Chapter 57: Zhao'an
When the funeral was held in Moscow, Sun Wen, who was despised by Du Wen, was in Berlin at this time. It was not that he did not want to go to Russia, but that he could no longer walk here. According to the original history, he should have only met Washington and Lincoln in March of the following year. But now, his situation is completely inferior to history, and his anger and dissatisfaction in his heart is even more serious. When he heard that the domestic fiefdom bill was passed, he began to feel uncomfortable. When he heard that Cai Yuanpei committed suicide, democracy would be deliberately defiled as "killing the whole family". Sun Wen, who had been working hard for the Democratic Republic for 35 years, finally became ill.
The trip to Russia was barely rushed to Berlin and could no longer walk. The German doctor invited to treat liver cancer, and it was advanced, and he was helpless. The honest German doctor suggested that the Chinese should start preparing for funerals because the patient had less time.
Since Song Jiaoren's rebellion and Huang Xing was assassinated by Yang Jingcheng, the Chinese Revolutionary Party has been supported only by Sun Wen for years, and now the food and salary is close, and it is entirely supported by the Russian rubles. Originally, the Russians attached more importance to Du Wen, who was anarchic comrades. Now that Sun Wen suddenly passed away, the Chinese Revolutionary Party will surely split into the Guangdong clan of Hu Hanmin Liao Zhongkai and the national clan of Chen Qimei. Some party members who no longer have hope for their party may leave the party and join the Anarchic comrades, and Chen Qimei may even change his course.
The leader is critically ill and the party may not exist. These two major crises have made Hu Hanmin and Liao Zhongkai around Sun Wen unable to sleep well every day. They dare not inform Chen Qimei and others who are already in Moscow, for fear that he would start to have a different intention now. With Hu Hanmin's idea, it is best to summon Chen Qimei in the name of what he wants, and then kill Chen Qimei, and then accept the people below him, and then he is the prime minister. In this way, the Chinese Revolutionary Party may be able to survive; but Liao Zhongkai, who has always been mother, completely opposed it, believing that although this can maintain his party, once the harm to Chen Qimei is leaked, the party will still be divided. At the same time, Chen Qimei is very smart and may be easy to start in Chinatown. It is hard to say in Berlin.
The two were unsure of their opinions. By the time they finally decided, it was early spring in Germany. Chen Qimei didn't know if she had heard the news or became suspicious. After sending the telegram, she was not seen for nearly a month. However, Chen Qimei did not come, but an unexpected person came.
At the Peter Apartment on Kant Street, where Sun Wen's care center, several Mercedes-Benz cars suddenly stopped at the door of the apartment. The first person to get off the car were some German policemen dressed in a well-dressed manner, which scared the revolutionaries who were looking at the wind. Just as everyone was preparing to arrest firearms, the yellow flag bulletproof car with a yellow flag standing on the front of the car came down. A man in Chinese official uniforms might not know others, but Hu Hanmin could tell at a glance that it was Yang Jingcheng's loyal dog-legged Yang Du. This person is reportedly the chief representative of the Chinese faction to the League of International. He is stationed in Geneva, Switzerland most of the year. No wonder he was sent to him by the German police.
Yang Du was a country-created creationist, and after his founding, he barely won the lowest baron with the support of Yang Rui. The Revival Army went to Europe to participate in the war. He made great contributions to the abolition of the Old Testament of China, and made great contributions to the abolition of the Old Testament of China. He was famous internationally and domestically. When Hu Hanmin saw that Yang Du had just gotten off the car. He was wearing a bright red official robe, a black gauze hat on his head, and a square sword hanging on his waist, as if he was performing.
"Hold the guns away." Hu Hanmin saw Yang Du get out of the car, and his nervousness was half gone. If Yang Jingcheng forced the German government to arrest people, Yang Du could just sit in the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and wait, and there was no need to come in person.
When the bad guys collected from Chinatowns put away their guns, Yang Du's secretary had already come up. He took Yang Du's greetings and said politely: "We lord heard that Mr. Sun Wen was recuperating here. He remembered the old friendship he had talked about in Tokyo for three days and three nights. I came to visit him. Please..."
