"Mr. Ju Zheng, don't look at me drunk. I'm soberer than anyone else. I feel bad. We all paid for it with our lives during the Republic of China! Do I still have the nerve to see Qin Bing, Rao Guoliang and Lin Juemin? You let me get drunk.
Damn it, I won’t know anything when I’m drunk, and I won’t be afraid of them questioning me!”
After Yu Peilun finished speaking, he poured another drink into his mouth. Ju Zheng felt a twinge of pain in his heart as he watched. Although he had not been in contact with Yu Peilun for a long time, he knew very well that this passionate revolutionary who lost an arm during the Guangzhou Uprising,
He truly dedicated all his passion and blood, which is worthy of respect. However, since leaving Sichuan, Yu Peilun's spirit has been low and he often drinks alcohol.
In the past few days, the assassination of Tao Chengzhang and the betrayal of Hanyang Iron Works have broken out one after another. Yu Peilun felt that all his beliefs suddenly collapsed. He actually followed such a leader. He could always recall what Qiao Yu said to him. The so-called
Revolutionary leaders may not be that great!
Now it seems that he is not only great, but also a bit despicable. He actually used assassination methods to deal with revolutionary heroes, sold out the Hanyang Iron Works for his own selfish interests, and regarded national affairs as a trivial matter. How could he be worthy of following him?
Ju Zheng sighed slightly: "Yun Ji, the provisional government is indeed too difficult. It has no funds at all. It can't do anything without money. Now there are so many troops gathered in Nanjing City. Without military pay, these Qiu Ba uncles can't do anything."
If you want to rebel, there is no other way!"
"Mr. Ju Zheng, you are wrong. It's not a matter of lack of money, but a love of power. Earlier, representatives from various provinces advocated that the position should be vacant in favor of Yuan Shikai. Some people insist on taking that position regardless of their own capabilities, and they also want to monopolize power. Now they can't hold up the situation.
Just betraying national interests is greed for power! Disregarding the people of the country, you are wronging China! You are wronging China!"
"Yunji, you are drunk, I will take you back!"
When Ju Zheng saw Yu Peilun making a lot of noise in the street, the impact was really bad. He hurriedly asked his men to help Yu Peilun get into a rickshaw and sent him back to the hotel. He was not in a calm mood. There was already a situation within the revolutionary party.
A split occurred. First, Song Jiaoren strongly advocated the cabinet-prime minister system, and then joined forces with Tao Chengzhang. Now he has become an important figure in the United Party. Firm revolutionaries like Yu Peilun also began to oppose Sun Wen, fearing that the future of the Tongmenghui would be affected.
It’s really slim!
After South China fell into a war of public opinion, one person had been watching with cold eyes, and that was Yuan Shikai, the leader of Beiyang. The south fell into division, and the Qing court completely fell into the control of Lao Yuan. Yuan Shikai was only one step away from finally reaching the top.
remote.
"Gongbao, now that the south is in chaos and Sun Wen's prestige has been ruined, he has agreed to give up the position of president. I think it is time for the Manchus to abdicate as soon as possible?" Yang Shiqi said with a smile.
To his confidant Yuan Shikai, he stopped pretending to be a loyal minister and a good general, and directly expressed his feelings, "Well, but those people from the Zongshe Party are jumping up and down, and they are also mixed up with a bunch of Japanese, it is really an eyesore!
"
"Don't worry Xiang Cheng, they will all be able to disperse soon!" Yang Du said with a look of ruthlessness and determination flashing from the corner of his eyebrows, and then he said: "But Gongbao, I think we should be more careful about the new Unity Party.
, after entering the Republic of China in the future, it is inevitable to implement the representative system and form a political party to control the political power. At this point, the South is already at the forefront, especially Tao Chengzhang, who is known as a fierce tiger and is extremely capable, as well as Zhang Jian, Cen Chunxuan and others.
Waving the flag and shouting, coupled with Li Yuanhong, Cheng Dequan, Qiao Yu and other local powerful and powerful facades, I'm afraid they will become a serious problem in the future!"
"Xizi, to be honest, I'm not afraid of them using force, but I'm afraid that they will use political parties to oust me!" After all, Lao Yuan is still an old-fashioned figure. Compared with the bureaucrats of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, he is definitely of the new school, but compared with those who are full of foreign ink.
There are still too many differences between Yang Du and he is really not used to the way of fighting for democratic politics...
"They can establish a political party, and so can we. I think with Xiangcheng's prestige, there is absolutely no need to worry about them!" Yang Du also understood Yuan Shikai's weaknesses and had no choice but to persuade him in this way.
