Chapter 21: The Storm Strikes

Mr. Sun Wen, who was in Beijing, had no idea that a crisis was looming over him.

Yuan Shikai's contempt for Sun Wen was justified enough, not only from a military point of view, the revolutionary army was not the opponent of the Beiyang Army, but from a system point of view, Sun Wen's establishment of the southern government was very fragile compared with the Beiyang government and Yang Xiaolin's northeast regime, delicate like a newborn.

It's not that Sun Wen's ability is not good, the gunfire of the Wuchang Uprising was too sudden, and suddenly Sun Wen himself was not prepared!

He had been planning a blueprint for his ideals before, but when the revolution suddenly succeeded, he hurried back to China, and there was no time to prepare. The Beiyang Army had already launched an attack in Wuchang, and upon returning to China, Sun Wen was faced with the problem of establishing a system that would allow the revolutionary Liliang in the south to be quickly integrated to counter Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army.

At this time, Sun Wen didn't have time to do things well, and he didn't even have time to investigate the situation in various parts of China after the revolution, so he subconsciously drew the picture in his mind. He established a democratic and revolutionary provisional government according to his own blueprint.

It can be said that the Beiyang government and the Northeast regime were built brick by brick by Yuan Shikai and Yang Xiaolin, while the provisional government was a high-rise building that suddenly rose from the ground. In fact, there are great contradictions within the southern government, and one of the most prominent problems is that those revolutionaries who have returned from overseas and the local revolutionaries have not been integrated at all, and the water is cement or mud!

Just as Sun Wen looked at Li Yuanhong unpleasantly, this returnee also thought that people like Li Yuanhong were opportunists and not pure revolutionaries. They just did a very good thing at the right time. Compared with their contribution to the Chinese revolution, they did not pay as much as people like themselves.

The local liliang is also dissatisfied with the so-called elites who have returned from overseas! Why? Why can you come back overseas and enjoy your success after we defeat the country? Why do we sacrifice and shed blood, and you reap the fruits?

The reason why this contradiction did not break out was because the Beiyang Army was pressing the border, and everyone had to unite.

Now suddenly there were peace talks, the war stopped, the threat was temporarily removed, and the dispute broke out all at once. Of course, Yuan Shikai is very clear about this. Yang Xiaolin can also see it, and even Sun Wen himself knows it.

Lao Yuan immediately threw out tempting incense bait to the original Manchu Qing officials who responded to the Wuchang Uprising, and many of them began to look at the Beiyang Army, and Chen Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, and Yuan Shikai walked the closest.

A lot of people in other places are also ready to move. In this case, Sun Wen, those revolutionaries who returned from overseas, always thought that this was a person like Chen Dequan and Li Yuanhong, whose revolutionary stance was not firm, and they did not think about their own problems at all!

Sun Wen knew very well in his heart how much chance he had of winning if he really fought, and he really hoped that everything could be resolved at the negotiating table.

But when the fearless General Wu Zhaolin drove to Shanghai with this fearless revolutionary uprising, it was tantamount to sending a clear signal to these people who wanted to do something, and he would ignite the powder keg buried beside Sun Wen.

The negotiations went very hard.

Yang Xiaolin didn't have the heart to negotiate at all, but what others were thinking about when they sat here was not the questions raised by Sun Wen. Yuan Shikai also has no sincerity at all, and he cannot accept the democratic election that Mr. Sun Wen said at all. Hundreds of thousands of Beiyang Army soldiers have been armed and are being trained.

He is waiting to train the troops with the revolutionary party, what are you talking about?

If it weren't for the fact that Sa Daoyi felt that he hadn't played Yang Ghost in place, and tried his best to prevent Yuan Shikai from making radical moves, he would have wanted to start the war again at any time.

Only Sun Wen is working hard, as he himself said, as long as Yuan Shikai can agree to China's democracy, Sun Wen will give in! Start by sitting at the negotiating table. His steps are to give in again and again, from the beginning of the abandonment of the federation to the current temporary constitution has been changed beyond recognition, but he still did not exchange for a little sincerity from Yuan Shikai, nor did he let Yang Xiaolin express a clear attitude.

That's it. What Mr. Sun Wen couldn't accept the most was that he was the only one working on this negotiation, but when he returned to the hotel after the negotiation, there were always people who came to the door of the hotel to petition. He was asked to immediately dismiss the government of the South. People who don't know the truth still think how evil his Sun Wen's southern government is.

Those who petitioned came day and night, and when they came, they had to shout a few voices. Don't talk about Sun Wen. Even Yang Xiaolin couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yuan Gong, can you maintain order in the place where we live? Don't let those people shout every day, okay? Forget about this during the day, how many voices will come at night, so that people can't sleep? ”

This may be the longest sentence Yang Xiaolin has said at the negotiating table.

After hearing this, Lao Yuan's face was quite helpless: "Alas! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I wanted the troops to get rid of those people, but I couldn't help it! Isn't it democracy now? We can't stop the people from talking, can we? ”

Chen Qimei, who was sitting below Sun Wen, was obviously also deeply affected, and stood up at this time: "Someone petitioned at twelve o'clock in the evening? Yuan Gong, don't you think this cold day is a bit abnormal? You don't need to send troops to disperse them, you can just remove the stall that gave them food and drink! ”

Lao Yuan's eyes swept over, and found that the people who lived in the hotel on both sides had very opinions about him, and his arrangement might have gone a little too far, he really didn't know that there were still people shouting at twelve o'clock in the evening!

