Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu snorted coldly in his heart and said sarcastically: "Yuan Shikai is indeed a traitor, so what will be the rules after Mr. Sun overthrows Yuan Shikai? He won't continue to be a traitor under the pretext of continuing to be a traitor, right?"

In history, Sun Yat-sen was committed to this road in the latter part of his political career, determined to transform the Kuomintang from a loose political alliance into a fighting and centripetal party.For this reason, the father of the country even used the trick of signing, painting, swearing and swearing, but unfortunately the effect has not been good. In the end, he learned from the most advanced Soviet Union to make a historic breakthrough. Unfortunately, he left this world before he had time to enjoy himself. , completely fulfilled Chiang Kai-shek.As for **, it is said that after many years in China, it has become synonymous with reactionary, corrupt, split, and conspiracy, and no one dares to mention it.

Yang Yongtai naturally wanted to distinguish a few words for Sun Yat-sen: "How could this be? Mr. Zhongshan said that as long as Yuan Shikai, a traitor of the Communists, is overthrown, we will restore the temporary contract, and then take the road of capitalism. Next..."

"The next step is to be rich and strong, right? Now I finally know why a revolutionary like Mr. Sun is scorned as Sun Dapao. It is true that the slogan is loud and loud. Have you checked the situation of the country? What are the great powers?" What is the situation? Especially what are the plans of the Japanese who support your Kuomintang economically? It is good to have revolutionary ideals, but without effective revolutionary means, that means you have too much ambition and lack of talent, and you are harming yourself and others!"

Yang Yongtai's face changed: "Yu Shuai, during the Revolution of [-], you fought against the Qing army on the front line in Hubei. During the Second Revolution, you also responded to begging Yuan. Why do you criticize Mr. Sun so much now? Could it be that you really took refuge in Yuan Shikai? How can you be so repetitive?"

Seeing that the guy known in history as Kong Ming still had such an ideal and passionate side, Wang Zhenyu laughed and said, "Should I take out weapons next to eliminate harm for the revolution?"

"Assassination is an extraordinary method, Yu Shuai makes me laugh, but such a lowly method, Changqing will disdain it all his life." After speaking, Yang Yongtai turned his face to one side angrily. . .

Chapter 174 Going North to the Capital ([-])

Seeing that Yang Yongtai was really angry, Wang Zhenyu smiled and said: "I know Brother Changqing's character, but Brother Yu has a few words to tell you frankly, I don't know if Brother Changqing is willing to listen."

Only then did Yang Yongtai realize that he actually had a mission to come here this time, and he was actually irritated by this young man who was more than ten years younger than him just now.He tried his best to control his emotions, forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "All ears, Yu Shuai, but it's okay to say."

Wang Zhenyu said in a low voice: "Brother Changqing, although I am young, in my opinion, our China will inevitably be full of disturbances in the next ten years. Whether it is Yuan Gong's way or Mr. Sun's way, we can't save the current situation. The situation. If you really want to start a career, you must find another way to be the right way.”

It was the first time Yang Yongtai heard such a point of view, he asked curiously: "Why Yuan Gong and Mr. Sun can't get through, please ask Yu Shuai to explain clearly, Chang Qing doesn't quite understand."

"Hehe, the law doesn't spread to the ears. Come on, brother Changqing, how about we go down to the guest room and talk in detail? Yu Ting, give Councilor Yang and me a cup of Pu-erh tea, and you want Pu-ha." Yang Yongtai got off the cabin. . .

As soon as Wang Zhenyu and Yang Yongtai sat down in the big bedroom, which is much more spacious than other guest rooms, Wang Zhenyu smiled and said, "Before I say anything, brother Changqing, please accept my request."

"Okay, please tell me." Yang Yongtai was really good-tempered.

"I have seen Brother Changqing's ability, but what he met was not a human being, and he had no ambitions. Wang has no other requirements, but what Wang said today, if the future is correct, please put aside other things and come to help me , Wang will treat him as a national scholar, and he will never break his promise. I hope Brother Changqing will not refuse." Wang Zhenyu said very sincerely.

Yang Yongtai calculated for a long time but did not expect that Wang Zhenyu would make such a request. As a Cantonese, although he is from the same hometown as Mr. Sun, he has not been highly valued in the Kuomintang.In terms of fame, in the political arena of the Republic of China, he himself was an unknown person, but seeing Wang Zhenyu's appearance, he really invited him sincerely. Yang Yongtai was moved in his heart, and naturally agreed: "Thanks to Yushuai's praise, if we are really destined to meet, Yang will do all he has learned in his life, and only ask for the generous treatment of the commander-in-chief today."

