Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Mao Zedong and Liu Shaoqi Tread the Waterwheel: You Must Have Two Legs at the Same Time
Chen Duxiu got angry several times like this: he pulled out an unfinished cigar, threw it on the ground, and rubbed it hard with the sole of his shoe for a while.The shredded tobacco fell apart, crawling on the floor like a group of tiny bugs; although Chen Duxiu didn't make a sound at that time.
Ma Lin pretended not to care about Chen Duxiu's anger, and continued to express his opinions.His voice remained firm and clear.
Chen Duxiu must be persuaded, Ma Lin said to himself.
"Long live Sun Wen! The Northern Expedition was successful! After all, this is the unanimous voice of the whole of southern China! Workers, farmers, businessmen, and citizens shout this! You, the Communist Party of China, should hear this voice!"
Chen Duxiu wanted to explain something, but Ma Lin stopped him in time with gestures.Ma Lin continued to speak clearly in English: "Please listen to me first. What I want to emphasize is that Sun Yat-sen has great prestige, but his party organization is extremely lax, as you Chinese describe it, it is a mess Now, I would like to make a suggestion to you that the Chinese Communists should join the Chinese Kuomintang, and the Communists should go to the Kuomintang with great enthusiasm to carry out activities, to propagate, and to change the Kuomintang’s strategy.”
"What did you just say? Join?" Chen Duxiu couldn't believe his ears.
"I reiterate my suggestion that the Communists might as well join the Kuomintang"
"I can't believe that this sentence will come out of the mouth of a communist!" Chen Duxiu was angry, and resolutely interrupted the other party's words.Gao Junman coughed loudly on the stairs, but he ignored it. "Comrade Marin, you are a representative of the Communist International, and you are an old Communist. You should know that our Communist Party is fundamentally different from their bourgeois parties!"
"Maybe, I, Ma Lin, don't understand or know that there is such a difference? Comrade Chen, do you take me, Ma Lin, for a fool?"
"I didn't say that, you claimed it!" Chen Duxiu felt his hair stand on end, "Junman, why don't you turn on the light, it's getting dark now?"
"First," Marin tried to hold back his temper, "Comrade Chen, I don't think the Kuomintang only represents the interests of the bourgeoisie. I must draw your attention to the fact that the ties between Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang and the Chinese workers are very close." In Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Shantou alone, 12,000 sailors joined the Kuomintang! I believe that the Chinese Kuomintang is a multi-class alliance, not only representing the bourgeoisie, but it can even be said that the Chinese The Kuomintang is a revolutionary political party in China!"
Chen Duxiu spit out a mouthful of phlegm in time.When he closed the spittoon lid, he gestured with deadly weight.
Gao Junman shouted down the stairs: "Master, can you be a little lighter? They hired a lawyer to save your life!"
"Second," Marin said, "the Kuomintang is a big political party with great influence in all walks of life in China. As for the Chinese Communist Party, I repeat, so far, there are less than one hundred members."
Chen Duxiu took out a cigar and said loudly: "No, there are already more than one hundred people!"
Ma Lin looked directly at Chen Duxiu and said, "As the secretary, don't you see that such a weak party you lead is of little value to China's political life?"
Chen Duxiu was startled, then suddenly became furious, grabbed a teacup, and said sharply, "If it wasn't for the sake of saving my life, I wouldn't have thrown this teacup at your feet, and my surname is not Chen!"
Ma Lin was tit-for-tat: "I would like to repeat what I once said. In my opinion, the Communist Party of China was born too early! To be more precise, this kind of reluctant coupling is too early!"
Chen Duxiu raised the teacup high, for a long time, before it hit the ground, it hit his own foot heavily.
The sound of teacups breaking.A blunt fracture.
Gao Junman's panicked face appeared on the stairs again: "Master, what's wrong?"
She ran down the stairs and saw blood oozing from the white socks on Chen Duxiu's feet.
"Comrade Chen Duxiu, maybe, I have to ask you to forgive me." Marin also saw blood.
Chen Duxiu said: "No matter what ideas you put forward, we can discuss and even quarrel. However, you underestimate our Chinese party. This, no matter what, cannot be forgiven!"
"Does it hurt?" Gao Junman asked in a low voice, "Take off your socks and put some red medicine on it. Master, please, don't quarrel with this foreigner."
Ma Lin was silent for a while, and said softly: "I would like to formally apologize to you, the Secretary of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China, for what I just said."
"It's okay." Chen Duxiu said.He's only now feeling the pain in the back of his foot.
"Comrade Chen, does it hurt?"
"My foot has been injured three times in two years, and I'm used to it. Alright, Comrade Marin, come with me now."
Chen Duxiu didn't speak, and reached out to take off the fedora hat hanging behind the door, put it on Ma Lin's head, and took off a big scarf, covering the inexplicable Ma Lin so that only a pair of blue eyes were exposed.
