"Ge Zhongwen, you are really a man. Since you are not even afraid of death, why are you afraid of distinguishing between public and private affairs? You claim that you do not regret participating in the revolution, and even say that you will continue to participate in the revolution in the future. Do you mean that your so-called revolution must be about public and private affairs?
No distinction, right?" He said sarcastically. www
"You, huh, people like you don't understand what revolution is at all! When did I say that I was afraid of distinguishing between public and private? You should speak privately in private and speak publically in public. I still understand this principle of doing things."
"If you say that, won't this matter be over? I don't care about your political stance, whether it's revolutionary or not, I just ask that you do business for the public and don't pretend to be public for personal gain. That's all!" Yuan Su suddenly revealed his face.
He smiled and said neatly to Ge Jinzhang.
After listening to Yuan Su's words, not only Ge Jinzhang was stunned, but also Guo Wenyuan looked confused. Yuan Su's explicit words before were clearly meant to make Ge Jinzhang look good, but why did he suddenly change the subject and seem to be fine?
As if.
"You, what do you mean?" After being stunned for a long time, Ge Jinzhang asked Yuan Su blankly.
"I know that you revolutionary officers are biased against me. I didn't want to explain anything, but from today on you will follow me to do things. I don't want you to do things with a grievance and resentment, so I have to say something.
.I have never opposed the revolution. The person who betrayed you during the last uprising was Zhang Jiangong. If I really wanted to harm you, I would have informed the town when you were planning." Yuan Su said in a serious tone.
.
Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang both fell silent. Of course they knew that what Yuan Su said was true. During the Luanzhou military remonstrance, Yuan Su personally led the team to stop the arms train. Later, when planning the uprising, he also led the team to collect revolutionary military expenses.
.It can be said that Yuan Sufei not only did not betray the revolution, but also actively responded to the revolution.
Thinking of this, Ge Jinzhang couldn't help but ask himself: Why do I hate Yuan Su? Just because he is Yuan Shikai's nephew?
"I know exactly what you are thinking, because my surname is Yuan, and everyone surnamed Yuan should die, right?" Yuan Su asked again with an expressionless face.
Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang looked at each other, obviously unable to answer this question.
"Have you never thought that my uncle is really just a lackey of the Qing government as you have heard? I advise you to read the newspapers of the past two days. My uncle has sent people to Shanghai to negotiate with the temporary government.
Negotiated. If he really wanted to suppress the revolution, Wuhan would have been captured by the Beiyang Army long ago, so why delay it until today?" Yuan Su's tone gradually became stern.
The armistice peace talks between the North and the South have been going on for more than half a month. The two sides did not make too much publicity before. It was not until the end of last month that foreign newspapers frequently reported the matter, which gradually attracted the attention of the outside world. As long as people with a little bit of cultural background
Everyone knows that no matter whether it is domestic factions or foreign forces, they do not want the war to continue, and peace negotiation is obviously the general trend.
Nowadays, people are paying attention to the conditions under which the North and the South will complete this peace negotiation. Before the final result is revealed, various rumors are flying.
In a small place like Luanzhou, the news it received was naturally close to the north. On January 2, forty-seven Beiyang officers headed by Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang had just signed a telegram, claiming to "defend the emperor to the death."
Constitution, and resolutely oppose the republic." However, within a few days, all the Qing envoys abroad, led by Lu Zhengxiang and Liang Shiyi, issued a statement advising the Qing emperor to abdicate.
Precisely because of such rumors floating around, many people could not guess what Yuan Shikai's plans were, including Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang.
However, Guo Wenyuan no longer cares about these things. As for Ge Jinzhang, although he has always questioned Yuan Shikai, after listening to Yuan Su's words, he suddenly noticed this link in Wuhan.
Even if he still distrusts Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang Army, Yuan Su is right. If Yuan Shikai was determined to suppress the revolution, Wuhan should have been captured long ago. And once Wuhan fell, it would have a serious blow to the national revolutionary trend. The revolution
The fire is very likely to be destroyed by this. Since Yuan Shikai did not take advantage of the victory to conquer Wuhan, no matter what the real purpose was, at least it showed his hesitation towards revolution.
"However, there are rumors outside that your uncle is deeply favored by Ron and is bent on defending the Qing court. How can he support the Republic?" Ge Jinzhang said hesitantly.
"Why do you pay attention to the rumors outside? We are soldiers, and we have our responsibilities, not to speculate on how the bureaucrats are playing games. I can tell you without exaggeration that the current Qing Dynasty will never recover.
Strength, min zhu, the general trend of the Republic, the revolution will continue without you. My request couldn't be simpler, as long as everyone can do their part, do you understand?" Yuan Su said it in one breath.
These remarks also showed his stance on the current domestic situation from another direction.
Guo Wenyuan nodded slowly, recognizing what Yuan Su said in his heart.
Ge Jinzhang also fell into silence again. He didn't understand what kind of person Yuan Su was until today. He was not a counterrevolutionary, but just wanted to fulfill his duties as a soldier. He could say that Yuan Su was not passionate, but he could not identify Yuan Su as a
Han Jian lackeys. After all, everyone has different values, and Yuan Su also contributed to the revolution before, but in the end he was assassinated by the revolutionaries. I believe that this kind of blow cannot be recovered in a day or two.
When he thought of this, he sighed deeply and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Yuan Su walked up to Ge Jinzhang, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then said frankly: "I actually don't care what you think of me. I just hope you don't bring revolutionary sentiments into the training office. Those
The common people are illiterate and have no idea what revolution is, what min zhu is, or what republic is. What they want is nothing more than a stable home and a bite to eat, that's all."
