Beiyang reactionaries

In a word, if Zhang Zizhong graduated from Tianjin School of Law and Politics, he would have a bachelor's degree.

very impressive.

In China today, there are actually not many people who can graduate from elementary schools. Those who can graduate from higher schools are all great intellectuals.As for those who can really have a bachelor's degree, it is as rare as a panda.Duan Xun's troops absorbed many graduates from higher primary schools.

Further up, it's all baby.

Not to mention that Zhang Zizhong's academic qualifications are completely rare in Duan Xun's place.Most of the graduates from Tianjin School of Law and Politics will enter the political arena with a bright future.Don't say that this kind of officer can fight, even if he can't fight, sometimes he will have face if he is taken out.

This time, it happened that Zhang Zizhong's troops were stationed in Syria, so Duan Xun gave Zhang Zizhong the task of receiving the Yunnan delegation.

Gu Pinzhen briefly introduced the people on his side, and Zhang Zizhong received them very warmly.Gu Pinzhen and the others stayed in Gaoxian County, ate and rested, and then went north into Syria.After arriving in Syria, Zhang Zizhong proposed to take a day off in Syria.When everyone sits down, we also get to know each other.

Soon everyone talked about the [-] Revolution.

Now everyone found a common topic.Because these people here were originally members of the League.Needless to say, Gu Pinzhen and Ye Quan were senior generals of the Yunnan Army in the year of [-], but Jiang Meiling, Yang Jie, and young Wang Kai (commander-in-chief) and Zhang Zizhong were all members of the Tongmenghui in the late Qing Dynasty.Speaking of which, they were all from the League and the Revolutionary Party.

Now everyone's relationship has been shortened a lot, and the relationship is different.

It is also an exclamation.

For these people in the Tongmenghui, everyone was full of enthusiasm during the [-] Revolution, hoping to establish a republic.But a few years later, the country is still in chaos, and there are more wars than in the late Qing Dynasty.

As soon as everyone talked, they began to talk about the [-] Revolution, the Second Revolution, the National Protection Movement, and so on.

not bad.

Gu Pinzhen and Ye Quan had a good impression of Zhang Zizhong.Zhang Zizhong is a handsome man with the heroic spirit of a soldier.And the conversation is extraordinary, it can be seen that he has read a lot of books.For many people, first impressions are very important.Zhang Zizhong gave them a very good first impression. Even in the Yunnan Army, there are very few officers like Zhang Zizhong who are both civil and military.Everyone is a soldier, and the topic soon shifted to some issues of leading troops to fight.

Several people even watched Zhang Zizhong's army.

Zhang Zizhong didn't shy away from it, not even Gu Pinzhen and the others in the internal confrontation of the army.Let Gu Pinzhen and the others observe Duan Xun's troops at close range.

Full of praise.

Zhang Zizhong's army is indeed very energetic, with strong tactical capabilities in various small areas.Gu Pinzhen, Ye Quan and the others observed Zhang Zizhong's troops very carefully, and wanted to see what was different about Duan Xun's troops that defeated the Yunnan Army back then.

After watching the army, everyone quickly detoured to the question of revolution.After all, everyone used to be a member of the Tongmenghui, so let's talk about the current situation.

It was just a simple chat.

But Zhang Zizhong, a young officer, was very talkative, and there was almost nothing he couldn't answer.As the current officer of Duan Xun's army, he should be a very respected young officer who can be the head of the [-]th Mixed Brigade at such a young age.Who is Duan Xun? He was born in the direct line of the Beiyang Army and has a deep relationship with the current Prime Minister Duan Qirui.Just half a year ago, Duan Xun was an insurmountable barrier for the National Defense Army.As an officer of Duan Xun's Department, Zhang Zizhong should understand his position.But he didn't care, even talking about the revolutionary issue without shy away.

I don't even hide some of my views on the Three People's Principles, including some of the current situation in China.

Gu Pinzhen and Ye Quan were surprised at first.Even if they were born in the revolutionary party, in the five years since the end of the Revolution of [-], many revolutionary parties have changed their course.Even Li Xie, the well-known bigwig of the Revolutionary Party, and other figures a year ago advocated Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne.Including Zhang Zizhong in front of him is not just defecting to Duan Xun.Moreover, the people who can come to receive him must be Duan Xun's direct descendants, but many of Zhang Zizhong's views are actually very close to the revolutionary party.This is quite unexpected and completely incomprehensible.

Very surprised at the beginning.But listen, people from Gu Pinzhen to Ye Quan, Yang Jie, Jiang Meiling and Wang Kai are no longer surprised, but dumbfounded.The so-called political platform is like a brand.Regardless of whether it is Yuan Shikai, or the current Duan Qirui, or Feng Guozhang, and Tang Jiyao, each of them is trying to expand their strength, and many of them have been very powerful for a while, and it seems that they are about to unify China .

But after all, they are just passers-by in history.

Because of what?

It's very simple, because none of them have a very clear and definite political program.But Sun Yat-sen is different, why he has been defeated repeatedly, and sometimes even lost in a mess, but he can still rise again.

It is because Sun Yat-sen has his own political program.

