal life.
Sun Yat-sen felt deeply guilty when he witnessed the revolutionaries living in exile in foreign countries and living a life of hunger and cold. However, as the leader of the party, he was unable to help them. In a letter he wrote to the Nanyang revolutionaries, he described: "The revolutionaries in exile in the United States are in financial distress and have too much food and clothing. I hope the Nanyang revolutionaries can quickly raise funds to help solve their difficulties"
Since the birth of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, it has been in a difficult situation. The reorganization of domestic and foreign branches has not progressed smoothly, and the fundraising work has not achieved much. The breakup between Sun and Huang, and the establishment of the European Affairs Research Association, further led to the split between the two. The Revolutionary Party found itself in extreme difficulty in raising funds at home and abroad.
Especially during the "Jiao'ao Incident", the Revolutionary Party's attitude of cooperation with Japan made overseas Chinese even more angry. For a time, the Revolutionary Party found itself in extreme difficulties overseas. In such adversity, many Revolutionary Party members They were all dejected and expressed deep worries about the future of the revolution.
"However, Sun Yat-sen disagreed with this and was still full of confidence in the future of the revolution. He urged the revolutionaries to cheer up, restore the indomitable and repeatedly rising revolutionary spirit during the Tongmenghui period, and continue to fight for the revolutionary cause. He warned his comrades: "You can neither be discouraged by failure nor shrink due to difficulties. Concentrate your energy and move forward vigorously, in line with the trend of world progress and in line with the natural principles of the ebb and flow of good and evil, and you will eventually succeed. One day. Even if you fail to achieve it, there will surely be those among the forty million people who hear the news and rise up."
At the same time, Sun Yat-sen always focused his main energy on armed struggle. He continued to travel around the United States, raising military expenditures and organizing forces to instigate a domestic uprising against Yuan. The middle- and lower-class party members with more radical ideas even advocated the implementation of "assassinations."
Just like in the late Qing Dynasty, under the despair of revolutionaries who had repeatedly suffered setbacks in the revolution, a strange argument suddenly became widely circulated, that is, if all the powerful officials of the Qing court were assassinated, and one less one was killed, the revolution would be Not far from success. For those middle- and lower-class party members with radical ideas, political assassination seems to have once again become a powerful weapon to "overthrow Yuan Shikai."
For a time, in Hawaii, where hundreds of revolutionaries gathered, Chinese-language magazines and newspapers were all advocating articles about "continue the revolution and assassinate important officials." Assassination is a personalistic revolution and a kind of revolution. A low-cost revolution.
But for Sun Yat-sen, unlike the middle- and lower-class party members who advocated assassinations, he neither opposed nor supported assassinations. However, as a revolutionary, he did not mind using assassinations to encourage people's hearts. While Sun Yat-sen traveled around the United States, giving speeches to the Chinese to raise military funds, the overseas Chinese who had supported the revolution were unexpectedly indifferent, and even the "Zhi Gong Tang" closed the door to him.
"Li Zicheng!"
In an apartment in San Francisco, Sun Yat-sen, who was writing an article exposing Yuan Shikai's true nature, suddenly stopped writing. He frowned when he saw the three words written in the article.
Whether it is Sun Yat-sen or Yuan Shikai, they are too far away for overseas Chinese, but Li Zicheng is very close to them. He is also a member of the overseas Chinese. Even now, overseas Chinese in the United States are still proud of them. Because of this, they are psychologically and instinctively inclined towards Li Zicheng.
No matter how Yuan Shikai's "face" is exposed, for those overseas Chinese, they have great trust in Li Zicheng, the "pride of overseas Chinese", not only because of his performance in the "Jiao'ao Incident", but more importantly Yes, in the past two years, he has shown concern for overseas Chinese.
In the United States, a considerable number of overseas Chinese make a living by opening laundries. In China, the work of washing clothes is done by the women in the family. Men generally do not wash clothes, and there is no such business as a laundromat. In other words, the so-called "Chinese laundry rooms" run by Chinese workers are entirely found in the United States. The reason why Chinese men want to engage in such a job that they are completely unfamiliar with is purely out of necessity. Because opening a laundry room does not require much capital, nor does it require too complicated technology. As long as you work hard, making ends meet shouldn't be a problem. As a result, "Chinese Laundry" signs began to appear everywhere in the city. Gradually, the Chinese have made some achievements in this industry through hard work and low fees.
