What Yuan Su doesn't know is whether Song Jiaoren has always been like this, or whether he decided to put aside all the previous worries after hearing that he sent people south to invite him to go north.: Read the novel [ ] But anyway
, he still felt Song Jiaoren’s sincere desire for north-south cooperation. On the other hand, it also indirectly proved that Song Jiaoren never thought about blindly seizing power. Everything Song Jiaoren did was for this country.
!
"Yes, yes, before I left this time, my uncle even talked to me specifically. What my uncle is most afraid of is the misunderstanding from the outside world, not only the uninformed people, but also those with evil intentions. Taking the opportunity to spread rumors.
Things have caused many conflicts between the north and the south. When will the rejuvenation of China be realized?" Yuan Su said with deep approval.
After hearing these words, Song Jiaoren excitedly stretched out his fingers and nodded, and said in agreement: "It's very, very true. It's not just the president who has such worries, why is Song too? Let's talk about it, everyone
We are all Chinese. Which country in China inherently wants the motherland to continue to be decadent and desolate? Politics requires everyone to sit down and discuss calmly. The key is to give this opportunity. The arrival of Mr. Yuan shows that the opportunity has arrived.
."
Yuan Su nodded with a smile and said: "Mr. Song is right. The only thing that the North and the South need to do to join hands is to give each other a chance."
Wu Zhonghua on the side agreed happily and said: "This is the best, I will revitalize China in one fell swoop."
After chatting here for a while, Yuan Su asked Song Jiaoren to order food. Song Jiaoren was very happy and cheerful. He didn't give in to any politeness. He picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Yuan Su said...
I asked Song Jiaoren some questions about party politics, and also asked about his purpose of participating in politics after going north, etc.
Song Jiaoren had already had a clear idea of these issues. He knew that Yuan Su was Yuan Shikai's clear thinker. There was no need to be secretive about certain things he said. Even if he knew that Yuan Su was testing him, he could tell him directly. He said
I have a fairly clear understanding of Yuan Shikai's character, and I also have some understanding of the Beiyang bureaucracy. It is obviously impossible for Beiyang to delegate power and implement real democracy all at once. Looking at the development of democratic politics abroad, it has taken decades.
evolution over the years and even hundreds of years.
"The key point is that the president is truly committed to promoting democratic politics. As long as he has this, everything else can be considered in the long term," he said emphatically.
"Mr. Song has such an open-minded idea, I think my uncle will be deeply moved." Yuan Su said sincerely.
However, although his tone and personal thoughts were that he admired Song Jiaoren, subjectively he still felt that his uncle Yuan Shikai might not sincerely support democracy. One was that his uncle Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor in history, and the other was that his uncle Yuan Shikai himself was extremely traditional.
People who are in power are often greedy for power. How can they sincerely delegate power to the people? Furthermore, even if the general trend calls for the promotion of democracy, this is not a matter at this stage.
"I made inquiries this morning and it seems that Mr. Xiao Yuan will set off for the north on the 20th, right? I don't know if it is a coincidence. Earlier, when Mr. Xiao Yuan did not go south, I also expected to leave on this day. [Thanks.
Support the novel]" Song Jiaoren said with a smile.
"Oh, initially it is scheduled for the 20th, but the details will have to wait for preparations. However, I can assure Mr. Song that no matter how late it is, it will not be delayed beyond the 25th." Yuan Su naturally did not pick his words.
Let’s be clear.
"It's okay, but I still hope that the sooner the better." Song Jiaoren said.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Song, I will try my best to arrange it." Yuan Su nodded and said.
In fact, Yuan Su still had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to talk to Song Jiaoren, or to ask, but the words in his heart were more or less out of place. It was just the first time that he and Song Jiaoren met, so it was impossible for them to just do this.
He was honest and sincere. I thought that on the train going north, we might be able to find a chance to have a good chat with him.
Soon, the waiters in the hotel brought out the dishes they had ordered one by one. Du Yu, Sun Lizan and the two guards who were sitting not far away also ordered some food each. Yuan Su, Song Jiaoren, and Wu Zhonghua
After being polite, everyone started eating.
However, before I had even eaten a few bites, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance to the first floor of the hotel.
Because Yuan Su and Song Jiaoren were sitting by the window, they easily heard the commotion, as if someone was having a verbal fight. Not only that, Yuan Su even heard that there seemed to be someone guarding him during the verbal fight.
It was easy to distinguish the accents of the two guards outside the door. He immediately said no to Song Jiaoren, then stood up and walked to the window to look down. Little did he know that before he stuck his head out, there was someone downstairs.
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard.
