New Warlords 1909

Song Jiaoren sat up abruptly from the bed, looked at the young man who entered the room and sat at the table at some time, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Are you... who are you?"

"Haha, Mr. Song hasn't figured it out yet? It's been a few months since I've seen you. Mr. Song, don't worry about it!"

"You are Hua Fei! You...you really are Hua Leng...Hua Fei!" Song Jiaoren was astonished, and quickly jumped off the bed without even wearing shoes, and jumped to the table, staring at Hua Fei , seems to have countless questions to ask.

"Don't worry!" Hua Fei smiled and tore off the fake beard, took off the hat and eyes, it was exactly Hua Fei's appearance. "Ask, but time is limited, please ask Mr. Song to focus first!"

After all, Song Jiaoren is a person who is used to storms, so he quickly calmed down, and when he stood in front of Hua Fei, he said in a strong and excited tone, "Tell me the truth, did you plan to assassinate me and put the blame on Yuan Shikai? "

"No!" Hua Fei said slowly, neither soft nor hard, "If I said that I knew in advance that Yuan Shikai was going to assassinate you, I just intervened and changed the original ending, would you believe me?"

Song Jiaoren stared into Hua Fei's eyes for a long time, neither answered in the affirmative nor denied.To him, this sentence meant that his intelligence system had no intention of discovering Yuan Shikai's assassination plan, and then he took advantage of the situation to neither change the fact that he was assassinated, nor allow himself to die.This is the so-called changed ending!Of course, Song Jiaoren guessed right, but he didn't guess right. Hua Fei didn't know this secret by relying on the intelligence system.

"You mean, you want me to die?" Song Jiaoren grasped this topic and didn't give up.

Hua Fei burst out laughing, thought for a while and said, "If I want you to die, can you still sit here and talk to me? It should be said that I hope you die within a period of time, at least in the eyes of the world, you are Assassinated by Yuan Shikai!"

"Why? Is it because of the second revolution?" Song Jiaoren chased after him.

Hua Fei was stunned, turned his eyes to the dim electric light, and murmured, "Perhaps, if it wasn't for this, the people of the country could see the true face of Yuan Shikai's dictatorship? If it wasn't for this, many people are still immersed in the peaceful establishment of the party and unification. In fantasy!"

"That is to say, only my death can trigger the second wave of revolution in our party. Only in this way can you take advantage of the situation to rise in the war and seek the greatest benefit!" Song Jiaoren's tone was already somewhat unkind

Hua Fei did not deny it, nodded and said, "You can think so!"

"Then. You'd better kill me! Otherwise, if I escape, I will definitely expose this huge conspiracy!" Song Jiaoren roared angrily.

Hua Fei was not angry.After Song Jiaoren's breathing slowed down a lot, he smiled and said, "Mr. Song doesn't have to be so angry. I want to ask Mr. Song, what did I do wrong? What conspiracy do I have? To assassinate you? Or to respond to the revolutionaries. Go ahead Fight against Yuan and win?"

"This..." Song Jiaoren was speechless for a moment, yes, what kind of conspiracy, the assassination plan was originally formulated by Yuan Shikai, if Hua Fei didn't intervene.I'm afraid he is dead long ago, and the second revolution is still inevitable.

"Mr. Song must think that I took advantage of you? I took the opportunity to occupy a large amount of territory in Suzhou and Shanghai. But I want to ask Mr. Song, are these provinces taken by Yuan Shikai? Then I attack and replace them? What's wrong? I occupy What is the essential difference between this place and other warlords occupying this place? Could it be that without me? Mr. Song, can you realize your ideal of a democratic republic?"

"Mr. Song must have read many reports in the newspapers. I implemented the Land Reform Act in Anhui Province with difficulty, offending a large number of landlords and gentry. I implemented policies to promote business in Jiangsu, Anhui and Shanghai, which greatly reduced tax revenue. I Set up banks and Yinhe investment companies to support countless national industrial and commercial enterprises. I am strict with military discipline. Set up a military government administrative supervision office to rectify local corruption and officials."

"I founded the Soldiers United Self-improvement Association, and put forward the slogan of strengthening the country, strengthening the army, and strengthening the people! I have strict military discipline, and have never plundered soldiers. I have never disturbed the people with unbridled soldiers! I vigorously established military enterprises and heavy industries, and developed education. Reformed people's livelihood I also want to dispatch a large number of overseas students for the future of our country. Cultivate a lot of talents! We also need to build railways and roads, build agricultural water conservancy, and improve our infrastructure! Soon, we will hold a national chamber of commerce Federation, discuss the reform of tax law and commercial law, and discuss the construction of internal affairs and industry!"

"We never talk empty words, we have been working hard to build our country! Although I have tens of thousands of people, has Mr. Song ever seen me in a pool of wine and meat? Profligate? Although I have tens of millions or even nearly [-] million in property, But Mr. Song, has he ever seen me take out a penny for personal enjoyment?"

