In addition, he also elaborated on what he saw and heard at the Presidential Palace in Beijing, including the content of his night conversation with his uncle. At the same time, he also indirectly suggested that the current domestic situation must implement "centralization of power" as soon as possible.
Lin Boxhen did not have much aversion to "centralization". He believed that if China wanted to solve its fragmented situation, it would naturally need a central government with sufficient power. At the same time, he did not expect that there would be so many differences within Beiyang, although it was only
Yuan Su's one-sided statement, but when Yuan Su listed several different political forces, he spoke clearly and clearly, and it obviously does not seem to be false.
"Zi Jing, are everything you said true?" Lin Boshen said solemnly.
"It's already come to this point, why should I lie to you? You may not know that many people in the north think that my uncle has hope of cooperating with Mr. Song. When Mr. Song disguised himself as a Japanese and was operating on the border between China and North Korea, he
My uncle secretly provided support, which is why he raised the issue of the national boundary between the islands and destroyed the Japanese conspiracy on the China-North Korea border. I had an interview with Mr. Song yesterday. In fact, Mr. Song was also full of confidence in this trip north. He said
I will have a good discussion with my uncle later and try to reach a consensus." Yuan Su said in a smooth tone.
"Did you meet Mr. Song yesterday?" Lin Boxhen asked again.
"Yes, speaking of it, last night Mr. Song and I had an appointment to have dinner at the Yangtze River Hotel, and an accident happened during the meeting. It was precisely because of yesterday's accident, and what you said when you and I met,
I feel more and more that this matter is very strange." Yuan Su sighed, deliberately making his tone solemn.
"When Mr. Song gave a speech in Songjiang a few days ago, he lived here with me. I talked to him every day. An accident happened when you were having dinner yesterday. What accident was it?" Lin Boshen's expression became more and more serious.
After he finished the first part of the story quickly, he then asked urgently.
"While Mr. Song and I were having dinner, two students downstairs in the hotel suddenly threw Molotov cocktails at the window. After being restrained by my guards, one of the students shouted that Mr. Song would be in danger if he went north," Yuan Su said calmly.
said.
"How could this happen?" Lin Boshen asked, but his tone was not very strong, as if he had expected it. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, with countless thoughts in his mind.
"Renqing, do you know something?" Yuan Su asked quickly.
"Well, to tell you the truth, someone did come to see Mr. Song before. I was nearby that time, and I heard the conversation between Mr. Song and this person clearly. The person warned Mr. Song that it might be dangerous to go north this time.
He also said that there are people in the north who are ready to harm Mr. Song at any time. If it is good, it will only be under house arrest. If it is bad, it may even put his life in danger. However, Mr. Song did not listen at all at that time. He also said that if the north wants to harm him, then
Yuan Shikai cannot bear the crime of risking the disdain of the world. What's more, if he really wants to harm Mr. Song, he would do it before the congressional election, so why wait until today?" Lin Boxen said.
"Who is this person? Why does he think so? Where did his news come from?" Yuan Su's eyes widened, his face was extremely urgent, and he quickly asked.
"I never expected that Mr. Song had repeatedly warned me about this matter, but just a few days later, a student would act so impulsively. This... this is really too reckless." Lin Boxen did not answer.
Yuan Su muttered the question as if talking to himself.
He knew that Yuan Su and Song Jiaoren met for dinner yesterday, and Yuan Su unabashedly told what the arrested student said at the time. It was obvious that Yuan Su had no intention of harming Song Jiaoren, at least Yuan Su did not interfere.
to the conspiracy in the north. According to the secret information revealed by Yuan Su before, the attitude of the north towards Song Jiaoren's journey north was different. Perhaps Yuan Shikai had no intention of harming Song Jiaoren, but was just acting arbitrarily.
"Renqing, I've told you the news I know, why are you still so tight-lipped?" Yuan Su was a little anxious and couldn't help but say in a stronger tone.
"It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that... there are too many involved. I'm worried that you will have random thoughts, and I'm even more worried that you will leak this information." Lin Bo said with deep concern.
