Chapter 42 December II

The whole scene in Petersburg was recorded by the Intelligence Bureau and sent back to Beijing, and such a wonderful road to power made the members of the Standing Committee who knew the whole process stunned, especially Cai Yuanpei, who was deeply glad that the Russian Revolution was a democratic revolution at first, but when he learned that the Bolsheviks had failed to obtain a majority in the elections to arrest other party members and close the Constituent Assembly under an excuse that was not an excuse, his face suddenly turned blue and ugly.

Yang Rui looked at him and felt funny, and in his heart began to dislike him deeply, no matter from which point of view - in terms of human nature, it was precisely because there were so many democrats who were clearly noble but in fact scourged that the Russian Revolution came to this end; In terms of state, only the Bolsheviks could industrialize Russia quickly in Tsarist Russia, the big Manchu Dynasty, and resist the German attack in World War II, but these democrats, who were clearly noble but in fact evil, could not accept the bloodiness of this price, so their best place was to line up in a neat queue and bathe in the fascist gas baths.

"......, the peace decree and the land decree and the slogan 'let the workers own the factories' allowed the Bolsheviks to gain the active support of soldiers, peasants and workers, and the regime was becoming more and more stable. In addition, yesterday, Kamiev and Mr. Pejen had a brief conversation, and Gamiev hoped that our country would provide assistance to Russia, and in addition to asking for weapons, the most scarce material was food, which they hoped would be delivered to Petersburg by the Central Asian railway. "Tse Tse gave an account of the situation after the Russian Revolution and put forward the demands of the Bolsheviks.

"No! No support can be provided to such an unjust regime. After Xie Jintai finished speaking, Cai Yuanpei suddenly replied. They closed the Constituent Assembly. The violence dispersed the delegates, which was completely against the will of the people. This is an illegitimate regime. ”

Cai Yuanpei's answer did not arouse Yang Rui's effect, and his gaze skipped over him. Asked Xie Zhangtai, "How did Brother Pei Ren answer?" ”

"Pei Ren asked the other party to honor the previous agreement, but," Xie Jintai looked at Yang Rui with a heavy expression, "This was rejected by Kamenev on the grounds that there are many affairs now and the second Constituent Assembly is going to be convened. ”

Cai Yuanpei sensed Yang Rui's ignorance, but still asked curiously: "Are they really going to hold a second Constituent Assembly?" ”

"No, there is no Constituent Assembly anymore." "There were mass protest marches in Petersburg and Moscow in response to the closure of the Constituent Assembly by the Bolsheviks. But they were all suppressed by force by the Bolsheviks, and many people died. Now in some cities, such as St. Petersburg, the Constituent Assembly has become synonymous with 'counter-revolution', and anyone who supports it can be shot. ”

"This is a tyrant! This is dictatorship! Cai Yuanpei jumped up excitedly as if his tail had been stepped on by someone. We must not give this authoritarian regime a grain of rice or a pound of flour. ”

Si Swenwen's Cai Yuanpei seemed to be the wrong medicine, which made everyone at the meeting inexplicable. Xu Huafeng, the eldest, asked: "Xiaomin, what are you excited about, who said that you were going to give them rice flour?" ”

There is a reason why Cai Yuanpei is so excited. Since Chen Youji entered Peking University, there has been an increase in vernacular articles and articles advocating American-style democracy in the school magazine, and this month there was an article that criticized that 'only taxpayers have the right to vote and be elected' is not in line with the essence of democracy, and advocated that China should implement universal suffrage like the United States. to be at the forefront of democracy. This kind of argument was originally disliked by the Information Department of the Ministry of Rites, and since the school printing office did not block sensitive words, the school magazine was closed yesterday.

Peking University President Yan replied but appealed. I told the school that I firmly believe in freedom of speech. And what 'you can disagree with my point of view, but I have the right to defend you or something' Cai Yuanpei immediately became angry. Ran to the Ministry of Rites angrily, didn't want the Ministry of Rites to do things and was witty, didn't say anything about sensitive words at all, only said that there were illegal false advertisements in the school magazine, this clever excuse suddenly made Cai Yuanpei's face thunderous but there was no way, and he had a big quarrel with Zhang Taiyan on the spot. Although the matter passed overnight, his anger did not subside.

"The Russian Revolution has been brewing for ten months from February to the present, but unexpectedly it was a tyrant who came to power, which makes me extremely indignant. In my opinion, if the revolutionaries do not have good supervision, they will eventually turn into tyrants! Cai Yuanpei said, his words were meaningful.

"The Russian Revolution had been brewing for nearly a hundred years, starting with the Decembrists, and the Bolsheviks would not have been able to gain power had it not been for an alliance with France, and if it had not been for the fact that the Bolsheviks had not been so rampant in their pro-democracy and freedom-leaning mouths." Yang Rui replied,-for-tat.

"Don't talk about history, even if Russia does not have the conditions for democracy at present, autocracy will make him lose the possibility of freedom forever." Cai Yuanpei said, looking arrogant.

"What are the ingredients and what to cook, I can't live now, and I'm still looking at the future?" Yang Rui was disdainful, "The affairs of the country are because of those who think they are noble and think they are good for the people. ”

"You! You're saying I'm just going to talk about it? Cai Yuanpei saw that Yang Rui actually looked at himself at the end of his words, and immediately made the meaning clear. No matter how much I talk about it, I can't compare to someone dictatorship blocking the Peking University school magazine on trumped-up charges, which violates the Constitution! ”

"Any country ......" Yang Rui wanted to continue, but Qiu Jin suddenly screamed, "Enough!" ”

The woman's voice is sharper than that of the man, and she is full of energy, the entire conference room is an echo of this sentence, and the eardrums of everyone present are also vibrating, even Yang Rui also plucked out his ears.