A bullet "swished" across and hit the window in front of Yuan Su impartially. He only heard the glass explode and the fragments flew everywhere. Yuan Su lay down backward out of instinct, only feeling some
Glass shards fell on the back of his neck.
At this moment, two other guards and Du Yu who were not far away ran over quickly. One person blocked the window with his body, and the other helped Yuan Su get up and evacuate into the house.
The guests who were eating in the restaurant were startled at first, and then they all panicked as if they had exploded. They dropped their chopsticks, knives, forks, and wine glasses, and ran downstairs like they were crawling. Chaos suddenly swept the entire place.
In the hotel, not only was the restaurant on the second floor a mess, but screams were heard one after another at the entrance on the first floor.
"Go and see what happened. Mr. Song, Mr. Wu, are you okay?" After Yuan Su retreated to a safe place, he immediately ordered Du Yu, and then quickly asked Song Jiaoren and Wu Zhonghua who were aside.
.
Du Yu responded and rushed downstairs with a guard. The other guard hid on the left side of the previous window and looked downstairs cautiously. At the same time, he pulled out a pistol and held it in his hand.
.
"It's okay, what...what's going on?" Song Jiaoren looked very surprised and asked in a solemn tone.
Before Yuan Su could answer, the guard standing on the left side of the window suddenly shouted.
"Be careful, everyone, climb down quickly, there is a bomb!"
Yuan Su didn't have time to think about it, and rushed towards Song Jiaoren, forcing Song Jiaoren to the ground.[ ]
Soon there was only a "bang" sound, and a burning wine bottle was thrown in from the window. The guard quickly ran up and kicked the bottle out to an empty place where no one was. The bottle rolled to other places.
direction, but there was no explosion, and even the burning flames were extinguished not long after.
At this time, several gunshots were heard downstairs again, accompanied by some people screaming and others roaring.
About five minutes later, the downstairs seemed quiet. The guard ran to the window again and took a look downstairs. Then he turned around and said to Yuan Su: "Captain, it's okay. Mr. Du and the others have caught him."
Already."
After hearing this, Yuan Su stood up and gave Song Jiaoren a hand. He patted his clothes and walked quickly to the window with a very stern look on his face.
When he came to the window sill, he leaned over and looked down. He saw that based on the hotel door, there were almost no other people within fifty meters, and many pedestrians were hiding and watching from fifty meters away. Du Yu and San
A guard and two drivers were surrounding two young men. One young man's arm was still bleeding. The two were pushed to the ground, their hands twisted behind their backs. The injured young man screamed in pain.
"What's going on? Who are they? What are their intentions?" Yuan Su asked loudly downstairs.
"Back to the Governor, we found that the two of them were inquiring about your and Mr. Song's dining table, so we stepped forward to interrogate them. Unexpectedly, they began to struggle and resist, and even took out a bomb threat. The villain had no choice but to shoot to stop them. Unexpectedly, they started to struggle and resist.
Or did you throw the bomb up there, Commander, are you okay?" The reply was not from Du Yu, but from one of the guards who had been guarding below.
Yuan Su was about to answer that it was okay, and also planned to point out that the one just now was not a bomb. However, before he could say anything, the uninjured young man struggled again. While struggling, he yelled loudly and strenuously: "Yuan's thief, you are all in trouble."
Die. You are hypocritical and hypocritical. You want to trick Mr. Song into going to the north and then do harm to Mr. Song. We will not be fooled by you. The Yuan family is a thief, and everyone will find it and punish him!"
Du Yu quickly winked at a guard, and the guard quickly pressed the young man's neck from behind, making his mouth face the ground and unable to speak.
After listening to the young man's words, Yuan Su frowned, and the word "Chuan" between his eyebrows was like a knife carving it. He felt a lot of anger in his heart at first, but after a pause, he gradually regained his senses and couldn't help but think about the matter.
Internal factors. Nowadays, the whole of Shanghai and even the whole of South China are hotly discussing the matter of Yuan Shikai sending people to welcome Song Jiaoren to the north. Although there are many different opinions and doubts, most of them are still very excited and think that this is a great opportunity.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At least, that's what it looks like!
Even if there are some rumors, they are just a matter of right and wrong. Even if many people do have grudges, at this stage no one can be sure of the outcome of the matter. How could there be such excited opposition?
His first thought was that these two young men were instigated by others, and this action obviously had another purpose.
Song Jiaoren, Wu Zhonghua and Sun Lizan also gathered around. Naturally, they had heard the young man's shout just now. Their faces showed varying degrees of surprise. Sun Lizan couldn't help but sigh and said: "
How...how could it be like this? What...what on earth is going on?"