"You can't call Mr. Zhongshan's name! Get out of here!" Sun Wen's personal guard captain, Hu Yisheng, the largest general of the revolutionary party, saw that the visitor was disrespectful to the leader, and shouted loudly. He had thought about how to escape before, but now he knew that he was not here to capture him. He had to shout boldly before, but no matter how he heard the words, he was a little harsh and cowardly on his own.
"Yisheng..." Hu Hanmin, who had always been a sensible person, immediately stopped Hu Yisheng. Mr. Zhongshan was critically ill. However, Yang Xizi suddenly came to visit. He wanted to know what medicine he was selling in the gourd. "Please come in, but the humble house is so ugly that he is afraid that he can't compare to the Forbidden City."
A broken apartment is more than the Forbidden City. Even though the secretary is well-educated, he still glanced at Hu Hanmin, but he is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He smiled and went out to repay him.
Whether it was a humble and despicable house or not, Yang Du walked in openly. As usual, he did not shake hands with Hu Hanmin, but only bowed slightly and said, "I haven't seen you in the past twenty years, Zhantang is really old."
Yang Du was not polite, and Hu Hanmin didn't care. The revolutionary party only shook hands. Since Yang Du didn't shake hands, he wouldn't be polite. After Yang Du finished speaking, he smiled and said, "The nose of a fair boy is so smart than a dog. This place is remote enough that you can find it."
"Haha..." Yang Du didn't mind being scolded for being a dog, so he said straight to the point: "How is Yixian's condition? The last time I met him was in the capital in the first year of Shenwu."
"No need to worry about it, Mr. Zhongshan is just a small problem." Hu Hanmin immediately refused Yang Du's test.
"Haha, if you really are ill, you won't go to Russia in Berlin for a long time." Yang Du immediately exposed Hu Hanmin's lies, and he said, "I heard that Yixian was in serious condition these days, and Du had to come from Geneva urgently, so I was worried... I was worried that I would not see you again in the future. Brother Zhan, thinking about my old relationship with Yixian, you won't let me meet him, right?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Du knew Mr. Zhongshan's condition so clearly, Hu Hanmin's face gradually turned dark. He knew that there were Western Factory interviews within the Revolutionary Party for a long time, but after searching, he could never find out. Few people knew about Mr. Zhongshan's critical illness, but Yang Du knew so much. Hu Hanmin thought quickly, but he had no idea about it at all and finally had to let go of the matter. He said, "It is not advisable to see guests when he is sick, so please come back."
"I really don't want me to see you?" Yang Xizi smiled. He looked at Hu Hanmin, then at Liao Zhongkai and Sun Ke who had not spoken.
"If Xizi has something to tell me, I will tell you." Hu Hanmin insisted.
"It's really like this?" Yang Du smiled even more. Seeing Hu Hanmin's eyes wide open, he couldn't help but pick up tea and started drinking tea. According to the old-fashioned etiquette, drinking tea is the way to say goodbye after the serious talk. The revolutionary party only performed Western rituals, but Hu Hanmin could not know this rule. But just when he thought Yang Du would get up and say goodbye, Yang Du put down the teacup and shouted: "Sun Yixian, don't see your old friend Yang Du?! Sun Yixian, don't see your old friend Yang Du?! Sun Yixian. don't see your old friend Yang Du..."
Peter's apartment has only two floors, and it is made of brick and stone, and the floor is made of wooden. Yang Du suddenly shouted, and his voice penetrated the floor. Hu Hanmin couldn't stop him. For Yang Du's sake, he held back his anger and said, "The gentleman in the past actually had such a hooligan behavior today. Just save money, sir, won't see you..."
Shortly after Hu Hanmin finished speaking, a woman's voice came through the stairs: "Zhantang. Please come up with Mr. Xizi."
Hu Hanmin originally wanted to drive Yang Du away as soon as possible, but the voice was from Song Qinglin. He had to 'um' and reluctantly take Yang Du with him. However, seeing Yang Du following the secretary and the police behind him, he stopped him, and he said, "Sir, I only invited Xizi."
