"Mr. Yuan, as the saying goes, people make plans and God makes things happen. Most of the time, everyone can't help themselves, so there is no need to worry too much. Alas, to be honest, I have been here for the past six months and I have gained a lot.
Plenty of time to think about some issues. Before that, I always thought that politics was just a means, and we should use this means to implement our personal ideal policies. However... alas..." At this point, Song Jiao
Ren sighed meaningfully and looked vaguely at the garden wall not far away.
Yuan Su waited for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Mr. Song, have you realized some other truths? Please tell me clearly, Mr. Song."
"Haha, my epiphany is still one person's opinion after all. But I am willing to tell you, but I don't want you to lose your own opinion because of this. In fact, we are all wrong. It is not that politics is a means, but that all means are.
In serving politics, only politics can be used as a means, not politics itself as a means." Song Jiaoren said slowly.
Yuan Su pondered for a long time, but couldn't turn his mind around. He was not that sensitive to some political philosophy or life insights, and like what Song Jiaoren said just now, it was obvious that "it can only be understood"
"Words" are more important than words. Once described in words, it will appear very contradictory and difficult to understand.
"Mr. Yuan, you don't need to get too hung up on what I just said. In the political arena, even I am just a beginner. If we want to truly understand the meaning of politics, we all need to work harder.
"Seeing Yuan Su's depressed and confused look, Song Jiaoren smiled slightly and then said with relief.
"Mr. Song is making me laugh. I, a martial artist, really don't understand these profound truths. Alas, but no matter what, I always believe that if my uncle can work together with Mr. Song, I will be able to quickly establish power and unify, and then promote peace between the north and the south.
Unification. The great cause of the revitalization of China is just around the corner. However, such a depressing thing happened, which really makes the relatives and enemies happy. When will China be rejuvenated and when will it be able to be on par with the great powers? " Yuan
Su said passionately.
"Actually, the President cannot be entirely blamed for this incident. To be honest, during the time we were in the Presidential Palace, I had a great conversation with the President, and we even agreed on many political reforms and advancements.
Before leaving for the north, I also deeply realized that given the current situation in China, it is irrational to blindly promote min zhu politics. Many times min zhu becomes an excuse for being used. But I rarely understand what min zhu is."
Song Jiaoren said deeply.
"I've heard this before. Lin Renqing told me about the letter you wrote to Shanghai before." Yuan Su nodded and agreed.
"When I was in Shanghai earlier, I told you that the construction of minzhu requires a process, and many links in the middle are impossible to jump directly. The president agrees with this, and my idea is to build zhong first
yang popularized the idea of party politics, united political parties around the president, and provided sufficient constitutional support for the president. After China is truly unified, the system of responsible cabinet system will be implemented based on party politics, and then from above
Then we started to promote the legal system and the construction of civil society." Song Jiaoren briefly stated his thoughts.
"This is very good. This is how it should be now." Yuan Su said in agreement.
"It's a pity that not everyone thinks this is a good thing, and not everyone can understand that this is a stage that the nation must go through. Alas!" Song Jiaoren finished speaking meaningfully and sighed heavily.
tone.
"Mr. Song, what are your plans next?" After a pause, Yuan Su turned to ask.
"What else can I do now? To be honest, I have been here for so long and I have lost touch with many things in the outside world. I really feel helpless and tired. However, even if I were asked to go out now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to
I don’t know if I can return to the previous state. Because I know that I am not a qualified politician, and I cannot do the things that a qualified politician does." Song Jiaoren breathed out slowly and said without any emotion in his tone.
Yuan Su fell into silence for a while. He could tell that Song Jiaoren seemed to intend to stay out of the matter forever. This was quite different from the Song Jiaoren he knew. Since he was an unswerving revolutionary, he had previously fought for
After overthrowing the Manchu Qing government and suffering so many failures, they chose to give up after this failure. It was really unexpected.
However, he can also understand Song Jiaoren's mood. It cannot be said that he has experienced many failures so he is not afraid of failure. As the saying goes, "the straw that broke the camel's back", previous failures did not have no impact. This kind of
The impact is accumulated bit by bit, and eventually it will completely collapse when it reaches a critical point.