Yuan Su turned around and looked at Song Jiaoren and Wu Zhonghua. After hesitating for a while, he asked: "Mr. Song, this is obviously a conspiracy with ulterior motives. I hope Mr. Song can carefully examine this matter."
Song Jiaoren knew Yuan Su's intentions very well. What the young man downstairs just shouted was clearly aimed at the Beiyang government. He has been engaged in political activities for so many years, so naturally he will not easily believe in one-sided phenomena and events. Moreover, what happened just now
When the accident happened, Yuan Su rushed towards him regardless of his own safety. This could already be seen that Yuan Su had no knowledge of the matter and would never want him to suffer misfortune.
After nodding solemnly, he said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao Yuan, I know very well that this may be an accident, but I also hope that Mr. Xiao Yuan can investigate it seriously. I want to see what happens.
Who created this farce? Not only did they have bad intentions, but they also risked the disdain of the world, lest we, North and South China, not be in chaos."
When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly rose, sounding sonorous and full of anger.
Yuan Su said with a strong expression: "I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. The hateful little gangster is acting recklessly at this critical moment. It is simply harming my plan to revitalize China!"
Soon, the nearby police station and police station heard the news and sent people to come. Du Yu took charge of the negotiation and handed the two troublemakers to the police to take them to the police station. Not long after, the police chief heard that it was Yuan Su and Song.
Something happened to Jiaoren and he rushed to the scene of the accident in person. Even the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau heard the news and sent a team of soldiers.
After some twists and turns, Yuan Su asked Du Yu to send someone to send Mr. Song back, and he and the police chief went to Jiangnan to create a situation and meet Zheng Rucheng. After Zheng Rucheng heard about it in detail, he felt that it was very strange, even if he couldn't guess it.
There is some conspiracy behind it, but at least they know the huge impact it will have once word spreads.
Zheng Rucheng hurriedly sent someone to invite Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu who was staying in a nearby hotel. Although he usually had no contact with Cheng Dequan and would not buy into Cheng Dequan, the governor, Cheng Dequan was now the highest-ranking official in Shanghai.
One person must find a high-ranking official to take charge of this matter.
Cheng Dequan was still a revolutionary at heart and had good relations with Sun Yat-sen, Liao Zhongkai, Chen Qimei and others. Before Zheng Rucheng sent someone to inform him, he had already heard reports from people below that someone shot and dropped bombs at the Yangtze River Hotel.
, and heard that it was related to the Beijing government and Song Jiaoren. He immediately called Chen Qimei to learn more about the matter. However, Chen Qimei said that he had just learned about it and had sent people below to investigate.
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Dequan, led by people sent by Zheng Rucheng, hurried to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and met with Zheng Rucheng, Yuan Su and others.
Before Cheng Dequan could speak, Zheng Rucheng immediately and aggressively proposed to declare martial law in Shanghai, and ordered the police chief to severely torture the two criminals to find the mastermind behind the crime.
After hearing these words, Cheng Dequan quickly said: "Such a big fight, wouldn't a small matter turn into a big deal? The most taboo thing at the moment is to publicize this matter. As the saying goes, if one word spreads to ten, it will spread to hundreds, sooner or later, the whole Shanghai will be panicked. If let
If some good people get this opportunity to stir up trouble, wouldn't that mean that they would bring injustice to the President and Mr. Yuan? Wouldn't that mean that there is no three hundred taels of silver here?"
Yuan Su agreed very much with Cheng Dequan's words, but of course he also secretly felt that the reactions of Zheng Rucheng and Cheng Dequan were both wrong. Zheng Rucheng was a disciple of his uncle Yuan Shikai after all, and he was also a frontier official. How could he not even have such a bit of common sense? Naturally at this time
If you want to keep a low profile, how can you launch a city-wide martial law with great fanfare? As for Cheng Dequan himself, who has a foundation in the revolutionary party, his position as governor of Jiangsu was only obtained by being elected by the revolutionaries during the Great Revolution. As soon as he said that a drastic investigation was needed, the other party couldn't wait
The opposition always seems to be somewhat deliberate.
However, these are pure speculations. It is useless to say anything now. We can only wait for the results of the investigation.
After thinking about this, Yuan Su said seriously: "Actually, I also think what Mr. Cheng said is right. We should not be reckless for the present. It is best to treat this accident as an individual case first, and as for the investigation, it is best to keep it secret.
If we proceed, we won’t be able to find out the results, which will make it impossible for everyone to step down.”
Zheng Rucheng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Then just follow Master Yuan's orders."
Afterwards, he made a dignified statement to the police chief, asking him to find out the results as soon as possible. At the same time, he told him to follow Mr. Yuan's words and not to make any mistakes. Naturally, the police chief promised.
, he complied with the words even with flattery and assurance.