"Hehe, it's too serious. In the future, Wen Zheng must ask you. Let's talk about the situation in China."

Yang Yongtai nodded solemnly, then leaned slightly, as if listening attentively.

"Let's talk about our President Yuan first. Don't look at the old Yuan who won the war with Mr. Sun and was brought into Beijing by me and Lao Cai from Yunnan. It seems that the national unification has been completed. But it is such a prosperous, When the momentum is in full swing, I dare say that his good days in Beiyang are over."

At this time, Zhao Yuting brought in the brewed Shengpu. Wang Zhenyu was not so particular about it. He picked up one of the cups, took a sip against the white heat, and continued: "Beiyang must perish. They don't have lofty political beliefs." , without a clear development goal, let alone organization and discipline. Some of them are clichés of getting promoted and getting rich, some of them are small calculations for maintaining their own self-interest, and their style is still that of the former Qing Dynasty. A huge feudal dynasty is maintaining the dependent relationship, so now that the emperor is gone, Yuan Shikai’s weight to maintain the dependent relationship is gone. Look at Feng Guozhang and the others after they arrived in Nanjing. Look at Lao Yuan himself, what political goals and ideas he can come up with to rectify the whole Beiyang. What he can do is to sacrifice the interests of the country and the nation to please the big powers in exchange for their support; The means are nothing more than buying, assassinating, wooing, and dividing, and the result is nothing more than maintaining superficial unity and stability. Therefore, in Wang's view, their current strength is just the last afterglow of the remaining forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and their final victory in China. The end is bound to disappear from the political arena. In fact, why did the Japanese bet on both sides, while giving Yuan Shikai a loan to suppress the revolution, and at the same time accepting Mr. Sun’s asylum through the Black Dragon Association, and even providing funds and weapons needed for the revolution. This is In fact, it represents the attitude of the big powers. What they want is for China to maintain the relative stability of their interests in China, not for China to become prosperous and powerful. So, our President Yuan, no matter how much he struggles, in this kind of internal It is very difficult to make a fuss in an environment where there is no external stability. The only ending left for Beiyang is one word, death!"

Yang Yongtai was dumbfounded when he heard this. If Wang Zhenyu was still a rough martial artist in his mind when he took this task at the beginning, he is now a great big shot.Brave and resourceful, far-sighted, rare in the world.

"Yu Shuai, what you said is very true, but how long will Beiyang last? Have you ever thought about it?"

Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "Brother Changqing, this is a big deadlock. President Yuan will find that his former subordinates are getting more and more disobedient, so he will definitely carry out a reform of the current politics. Either the military will be nationalized, and it will be completely gone. The road of constitutionalism will expand the ruling base of the Beijing government, and thus slowly reverse the unfavorable situation from the system. However, there is no difference in essence between playing this way and being wiped out of Beiyang. It is estimated that Lao Yuan will not take this road. Then he can The choice is the same. If the new path doesn’t work, then we can only go back to the old path. I’ll see if it’s the restoration of the Qing emperor or Lao Yuan himself becomes the emperor. Once the latter path is taken, I can guarantee that the time for Lao Yuan’s death has arrived. , and once Lao Yuan dies, Beiyang will be completely disbanded, and the next thing we Chinese are best at playing is internal strife. When Beiyang has exhausted his strength and lost the hearts of the people, the emerging power will take its place.”

Even if Wang Zhenyu had to show his face, he didn't dare to talk too much.But this level is enough to surprise Yang Yongtai.

"Then, then, will Mr. Sun and the Kuomintang be emerging forces?"

"Haha, brother Changqing, what did our Mr. Sun start his career with? Rebellion. And what is his concept of rebellion, that is, the eight-character slogan we shouted when we were fighting with the Qing army in Hubei, to drive out the Tartars. This is called nationalism, and it is still the narrowest kind. Whether you enter Beijing, Manchuria, or the Eight Banners, everything has become history, so this set will naturally fall behind and become outdated. This time the second Why did the revolution fail so quickly? A few of the southern gentry, wealthy and famous people in the region contributed money and effort to support those who challenged Yuan Jun, but I can say that there were basically none. Why? The Kuomintang is not qualified as a political party. Similarly, they have no attractive political ideas, no clear development goals, and their organization and discipline are not as good as their counterparts; unlike Beiyang, they do not have the righteous name of the central government. At this time, you can only rely on a few sentences to maintain the temporary Covenant law, protect the constitutional government of **, and oppose zhuanzhi** to encourage everyone to continue to follow you to rebel against the central government of Beiyang. Except for those with poor brains, most wealthy people will not follow you. The times are advancing, If Mr. Sun continues to stick to the anti-Manchurian routine, then he may continue to drink sake at the Black Dragon Association in Japan for a few days. President Yuan is not dead, and he will be too tired to come back."

