    Sun Yuanqi frowned: "Why are they here again? They're gone!"

    Why is Sun Yuanqi so disgusted with them?  It's a long story that the child has no mother.  But if we really want to talk about the historical roots, we have to go back to the road protection movement a few months ago.

    Because the Qing government enforced the policy of state-owned railway trunk roads, it triggered a vigorous road protection movement in Sichuan. The irrational factors of the Sichuan people in the incident have been discussed previously and will not be repeated here.  However, the road protection movement was in full swing, which made the Sichuanese people excited and angry, and eventually led to the situation becoming uncontrollable. Three forces played a major role in adding fuel to the flames:

    The first force is the Sichuan gentry, which is the shareholder representative of Sichuan Railway.

    "This group of people are very rich when they come in, - nonsense, they can't participate in the construction of railways even if they don't have money!"  Without equity participation in the railway, does the government¡¯s state-owned railway policy have anything to do with them?  It doesn't matter, they are too lazy to confront the government!  Secondly, they still have power. The Sichuan Provincial Consultative Bureau established in September 1909 is the stage for their activities.  So when the Qing government was unwilling to compensate the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Corporation for a deficit of 3 million taels, they immediately took action and used various public opinions to criticize the state-owned railway policy and encourage ordinary people to rise up and resist.  As for themselves, they not only cherish their feathers, but also cherish their lives. They will only hide in dark corners to fan the wind, light will-o'-the-wisps, and occasionally do lip service to wave flags and cheers, but will never rush to the front line in person.  These gentry also had a better name in the political landscape of the late Qing Dynasty: constitutionalists.  In other words, they were the elites and public intellectuals of the early twentieth century.

    The second force is Sichuan Pao Ge, which is a private secret society with the mission of "anti-Qing and restoration of Ming".  Pao Ge is the common name of Ge Lao Hui in Sichuan, while Ge Lao Hui in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is called the "Red Gang".  The Ge Lao Hui is as famous as the Hongmen and Qinggang, and is one of the three famous gangs in modern Chinese history.  It's a gang in name, but to put it bluntly, it's an organized underworld.

    Of course, not all underworld organizations are guilty of heinous crimes. They play a certain positive role in maintaining social stability, fairness and justice.  For example, Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi. It is said that when a fight breaks out on the streets of Tokyo, the latest person to appear and mediate must be the Yamaguchi-gumi, and then the police.  However, this large-scale, organized underworld has always been a serious concern for the government, and it is no exception until now. It must be eliminated quickly, including the Yamaguchi-gumi mentioned above, which are also targets of the government's crackdown.  Therefore, one can imagine the tense relationship between Brother Pao and the government.

    The third force is the Revolutionary Party, mainly members of the Tongmenghui.  As early as 1906 to 1910, the revolutionaries had launched several uprisings in Sichuan, but with only a dozen people and seven or eight guns, none of them succeeded.  When Brother Pao established the Road-Basing Comrades Association with the instigation and support of the gentry, the revolutionaries found that this was a good opportunity to launch an uprising. Therefore, members of the Sichuan League sneaked back to Sichuan to contact the supporters of the New Army and Brother Pao.  , brewing an uprising.  The intervention of the Revolutionary Party caused the road protection movement to quickly transform from peaceful petitions to armed riots.

    Sun Yuanqi is a nationalist who has been successfully brainwashed by the new social education. At the same time, as an important member of the Qing government, he carefully read Sheng Xuanhuai's memorial and believed that if China wants to develop, it is necessary to comprehensively rectify railway transportation.  The policy is very supportive.  Naturally, they have no favorable impressions of the three forces in Sichuan that obstruct the state-owned railways for their own selfish interests.

    It was precisely because of the intensification of the road protection movement that Sun Yuanqi entered Sichuan.

    Sun Yuanqi led an elite group of the 44th Mixed Association into Sichuan, and fought and conquered from north to south, and finally succeeded in taking over Chengdu and taking charge of Sichuan.  During this process, the three forces showed some kindness to Sun Yuanqi and did not resist vigorously. Therefore, they thought they were kind to Sun Yuanqi and they all hoped to get a share of the new government.

    Since they knew each other, Sun Yuanqi didn't do anything for himself. After all, he did benefit a lot when he entered Sichuan, and the new government also needed the full support of various forces.  But after meeting them once, Sun Yuanqi was completely disappointed: Not to mention the cunningness of the Sichuan gentry, nor the passionate impulsiveness of the revolutionaries, just by looking at the strange dress of Sichuan Pao Ge, he knew that they were "incompetent and scheming"  ":

    Brother Pao's slogan was to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Seeing the success of the Wuchang Uprising and the rise of troops in various parts of Sichuan, he thought he had succeeded in regaining China, so he began to restore the Han Dynasty's clothes.  However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in control of China for more than 260 years, and everyone has long been accustomed to long robes and mandarin jackets. Who still remembers what the Han family's clothes looked like?  Brother Pao is an uneducated and unemployed vagrant, and he has no ability to pay attention to what people in the Ming Dynasty wore.  Fortunately, "those who attack the enemy are not far away." The ancient heroes on the Sichuan Opera stage and the various gods in the Bashu temples became their targets.  I saw the helmsmen of Pao Ge wearing swords on their waists, wearing floral boots, wearing hero knots on their heads, wearing hero cloaks and python robes, swaggering through the market.  In Sun Yuan??It seems that they are not here to discuss matters at all, but more like attending a masquerade ball held in the Governor's Mansion!