He also agreed with Song Jiaoren's claim that he was an "unqualified politician." It can be said that Song Jiaoren is the same as Sun Yat-sen. Neither of them is a politician. To some extent, Song Jiaoren's ideas are not in line with China's
In the political environment and social needs at that time, min zhu and republic were originally two opposing concepts, either min zhu or republic. As for the concept of party politics, it is indeed feasible, but it does not mean that it can promote Chinese politics at that time.
. fu fell into a strange circle of four dissimilarities. On the other hand, the bourgeois revolution that had been building up for a long time suddenly fell into a dilemma. It was because of this that it eventually led to the split between the Sun and Huang Song factions within the Kuomintang.
In the final analysis, when exploring the path of China's political reform, these sages either did not understand it thoroughly enough, ignored China's contemporary environment, or simply had the mentality of fishing in troubled waters.
"Well, I am lamenting to myself that after the Republic of China came, it was not easy to have the opportunity to complete the great cause of China's rejuvenation. It was not easy to get rid of the many contradictions within the nation, but there are always those stubborn people who cannot be open-minded. In fact, there are always those stubborn people who cannot be open-minded.
To be honest, I have always believed that the most important thing at the moment is to command, plan and promote the development of the country. However, I have been looking forward to it for so long, but it is still difficult to see the real chapter. Looking around the world, there are many provinces that support their troops and respect themselves. In the south,
The forces still refuse to give up. How long will the internal fighting last before we can let go of our prejudices?" After taking a deep breath, Yuan Su said with emotion.
"Master Yuan, I am very pleased that you have such thoughts for the overall interests of the country. I am disappointed that if China could have more young heroes like Master Yuan, it would not be in such hardship as it is today."
Song Jiaoren said.
"I am a martial artist and don't understand any big principles. I am just worried about the future of the country, so I express such emotion. I don't have anything good to say, I just want to complete the unification of the country as soon as possible and the establishment of a unified command from top to bottom.
I thought that Mr. Song's trip north would be an excellent opportunity, but I didn't expect that I missed it. How could I not make people anxious? As the saying goes, opportunities must never be lost again. If you miss this great opportunity, when will you get another chance?"
Yuan Su's tone gradually became more intense, and he deliberately showed his impulsiveness.
"There will be, there will definitely be. I still firmly believe this. This is the inevitable process of human historical development, and it is also a decision that a country must face when it rises or falls." Song Jiaoren said in a tone of relying on his elders.
"Even so, why do we have to wait for the next opportunity when we can obviously achieve it faster? The time wasted will put China further away from the great powers. I am not acting on my own initiative. In order to promote the centralization of power, I would rather use any means. As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Some things must be determined and done hard, so that we can completely avoid future troubles and lay the foundation for China to last forever." Yuan Su said through gritted teeth, with an expression on his face when he spoke. It's like going into battle to kill the enemy.
The die-hard forces in bfu, such as assassinations or mutinies. He had experienced these methods in his early years. From the Huaxing Society to the Tongmenghui, there were numerous assassinations organized by revolutionary patriots and incitement of mutinies.
At the same time, he only thought that Yuan Su was impulsive before he said such a thing, so he didn't know how to persuade him. What's more, given his current situation, how could he persuade him?
For Yuan Su, his real purpose is to make Song Jiaoren remember that "the ends justify the means". When Yuan Shikai implements the imperial system, he will decisively support Yuan Shikai on the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Then he will have reasons to do something to Song Jiaoren.
He gave an explanation to win Song Jiaoren's understanding.
Afterwards, the two chatted about other situations. Yuan Su informed Song Jiaoren of the latest current affairs news at home and abroad, including the increasingly tense situation in Europe, which also hinted that the pro-alliance and pro-entente forces within China's political system were developing together.
Bit by bit, Song Jiaoren’s attitude towards this is that China should not interfere with the division of interests of European imperialism. On the one hand, China is unable to interfere, and on the other hand, even if it does, it will not gain any benefits. Instead, it should
While Western countries are focusing their attention on Europe, they should complete national reunification as soon as possible and vigorously develop.
Yuan Su agreed and said he would try his best to convince his uncle.
After two o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Su stopped harassing Song Jiaoren, made some more exciting remarks, and then stood up and left. Song Jiaoren still thinks that Yuan Su is a very new Beiyang officer, even if
The other party does not agree with some of the ideas of the southern revolutionary forces, but at least he is an upright person who can consider the country and the nation.dd
