    "The first one is Li Songqing (Li Yuanhong). He was originally the commander of the 21st Mixed Association of the Qing Dynasty. He had stayed in Beiyang for a long time before and was very familiar with the generals under Yuan Weiting. He was also a famous general in his own right.  . Later he moved to Wuchang and was loved by the military and civilians of Hubei. After the Wuchang uprising, he was elected as the commander-in-chief of the Hubei military government. Li Songqing was not only a hero of the first uprising in the revolution, but also closely related to the northern army generals. If he served as the president of the Republic of China, I would like to come  Public opinion in both the north and the south is unconvincing, and it is most appropriate." Sun Yat-sen immediately changed the subject, "However, according to news from Wuhan, Li Songqing seems unwilling to take office, and he recommended another person."

    Li Yuanhong, like Sun Yat-sen, seemed to still have concerns about the prospects of the revolution, and neither wanted to be the leader. On the surface, he pretended to be righteous and abdicated in favor of others.

    Homer Lee asked: "Who did Mr. Li recommend?"

    "He is the second suitable candidate I want to talk about, Yuan Weiting, who is currently the Prime Minister of the Manchu Qing Cabinet." Sun Yat-sen said.

    Homer Li immediately interjected: "Yuan? I know this person. He is ambitious and strategic. He has been manipulating the largest military group in the country either openly or covertly. He is currently the most influential real power figure in China. But he  Your political leanings are very conservative, will you support the revolution?"

    Sun Yat-sen said: "I don't really believe in Yuan Weiting. In fact, he sent someone to find me as early as two years ago, hoping to work with me to overthrow the existing government. If I nod, he can even let me go first.  The court canceled the wanted order against me to show its sincerity. I thought he was playing a trick and ignored it.

    "Recently, I heard Huang Keqiang say that in early 1908, an envoy from the Zhili Governor's Office came to him. He claimed to be entrusted by Yang Shixiang and came to convey Yuan Gongbao's wishes. The visitor said that Gongbao knew that Mr. Huang was committed to the revolution and served the sea.  The expectations from both inside and outside will surely become a reality in the future, so I am very willing to unite with Mr. Huang and other revolutionaries to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore our motherland of China.

    "Brother Keqiang naturally didn't believe it. He only made excuses with the visitor and replied: 'Master Yuan can have this kind of thinking, which is sincerely approved by the revolutionaries. But we revolutionaries have a specific idea, that is, after overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty,  Implement a democratic republic, not a constitutional monarchy. Please convey this intention to Mr. Yuan. If Mr. Yuan can reach an agreement with us on this point, even if we do not unite, we will be revolutionary comrades.'

    "More than ten days ago, Brother Keqiang arrived in Wuhan and took up his post as Commander-in-Chief. The man who had originally visited him appeared again and reiterated Yuan Weiting's willingness to join forces with our revolutionary party to jointly overthrow the Manchu government. From this point of view, what Yuan Weiting did  Either what you are doing is a big deal, or you are sincerely supporting the revolution!"

    Homer Li pondered: "No matter what, at least Yuan hopes to overthrow Manchu rule first, doesn't he?"

    Sun Yat-sen nodded: "You are right, that's why I listed him as the second suitable candidate for president. Now, although the revolutionary parties have raised righteousness in various provinces south of the Yangtze River, they are independent and do not belong to each other. If this continues, I am afraid that the Manchus will still be  Now, the governors of various provinces have turned against each other, and democracy has not yet been established, but tens of millions of compatriots have been killed in the war. As you just said, Yuan Weiting has the most powerful military strength in China, is the most influential real power figure, and has a pivotal position. As long as  He can overthrow the Manchu rule and establish a democratic, prosperous and powerful New China, so why not let him be the president?"

    Homer Lee couldn't help but admired: "Sun, your courage and ambition are unmatched! Then who do you think is the third suitable candidate?"

    Sun Yat-sen said with a smile: "Even if you have never met this third person, you should have heard his name countless times. To use our Chinese words to describe it, his name is like thunder ringing in the ears, making people unforgettable for life."  "

    "Who is he?" Homer Lee sat upright on the sofa.

    "Sun Baixi is what you call Dr. Johnson."

    "Ah, it's him! To be honest, I have heard this name countless times." Homer Lee immediately asked with some confusion, "As far as I know, he is just a very famous scientist, how can he be the president?  ?¡±

    "As far as I know, Franklin is also a very famous scientist. Why didn't he become the president of the United States?" Sun Yat-sen retorted, "And Sun Baixi is not just a scientist, but also one of the best educators and industrialists in the country. He is also politically active.  He has great influence and has served successively as the Minister of Education of Hubei Province, Deputy Minister of Education, General Minister, and Cabinet Minister of the Qing government. Now, in addition to serving as Cabinet Minister, he is also the highest military and political officer of Sichuan Province. Two of his students uprising in Shaanxi and Shanxi at the same time, and  Serving as military governor of two provinces respectively made him one of China's top politicians."

    Homer Lee was a little surprised: "What about his political views?"

    ¡°Your question hits the nail on the head.sp; The farthest north is Zhang Shaozeng's 20th Town and Lan Tianwei's Second Mixed Association, with a total of 16,000 people. They are waiting in Chengde and Zunhua, more than 100 kilometers north of the capital, and are eyeing the capital;

    The Imperial Guard and Jiang Guiti's Yijun were stationed in the Gyeonggi area, numbering no less than 30,000. They surrounded the capital tightly, like an iron barrel. Not to mention mice, even mosquitoes could not fly in;

    Further south is the Yan-Jin coalition army of Wu Luzhen and Cheng Ziyin, which also has more than 10,000 people. The vanguard has arrived at Baoding Prefecture, and its troops are pointing directly at the capital;

    Farther south in Shunde and Zhaozhou are Yuan Shikai¡¯s elite Beiyang troops, numbering nearly 20,000. Many troops are gradually retreating from the Wuhan front line and heading north along the Luhan Line.

    These four teams formed a strange balance, and no one dared to move first, not even Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army.  As soon as the Beiyang Army moves, the Yan-Jin coalition forces will immediately send their troops northward and attack the capital at all costs.  The Yan-Jin coalition forces and the Imperial Guards and the Yi Army in the capital took action, while the 20th Town and the Second Mixed Association in the far north would take the opportunity to go south to encircle them.  Even if they cannot capture the capital, the two armies united in one place will be enough to turn North China upside down. The Beiyang Army, the Imperial Guards, and the Yi Army may not be able to retain them if they join forces.

    Although they each stood still, everyone knew that this situation would not last long.  The number of Beiyang troops increased every day, and the imperial court secretly sent countless spies to instigate the counterrevolutionary generals. Wu Luzhen, Zhang Shaozeng, and Lan Tianwei also used telegrams to discuss plans to attack the capital at the same time It only takes one spark to turn Zhili into a corpse.  A huge battlefield across the wilderness.

    At this time, Cheng Ziyin received a telegram from Sun Yuanqi.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