"Although I am not a revolutionary, what do I do that is worse than your revolutionaries? Which is not an act of integrity and a clear conscience! I have a conspiracy, so let me ask Mr. Song, what is my conspiracy? Because our country has a A powerful army? Conspiracy to revitalize our industry and make the country rich and strong?"

Hua Feiyue became more excited as he spoke, and finally couldn't control himself. He stood up and waved his arms, and his tone became extraordinarily passionate.

Song Jiaoren's anger became less and less, until finally his face was full of shame.Yes, even if Hua Fei is a warlord who only seeks power for himself, he is still a good warlord.If there are more such warlords, why worry that the democratic republic cannot be realized?

Especially when the Revolutionary Party loudly called for the reform of people's livelihood, it involved many desires for land reform, and hoped that the general public could enjoy the fruits of the revolution.But in the end, due to many practical factors, it had to be shelved and died.And Hua Fei, just in the name of the governor of a province, tried to explore the Land Reform Act in Anhui Province!This is of no interest to him at all, why would he do it?Have you misread him?

"Then why don't you join the revolutionaries? Unite countless like-minded comrades to build a prosperous and prosperous China together?" Song Jiaoren felt a little regretful as soon as he said this.If Hua Fei joins the Revolutionary Party, perhaps the Revolutionary Party will accept him.But then his army will be monitored or even taken over, can he still win the victory of the second revolution?If Hua Fei is willing to join the Revolutionary Party, why not join early?He has never joined the Revolutionary Party, does it mean that he has no confidence in the Revolutionary Party?

Song Jiaoren became more and more sure of his guess!Seeing Hua Fei calm down and smile slightly, Song Jiaoren continued to ask, "Then Mr. Hua, what is your ideal, or what is your goal?"

"It's very simple!" Hua Fei raised his palm and raised a finger, "There are only eight words, that is, the rise of the nation, the revival of the country!"

The rise of the nation!National revival!The seemingly simple eight characters sometimes sound so inspiring!Seemingly ordinary eight words, what kind of hardships and how many people's efforts should be made, even dedicated with blood!

Song Jiaoren felt that something in his heart was stirred, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling. He stood up and looked at Hua Fei and said suppressedly, "The newspaper said that you want to organize a self-government elected by the people? Song has learned all his life. Law! If Commander Hua needs it, Song is willing to do his best to formulate an autonomous government and self-government law for Commander Hua!"

"No, that's not my purpose of saving Mr. Song!"

"Oh? What orders does Commander Hua have?" Song Jiaoren wondered.

"I wonder what Mr. Song thinks about the two-party system?"

"Two-party system?" Although Song Jiaoren was surprised by Hua Fei's question, he quickly said after studying the political system for a long time, "Nowadays, in Western capitalist countries, Britain and the United States and other countries implement two-party elections for the ruling government in turn. Britain has a two-party parliamentary system , while the United States is a two-party system for the president. The two-party system can speak for different interest groups to the greatest extent, immediately through elections, governing in a fair turn, and can be used by the opposition party to monitor the ruling party!"

"Why, why did Commander Hua suddenly ask this question?" Song Jiaoren might think it was very strange for Hua Fei to ask this question, so he paused and asked in bewilderment.

Hua Fei closed his eyes. After a long silence, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I hope you can withdraw from the Revolutionary Party and use your influence and appeal to re-form a political party that represents the majority of peasants, workers, and handicraft industrial and commercial classes!"

143 Autonomy agreement

Quit the Revolutionary Party?Form a political party? "Hua Fei's proposal immediately caused huge waves in) E's heart. He understood very well what Hua Fei's proposal represented. Since the reform of the Revolutionary Party, Sun Wen, Huang Xing and others have thought of retreating behind the scenes , He was also elected as the chairman of the board. It can be said that all of Song Jiaoren's blood and feelings were poured there. How can you let him accept Hua Fei's ridiculous proposal.

"Mr. Song understands your ideal of democracy and republic. Why can't you realize your responsible cabinet?" Hua Fei's words immediately hit Song Jiaoren's sensitive area and calmed down his impulsive emotions instantly.

"Because of differences and strength!" Hua Fei looked into Song Jiaoren's eyes, and said slowly, "The Revolutionary Party was originally formed by the joint formation of many parties. Even between you and Mr. Sun Wen, there are differences in the political system Disagreement. Disagreement is not a bad thing, but if you disagree on fundamental issues, you will not be able to form a joint force, and you will not be able to fully devote yourself to the construction of Mr.'s responsible cabinet."

"Another key reason is strength. Obviously, after Yuan Shikai stole the position of President of the National Congress, his strength and status will never let go of the power in his hand and support the responsible cabinet of Mr.! Although the Democratic Party led by Mr. He won the general election, but Yuan Shikai would never tolerate Mr. going to Beijing to weaken his presidential rights, so Mr. was assassinated!"