"I have said before that the conversation between you and me today will not be passed on to a third person. You also hope that this North-South cooperation can proceed smoothly. Now you are in the South and I am in the North. As long as you and I work together,
I will definitely be able to escort Mr. Song as he goes north." Yuan Su said loyally.
Lin Bo was silent for a while, having a fierce ideological struggle in his mind, but he knew that since he could sit down with Yuan Su to discuss the matter in detail, and Yuan Su had repeatedly made promises, it was obvious that he should negotiate with Yuan Su on certain positions.
Reaching a consensus is.
After taking a deep breath, he said: "Well, this person's name is Matsuda Keiichiro, and his Chinese cultural name is Song Jingyi. About ten days ago, he brought the Beiyang government to the party meeting organized by Mr. Song about ten days ago.
He revealed that he was plotting to borrow money from foreign countries and actively expand armaments. He also said that according to information provided by informants in the Presidential Palace in Beijing, Mr. Song's trip north would not make any political progress. If Mr. Song did not report to Yuan Da
If the president compromises and gives in, he is likely to be harmed in the end."
When Yuan Su heard the Japanese name, he couldn't help but get angry. He quickly asked: "Who is this Matsuda Keiichiro? How can he participate in the Kuomintang's inner-party meeting? Furthermore, how can you just rely on
Do you easily believe a Japanese person’s words?”
Lin Boxhen shook his head helplessly, and after hesitating again for a while, he said: "Zi Jing, you don't know something. This Matsuda Keiichiro is a disciple of Uchida Ryohei, and a friend of Kita Ikki, the former leader of the foreign affairs committee of the Alliance. He himself
In the early years, I followed Mr. Sun in Nanyang and participated in planning the Guangzhou Uprising. In terms of seniority, I can be regarded as an old member of the Tongmenghui."
Yuan Su muttered the words "Uchida Ryohei" and "Kita Ikki" carefully, then he suddenly woke up and said quickly: "You mean, Uchida Ryohei of the Black Dragon Club?"
Lin Boshen nodded and said: "Yes, it is Mr. Uchida of the Black Dragon Society."
Yuan Su secretly took a breath of air-conditioning. He had long known that China's Tongmenghui and Japan's Black Dragon Association had an extremely complicated relationship. When Sun Yat-sen held the founding meeting of the Tongmenghui in Japan, the venue was at Uchida Ryohei's home. It can be said that the Black Dragon Association
Behind the scenes, the Huaxing Society, the Xingzhong Society, the Liberation Society, and other large and small revolutionary organizations were unified and merged into the Tongmenghui. As an extreme right-wing organization in Japan, the Black Dragon Society can be said to be the behind-the-scenes torrent that promotes Japan's "mainland policy."
Of course, he could not deny the help of the Black Dragon Society to the Chinese Meng Menghui, nor could he deny that many enthusiastic Japanese friends at that time devoted their efforts and even sacrificed their lives to help the Chinese Meng Menghui complete its revolutionary cause. However, there has always been a conflict between the two countries and the two nations.
There is a gap, but there is still a profit drive on the other side of the friendship. What's more, the Black Dragon Society's separatist activities against the three eastern provinces of China in the middle period were clearly exposed. This shows that this organization must not be taken lightly.
When Lin Bo saw that Yuan Su was silent, he continued to introduce: "Matsuda Keiichiro is now the personal secret of Mr. Sun's close friend Miyazaki Toten. The Kuomintang party meeting not long ago officially went to the scene to take notes under the instructions of Mr. Miyazaki. How did you know?
, Keiichiro Matsuda rushed from Japan to Shanghai to attend the meeting, and said that he had received the tip that night."
Yuan Su didn't know who Miyazaki Toten was, but Sun Yat-sen often lived in Japan, and it was normal for him to meet one or two close friends. He now knew the name Keiichiro Matsuda, and Lin Boxen introduced the other person's background.
, my first impression is that the other person is not a good person.
Wouldn't it be fair to say that Ryohei Uchida was a member of the Black Dragon Club? Even if Ryohei Uchida's political stance was moderate when he was in charge of the Black Dragon Club, the mere fact that Keiichiro Matsuda and Ikki Kita were classmates is enough to prove that there is a suspicion that is difficult to remove.