"Don't worry, Yixian and I are old friends." Yang Du was happy that his plan worked and knew that he was safe and worried, so he turned around and asked his secretary and others to retreat, and he followed Hu Hanmin to the second floor.
Sun Wen, who was slapped by the Fruit Party in later generations, was lying on the bed like an old dog. Just like Yang Rui who was sick a few months ago. The difference is that Yang Rui finally survived, but Sun Wen did not have too many days, and the liver part of his abdomen was completely swollen. He was awake and fell asleep every day. He was basically half asleep and half awake, and he was often awakened by nightmares. In this day, he dreamed that he was chased by Huang Xing as usual, but he heard someone shouting his name, "Sun Yixian, don't you see your old friend Yang Du?" He woke up immediately...
Following Hu Hanmin up the stairs, Yang Du could smell the increasingly strong Chinese medicine smell. It must be because Western medicine is ineffective and can only take Chinese medicine. Yang Du couldn't help but laugh in his heart. I remember Sun Wen hated everything about China back then, especially traditional Chinese medicine, and said, "I have been obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine in my life, but I didn't accept traditional Chinese medicine." I don't want to start drinking Chinese medicine now. He had to sigh again that these Westernized elements are just utilitarians, democracy and freedom are just stepping stones for their advancement. These people all hold foreign diplomas and speak Western dialects, praise everything about Western ethics, and embellish their mistakes; they swear that the West is the true civilization, the true progress, the direction and representative of human civilization, and what...
All of these things are nothing more than to start a new faction and use the West to enhance their identity and ability. Then they can gain benefits that ordinary means cannot get. In this way, the local buns who cannot see foreigners will be extremely respectful to them. But when those foreign things really cannot save their lives, they will quickly take off their suits and change to their jackets. Zhihuzhe also said that it is even more slim than the National Quotes Party.
Of course, not all Westernized elements are so humble. Some believe in Christ and act more like Westerners. They make wills like foreigners, die amid the chanting of pastors and priests, and then hold Western funerals and are buried in an unnoticed corner of the foreign cemetery. Yang Du is worthy of these people, after all, they have something to do and are calm in the face of life and death.
When Yang Du was despising Sun Wen for drinking Chinese medicine, the narrow aisle suddenly became cheerful. A portrait of William II was still hanging in an old German-style room. Sun Wen, the great revolutionary leader, was lying on the bed next to the window. He saw Yang Du and smiled, but he didn't think it looked even worse than crying in Yang Du. I thought that the person was about to die, and that was what he looked like.
It seemed to be symmetrical to Yang Du's bright red official robe. Sun Wen's quilt was gray-black, the windows in the room were not big, and half covered by curtains, so the room seemed old and dark. When Yang Du walked in, the light shone on his bright red official robe, and the room suddenly became much brighter. Sun Wen, who was lying down, saw that Yang Du did not shake hands and just bowed, couldn't help but smile and said, "Xizi, it seems that your master is really good to you!"
Sun Wenyu was sarcastic. As usual, Yang Du wanted to refute it, but for his lack of time, Yang Du smiled and said, "It is a natural prime minister and China is expected. What Du is worth doing is this loyal dog!"
In front of the revolutionary party that has always paid attention to personal personality and freedom and democracy, Yang Du was so humble that he admitted that he was a dog. Not to mention Hu Hanmin and Liao Zhongkai, even Song Qinglin, who was standing at the head of the bed, could not listen. Fortunately, Sun Wen waved his hand and asked them to leave, leaving only his eldest son Sun Ke to take care of him. Sun Wen knew that Yang Du was definitely not as simple as reminiscing about the past, but should have come with Yang Rui's intention, so he wanted to have a good chat with Yang Du.
After Song Qinglin closed the door, the conversation officially began. Sun Wen asked, "Is it Yang Jingcheng who asked you to come?"
"Yes." Yang Du nodded, "The Prime Minister said that Yixian's road has ended, so let me clean up."
"Clean up?" Sun Wen was a little angry, and said, "There is nothing to clean up here. Please come back."