Opening a laundry room is very hard work. First of all, you have to scrape together enough capital from relatives and friends, or some people organize together to contribute some money to form a fund, and loan the money to one of the members every year. In this way, each member can basically wait in line for a considerable loan to use for his or her own business. With the capital, the "Chinese Laundry" was opened, and the next step was to work hard.
Generally, the laundry room is the one with the front shop and the back home. The laundromat owner and his partners or employees lived in a small room at the back of the shop. Work starts early every day, and some people keep going out to pick up the guests' dirty clothes, sheets, etc., while several others wash, iron, iron, and starch from morning to night. One batch has just been washed and the next batch has arrived. Most of the time, there is no time to rest at all, lunch is basically hasty, and dinner often cannot be eaten until late at night.
Working like this all day long is like a slave. Because most of the work is done while standing and the irons are very heavy, many laundry workers suffer from back pain at a young age. In addition, since they live in the laundry from morning to night, the laundry workers lead a completely isolated life. Many people stay in that small store for several years.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The belief that supports their lives is to save some money and return home in rich clothes, return to their families, and let them live a better life. However, the fact is that very few laundry workers are able to achieve their ideal return home.
But even so, "Chinese Laundries" are still open all over big cities in the United States. In New York, "Chinese Laundries" are almost all over the streets of the city. At this time, Chinese people in the United States are opening laundry rooms or "Chinese Laundries" The Chinese working here account for more than a quarter of all Chinese immigrants. It is the laundry that supports overseas Chinese in the United States.
Two years ago, when Lianyungang produced the first batch of washing machines and new irons, thousands of washing machines, dryers and lightweight irons were provided to overseas Chinese in the United States through Zhi Gong Tang before they were put on the market. In the past two years, self-service washing machines and dryers have also been put into Chinese laundry rooms in the United States, benefiting tens of thousands of overseas Chinese.
It can be said that for overseas Chinese, they are more willing to believe in Li Zicheng who has brought them benefits, so when Li Zicheng stands on Yuan Shikai's side, the vast majority of them will naturally not believe in the exposed "dictatorship" What¡¯s more, in his opinion, China seems to be better now than in the past.
China defeated Japan and its international status seems to have improved. Isn¡¯t this exactly the purpose of revolution? ?Since the goal has been achieved, why do we still need revolution? Rather than using the money they saved up after breaking their waists by washing pieces of "six-cent" clothes to buy "revolutionary bonds" that would not be cashed out until who knew when, they were more willing to buy bonds issued by the central government. Bonds or industrial bonds issued by Huaihai Bank, those bonds pay interest every year, and compared to the "revolutionary destruction", those bonds are used for national construction.
Song Qingling, who was reading telegrams and letters, could clearly see that Sun Yat-sen, who had his back turned to her at this time, seemed to be thinking about something. He started assisting his eldest sister as Sun Yat-sen's secretary last year, and then officially served as Sun Yat-sen's English secretary last September. After that, she has been working diligently to help Sun Yat-sen, taking on all the correspondence, handling correspondence, providing information and other heavy daily tasks and completing them very well.
Especially after Sun Yat-sen went into exile in the United States, Soong Ching Ling, who had studied in the United States for many years, understood Americans and the United States. She always tried her best to help the Chinese revolutionary leader. In the common fighting life, she saw Sun Yat-sen For decades, I can't help but admire my noble character of not being afraid of hardships, working tirelessly, and not seeking personal gain for the revolution. Inspired and influenced by Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary spirit, her understanding of many practical and theoretical issues in the Chinese revolution has been greatly improved, and her revolutionary confidence and enthusiasm have also been greatly enhanced. When she worked with Sun Yat-sen, she often felt a fiery passion burning in her heart. She once wrote to her sister Soong Meiling who was studying in the United States:
¡°I¡¯ve never been so happy. I thought, this kind of thing is what I¡¯ve wanted to do since I was a little girl. I was really close to the center of the revolutionary movement.¡±
She also said to herself silently:
"I can help China, and I can also help Mr. Sun. He needs me."
In the pain of repeated failures and the lonely life of exile overseas, Sun Yat-sen also found comfort in Soong Ching Ling's support, encouragement, help and care. It can be said that during these difficult and difficult years, Sun Yat-sen has always received support and encouragement from Soong Ching Ling, especially in the face of the current difficulties.