Ge Jinzhang actually had many reasons to refute it. It was precisely because the Chinese people were immature that they should actively spread revolutionary ideas. However, he felt that Yuan Su's words were not what they sounded like on the surface, but contained another kind of "
People's Rights and Interests" issue. Furthermore, even if he ignored these, he knew that what Yuan Su asked for was "the duty of a soldier", and he could not argue with these words at all.
"Master Yuan, I know that I am wrong in my humble position. Please rest assured, Master Yuan. I must be strict with myself in my humble position and must distinguish between public and private matters."
"Your words are enough. After today, everyone will put aside their past grievances and work hard to handle the affairs of the Supervisory Training Office. I believe that you are all capable people and will not let me down. As for your personal ambitions,
I will never interfere." Yuan Su said solemnly.
After leaving Yuan Su's office, the two of them walked towards the officer's dormitory.
Guo Wenyuan was still dissatisfied with Ge Jinzhang's excited attitude just now. After being silent for a while, he finally couldn't help but said: "I mean, Ge Zhongwen, why are you such a stubborn person? You can't keep calm even if Mr. Yuan just says a few words.
If all the revolutionaries in the world were like you, they would never be able to achieve anything in another five thousand years."
In normal times, Ge Jinzhang would definitely argue with Guo Wenyuan to the end, but now he has no temper at all. He is filled with complicated emotions and is speechless.
Guo Wenyuan sighed, and then said: "Thankfully you met Mr. Yuan today. If it were anyone else, I think you would still have to go back to the prison cell."
Ge Jinzhang and Guo Wenyuan both served as platoon commanders in the second battalion before, and the relationship between the two has always been good. He knew that Guo Wenyuan was worried about him, but his mind was not on this aspect at the moment, so he never answered. However, the little boy who was about to arrive at the officer's dormitory
When he was in the yard, he suddenly stopped and asked Guo Wenyuan seriously: "Tell me, Mr. Yuan knew that we had a grudge against him, why did he agree to transfer us to the Supervisory Training Office in the first place?"
Guo Wenyuan said calmly: "As the saying goes, 'Don't doubt the people you employ, don't use them if you doubt them.' In fact, Mr. Yuan did not doubt us at all. He just hoped that we would do things in a good manner. Mr. Yuan himself said just now that he did not doubt us at all.
I have never opposed the revolution. If Adjutant Sun and the others had not insisted on getting rid of Mr. Yuan, nine out of ten Mr. Yuan would have acted with us during the last uprising."
Ge Jinzhang nodded slowly, and the chaotic emotions in his heart gradually eased.
At this time, Guo Wenyuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Besides, only you and He Kezhi have a grudge against Master Yuan. I have never thought of it that way."
Hearing this, Ge Jinzhang immediately frowned and asked: "Bo Ji, what do you mean? Could it be that you have never stood with us?"
Guo Wenyuan said angrily: "I am most dissatisfied with your idea of being either positive or negative. Our revolution is to revolutionize the Qing Dynasty. What is the use of revolutionizing Lord Yuan's life? I have never stood with you.
When Zhang Tongzhi launched his military remonstrance, I was full of hope for the future of the revolution. At that time, we had a large number of people, and as long as we made up our minds to march into Beijing, the great cause of the revolution could be achieved at a glance."
Ge Jinzhang had also been upset for a while about how the Luanzhou soldiers' remonstrance ended in an anticlimax. Now that he heard Guo Wenyuan mention it again, he had a vague awareness in his heart, and even guessed what the other party would say next.
Guo Wenyuan took a breath and shook his head slowly, with a look of melancholy on his face. He said: "When the military remonstrance failed, I had already thought clearly. Since the soldiers and horses can't achieve anything when they are strong, what do I want now?"
It’s nothing, do you still expect us defeated soldiers to overthrow the Qing government?”
Ge Jinzhang understood it deeply, but he still said: "Bo Ji, you are too pessimistic."
Guo Wenyuan refuted loudly: "I am not pessimistic, but this is the fact. You said, even if we risk our lives now, can we shake the Qing government even a little bit? No, not at all. What Mr. Yuan said just now makes me very sad.
I have realized that the current domestic situation has no place for you and me to play any role. Whether it is a republic or a monarchy is a matter for bureaucrats and politicians at the negotiation table. No matter how much we argue, it will not have any impact."
Ge Jinzhang pondered for a while, and Guo Wenyuan's words really touched his nerves: Yes, Luanzhou's military remonstrance was originally the best opportunity, but now it has been missed, and no matter how hard we try now, it will be of no use.
After letting out a heavy breath, he asked Guo Wenyuan in a depressed mood: "Then what are your plans now?"
Guo Wenyuan said solemnly: "I don't have any other plans at the moment. I just want to do some responsibilities in a down-to-earth manner. A real man must have the ambition to make contributions. In fact, we should not underestimate Mr. Yuan. He can do so in such a short period of time."
There must be some conspiracy to win over the wealthy gentry of Luanzhou to run civil defense."
Although Ge Jinzhang has an impetuous temperament, he still has a good vision. Yuan Su is so enthusiastic about running civil defense, and anyone with a little bit of savvy can see that there is something hidden in it.
At this moment, he had no intention of speculating on Yuan Su's true intentions, and just said in a deep voice: "You are right, just wait and see."
