Although the power of society has a strong influence on Chinese society, it is still in the gray forces that cannot really influence the political situation. In this era, people who can control China's political situation are usually those who hold military power. Yuan Shikai in the north and Zhao Bei in the south have this power. If the two work together, they can completely control the situation in the entire Central Plains. However, no matter whether they are on the side of the country, they do not have the power to dominate the fate of the entire China. Not to mention the great powers that are looking at Dandan, even the Qing throne officials are not Yi. Now that the Qing Dynasty is about to abdicate, the world is in chaos, no one can tell what the situation will be like in the future. Therefore, the military power in this hand must be firmly grasped.

Yuan Shikai was quickly expanding his Beiyang Army, and Zhao Bei was also trying to replenish weapons for his Republican army, rectify military discipline, and train officers. Sichuan Governor Zhao Erxun was even more powerful and strong men were burning, and at the same time urged the Chengdu Arsenal to rush to make guns and bullets, looking like sharpening his knives. As for the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Xiliang, he repeatedly knocked on the Governor of the Governor of the People's Republic of China, and distributed hundreds of letters of appointment like newspapers. The Green Forest leaders who were recruiting were either the leader or the leader. If there were more subordinates, it would be no difficulty to be a general officer. Even the southern revolutionaries who were shouting that the north and the south would have to deal with peace and slaughtered the army and collected various guns, cannons and ammunition from the world... The whole China has become a large barracks, and armed personnel in various costumes swayed across the market with various weapons.

The old people who have seen the world say that when the hair was growing, the world was like this. However, the slogan that was shouted at that time was "Destroy the Qing Demons", but the rebels now called "Republican". As for what "Republican" is, few people can clearly explain it. They only know that in the past, all kinds of associations that could only secretly recruit gang members jumped out openly, and openly erected flags on the street to recruit surrender and abdicate rebellion. The people rushed to surrender and accept rebellion. They just wanted to make a living without any other place. This situation was everywhere in the south, and only in the north, there was a little calmer. In addition, in Hubei, the commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, Zhao Bei, had issued a military order, strictly prohibiting anyone from public recruiting gang members, and violated the argument of "disturbing the market", and killed several local tyrants. The Hubei association party then restrained.

The poor are confused, while the gentry is determined. The Nian Rebellion was delayed for more than ten years. I don’t know how many wealthy families were destroyed and lost their families during the war and were wandering in a foreign land. The lessons of the past are learned from the past. Therefore, celebrities from all walks of life urged peace talks between the north and the south through various channels, hoping to end this chaos as soon as possible. No matter whether China is strong or weak, as long as the battle is not fought, it will be God to bless China.

Fortunately, due to the clear attitude of Zhao Bei, the commander-in-chief of the Hubei Republican Army, Yuan Shikai was no longer listed as the target of revolution by the anti-Qing forces in the south, but became a person they tried their best to win over. In addition, the constitutionalists were optimistic about Yuan Xiangcheng, who had presided over the new policy. Therefore, if everything goes well, as long as the Qing Dynasty abdicates, Yuan Shikai will have no doubts as the president of the Republic of China. Although the Tongmenghui and the Restoration Association have doubts about Yuan Shikai, they currently only control the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang, and are stuck by the great powers. The military government has extremely difficult finances and does not even pay military salaries. Therefore, their opposition is not very fierce, and they are also drowned in the saliva of the constitutionalists. In the eyes of the constitutionalists, the Tongmenghui and the Restoration Association are the biggest obstacles to peace. If they had changed their positions earlier, the constitutional monarchy would have been realized long ago.

Faced with an unfavorable situation, the Tongmenghui took out a killer weapon, took a telegram, and asked to conduct diplomatic efforts in Europe to meet Mr. Sun. In their opinion, Mr. Sun began to promote the revolution ten years ago and has now become the most famous leader among the revolutionaries. If he could return to China to lead the revolution, relying on Mr. Sun's prestige, he might be able to integrate a disarray of southern revolutionary forces that are both independent and independent, and change the current situation of strong north and weak south.

However, the Resurrection Association, the other main force of the Southern Revolution, disagreed with the Tongmenghui's action. Because the two organizations' proposals were different and there was also a dispute between the leaders. Therefore, since the North-South Armism, the rift between the Resurrection Association and the Tongmenghui has become more obvious, which puts the southern revolutionary forces at a disadvantage in negotiations with the North.

Perhaps only one person can change this situation of strong north and weak south. He is Zhao Bei, the commander-in-chief of the Republican Army. As long as he is willing to stand on the south side, Yuan Shikai will not be absolutely sure to use force to suppress the southern revolutionaries. But unfortunately, for some reason, this young commander-in-chief supported Yuan Shikai and ignored the advice of the revolutionary comrades and did his own thing. Could it be that as the legend says, this commander-in-chief Zhao is Yuan Shikai's long-lost son?

No matter what speculation people make, the fact is that the southern revolutionaries have temporarily given up on the efforts of the commander-in-chief Zhao and placed all their hopes on Mr. Sun, who is about to return to China. This is not only because no one has more prestige than him to compete with Yuan Shikai, but also because people say that this time he returned to China, Mr. Sun brought back a large amount of revolutionary funds. He made diplomatic efforts in Europe. On the one hand, he strived to maintain fair neutrality in the war, and on the other hand, he was also raising funds for the revolutionary forces. It is said that several major French bankers have met Mr. Sun. Perhaps, they have agreed to provide revolutionary funds to the revolutionary army?

France is no longer willing to use financial means to control the world than Britain, Russia, and France, so it is less difficult to seek loans from France. However, France is also a member of the Allies, and this is France's loan.

No one dares to guarantee the offer.