The problem of the Hanyang Iron Works continued to ferment. Hubei Congressman Ma Bolie first gave a speech in the Senate, asking Sun Wen to explain the betrayal of the Hanyang Iron Works. Sun Wen only said that the Hanyang Iron Works was a private factory and had nothing to do with state affairs, and the loan was not in place, so
Without the need to go through the Senate, how could these few words convince the senators? A larger wave of opposition arose.
At this moment, shocking news came out of Sichuan. The boards of directors of Sichuan Investment Company and Fushun Salt Industry United Company jointly sent out a telegram, announcing to the country that the two companies were now Han Yeping's major shareholders, and controlled Han Yeping for more than 100 years.
60% of the shares, indicating that the mortgage loan with Hanyang Iron Works was not approved by the shareholders' meeting at all, and Hanyang Iron Works is a private enterprise, and the government did not fully use it for mortgage loans. This is a violation of citizens' private property.
Infringement, the two companies will never allow it.
Immediately afterwards, the Sichuan Provincial Assembly also asked the Nanjing Provisional Government why it had violated the private property of Sichuan's businesses without reason, and asked the Provisional Government to give an explanation. If it could not meet the Sichuan side's requirements, the Sichuan side would withdraw from the Senate and refuse to implement the Nanjing Provisional Government's decrees.
The people of Sichuan had just experienced the road protection movement. The Qing government betrayed the Sichuan-Hankou Railway, which eventually led to the road protection movement. Now that the provisional government has sold out the Hanyang Iron Works, is it going to undergo an armed uprising? Sichuan has issued a strong backlash, and Hubei is not neglecting it either.
The Bodhisattva had long been holding back his anger.
He couldn't fight Sun Dapao, and he couldn't hide from Yuan Datou. Now Lao Li had become a vice president in name only. It was strange that Li Yuanhong was satisfied. Just as the problem of Hanyang Iron Works broke out, he immediately ordered Ma Bolie and other Hubei congressmen to withdraw from the Senate and return to the Senate.
Wuchang reorganizes the Senate.
Tao Chengzhang then issued a stern statement on behalf of the United Party, strongly demanding that the provisional government respect the inviolable rights of people's property and stop its traitorous behavior. At the same time, he asked the provisional government to abandon secret diplomacy and return Japan's transactions to the public in broad daylight.
The right to know, Zhang Jian also angrily resigned from the post of Minister of Commerce of the interim government.
Qiao Yu has been paying close attention to the developments in Sichuan. Compared with the uproar in Chinese public opinion, the same is true for the great powers. For example, Germany and the United States strongly oppose Japan's wanton expansion of interests in China. The United Kingdom is also dissatisfied with Japan's involvement in the Yangtze River Basin.
Huge pressure falls on the shoulders of the Japanese government.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qiao Yu also issued a telegram on behalf of all walks of life in Sichuan. The message was eloquent and hit the heart of the Sun Huang Group: Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China has been poor and weak, the country has declined, there is an incompetent government internally, and foreign powers are looking around. , The survival of the country depends on it in an instant. The Hanyang Iron Works was originally founded by Zhang Zhidong, the former governor of Huguang. It is a project to strengthen the country and benefit the people. It is the first of my country's heavy industry and the foundation for our country to catch up with the world.
In the early days of the Republic of China, the revolutionary leaders were about to sell the largest factory in East Asia to the Japanese. To investigate the reasons, I found the following possible reasons. First, I did not know the importance of the Hanyang Iron Works; second, due to extreme financial difficulties, I had to take this drastic measure;
Third, the relationship with Japan is so close that it exceeds national interests, so Hanyang Iron Works can be sold.
If it's because of the first reason, the insight of a dignified revolutionary leader can't be compared with that of a common man. How can I lead China if I am short-sighted? If there are still one or two self-aware names, why don't I just abdicate and make way for others? If it's the second reason, then I don't know if Nanjing
What is the bottom line of your conduct? The revolutionary heroes spilled their blood on the battlefield to create the Republic of China. How can you be worthy of those heroes if you ruined China just after taking power?
I have heard that Dukes Sun and Huang have been in Japan for many years and have close ties with all walks of life in Japan. For example, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Ryohei Uchida, and others contributed to the establishment of the Tongmenghui. Now they are Sun Wen's advisors. The Manchu Qing court is called a foreigner.
According to this inference, can the Nanjing Provisional Government be called the Japanese court? Is the interim president the son-emperor of Japan? He wants to imitate Shi Jingtang’s allusion of offering the sixteen states of Yanyun and offering the Hanyang Iron Works with both hands.
Woolen cloth?
Moreover, when the Republic of China was still established, it was necessary to follow the example of the Western powers and govern the country according to law. The Hanyang Iron Works was the private property of businessmen, not owned by the state. How could the leader of a country sell it out? I have to start to doubt what Dr. Sun Wen has been studying these years.
What is it? Do you still have legal common sense, or are those slogans just for decoration, but you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want!