"What's the matter, Comrade Chen?"
Chen Duxiu looked at his pocket watch, and his tone was clearly commanding: "Follow me!"
"Where are you going?"
"There are many strange things in China, I ask you to open your eyes!" Chen Duxiu limped slightly and opened the door.
"Don't you put on the red potion?" Gao Junman chased after him and asked, "Where are you going?"
A rickshaw pulled through three or four intersections and took Chen Duxiu and Ma Lin to the Shanghai Commercial Press.
Ma Lin, who was covered tightly, was led by Chen Duxiu, and in the darkness, he bent one after the other into the gate of the Commercial Press.The concierge came out and said, "Hey, it's Mr. Chen!"
Chen Duxiu asked: "Has Mr. Zhang Ji come?"
"Coming! Coming! Up there."
All the staff have left work, and the building of the Commercial Press is very quiet.At the top of the stairs, there is a light shining through.Chen Duxiu led Ma Lin all the way upstairs, and after he went upstairs, he told him not to make a sound, and just quietly stood outside the window to watch.
Marin looked into the window through the glass, and a lamp hung high in the big room inside the window.Under the light, there is a portrait of Sun Yat-sen and a Kuomintang flag.Sun Yat-sen doesn't look like a painting, but from the shape of Fang Fang's face, it is estimated that this should be Sun Yat-sen.Marin saw two young men in long gowns stretch out their fingers one after another, dip them in red ink, and carefully stamp their fingerprints on a form.
He saw Zhang Ji again, Zhang Ji nodded his head solemnly, and said, "Yes."
The two young men took two steps back together, facing the portrait of Sun Yat-sen, bowed three times politely according to the password.Zhang Ji said, "Now take the oath."
The two youths immediately raised their fists and began to read the oath aloud.Obviously, this is an ongoing Kuomintang party oath ceremony.Ma Lin stared for a long time, then asked Chen Duxiu in a low voice, "What did they say?"
Chen Duxiu didn't answer, and took the puzzled Ma Lin downstairs, out of the Commercial Press, and all the way to the cold windy street.
"They are swearing allegiance to Sun Yat-sen!" Chen Duxiu said angrily. "They still have to make hand models! It's just a handprint! If you want to join the Kuomintang, you have to do this! Their oath to join the party is to praise Sun Yat-sen himself: My Prime Minister is wise, benevolent and brave, you know He also said: Obedience is the basis of responsibility, may I ask, is this joining a feudal gang or joining a revolutionary party?"
The streets at night are deserted, and the street lights are dimly lit.Withered leaves swirled around the feet of the two men, scratching the ground.Ma Lin looked at Chen Duxiu's angry face, and said for a while, "Of course it's not appropriate."
"According to your opinion, do we Communists, the pioneers of the proletarian revolution, all have to make hand models like this? Are we loyal to individuals?"
"But please note that the nature of the Chinese Nationalist Party is nationalistic after all. It opposes feudal warlords and foreign rule. It is fighting for democracy and a human life that citizens should enjoy!"
"Please save more good words for the Communist Party!"
"Calm down, Comrade Chen!"
"Don't press me!" Although Chen Duxiu gritted his teeth, he still tried his best to suppress the resentment in his heart, and spoke to Ma Lin in a voice that barely smoothed away the edges and corners. "Comrade Marin, I beg you not to suppress me. You save me, I thank you. You suppress me, I cannot obey you."
"It's okay not to obey me. But you must obey the truth. It is a major issue related to the Chinese communist movement. I will report it to the Communist International immediately."
"Please note that the Chinese Communist Party is not a branch of the Communist International."
"I would like to remind you once again that the Comintern has always shouldered the great responsibility of leading the revolutionary movement of the proletariat throughout the world."
"Not all comrades in the Comintern have the same temper as your Marin, at least Wigginski does not. I want to write to him! Hey, rickshaw!" Chen Duxiu shouted to stop a rickshaw. "Send this foreign gentleman to Dadong Hotel!"
Marin shouted: "Hey! Chen!"
Chen Duxiu turned around and left. After ten steps or so, he suddenly turned his face away, and instead of speaking to Ma Lin, he only shouted to the rickshaw driver, "I'll pay the money! Here it is!"
He knelt down, pressed a banknote under a curb, and got up to go.His feet don't look limp at all now.
Chen Duxiu wrote the letter that night, feeling annoyed, so the style of writing was heavy.The fountain pen rustled across the letter paper.Wikinsky had already served as the secretary of the Far East Secretariat of the Communist International, so Chen Duxiu had a feeling that he should and could stand up to stop Marin.
