Chapter 301 The enemy of the enemy(1/2)

In time, the chaos in Shandong was rampant, and Yuan Shikai's actions were strongly supported by the German Navy Colonel Thorber, and he sent troops to help Yuan Shikai suppress Yihequan.

The new army was indeed much stronger than the original Qing army's green camp soldiers and Huai army. Under the leadership of Feng Guozhang and Duan~, the Wuwei Right Army, with the cooperation of the Jiao'ao colonial army of 300 countries, launched a bloody suppression of Yihequan.

Except for the original Big Sword Association and the newly established Yihe Boxer backbone members, the other boxers were ordinary people, including those who were persecuted by the church, but more were those who joined the Boxer Rebellion after being persecuted by Yihe Boxer. It can be imagined that they would naturally bring the shame they encountered before to the new innocent people.

Civil turmoil! It’s a vicious cycle!

The snowball is getting bigger and bigger as time goes by!

At this time, facing Yuan Shi's crazy and bloody suppression, the boxers were already scared to death. They were either caught or fled to other places. In less than half a month, all the boxers in Shandong were suppressed and all those who resisted were executed.

Yuan Shikai's actions shocked the whole world. While commending Yuan Shikai, churches from all countries listed Yuan Shikai as a friend of the great powers and a executioner of China in newspapers.

In this way, Yuan Kai did not become famous in the Xuxu coup, but became famous after suppressing Shandong boxing people, which fulfilled Yuan Shikai's long-cherished wish.

From then on, Yuan Shikai, as a new new star in China, followed Zhang Yunfei and Li Hongzhang, and was noticed by countries around the world, and also deeply aroused the concerns of the Qing court.

The Qing Dynasty central government gradually felt that Yuan Shikai would be the new Han warlord after Li Hongzhang, but Yuan Shikai has grown bigger now, and it was too late for the Qing government to regret it.

So they relaxed their vigilance against Zhang Feidi in the Northeast. On the contrary, because of Zhang Yun's identity as a bannerman in the Enclave, they became more tilted towards Zhang Yunfei. However, they did not know that Zhang Yunfei was the largest Han warlord. A large land-level Han warlord wearing a bannerman's skin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as the country was in chaos, Zhang Yunfei from Northeast China was concentrating on his head.

General Shengjing Mansion

Zhang Yunfei is secretly meeting a Russian. Perhaps everyone has guessed his name.

That's right, it's a pretty awesome figure in later generations. Vladimi-Ilyic-Lenin.

Lenin, whose original name was Ulyanov, was born in Sinbirsk on the Volga River (now Ulyanovsk). He entered Kazan University in 1887 to study law and was arrested for participating in revolutionary activities. In the autumn of 1893, he moved to Petersburg.

In 1895, he founded the Petersburg Workers' Liberation Association. At the end of that year, he was arrested and imprisoned again. After living in prison in January, he was exiled to Siberia. During his three years in Siberia, he began to use the pseudonym "Lenin" to write the book "The Exhibition of Russian Capitalism".

In early March 1898, when Lenin was still in exile, a group of Russian socialists held the first party congress, proclaiming the establishment of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. The exile rally, which was made by Lenin, announced the joining of the Social Democratic Labor Party.

In fact, since the First Congress of the Communist Party of China did not truly establish the Party. The economic faction had an advantage in the committee. After the First Congress of the Communist Party of China, the organization became more disintegrating, politically shaky, and ideologically more chaotic. The economic faction became the main obstacle to the founding of the Party.

Under the influence of this situation, the Socialist Migrant Workers Party, with Lenin, could not receive economic support, and therefore their activities were greatly restricted. Just now, news came from the east that Russia had suffered a defeat in the Qing Dynasty.

Immediately followed by the Russian Tsar's series of great naval plans and the implementation of new Far East policies. The domestic contradictions were transferred to the Far East. Therefore, the pressure from the Socialist Militant Labor Party was reduced, and Lenin, exiled in Siberia, was able to escape.

However, Lenin did not go directly to Germany to seek support from William II as in history, but chose Northeast China, which was closest to him.

In Lenin's view, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Before, Germany had always been a certain hostile force in Russia. The little destruction between Russian Emperor Nicholas II and German Emperor William II had been known by politicians all over the world, so Lenin had the idea of ​​seeking German help.

But now, the conflict between Germany and Russia has not yet exploded, but Zhang Yunfei from the Far East has become Russia's biggest enemy, and it is as fierce as he is about to prepare for war.