Correct or not, he has a political platform, like a brand.The comrades-in-arms of this generation parted ways with him, but there will still be batches of young people following him and defecting to him for Sun Yat-sen's brand, or for Sun Yat-sen's political platform.

So Sun Yat-sen was always able to rise again.

This is Sun Yat-sen's advantage.

It is an advantage that others in this era cannot match.Speaking of starting from the year of [-], or from the end of the Qing Dynasty, there are several real historical events in China that have a direct relationship with Sun Yat-sen.

No.

For example, the most important Wuchang Uprising in [-], where is Sun Yat-sen?Begging in the United States, ready to raise money from the United States.The main leaders of the Wuchang Uprising were the Gongjinhui and the Literary Society.Later, when the Kuomintang was established and the National Congress was victorious, where was Sun Yat-sen?He is in Japan.Song Jiaoren was responsible for everything from the establishment of the Kuomintang to the victory of the congressional election.

Sun Yat-sen caught up with the Second Revolution, but the Second Revolution was wiped out by the Beiyang Army without causing much waves.And the war to protect the country has nothing to do with Sun Yat-sen.

The initiators of the War to Protect the Country were progressive parties such as Liang Qichao, Cai E, and Dai Kan, and the main forces were the armies of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.In the end, it was Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, the two giants of the Beiyang Army, who decided the outcome of the War to Protect the Country.Even Lu Rongting, the governor of Guangxi, far surpassed Sun Yat-sen in his role.

Even though the Law Protection War that happened later was initiated in the name of Sun Yat-sen, the real leaders were Tang Jiyao, the boss of the Yunnan Army, and Rong Ting, the old mainland of the Guangxi Clan.Sun Yat-sen is just one of their flags, it just looks good.The two began to use Sun Yat-sen, and later found out that Sun Yat-sen really regarded himself as the leader of the Dharma Protection Movement, and immediately kicked Sun Yat-sen out.

Then what?

Although there was Sun Yat-sen in the Zhiwan War that determined the ownership of the Beijing government, the two Zhifeng Wars, and the "Beijing Coup" that broke out in the middle, Sun Yat-sen never played the leading role in these events that determined Chinese history.Many of them can't even mention supporting roles.

That is to say, starting from the Wuchang Uprising in the year of [-], and then the protection of the country, the protection of the law, the Zhiwan War, the Zhifeng War, and the Beijing Uprising, among these major events that affected the course of Chinese history, Sun Yat-sen was almost all soy sauce.In other words, since the Revolution of [-], Sun Yat-sen has not appeared in major historical events in China at all.In the past ten years, China's history has been guided by others.

But what about historical evaluation?

Regardless of whether it was the new China that followed or the Chiang Kai-shek clique that fled to Taiwan, Sun Yat-sen's evaluation was extremely high.No matter how high it is, it insists on linking these matters with Sun Yat-sen, insisting that Sun Yat-sen plays a very important role in these matters.

why?

Because the starting point of both sides is split from Sun Yat-sen.But why the two parties, which concentrated the young Chinese elite at that time, both chose to fall under the banner of Sun Yat-sen, that is because Sun Yat-sen attracted batch after batch of young people to join him by virtue of his political platform.Regardless of whether it is the young members of the Kuomintang or the TG side, everyone gathers under Sun Yat-sen's banner, or around Sun Yat-sen's political platform.

This is the advantage of a political platform.

The Tongmenghui was established, why the powerful faction headed by Huang Xing can only be inferior to Sun Yat-sen.It is because although everyone is advocating revolution, everyone knows that they want to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but that's all.

At that time, only Sun Yat-sen put forward the most complete political program, that is, the Three People's Principles.Don't look at the later people who think that the Three People's Principles have one or another flaw, and the content inside is also very empty.But for people at that time, the Three People's Principles was a very good political program.

After so many years since the Revolution of [-], hundreds of political parties have been established in China, and countless political programs have been put forward.But all of them are talking in general terms, and none of them can go beyond the scope of Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles.

But Gu Pinzhen and the others discovered that just in front of them, a young officer of the Beiyang Army actually started to talk about the Three People's Principles that he understood.The speech is so good, even more profound than what they understand.Moreover, this person is not Sun Yat-sen, nor is he a great theorist, but a small, young regiment leader, and even the commander of the Beiyang Army.

abnormal.

So much so that several people were obsessed with Zhang Zizhong's words.

"Teacher Zhang, listening to Jun's speech today is really better than reading ten years of books."

Originally, I had a good rest at night, and then I was going north at dawn.But as soon as everyone chatted, they talked until the early hours of the morning.Only then did Gu Pinzhen realize that the time had passed too long.

"Don't dare."

"Tuan Zhang, you really shouldn't be a soldier. You should really talk to Mr. Sun about your thoughts."

"General Gu, you are joking. I am still young, and I am a low-level military officer. How can I have such insight."

"Oh, I don't know..."

Even if Zhang Zizhong said it was his own idea, Gu Pinzhen could hardly believe it.However, Gu Pinzhen really wants to know who is the theorist who has such a deep understanding of the Three People's Principles, even more thorough and outstanding than Sun Yat-sen who proposed the Three People's Principles.

Including how to realize the Three Principles of the People are much more specific and practical than Sun Yat-sen's crude ideas.
