"What Xiao Zhai said is good, but in the final analysis, our current momentum is too weak. I didn't expect that even Yuan Shikai would boldly take the gamble and make enough achievements in Qingdao and Liaodong. Now he has attracted domestic support.
The momentum is very high. If Yuan Shikai is serious about serving the country and the people, after the Qingdao and Liaodong incidents, he can still be our hope for the revitalization of China. It is a pity that everything Yuan Shikai has done is not a cover-up to pave the way for restoration.
." Tang Jiyao said in a rather deep tone, as if he was worried about the country's future.
"Indeed. I really didn't expect that when I thought Yuan Shikai would change his mind and think about the country and the country wholeheartedly, he didn't expect that all this was just a show. Now that it is the Republic of China, he still wants to be the emperor. Yuan Shikai harbors evil intentions and is not punished.
And we can't revive the country." Chen Weigeng said sternly. On this matter, a staunch democrat like him was the most emotional, and because of this he hated Yuan Shikai deeply.
"To be honest, the second revolution has completely destroyed the Kuomintang's military power. Now if we want to overthrow the Beiyang government, the only ones we can count on are our southwest provinces. Now if we want the other three provinces to actively respond to the call, we must
Find ways to create more and greater momentum as soon as possible." Tang Jiyao said seriously.
"Your Excellency is right. It's just that this is not an easy task at the moment. Nowadays, people's minds are too easily influenced. At this time, domestic support for Yuan Shikai is at its peak. If we want to create momentum, we can only
It will be even more difficult." Chen Weigeng shook his head and sighed.
Tang Jiyao naturally knew this truth, but he still firmly believed in his heart that Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor would definitely be an opportunity to launch an attack, and he would never miss this opportunity. After a moment of silence, he read the telegram he had read before.
He picked it up from the desk, shook it and said: "This is a telegram sent from Guangzhou at seven o'clock in the morning. It is the news that Mr. Zichang came to contact us on behalf of the Chinese Revolutionary Party." b Time Travel Novel: b
Mr. Zichang is none other than Li Rigai, a great scholar from Yunnan Province. Although Li Rigai is a cultural figure and has never joined any political party, he has always been sympathetic to the revolutionaries. Nowadays, there is still some tension in the country against the Chinese Revolutionary Party. The revolution
Even if party members return to China, they all live in the concessions or Hong Kong.
Obviously the revolutionaries knew that Li Rigai was a well-known figure in Yunnan, so they asked him to send this message to Tang Jiyao to see if they could gain some military allies for the next revolutionary activities.
If it were more than ten days ago, Tang Jiyao would have ignored any request from people like the Chinese Revolutionary Party. In his view, after the dissolution of the Kuomintang, the Tongmenghui, the Kuomintang, the Chinese Revolutionary Party, etc., had all sunk in.
Furthermore, looking at the revolutionary movements in recent years, there is basically nothing to be commended. It is because the revolutionaries do not understand military affairs and are greedy for power, but they have also caused a lot of avoidable losses.
However, after the progress of the Lijiang meeting that he had placed his hope on was hindered, he had to reconsider looking for some famous people to stand up and build momentum. Figures like Sun Yat-sen were naturally the most suitable.
Chen Weigeng asked urgently: "We should have sent people to Japan to meet Sun Yat-sen and the others earlier. If we all discuss this matter together, it will definitely progress more smoothly than it does now."
Although Tang Jiyao's expression did not change, he was not very happy in his heart. He knew that Chen Weigeng supported Sun Yat-sen very much, but he was worried that there would be too many people supporting Sun Yat-sen, so that the situation would happen. Of course, he was still somewhat sure.
No matter how famous Sun Yat-sen is, he is nothing more than a polished commander.
Li Youxun and Gu Pinzhen on the side knew Tang Jiyao's thoughts well, and they still felt a little inappropriate for Chen Weige to speak without covering up.
Gu Pinzhen turned to Tang Jiyao and asked for instructions: "Sir, how do you plan to call back to Guangzhou?"
Tang Jiyao took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "Now that we lack momentum, we must spare no effort to unite more people. I am considering sending someone to Hong Kong in the near future to get in touch with the Chinese Revolutionary Party
.However...I did hear some news about the current situation of the Chinese Revolutionary Party a few days ago, and I am actually a little worried..."
Chen Weigeng asked: "What's the news? What's the worry?"
Tang Jiyao said in a calm voice: "It is rumored that there are differences within the Chinese Revolutionary Party regarding Yuan Shikai's conspiracy to proclaim himself emperor. Some people support Yuan's overthrow, while others oppose Yuan's overthrow. Alas, I thought that under the leadership of Mr. Sun, there would be a
The revolutionary situation, which was more united, more determined and more faith-filled, unexpectedly turned out to be disorganized."
Li Youxun nodded in a timely manner and said: "Yes, I have also heard about this matter. It came from the Jiangwu Hall. Many students from the Jiangwu Hall this time are still in contact with Mr. Sun.
They get information about the Chinese Revolutionary Party faster than we do."
Chen Weigeng sighed repeatedly, shook his head and said: "Is this happening? Can't they understand Yuan Shikai's ambition? It's really a blinding eye. They think that the Beiyang government has done some good things and are blindly affected by it. They really can't tell the difference.
Right and wrong.”
Tang Jiyao said far-sightedly: "This matter is indeed a pity, but no matter what, we still have to try to get in touch with Mr. Sun first. I believe that with Mr. Sun joining us, our momentum in the four southwestern provinces will definitely be further improved.
.The situation will definitely be much better than now."
Chen Weigeng said: "This is the only way."
Tang Jiyao hesitated for a moment, and then said to Chen Weigeng: "Mr. Ye Zhou, I'm afraid you'll have to go out on your behalf for this matter. I'll arrange for Captain Long to lead someone to accompany him all the way."
Chen Weigeng said decisively: "It is my duty to leave, so let's set off tomorrow. This matter cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise there will be long nights and many dreams. If Yuan Shikai has done so many scenes so far, I'm afraid he can't hold it any longer."
Tang Jiyao smiled encouragingly and said: "Mr. Ye Zhou has to work so hard. No matter what, he has to wait for us to reply to the message. The response work in Guangzhou has been arranged properly. I think it will take a week to handle this aspect."
At that time, Mr. Ye Zhou will rest for a week and then leave for Guangzhou next week."
Chen Weigeng guessed that Tang Jiyao must have other arrangements during this week, otherwise there would be no reason to delay the matter. However, he did not ask any more questions, just nodded and agreed. b Time Travel Novel: b
After Chen Weigeng resigned first, Tang Jiyao told Li Youxun: "The key now is whether we can stabilize the situation in Sichuan. Since we are going to start an uprising, Sichuan must be the key place. Xiong Kewu is still a little stubborn after all, no matter what
You have to stabilize him first. You will leave for Sichuan tomorrow, meet with Huang Yucheng, Zhao Youxin and the others first, and tell them to restrain themselves first, and then go to Chengdu to talk to Xiong Kewu."
Li Youxun thought for a while and said with some worry: "Sir, I'm afraid that Xiong Kewu is a dead-head. If our Yunnan Army doesn't explain something, it will definitely be difficult to negotiate with him."
Tang Jiyao gave a cold "hum" and said angrily: "What else can he bargain with? Once this matter is confirmed, when the incident occurs, is it possible that his Sichuan troops will not need the support of our Yunnan Army?
? Just follow what I say, and I will prepare a handwritten letter to take with you. If Xiong Kewu is really stubborn to the end, then don’t blame us for being unkind. "
Li Youxun nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Don't worry, sir. I will definitely convince Xiong Kewu because of my humble position."