I heard that Zhang Yunfei had enough money, so I sought Zhang Yunfei's help, which became Lenin's goal of raising funds for activities.

Before meeting with Lenin, Zhang Yunfei had a specific discussion with Tang Shaoyi. Various information showed that cooperation with Lenin would have more benefits than disadvantages to Zhang Yunfei and even China in the future.

According to Tang Shaoyi's report on receiving Lenin's return, Lenin's purpose was only to raise funds for activity from Zhang Yunfei. It seems that Lenin has not yet had the idea of ​​an armed uprising.

In the conference room, there were only Zhang Yunfei and Lenin sitting opposite each other on both sides of the huge conference table. In addition, each of them brought an interpreter, the conference room seemed a bit deserted.

Zhang Yunfei looked at Lenin carefully. Apart from his bald head and a pair of iconic goatee beards, Zhang Yunfei really couldn't see anything special about Lenin.

He was less than thirty, but Lenin gave Zhang Yunfei the impression that he was like a man in his forties or fifties. Did he have been in prison for a long time? Or was he blown by the Siberian cold current during his exile?

Zhang Yunfei thought in his heart: Maybe this is the so-called greatness in ordinary and magic in corruption!

At this time, no one knew that the ordinary man in front of him overthrew the huge Russian Empire and established the world's first socialist country - the Soviet Republic.

While Zhang Yunfei was looking at Lenin, Lenin was also looking at Zhang Yunfei, looking at this young man from the East and the warlord of the ancient empire.

Perhaps because of the weather, Lenin just felt wronged. He was also people who were almost three years old. Why was there such a big difference between him and Zhang Yunfei?

In Lenin's eyes, Zhang Yunfei looked young and elegant, but he was a down-and-out person who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

After a look of greeting, Zhang Yunfei said first: "I have long admired Mr. Lenin's name. I don't know what kind of work does Mr. Lenin have to go to Shengjing?"

Lenin smiled and said, "This is the first time I have come to the ancient country of the East. I thought that I could catch your eyes on myself, but I am well aware of your name!"

Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: Damn, I didn’t expect you to be a bit conventional!

But no wonder it again! After all, Lenin is only a backbone of the minority party, far less powerful than he would when he became famous in the next few years. He is here to recruit sponsorship from Zhang Yunfei, so naturally some common sayings such as flattery are inevitable.

Zhang Yunfei just looked at Lenin with a smile.

Lenin continued: "Jane

,I think the enemy of the enemy is a friend, what do you think?"

Zhang Yunfei nodded and replied: "That's right! I agree with this very innovative point of view!"

Lenin said: "Our party belongs to the revolutionary party in Russia and is not allowed. Of course, the Duma Parliament is actually just a decoration, just a puppet of Tsar Nicholas II. I think you already know the program of our party, we are going to overthrow the Tsar. Now you and your followers are preparing to fight against the reactionary army of the Tsar government, which is believed to be unprecedented! For this reason, I hope that our Social Diplomatic Labor Party can achieve extensive cooperation with you and your cabinet."

"Cooperate?" Zhang Yunfei asked, "I don't know how to cooperate?"

Lenin explained: "Our political party is now in a state of financial constraints. I hope to get your force or financial support!"

Zhang Yunfei shook his head and said, "Mr. Lenin, I think you should understand that this is not cooperation.

I can provide you with financial support and support, but what can I get? Or, what benefits can you or your political party do to me?"

Lenin knew that Zhang Yunfei was the master who did not show off the rabbit or the eagle, but he really had nothing to do to make Zhang Yunfei like him now. He said that it was cooperation, but he actually hoped that Zhang Yunfei would give alms.

Lenin said embarrassedly: "This... Mr. Zhang, we... know that there is nothing that our party can give back to you at present! However, I believe that your lofty eyes will surely show that our party will definitely become the first party to dominate Russia in the future. Please believe me and your eyes. World history tells us that an advanced party will eventually defeat the backward parties, and we firmly believe that Marxism can defeat the rule of the Tsar!"

Zhang Yunfei smiled in his heart: Damn, I naturally have a big vision, you are right!

But then he thought about it again. Lenin's first uprising in history was during the Russo-Japanese War, which forced Russia to be willing to seek peace with Japan. It can be seen that Lenin and others were also very powerful without support.

What if Zhang Yunfei supports Lenin? Provide him with funds and weapons?

Sisi, it seems to be a good idea!