Yang Yongtai seemed to hear a different meaning: "Then if President Yuan dies, can Mr. Sun be the No. [-] politician in China?"

Wang Zhenyu thought about it. In fact, Sun Yat-sen did not become the real No1 in history until his death. He was at best the spiritual leader of the people. This is based on the fact that he was not in power. On the list, his name is still ahead of Yuan Shikai.Hehe, I was being extreme again, Wang Zhenyu hastily reversed his thinking, his purpose now is very clear, not to brag, but to fool.We must try our best to lure the current active Kongming into our own revolutionary camp, and my life will probably be easier in the future. . .

"Brother Changqing, I actually admire Mr. Sun's character. After all, he lived and died for the revolution for more than ten years. From this point of view, we are not comparable. But I still have some unpleasant things to say. If you don’t agree, just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”

Yang Yongtai's eyes on Wang Zhenyu changed at this moment, and he naturally nodded without hesitation.

"The biggest flaw of Mr. Sun and the Kuomintang is that there is no revolutionary armed force with combat effectiveness and discipline. In other words, the loyalty of the armed forces under his name to him is not as good as that of the Beiyang lords to Lao Yuan! In this case Next, it is inevitable that Mr. Sun will be called Sun Dapao by the northerners. As far as I know, the reorganization of the Kuomintang in Japan is not going well this time. Even Cheng Qian from Hunan did not agree to press his fingerprints and left. In fact, he is engaged in politics. If it needs to use the method of the Black Dragon Club to play, it is a failure in itself. Therefore, the current Kuomintang cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of overthrowing the Beiyang forces headed by Yuan Shikai. I can even say that if the Kuomintang does not reform, it cannot propose to adapt to the current situation. The direction of China's social change and the political ideas and goals it needs, so the emerging forces that will replace Beiyang in the future will definitely not be them."

"Brother Changqing, I have established a National Socialist Party in Anjiang, and I have already begun to experiment in this area. If you are interested, we can communicate." Seeing Yang Yongtai in a daze, Wang Zhenyu added another sentence, and then picked up the teacup Take a big sip.

Yang Yongtai was obviously stunned by Wang Zhenyu's analysis, he didn't pay attention to the last sentence.

After a long time, Yang Yongtai came back to his senses: "Then Yu Shuai, what is the direction of our country's social change, and what is needed now?"

"Land" Wang Zhenyu replied without thinking. . .

Chapter 175 Going North to the Capital ([-])

The Yuanjiang ship arrived at Hankou Wharf in Wuhan on the night of December 12. According to the schedule, Wang Zhenyu would change trains here to go to Beijing. As a result, at the wharf, Wang Zhenyu unexpectedly met a big man of this era. . .

The wharf in Hankou is not big, just enough to berth two passenger ships at the same time. Tonight, a passenger ship from Chongqing and a passenger ship from Anjiang arrived at Hankou Wharf almost at the same time.

Wang Zhenyu, Yang Yongtai, Zhao Yuting, and Wang Chenhao disembarked first. He planned to enjoy the cold wind on the pier, and then wait for the entourage to come down with their luggage before going to the reserved hotel to rest and take the first train to Beijing tomorrow morning.

As a result, he habitually glanced at the passenger ship from Chongqing, only to see a soldier in a lieutenant general's uniform walking down the escalator. Who could this be?Wang Zhenyu is interested!

Wang Zhenyu suddenly walked towards this person. The lieutenant general didn't bring too many entourages, so he didn't take much action. On the contrary, the personnel arranged by the Hubei Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau to secretly protect the pier were scared to death.

It has to be said that with the financial support of the General Administration of Smoking Control, He Jian's Military Intelligence Bureau has unknowingly developed into the largest spy agency in China, in terms of its network layout, number of employees, and work efficiency. Even Yuan Shikai's Law Enforcement Office led by Lu Jianzhang could not compete with it.It’s just that the reputation is not obvious. First, it is intentional to erase the traces of this department’s existence; second, most of the network is in a latent state, and more tasks are to collect intelligence and develop insiders, rather than assassination, blasting, and kidnapping. This kind of errand that can become famous in one battle.

The person wearing the lieutenant general's uniform has a thin face, but his eyes are sharp, and with his characteristic mustache that has been trimmed, he looks particularly energetic.He watched the young man also wearing the lieutenant general's uniform walking towards him, and thought it was the reception staff arranged by Hubei, so he reached out his hand to signal the guards not to stop him.