"If I'm not wrong, all this is the prelude to Yuan Shikai's dictatorship. It is not impossible for him to completely control all power, and even ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor! Even if we temporarily obtain the tacit approval of self-government in Jiangsu and Shanghai , That is also the compromise Yuan Shikai had to make under the circumstances. During the holidays, once the opportunity comes, he will definitely create an opportunity to cancel our right of autonomy!"

"No!" Song Jiaoren shouted loudly, "Impossible, President Yuan would not be such a person! I don't deny that there are huge differences within the Revolutionary Party, and I think this may be the reason why you don't want to join the Revolutionary Party. But I can tell you that all of this is not a reason for me to leave the Revolutionary Party and form a new party!"

"The country is rich and the army is strong, the goods are abundant and the people are sufficient.

Can this reason allow Mr. to make a decision? "

"This is not a concept, nor is it a reason why I must leave the Revolutionary Party!"

"I know it's hard to convince Mr., because the more you are like Mr., the more firm and stubborn your thinking will be!" Hua Fei continued without seeming disappointed, "I just want to say that you can only shoot from the barrel of a gun." Power, but I don’t want to hand over the country to a group of soldiers to govern, it’s easy to cause trouble! This is why I want my husband to come out again. I just want him to understand that now is the best time for the rejuvenation and rise of our country and nation. Timing, Mr. Wan, please don't miss the fate of the entire nation because of the obsession in your heart!"

Speaking of others, Song Jiaoren might not be able to impress him at all.But Hua Fei's last words made Song Jiaoren terrified!Power grows out of the barrel of a gun, what do you mean?Could it be that he, Hua Fei, is going to continue the war?Plotting a country's mountains and rivers?Moreover, according to his tone, even if he wins the country, he does not want to be in power, but strongly advocates his own responsible cabinet system.

besides.The phrase is the best time for national rejuvenation and rise.What's the meaning?

"Mr. Hua wait!" Seeing Hua Fei stand up and want to leave.Song Jiaoren quickly called Hua Fei to stop.asked loudly. "Why does Commander Hua put the revival and rise of the entire nation on Song's shoulders? Song doesn't even understand. The so-called opportunity for national revival. What do you mean?"

Song Jiaoren was finally interested.In order to make his decision more beneficial to himself.Just reveal some secrets!

Hua Fei turned around.The corner of the mouth moved slightly. "It's not bad as I expected. The conflicts among European countries are becoming more and more obvious. I am afraid that in the near future, war will be used to resolve it. And this war will start. It will be an unprecedented huge war. It will greatly weaken the status of many powerful countries. Strength. Reduce their influence in our country!"

Song Jiaoren's eyes were full of surprise.Seeing that Hua Fei didn't speak for a long time.Hajime said carefully. "You mean...we will probably take advantage of this opportunity. Drive all foreign influence out of China?"

Foreigners in the Chinese concession and various unequal treaties.It has been an eternal pain in the hearts of many people of insight.It's just limited by national strength.Powerless.I had to helplessly ignore the reality in front of me.

"No, that's not in our interests!" Hua Fei said quickly, "There are priorities, why should I vigorously build and invest in heavy industries? Because if my predictions come true, all kinds of industries in our country will definitely be under the stimulation of war. , usher in a golden time for development!"

"If we can, we will even join the winning side, so as to gain bargaining chips in the pre-war and post-war negotiations. Take back part of our sovereignty, and at least take back our tariff rights. These are what I call luck!"

At this time, Song Jiaoren had no responsible cabinet in his mind at all, and his purpose of forming a cabinet was not just for the prosperity of the country.If Hua Fei's judgment is accurate, then this is indeed luck!It's just how he can make this judgment with certainty. Is the European war he expected likely to break out?Is he capable of unifying the country?All of this is like a mess, entangled in Song Jiaoren's mind.

"What... does this have anything to do with my formation of a new party?"

Hearing that Song Jiaoren's tone began to loosen, Hua Fei was overjoyed, but he still maintained that smile on the surface, and said directly, "Because most of my subordinates are soldiers, they are not good at governing people's livelihood and civil affairs. I will report to the Revolutionary Party All parties, including the Communist Party of China, open their doors to open elections to form an autonomous government. But I must control a political party, fight against the revolutionary party, and supervise and restrict each other. I am not guarding against anything. I only hope that the autonomous government can devote all its energy to the construction of people's livelihood Come up, not endless internal strife and power struggle!"

"I might as well tell you frankly that even if my husband refuses to agree to my request, I will still operate behind the scenes to form a new political party - the Chinese Renaissance Party! I want to gather a large number of people who are interested in the revival of the nation and the improvement of people's livelihood. Young people with lofty ideals, join the party and work hard for the common cause of revival! I am not using this to manipulate the government, I only hope to influence and supervise!"

At this time, Song Jiaoren had completely calmed down. He looked directly into Hua Fei's eyes and said seriously, "You tell me this, don't you worry that I will leak it?"