However, Lenin is so poor now that he should have something better for Zhang Yunfei?

By the way, this guy will be a Russian spiritual leader in the future. If he is forced to sign some treaty documents with Zhang Yunfei now, wouldn’t he be able to make a profit?

Zhang Yunfei laughed in his heart, planning his trick, but he still frowned and said, "If you have nothing to do with me, I can only give you limited help, but if you can give my country some moral support from the national standpoint, or from your Marxist standpoint, I believe that I will do my best to help you and your political party."

Lenin was confused when he heard this. He really didn't understand what Zhang Yunfei meant, so he asked: "What does Mr. Zhang have to say directly. I or our political party can do it, and I will definitely not refuse!"

Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: What you want is your words!

So he smiled and said, "Actually nothing! I know you are a loyal believer of Marxism! Marxism firmly believes in opposing all capitalism and believes that war of aggression is a sin! Right?"

"That's right!" Lenin said happily: "I didn't expect you to know too, it's really exciting!"

Depend on!

Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: Of course, I can’t be more familiar with it. Except for not learning it in my mother’s womb, I have memorized all these things from childhood to adulthood!

cut!

My Marxist theory is much better than that of your young classmate!

Or should we educate this Lenin child with the Marxist experience of later generations?

After Zhang Yunfei's heart was skewed, he said: "Actually, what I mean is that I hope your party can promise that the Russian Tsarist government will invade China's territory is illegal. If your party can overthrow the Tsarist government in the future, I hope to return the territory that the Tsar forcibly culminated from China!"

So that's what happened?

Lenin breathed a sigh of relief and thought Zhang Yunfei said something unrealistic? If it were this issue, Lenin could naturally promise Zhang Yunfei. After all, it was wrong to invade others by the teachings of Marxism!

What's more, the territory that Tsarist Russia invaded was originally China's territory, and it was appropriate to give it to others. In addition, the most important thing is that some land is very small for Russia, because Russia's focus is still on Europe.

However, Lenin had already agreed to Zhang Yunfei's conditions in his heart, and he could not tell Zhang Yunfei directly, "Okay, take it whatever you want!" That's yours."

When Zhang Yunfei saw Lenin thinking, he asked, "What? Mr. Lenin, is this trouble for you?"

Lenin pretended to be difficult to make a decision and frowned and said, "In principle, I agree with your point of view, but this is a problem between countries after all, and there are many interests in it. Of course, I am very happy to do this, but my political parties probably need to consider it!"

Zhang Yunfei thought to himself: It’s so bad, I’m still pulling it!

"Tell me! If I can give you any conditions, I can exchange this promise from the noble party!" Zhang Yunfei asked, "Don't go too far! You must know that all you pay is a blank check, and I have to pay!"

Seeing Zhang Yunfei smiling and threatening Lenin, he naturally understood what Zhang Yunfei meant, it was nothing more than that this thing was worthless. What Zhang Yunfei agreed was just to give Lenin face.

So Lenin said: "I think if you can provide our political party with 10 million rubles of funds, I think our political party will definitely appreciate you!"

Zhang Yunfei said intimately: You really dare to speak? Ten million rubles are more than one million gold? Do you think I am a local rich man?

"You are such a rigorous person, and I didn't expect you to be really joking?" Zhang Yunfei replied with a smile: "It's impossible to have ten million rubles?"

Lenin said with a smile, "I remember that the Russian government of Tsarist Russia occupied a total of nearly 2 million square kilometers of land in your country. How much do you think these lands are worth?"

Zhang Yunfei raised his eyebrows and said to himself: Lenin has the potential to be a leader, and the bargaining price is getting higher and higher!

Zhang Yunfei became interested and asked: "Of course I know how much it will cost to regain these lands, but the problem is that your political party cannot fulfill your promises to me now, and it is a verbal promise. How do you let me believe your promises?"

Then Zhang Yunfei said, "One million rubles, and I will give them to you in installments!"

Lenin was depressed and thought that Zhang Yunfei was really a bargaining expert, so he cut it off in one go

Wan, but when I think about it, it’s no wonder that people are like this. If you give me a verbal promise, you will take out a huge sum of money. Isn’t that a fool?

So Lenin said, "It's good that you will provide us with 8 million rubles of funds. On behalf of our political party, I will sign a written agreement with you. In this way, after our political party gains the rule of Russia, we can cash it out!"

"Give you one million rubles as funding! You sign an agreement on behalf of your political party!" Zhang Yunfei said firmly.
To be continued...