Wang Zhenyu will not be sure if this is Cai E for a while. After all, he has never seen Cai E's photos, and he knows more about Cai E's image that stays in film and television works.In the film and television works of later generations, Cai E is simply a model of being tall, handsome and rich. As for the one in front of him, he is very similar to a porter from Shaoyang Longhui in the warehouse of the logistics company where Wang Zhenyu worked.Wang Zhenyu was very impressed with this porter. That guy gave birth to five children in one go, so he spared no effort when working, and he also liked to calculate small accounts, which often annoyed Wang Zhenyu.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that people should not be judged by their appearance. Out of caution and politeness, Wang Zhenyu cupped his hands first and said: "In Xiayuan Xianggui Military Affairs Supervisor, Army Lieutenant General Wang Zhenyu, I have seen this brother, dare to ask him for his name!"

Although the man looked unsmiling, he smiled before he spoke: "Cai E, whose name is Songpo, was formerly the governor of Yunnan..."

Great God, awesome man, Wang Zhenyu crashed on the spot. Is such a person who looks like a porter of later generations the general Cai E who changed the direction of the entire Chinese history in the early Republic of China?

Wang Zhenyu grasped General Cai E's hand with a little excitement, no matter what, let's talk about the king's spirit first.If the person in front of him hadn't died of illness in Japan, it would be really hard to say that he would have made it to that point later on. Anyway, Cao Kun made him fight and flee, and Feng Yuxiang made him fight for the second time. . .Although some people's trajectories in history are as short as meteors, their light is eternal.

Yang Yongtai, who was standing not far away, also noticed the situation here. It seemed that the domineering Wang Zhenyu who was talking on the boat before was extremely polite and courteous to the lieutenant general opposite him.

"Brother Changqing, come quickly, come quickly, this is my number one pride in the Hunan military circle, one of the three outstanding Japanese non-commissioned officers, and the glory of our Baoqing Mansion, General Cai Songpo Cai." Wang Zhenyu also hurriedly called Yang Yongtai to come and see him.

For Wang Zhenyu, Cai E has almost no impression. When Wang Zhenyu won Guangxi a month ago, Cai E was still busy cleaning up the situation in Chongqing.The person who knows the most about this novelty in the military circle is Baoqing's hometown, and also the nephew of Wang Longzhong, an old friend in the army.However, even though Wang Longzhong and I are from the same hometown of Baoqing, we really don't have much contact with each other in private.

"We all know your uncle Wang Longzhong. He has a straightforward personality. He is obviously a scholarly family, but he doesn't care about his status. He is willing to mingle with Qiu Ba, and he is loved by soldiers." Climb up friendship.

Wang Zhenyu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally followed the example: "It turns out that Brother Zhao Hengti is your old subordinate in Guangxi. You didn't tell me earlier. I met him when we were preparing to participate in the Northern Expedition in Nanjing. Because of our compatible personalities, we came and went. Later, he became a sworn brother. I returned to Hunan from Nanjing, and he also helped me a lot. But you know about the Second Revolution, and I won’t hide it from you. He is living with me now. I won't say much more."

What happened to Zhao Hengti? Everyone on the scene knew that on Tang Hualong's most wanted list, this man was right behind Cheng Qian.So Cai E immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard what Wang Zhenyu said: "Wenzheng, you were carved out of the same mold as your uncle, and it is really righteous to be a man and do things..."

After a while of pleasantries, Wang Zhenyu found out that Cai E and the others hadn't booked a room at the hotel yet (nonsense, whoever has nothing to do with a lot of money has no place to spend it like raising spies everywhere and setting up an office).He immediately asked Wang Chenhao to make arrangements for the brothers below to squeeze in. No matter what he did, he must give up a few rooms for Cai E. Naturally, Cai E couldn't refuse this, so he could only express his gratitude.

Seeing fellow countrymen in a foreign country really brought tears to their eyes; plus Wang Zhenyu and Cai E are the same, this time they both belong to the two representative figures who were promoted by Beiyang old Yuan to cut down the vassal, so I started to cherish heroes (Wang Zhenyu is at best an orangutan, so it should be a hero who cherishes the orangutan), and Wang Zhenyu deliberately made friends, and the relationship between the two immediately became familiar.

The next day, Wang Zhenyu spent a lot of money on the second car and invited Cai E to ride north with him. Cai E joked: "Then I will take Wenzheng's car."

Wang Zhenyu hurriedly said: "This is not rubbish, you are giving me face, if you don't sit down, let my uncle know, you must punish me severely."

With Cai E on this journey, it will naturally not be boring. Cai E is actually quite talkative, and his inner depression also needs to be resolved. Along the way, he will tell some anecdotes about studying in Japan from time to time.It often makes everyone laugh, especially the little girl Zhao Yuting who burst into tears.