"What the hell are you, didn't you say that we should unite!" Qiu Jin looked at Yang Rui and then at Cai Yuanpei, and couldn't believe that these two former comrades-in-arms would become these-for-tat and attack each other.

"Some people do too much, so they naturally need to be reminded." Those small actions of Peking University can still be tolerated, but this time seeing Cai Yuanpei rejoicing in the February Revolution in Russia, Yang Rui has an irrepressible anger in his heart, and now that the situation in Petersburg is so reversed, he actually pointed his finger at himself and scolded Huai, no matter how good his self-cultivation is, he can't bear it.

In the final analysis, although the Revival Association is now taking the path of centralization, Yang Rui still has the shadow of petty bourgeoisie in his bones. Years of experience have taught him how the ignorant right naively puts power in the hands of the brutal left. It was these people who shouted democratic slogans all the time and assisted the left in overthrowing the existing government. But the result? - "Democracy is a matter of more and less for Mr. Chiang; In Mr. Mao's case, there is a question of yes and no. After saying this. Hu got on the plane and flew to the United States.

In the past, the afterimage made Yang Rui hate the mouth cannon from the bottom of his bones, but now he is full of centralized ideas and bothering to govern the country, and he also wants to trample this kind of moth that can only put mouth cannons to death! The best outcome for these mouth-cannon parties who have great fame, revolutionary will, and will only do them a disservice, but who think they are the masters of all ages, have noble morals, and lead the trend, the best outcome is to plant lotus roots in the Mariana Trench, so that future generations can only wait until thousands of years later to dig up the bones if they want to be rehabilitated and pay tribute.

After Yang Rui accused Cai Yuanpei, Cai Yuanpei seemed to refute, but he was stopped by the temporary supporter of the meeting, "Don't argue." Listen to what you say first, and then listen to you. Qiu Jin decisively said.

Cai Yuanpei smiled bitterly and sat down, after the founding of the country, he had a lot of things he wanted to say directly, and now he actually wanted to say it, and it was not bad for a while, so he put his ass on the chair and hugged his hands to see what Yang Rui said.

After Qiu Jin finished speaking, Yang Rui smiled, and he said: "No matter from what angle, we. . . Right now. Neither. When pursuing such bullshit as democracy and freedom! This is a point that I have repeatedly emphasized before. But some people don't listen to it, and try to use the university as a base to ridicule Nanyang College again, which I firmly oppose! ”

As soon as Yang Rui opened his mouth, he hit Cai Yuanpei's vital point. He couldn't care about Qiu Jin's obstruction just now, and immediately stood up and said, "What evidence do you have that I want to make a joke?!" Just your sneaky spies!! Cai Yuanpei shouted loudly, and then said to the slightly angry Qiu Jin, the silent Xu Huafeng, the wooden Du Yaquan, the stunned Xu Guantian and Xie Jintai: "Gentlemen." Do we not forget what the purpose of our revolution is, for ourselves? We are revolutionizing for the sake of a free and democratic country for 40,000 people!

But what have we done so far? News control, ah! Communication control、Ah! Financial controls. Yes! Spy control, ah! Sensitive word control. Yes! Even the fucking vernacular says it's inflammatory, and it's not allowed to say it, only in Chinese. I'm here to ask: can anyone tell me whether we are a fucking republic or an empire, democracy or autocracy? Can any of you tell me!! ”

was accused by Yang Rui of making trouble, Cai Yuanpei was furious in his heart, and knocked on the table every time he said 'ah', which seemed to follow a certain rhythm. Seeing that he had made such a fuss, Xu Huafeng, who was old, couldn't help but get up and wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Yang Rui's sentence of 'let him finish'.

Cai Yuanpei said on the phone, and then said, "When Huang Keqiang left Tokyo before his death, he said: 'A free and democratic country is not built by a group of slaves!'" He said this to warn Sun Wen not to form the Chinese Revolutionary Party like the gangs in the rivers and lakes, but what about our Revival Association, can anyone explain to me what democratic centralism is? Is this democracy or centralism? Or do you want to be democratic, and if you want to centralize, you can centralize?

I think the difference between us and Sun Wen's Chinese Revolutionary Party is that we don't need members to swear allegiance by their fingerprints. I dare not say now, but it is difficult to predict what will happen later; I don't dare to say what will happen to our generation, but I can only resign myself to fate. ”

If the revival society had chosen the dictatorship of a certain party at the beginning, then democratic centralism would have had the effect of deceiving the outside world, but now that the country is implementing a multi-party system, then this democratic centralism is not nondescript, and who is this kind of system that can only be used in the association?

Originally, Yang Rui was still aggressive, but when he heard Cai Yuanpei point to democratic centralism, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and glanced at Xu Guantian in his mind. When Xu Guantian saw Yang Rui looking over, and then heard Cai Yuanpei criticizing democratic centralism, he immediately understood, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Cai Yuanpei, he said: "Don't persuade everyone today, I just want to have a good quarrel with Jingcheng, he can convince me, I kowtow and admit my mistakes, if I convince you, then ask him to put away his set of control!"