But hope is always better than hopeless. The revolutionaries in the south are looking forward to Mr. Sun’s return to China as soon as possible and use the legendary revolutionary funds to enrich the empty military government database.

Today is the day when Mr. Sun boarded the American mail ship to Shanghai. People gathered at the dock early, waved colorful flags and welcomed the revolutionary leaders to return home.

The mail ship had already reached the dock, but Mr. Sun had not shown up for a long time. Some people said that the concession authorities refused to let him return home. Some people said that Mr. Sun did not take the boat at all. Instead, he used a trick of "building a plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly". He had already commanded the uprising in China.

In fact, the real reason is that Mr. Sun is currently meeting several representatives of the southern revolutionary forces in a luxurious conference room on the mailing ship. Most of them are cadres from the Tongmenghui area. The land is Song Jiaoren, the General Secretary of the Tongmenghui area. In addition, Chen Qimei, Wang Zhaoming, Liu Yi, Ma Junwu, Xie Chi and others are also present.

Everyone first briefly introduced the revolutionary situation in the mainland and the progress of peace talks between the north and the south to Mr. Sun. Then they discussed the future revolutionary direction and the drafting of the constitution. Finally, they turned the topic to the depressing Republican Army.

"Dunchu, what is the origin of this Zhao Zhenhua? Are you really a cadre of the Restoration Association?" asked Mr. Sun.

Song Jiaoren pondered for a moment and said, "According to the news from the Restoration Association, Zhao Zhenhua is not a backbone of the Restoration Association. He actually joined the Restoration Association on the same day in Anqingyi. The introducer was Xiong Chengji. It is said that this man destroyed the city gate with a bomb. Otherwise, the uprising troops would not be able to enter the city. I am afraid that the revolution would not last until now. Moreover, this man issued a telegram to support Yuan Shikai as the commander of the Republic. It was his telegram that made the Qing court rise to Yuan Shikai. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid Yuan Shikai wouldn't be in a hurry to rebel. Zhao Zhenhua is a brave and resourceful person, but it's a pity that he was too naive in politics."

"What is 'too naive politically'? In my opinion, he is simply a warlord of speculative revolution! He was full of banditry. When he instigated a mutiny, the slogan he shouted was neither to expel the Tartars nor to restore the Han Dynasty, but to 'rob money, land and women'! Such people are simply bandits, pretending to be revolutionary, and are purely speculators. He supports Yuan Shikai, just to surrender to Yuan Shikai and be a slave in Yuan Shikai. I suggest that we should check his background carefully and see where he came from?"

Chen Qimei said hatefully that he had just returned from Wuhan and was full of anger. Zhao Bei did not eat oil and salt. Although he was delicious and delicious to entertain them, he refused to give up his position of supporting the presidential system, which was simply unreasonable.

The few of them went to Wuhan a few days ago, not only to discuss the organizational methods of the future Republican government with Zhao Bei, but also to pull Zhao Bei into the Tongmenghui. However, since Zhao Bei did not enter the oil and salt, everyone looked cold and naturally no longer mentioned joining the Tongmenghui. For this reason, Song Jiaoren severely criticized them, which made Chen Qimei even more depressed.

Originally, because of Zhao Bei's clear anti-British stance, the Tongmenghui did not want to get too close to him, but the problem is that the current terrain is developing, which forces the Tongmenghui to win over the powerful local faction.

Now the Republican Army under Zhao Bei's command is the most combative armed force among the revolutionary forces, and it also controls the Hanyang Arsenal. Its strength is enough to be arrogant in the world. If Zhao Bei can be pulled into the Tongmenghui, it will be equivalent to exerting the Tongmenghui power, and at the same time it can also weaken the influence of the Liberation Restoration Society, which will help quickly integrate the revolutionary forces in the southern region.

But Chen Qimei and others made their own arguments and gave up their win-win action because of their prejudice against Zhao Bei. This was simply treating military and national affairs as a joke, and it was not just the interests of the Tongmenghui.

In order to save the situation, Song Jiaoren had to write a letter written by himself, ask someone to take it to Wuhan, do work in person, and win over the commander-in-chief. However, no one knows about this, and he doesn't plan to talk about it now.

Seeing that Chen Qimei was still criticizing Zhao Bei, Song Jiaoren shook his head and retorted: "Ying Shi, you can't say that. Judging from your experiences in Hubei, Zhao Zhenhua is not a bandit, he is a revolution, and it is a revolution with a firm position! His rural transformation plan is refreshing. Our Tongmenghui just shouted "equal land rights", but he never thought about how to transform the thoughts of the people. Only Zhao Zhenhua thought of this. I admire him very much on this. Although his attitude towards the great powers was too radical, his revolutionary stance was still firm.

On the other hand, our revolution cannot be without faith. Since we had already issued a telegram and supported Yuan Shikai as the leader of the Republic, we could not break our promise. If Yuan Shikai had not moved in the north, the future of this revolution would be truly irreversible.

Although Zhao Zhenhua's telegram did not seek opinions from other revolutionaries, the revolutionary situation at that time was subtle and Anqing could no longer stand. Although Jiujiang defeated it, the Qing army was powerful. If there was no electricity, Yuan Shikai might be a loyal minister in the Qing court. However, when the electricity was sent, Yuan Shikai could only be a treacherous minister. Therefore, I think Zhao Zhenhua's "diggered electricity" was crucial. He saved the revolution at a critical moment and bought time for the further development of the revolution. In this regard, whether we are willing to admit it or not, the electricity was actually made on behalf of all revolutionary forces. It represents the credibility of the revolution, and we cannot destroy our promises."

"Dunchu, do you also support Yuan Shikai as the president?" Mr. Sun was a little surprised.