. You must know that Kitaki is a Japanese thinker, social activist, political philosopher, advocate of nationalism and supranationalism, and the founder of Japanese fascism theory. Although he participated in the Chinese revolution in his early years, after the May 4th Movement in Shanghai
He concocted the "Outline of the Japan Transformation Act" and put forward a set of ideas for the fascism of Japan. However, in 1919, he and Okawa Shuaki established the fascist group Yucunsha, which directly affected the Nishida Taxation in 1936.
He planned the February 26 Incident, but failed and was executed by the Japanese government the following year.
After thinking about this, he said seriously: "Even if he has a deep connection with the alliance, he can't mean what he says. Why can't you figure this out?"
Lin Boxhen said: "He is not fabricating it out of thin air, but what he said is accurate. One of the things the president borrowed from foreigners was Japan's Yokohama Shokin Bank. It was easy for him to obtain information about this from the country. As for the Beiyang government's expansion of armaments, that is also true.
Evidence, because the War Department is negotiating an arms loan with the Japanese Legation."
Yuan Su said: "So, you also joined the Kuomintang?"
Lin Boshen nodded and said: "Although I was completely disappointed when I left Luanzhou, after returning to Shanghai to recuperate for a while, I always felt that a dignified seven-foot man should do something for the country. Now that the Qing Dynasty is gone, what China needs is
It was an open political environment, so when the Kuomintang was reorganized and established last year, I immediately joined the party."
Yuan Su knew that the operation of a political party required considerable funds. As the son of a wealthy businessman, Lin Boxen could not only easily join the party, but could even be directly recruited as a key party member. Otherwise, how could Lin Boxen know these high-level information?
Is it clear? He has no objection to Lin Boxen joining the Kuomintang, but it is obviously too much for Lin Boxen to believe in Matsuda Keiichiro's words so easily. Even if what Matsuda Keiichiro said is true, it does not mean that it is the intention of the president.
"When I first arrived in Nanjing, I met with representatives of the Kuomintang, but they didn't respond much. The same was true when I arrived in Shanghai. Mr. Yu, Mr. Keqiang, and Mr. Chen all expressed their high expectations for this North-South cooperation. After all,
What are your party’s plans now?” he asked again.
"I don't know about this. It's possible that Mr. Song refuted Matsuda Keiichiro's words very seriously at that time, so the party's senior officials did not take this matter to heart. But... you said that Mr. Chen refers to Chen Yingshi?"
"Exactly."
"This is strange. Chen Yingshi was present at that meeting. After hearing what Keiichiro Matsuda said, he immediately became very excited and kept saying that he had expected that the Beiyang government would not be so kind.
He also said that Mr. Song's trip north this time will be very unlucky." Lin Bo said with a deep frown.
"How could this happen? But when Mr. Chen met me, he had a nice smile and was very enthusiastic. His behavior was clear and full of expectations." Yuan Su couldn't help but become vigilant. He realized that this was true.
problematic.
"I don't understand either. However, I heard that Chen Yingshi's temper is weird to begin with, especially after smoking a cigarette, he becomes completely like two people. In addition, although Mr. Song once again stated that he would not believe the rumors from the outside world,
But I could see that Mr. Keqiang, as well as Mr. Liao Zhongkai and Mr. Hu Zhantang all had grudges. Later, Mr. Liao Zhongkai told me about this matter in private. He said that he was very worried and was going to send a message.
Go to Japan and ask Mr. Sun to put some pressure on the Beiyang government, and it is best to mobilize Japan's diplomatic influence." Lin Boxhen continued.
After Sun Yat-sen stepped down as interim president, he served for a period of time as a consultant to the Beijing Presidential Palace and a national railway general engineering consultant. However, not long after the Kuomintang won the election, he went abroad to visit Japan. Now Sun Yat-sen happens to be in Japan. Before that, Song Jiao
When Jin convened a party meeting, he sent Keiichiro Matsuda to the scene to take notes.
"This matter is not trivial. Of course, I cannot say that what Matsuda Keiichiro said is false. After all, the positions of the various parties in the north are very different, and there are many people who oppose Mr. Song. However, I always feel that there must be something else about this matter.