When sending the compiled telegrams and letters to Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling looked at Mr. Sun, whose face was full of annoyance, and asked with concern.
"Mr. Sun, what are you thinking about?"
With the corner of his eye falling on the speech, Soong Ching Ling suddenly saw three words "Li Zicheng". That's right, it's him. The only person who can make Mr. Sun so troubled is this man who is not in the United States but is still in the United States. A very influential person.
After the "Zhang Yuan Case", people initially accused Yuan Shikai of having ulterior motives. At that time, the revolutionaries in the United States, including Mr. Sun, privately "celebrated" this "dog eat dog" type of internal strife. And he regretted his fate endlessly.
Even Li Zicheng¡¯s enemies can hardly accuse him of anything. Most of the time, he occupied the highest moral point, but Song Qingling knew that to the Revolutionary Party, Li Zicheng was a traitor "no less than" Yuan Shikai.
There were also people in the middle and lower levels of the Revolutionary Party who advocated the assassination of this "big traitor". However, after the news came that he had been stabbed, except for a few radicals who applauded, more people fell silent, and Mr. Sun also Secretly worried, in the end, just as Mr. Sun feared, after blaming Yuan Shikai, starting from Liang Qichao, people targeted the exiled revolutionary party and Mr. Sun.
They kept saying that Mr. Sun was the real instigator behind the scenes. The purpose of assassinating Li Zicheng was to create unrest in China, incite civil war, and thus seek "the interests of one party." Moreover, Liang Qichao's reasons were extremely sufficient. He not only listed them all The assassinations of revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty were supported by articles in magazines and newspapers founded by the revolutionaries in the United States that "advocated assassinations", as well as the fact that Li Zicheng was ranked first on the assassination list. Even in those magazines and newspapers, According to the newspaper, the reasons for assassinating Li Zicheng were very simple. First, he was "stubbornly opposed to the revolution", and second, he was "in charge of a heavy army." "With Li's death, China will be plunged into strife. If the revolution can take advantage of the chaos, it will succeed." In the past, these words were just the wild words of radicals in the Revolutionary Party. But after the assassination actually occurred, the wild words became a "manifesto" once analyzed by those who were interested.
But this kind of "manifesto" made the Revolutionary Party pay a heavy price. Just half a month ago, Situ Meitang, the leader of Hongmen's "Zhi Gong Tang" hall, clearly told Mr. Sun that they would no longer give him any support. , and even asked Mr. Sun to "quit Hongmen." Just two days ago, when Mr. Sun gave a speech in New York, the venue was attacked. Unlike the past when he was ordered by the Manchus or Yuan Ni, the attack was "laundry washing". The reason for the spontaneous action of "people" is very simple - "the crime of thorns".
"Perhaps the outside world will speculate whether Mr. Sun is the instigator behind the scenes, but Song Qingling, who has served as Mr. Sun's English secretary since September last year, knows??, at least from that time until now, although Mr. Sun was extremely angry with Li Zicheng, he never instigated anyone to assassinate Li Zicheng.
"Mr. Sun, I just received a telegram from China. Li Zicheng's injury has stabilized. It is said that he used a new drug developed in Lianyungang!"
Out of the goal of comforting her husband, Soong Ching Ling said it in a tone of talking about something new.
"oh!"
Although Sun Yat-sen responded expressionlessly, he still became interested.
"New medicine"
After sighing, Sun Yat-sen said again.
"Li Zhiyuan is good at industry and is good at using skills. This person"
Looking out the window, Sun Yat-sen couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought of the reason why he completely broke with Li Lianyun during the "Second Revolution". If he hadn't done that back then, maybe
"The injury has healed. Come to think of it, Li Zhiyuan will soon go to the capital to become Yuan Shikai's prime minister. This is China"
Thinking that Li Zicheng was about to become the Prime Minister, Sun Yat-sen felt for the first time that the prospects of the revolution were slim. Li Zicheng was different from Yuan Shikai. Although Li Zicheng might have a reputation of "treating people with sincerity", in his opinion, Li Zicheng's scheming Far beyond what Yuan Shikai could compare with, he was more cautious, far-sighted, and more When such a person becomes prime minister, the prospect of revolution
Although she didn¡¯t want to mention that matter, Song Qingling knew that it couldn¡¯t be hidden.
"Mr. Sun, the telegram mentioned that Li Zicheng has called Yuan Shikai back and will leave for the capital soon!"