Immediately put on a straight face: "This matter must be taken seriously, Zhenchun, immediately go to the next death order, after nine o'clock in the evening, no more petitioning teams are allowed around the hotel, and you can't disturb Commander Yang and Mr. Sun Wen to rest!" ”

Lei Zhenchun, who was standing at the door of the conference room, immediately responded: "Yes!" ”

Yuan Shikai turned his head with a smile: "Okay, today we will continue yesterday's topic." Regarding the establishment of a preparatory office mentioned by Mr. Sun Wen, we Beiyang side went back to discuss it, and we think it is feasible, but some details still need to be discussed, Commander Yang, I don't know what the view of the Northeast side is? ”

Yang Xiaolin's eyelids drooped downward, and he immediately put on the appearance of an old monk who was settled, looking at his nose. The nose looks at the heart, and the heart looks at what only he knows. Yang Du on the side stood up: "We have the same opinion as Yuan Gong, why don't we discuss the details today?" ”

Yuan Shikai didn't pay attention to Yang Xiaolin anymore: "Then how about asking Mr. Sun Wen to explain it again?" ”

Sun Wen took a deep breath. From the beginning of the negotiation to the present, Yuan Shikai has to discuss the details of each plan, and this discussion is endless! And then it's about changing your plan beyond recognition!

Yesterday he proposed the establishment of a special preparatory office for reunification, composed of personnel from the three parties, responsible for inspecting the people's feelings of the three parties and determining the specific steps for reunification. It's about to enter the new year, and we have to make some appearance to show the people that we are talking. What's there to discuss here?

However, Sun Wen still stood up, the document had been given to them, and if he had to say it again, he would say: "Okay, I'll elaborate again, I hope the two of you can take this plan seriously." I just want to remind you both that reaching a consensus is the only way to avoid war! ”

Sun Wen began to speak, but Lao Yuan didn't listen to what he said at all. The eyes squinted and glanced at Yang Xiaolin, and found that Yang Xiaolin did not react at all, his brows were furrowed tightly, obviously thinking about something.

Yuan Shikai didn't know what Yang Xiaolin was thinking, but he was very curious about how this guy could sit in Beijing? The purpose of the British is becoming more and more obvious. The newspapers are smearing Yang Xiaolin every day, and now the public opinion of the people is very unfavorable to him, even if he has no means to fight back, at least he should be in a hurry to prepare for battle.

Could it be that he was waiting to see how black Sa Daoyi could smear that black cauldron on him? That's definitely not what this guy is for. He also said it a few days ago in the hall of Beijing Normal University. The lion he wants to be, even if the opponent is strong, he will go up and bite it.

Lao Yuan admires this spirit very much, and he just admires it.

The opponent is much stronger than you. Obviously, if you can't beat people, why do you have to end up being torn apart by others? Sometimes following behind the strong is the best way to survive.

This is Lao Yuan's concept.

Dalian.

Naokami Matsubara stands straight in front of Hisachi Oshima. Although the military ranks of the two people are the same now, as his old superior, he has a lot of respect for Oshima Hisuno.

Hisashi Oshima also has a lot of feelings for Naogami Matsubara, and it can be said that Naogami Matsubara can sit in his current position has a lot to do with him, and he also wants to see Naogami Matsubara fly higher and faster. However, now that his original most proud subordinate seems to be unable to fly, Oshima Hisunao's mission is to stop him from flying, which is a bit contradictory for Oshima.

"Matsubara-kun, I remind you again, the attitude of the War Department has been very clear, this time we must fight for the war, as the person in charge of the Imperial Japanese Army in China, we hope that you can change your attitude and cooperate with the actions of the War Department."

Hisunao Oshima is still working Zuihou, and if Naokami Matsubara is willing to bow his head now, he can go back to negotiate with the War Department and keep Naogami Matsubara's position.

His eyes looked at Naokami Matsubara's face, and he found that his smug subordinates had very resolute faces, and there was no intention of compromise.

Naogami Matsubara Ichimasa: "Your Excellency Oshima, I still insist on my concept, the Japanese army must not choose to land in Dalian, this may be a disaster for us." ”

Oshima Hisunao was very angry, he stood up at once, kicked away the chair and walked in front of Naokami Matsubara: "Yaga! ”

"Hayi!"

The two of them are already at the same level, but Naokami Matsubara is still obedient like a subordinate. When Hisunao Oshima was angry, he was just like when he was a soldier in the Oshima Division.

This attitude made Oshima Hisano's expression suddenly soften, and he took a deep breath: "Matsubara, the Jihua that landed in Dalian was formulated by the senior staff of the War Department based on various intelligence feedback. I can tell you with certainty that there is only one division of the Volunteers in front of you! They all ran to Heilongjiang, their eyes were on the Russians, are you really like some people say, you have no courage to be beaten by them? ”

Straight up to Matsubara's arms drooped down: "Your Excellency Oshima, these are all smoke released by the volunteers, I dare to assure you that if our army lands in Dalian, the enemy we face is likely to be their entire main force!" ”

"Do you have more accurate information?"

"Nope!"

"Then why do you make such a judgment?!"

"By what I know about these people!" (To be continued......)