Hidden secret, even if my uncle is unwilling to cooperate with Mr. Song, he will definitely not harm Mr. Song. What's more, since my uncle asked me to go south to invite Mr. Song, there is still room for negotiation." Yuan Su sighed and said slowly
.
"Zi Jing, what are you going to do?" Lin Bo thought deeply and then asked.
"Since I promised you before, I will keep this matter a secret. But I still hope that you, Renqing, will be more thoughtful in the future and think about everything from different directions. Don't just listen to the wind and rain." Yuan Su said.
"Of course I know this." Lin Bo nodded meaningfully and agreed.
"In short, this time I invite Mr. Song to go north. I have no way to intervene in how national affairs are discussed. I can only see what my uncle means. But I can guarantee that as long as I am in the north, I will do my best to take care of this matter.
At worst, we will ensure Mr. Song's safety." Yuan Su said solemnly.
"With your words, I feel relieved." Lin Boxhen said.
After that, Yuan Su had some other conversations with Lin Boshen. For example, he originally planned to invite Lin Boshen to go north and serve in the First Mixed Brigade, but he did not expect that there was already a gap between the two. Although some misunderstandings have been resolved now,
Lin Boxhen has already joined the Kuomintang, and judging from the current situation, he has no intention of serving in the north again.
Lin Bo deeply thanked Yuan Su for his kindness. Although he still had some concerns in his heart, he was still a friend who had been through the same troubles. Even if he could no longer be as close as before, the relationship of "friends" still remained.
exist.
At noon, Lin Boxen treated Yuan Su to a meal at home. The two drank a little wine and talked about the current situation.
After lunch, Yuan Su had to rush back to Shanghai. Before leaving, Lin Boxen repeatedly asked not to leak today's conversation, and to ensure Mr. Song's personal safety in Beijing. Yuan Su agreed to all of them, and also said that in the future
We must make more contacts and exchange news between the north and the south so that we can prepare countermeasures in advance.
Lin Boxen then remembered what Yuan Su said before. Although "one south and one north" are in different camps, as long as the goals are the same, they can still cooperate with each other. They can even resolve some conflicts between the north and the south.
------------------
【Miyazaki Toten (みやざきとうてん1871-1922) whose real name is Miyazaki Torazo, his place of birth is listed as Torazo, and his nickname is Tengkongan Baiyin. Around the 28th year of Meiji, his nickname was changed to Bailangan Toten, and he is known as this in the world. He has supported him throughout his life.
China's revolutionary cause is a rare "alien" among Japan's "mainland wanderers" and a Japanese friend of Sun Yat-sen. He has been unswervingly determined throughout his life, with a pure heart, and devoted his whole life to changing the old order in East Asia. Looking at what he has done, he is worthy of being a hero.
Those who lamented that since then, the style of chivalry in the Japanese island country has no longer been on the road. "Miyazaki Torazo, today's chivalrous people are also... let go of the long beard, it is true that there is a fault." (Sun Yat-sen's words)
Japanese society in the 19th century was undergoing tremendous changes: the capitalist economic form collided with the feudal form of rule. After the Meiji Restoration, in the constant social, political and economic turmoil, some people lost their interests and could not achieve legal economic means.
Under the circumstances, they began to find other strategies - the modern Japanese gangster society, which was based on low-level samurai, bankrupt farmers, and local gangsters, was born.
At first, there was the "Genyo Society" headed by Mitsuru Toyama, who was a samurai, and later there was the "Black Dragon Society" (named after Heilongjiang, China) headed by Uchida Ryohei. They were more systematic than the early gangster organizations in terms of organizational programs and other aspects.
Genyosha is especially famous for espionage activities and has a bad reputation in Japan. The Chinese and Russian governments have protested to the Japanese government about Genyosha's activities abroad and declared the people of Genyosha "undesirable" in the country.
The Japanese Black Dragon Society was established on February 3, 1901. Its purpose is: "Reviewing the overall situation of East Asia and the vocation of the empire, in order to implement the economy of prosperous East Asia and thwart the spread of Western power eastward, the current urgent task is to start a war with Russia, and then
East Asia repels it, connects Manchuria, Mongolia, and Siberia, and builds the foundation for managing the continent."]