    Yang Du also shook his head after they left: "I read the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" before, and it said that the men of Emperor Gengshi 'all wear hats and women's clothes', and it also said that 'those who were awarded officials and titles were all small officials.  There may be some diners and cooks who often wear embroidered topcoats and brocade trousers, but they thought it was an untrue statement. Now it seems that history really does not bully me! Looking at the past and the present, since Emperor Gengshi was finally defeated and died  , then it¡¯s hard for these robe brothers to achieve great things!¡±

    Zhang Shizhao, Yang Yongtai and others also nodded in unison, as if they felt sorry for me.

    "But these people didn't know themselves. When they saw that they didn't get what they wanted, they came to the Governor's Mansion from time to time.  It happened that Sun Yuanqi encountered the imperial guards besieging Jingshi University at this time, so how could he have time to pay attention to them?  He directly told the guard: Whenever they come to visit, always politely decline.  Unexpectedly, they persevered, and even though they were rejected countless times, they still did not change their original intention.  No, when I heard that Jingshi University was coming out of the siege, I came to visit in a hurry.

    The guard was about to exit the study after listening to Sun Yuanqi's instructions. Yang Du hurriedly stopped him and said: "Wait a minute!" Then he said to Sun Yuanqi: "Baixi, these people are the most prominent figures in Sichuan. It's okay to politely refuse them once or twice. It's better to avoid them all the time.  , they must be resentful. We now have strong troops, but they may hold back. Once we send troops into Tibet and Sichuan is empty, they are likely to collude with foreign enemies and wait for opportunities to cause chaos. Therefore, we must solve these problems as soon as possible and cannot leave them hanging for a long time.  Rather than deciding.¡±

    Sun Yuanqi rolled his eyes: "Xizi, do you think this is a strategy that must first be settled at home in order to avoid foreign aggression?"

    When it comes to the strategy of pacifying the internal situation before resisting foreign forces, we subconsciously think that this is Comrade Chang Kaishen¡¯s exclusive invention. In fact, this sentence can be traced back to the earliest statement put forward by Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period at the Kuiqiu Alliance: "Respect the Zhou Dynasty and reject the Yi Di."  " has been regarded as a guideline for more than two thousand years. Chao Cuo of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhao Pu of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty all quoted it. Taizu of this dynasty also said something similar, which is the famous "clean the house before treating guests" theory.

    Chang Kaishen¡¯s strategy, which was criticized by later generations, was to first compromise with Japan and suppress the Communists with all his strength, and then neutralize Guangdong and resist foreign aggression. In fact, it was very insightful.  It is a pity that he did not start well and end well, and was forced by the situation to form the Anti-Japanese National United Front.  As a result, not long after the "rebellion against foreigners" was successful, he was also pushed to a small island outside by Comrade Kunlun.

    Yang Du smiled and said: "Yes, we must first calm down the internal situation when fighting outside. As the saying goes, 'a long itch is worse than a short-term pain', we must solve these worries as soon as possible. As for how to deal with it, after inviting them in, Baixi, just listen to me.  yes."

    Sun Yuanqi nodded and told the guard: "Go and invite the four guests in!"

    Yang Du stood up and said: "Bai Xi, let's go out and greet him too! Before giving him a slap, he has to give him a sweet date, right?"

    Sun Yuanqi led Yang Du and Zhang Shizhao out of the door. When he saw Pu Dianjun and his party from a distance, he raised his hands and said loudly: "President Pu, Chairman Luo, General Manager Yin, and Superintendent Zhang, the four great leaders are here. If you are not far away, please welcome me."  Forgive me!"

    Pu Dianjun and others hurriedly walked a few steps and were about to kneel down to see Sun Yuanqi. They were shocked when they saw Sun Yuanqi's newly shaved head.  Bow, or shake hands according to Western etiquette?"

    Sun Yuanqi smiled and took Pu Dianjun's hands: "President Pu, why are you so polite! You and I are similar in age, so we might as well treat each other as brothers, why should we be formal? Come on, come on, everyone, please come to the room!"

    After serving the tea, Sun Yuanqi took the initiative to accuse him and said: "Sun has some important matters to deal with a few days ago, so I can't help but be negligent to you all. Please forgive me. Today I will have tea instead of wine to pay homage to the four sages of Bashu.  No!"

    Pu Dianjun and others stood up quickly: "Don't dare to take it, don't take it! Pu and others don't know the priorities and come to visit again and again. They should apologize to you first. When my subordinates learned that the Qing court brazenly besieged Jingshi University regardless of the world's opinions, they were also filled with righteous indignation. They once  I shouted loudly in the newspaper and called on my colleagues in the provincial councils to call the regent and demand an immediate cessation of the war. Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, your Excellency suddenly sent a plane to threaten the palace, forcing the Qing government to retreat on its own initiative. It is really gratifying that Jingshi University is safe and sound! So I waited.  I¡¯m not presumptuous, but I came here to celebrate.¡±

    Sun Yuanqi said: "You are really thoughtful! Sun is very talented and has little knowledge. He has just come to your place. He will have to rely on all the local sages in the future. I hope you will give me some advice when the time comes!"

    Luo Lun said coldly: "Master Sun has profound knowledge and is famous at home and abroad. Especially for his writing of books and establishment of schools, he has made great contributions for thousands of years. It's just that he is in charge of Sichuan this time, directs the army and the people, and inspects officials and appoints officials. He doesn't know how to prepare.  What kind of benevolent government can we implement to benefit thousands of people in Bashu and Shu?"

    Luo Lun's words seemed to be a compliment, but he was mocking Sun Yuanqi openly and secretly for knowing only education and not political affairs.  Yang Du took the opportunity to take over the conversation: "My Lord, when we got off the bus, we were unfamiliar with the people and the land. As for how to govern, I just wanted to ask you for advice!" (To be continued.