"How could it be that you don't clean up?" Yang Du said, "There is a saying that trees are thousands of feet long and fallen leaves return to their roots. Are Yixian going to be buried in Germany?" Sun Wen was stunned when he said this. He was the second in Hong Xiuquan, who was second in the 1911 year, said that he would be buried in Nanjing after his death. But at that time, the British and French powers supported him. He believed that he was very likely to become the founding president, but now he is just a bandit. Yang Chengzhen agreed to him in the burial of Zijin Mountain?
Sun Wen's surprise was in his heart, and he said again: "Yixian would not be unaware that the Russians have always been cunning. And now they are more comrades than the Chinese Revolutionary Party. There are reports that the Russians will shoot you as soon as you arrive in Moscow, and then let the remaining people join the gay society. Yixian is over, but the funeral must be arranged. Master Sun, Mrs. Song and her children, they can't live so much in their lives, right? Yixian, it's okay not to think about many things, but they really think about them so much. Have you arranged all these?"
Yang Du said that Sun Wen was silent for a long time, buried, comrades, wife and children, these were hard to give up; but what was harder to give up was the unfinished revolutionary cause, but Chen Yingshi still didn't come until now. Even if he didn't come, Hu Hanmin became the prime minister. Those who are not from Guangdong were dissatisfied, and the revolutionary party had a very high possibility of splitting...
Thinking that the revolutionary cause is likely to be ruined, and when Yang Jingcheng, the dictator's plan, said to be helping to clean up the funeral, was actually a recruitment, and it was a recruitment that did not require any official position and only needed a burial place. Sun Wen's blood couldn't help but surge, which made his dry face even darker. He said decisively: "Please go back, please tell me Yang Jingcheng that dictatorships have never had a good end!"
Sun Wen's persistence was not unexpected to Yang Du. He said, "I must tell you, "Yixian entrusted me. But does Yixian really have to persist? How many people are there in your revolutionary party now? How many people can you leave after you leave? Not to mention Du Wen and others, you should know that Russia had asked for our country before, and there will be even more asking for our country later. At that time, as long as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says, the revolutionary party he sponsors today will send you gifts out of the country like Japan in the past. Yixian, China's national power is booming and the people live and work in peace and contentment. What else do you want to revolutionize?
The Prime Minister said that Yixian can be buried in Zijin Mountain, Nanjing after he goes. As long as the tomb is not violated, any tomb can be built. These people under your command do not have all the bloody cases. Those who have bloody cases and no victims can also be pardoned. Those who have bloody cases and no victims can also help plead with Dali Temple. Yixian himself will also restore his reputation and be regarded as the second pioneer of the Chinese revolution. This is already..."
The others were all fine, but the word "second pioneer" deeply hurt Sun Wen, which reminded him of Yang Quyun. Although Yang Quyun was also a pioneer of revolutionaries, he actually compromised with the Qing authorities and deserved to be killed.
"Yang Xizi, don't say good things to your master. If the country is booming, how can there be a coup?" Sun Wen retorted. "The revolutionary party is gradually weakening, but the ambition for democracy and freedom will never be forgotten. The dictator is finally despised by history. Liansheng, see off guests!"
His father's will was Sun Ke's action, and Yang Du was soon "gifted out of the country" by him, Hu Hanmin and others.
The revolutionary party is already in the evening. Once Sun Wen dies, these people will first be in turmoil and then the birds and beasts will scatter. This is Yang Du's point of view. He didn't expect that the Prime Minister would give him a step before Sun Wen dies. It can be said that he has given him enough face. However, Sun Wen is still stubborn and may even use this as an example of his noble character. Once this kind of thing that gives face to his door is over, Yang Du will leave Berlin without any love to Geneva, Switzerland, where is his stage to open and close.
Before the Palazzo de la Nations was built, the League of Nations still worked in Ariana Park. This 25-hectare park is located on the shore of Lake Lemon in northeastern Geneva. It has beautiful scenery. Standing at the height of the park, you can not only overlook Lake Lemon, but also see the highest Mont Blanc in Europe. Previously, the park was privately owned by the Levilio family, and the Levilio family gave it to the city of Geneva. After the establishment of the League of Nations, the City of Geneva gave it to the League of Nations as the construction land for the headquarters of the Alliance. However, it is a construction land. So far, the design of the main building has not been decided. After all, it represents the world's countries. How can it be designed in European style?
Because the US Congress opposed the United States' joining the League of Nations, the permanent members of the League of Nations are now Britain, France, Italy, China, Japan, and North Korea (two reserve divisions were also released during the European War in Korea), and China and the West were half-matched. Britain, France and Italy wanted to set up the League of Nations into the European Union to serve the interests of Europe; but China, Japan and North Korea hoped to set up the League of Nations into a real world alliance, and indeed serve the countries and people of the world. Every small thing would cause cultural conflicts. The architectural style of the main building of the League of Nations was one of them, and the office language was two of them. Others such as the flag, logo, and internal management of the League were even more contradictory. These things were tinkered with for nearly two years before they finally reached a certain degree of compromise.
As the official representative of Greater China and China is the leader of East Asia, Yang Du naturally attracted much attention. Before coming to Berlin, he was dealing with the "Fu Manchu" case. According to the late Director of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites, the "Fu Manchu" series of novels created by British novelist Lomore portrayed an ugly image of Chinese in the hearts of white people and gradually became deeply rooted in people's hearts. This extremely evil and omniscient character in the world just catered to the Westerners' fear and jealousy of the Revival Army and the rising China.
Although the Facts were taken, the Revival Army rewritten the war process before the US military went to the battlefield on a large scale and saved Europe, while the Chinese and Japanese merchant fleet helped Britain, France and Italy to resist Germany's unlimited submarine warfare, European newspapers only praised the US Expeditionary Force after the war, frequently mentioning that its huge number was the key to determining the outcome of the war, and almost forgot who took Verdun. Similarly, the actions of the Chinese and Japanese merchant fleet were deliberately forgotten by public opinion. Even when mentioned, the newspapers discussed more about how much money the merchant fleet earned, and completely forgot that wartime materials and military were maintained largely by merchant fleets.
The merits of the past are selectively forgotten, and facing more and more exquisite Chinese products, more and more European manufacturers are beginning to be wary of them. For example, the Chinese crystal socks that sell amazing ten shillings pairs, claiming to be "fineer than spider silk and harder than steel", have attracted every woman.
More and more people are complaining that money has been made by the Chinese. At the same time, more and more people believe that the reason why China can surpass Europe in certain products is because there is indeed "Dr. Fu Manchu" in China. It is just that this extremely cunning and evil person has changed his identity and is hiding in the Royal Academy of Sciences of China. He is inventing all kinds of strange things for China to conquer the world, and will soon launch a scientific revolution.
When thinking of the disgusting Fu Manchu, Yang Du, who drove to the headquarters of the League of International, was very unhappy. Although the League of International clearly stipulated that countries should not discriminate against each other, nor should they condone the people to slander other countries, the British representatives believed that this was the free creation of novelists and should be protected by law. Moreover, Dr. Fu Manchu is a mixed British-Chinese race, and it really discriminates, and it is not only directed at China.
Communication between representatives and representatives is invalid. If this is the case, it can only be handed over to the international court to make a decision. However, doing so is equivalent to making the matter public. No matter what the result of the ruling is, it will cause the West to feel disgusted against China and domestic protests against the West, which is something that China, Japan and North Korea do not want to see. Because this matter is not just Fu Manchu, but its essence is the Yellow Peril theory that was vigorously advocated by German Emperor William II. What Fu Manchu represents is actually the Yellow Peril that has learned and mastered Western science and technology and civilization.
The car drove into the lush Ariana Park and stopped in front of a building full of Suzhou garden charm. This was a self-built office in China, where Yang Du worked. However, before he entered the office, the secretary informed that an old friend had visited. He asked the person who came in detail, but it was Tang Hualong, the constitution-protecting party. Yang Du had to think to himself: Why did Tang Hualong come to find him? Do they also want to recruit peace? (To be continued.)