When Chen Duxiu was writing at the desk, Zhang Guotao kept walking up and down behind his chair.On this matter of principle, he agreed with Chen Duxiu.
Chen Duxiu put down his pen, a little uneasy: "Comrade Lenin shouldn't have such meaning as Marin's, right?"
"Absolutely not!" Zhang Guotao was categorical. "Comrade Lenin only asked me whether the Communist Party and the Kuomintang could cooperate? He was very concerned about the Chinese revolution. He interviewed me on his sickbed. He just asked about the possibility."
Three months ago, Zhang Guotao reported to Chen Duxiu in detail about the trip to Moscow after seeing Lenin return home.This time the Communist International held the "First Congress of Communist Parties and National Revolutionary Organizations in the Far East". Zhang Guotao became the head of the Chinese delegation, leading a mighty and mighty 38 members.Among the representatives were fourteen members of the Communist Party of China, including Qu Qiubai, Wang Jinmei, Deng Enming, Ren Bishi, Ke Qingshi, and Xiao Jinguang.Zhang Guotao made a speech at the meeting, his voice was sonorous and very eye-catching, so Lenin, who was ill, met him and Zhang Qiubai, a representative of the Kuomintang.Lenin first asked Zhang Qiubai whether the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could cooperate?Later, he asked Zhang Guotao the same question.Zhang Guotao's statement was also categorical. He said that in the Chinese national and democratic revolution, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should cooperate closely and can cooperate.He also said that some difficulties may arise in the process of cooperation between the two parties, but these difficulties are believed to be surmountable. The Chinese Communist Party has not long been established and is learning to carry out various tasks. It should strive to promote the unity of the anti-imperialist revolutionary forces.Zhang Guotao's words were so clear that Lenin didn't ask any more questions.Zhang Guotao later told Chen Duxiu that Lenin only expressed a principle that the two parties could cooperate, but he did not say that the Communists could all join the Kuomintang.Zhang Guotao said: "Of course it is possible for the two parties to cooperate in parallel, and it is necessary for the Chinese revolution. As for intra-party cooperation, the Communists all join Sun Dapao's Kuomintang. What's the point of doing that? What are we called the Communist Party!"
"Lenin did not say that all Communists should join the Kuomintang, right?" Chen Duxiu was still worried.
"Not really. I trust my ears."
"That's good. Guotao, you're right. The KMT has too many problems," Chen Duxiu shook his head, "Focus on the top, collude with bandits, opportunistic, easy to compromise, complex internal elements, open and secret fights, and so on. How could Marin throw so many good words to this party?"
"On major issues, why do I agree with Zhongfu?"
"Guo Tao, listen!" Chen Duxiu put down his pen, pushed his chair to stand, and read aloud the letter he had just prepared, "Ma Linjun suggested that both the Communist Party of China and the Socialist Youth League should join the Kuomintang, while Yu and others opposed it. : First, the purpose and foundation of the revolution of the Communist Party and the Kuomintang are different; second, the Kuomintang’s alliance with the United States, Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui and other policies are too incompatible with communism; third, the Kuomintang has never published a party program. Provinces other than Guangdong regard it as a political party fighting for power and profit. If the Communist Party joins the party, it will lose all faith in society and never have a chance to develop.”
"Okay! This one is foresight!" Zhang Guotao clapped his legs.
"Fourth," Mao Zedong in Hunan immediately conveyed to his comrades after receiving a copy of Chen Duxiu's letter.Now he sits on a low stool and reads the rules. "Chen Jiongming, a powerful faction in Guangdong, is called the Kuomintang, but he is actually very opposed to Sun Yat-sen's faction. If we join the Kuomintang, we will immediately be hostile to the Chen faction, and we will not be able to operate in Guangdong."
His wife, Yang Kaihui, offered tea.Mao Zedong took a sip of tea and looked around at everyone.Mao Zedong moved to Qingshuitang outside Xiaowumen in Changsha half a year ago. No. 22 Qingshuitang is a one-story house surrounded by walls, secluded and unobtrusive, and the rent charged by the landlord is not expensive.Mao Zedong fell in love with this place at first glance, so he established the Hunan Communist Party branch here, and party members often came to the rented place of Secretary Mao Zedong to discuss issues.
When He Shuheng heard Mao Zedong read his beliefs to this point, he expressed doubts: "Mr. Chen's statement seems to have overestimated Chen Jiongming's power?" Mao Zedong immediately said: "I agree with He Huzi. We are doing revolution. , It’s not a treat for dinner, it depends on the face of a certain general or generalissimo. Now I’ll read on. Fifth, the Sun Yat-sen Faction of the Kuomintang has never tolerated the opinions of new members and used authority. Oh, Zhongfu This article belittles Sun Yat-sen again!"
Several people laughed.It can be seen that both Mao Zedong and He Huzi disapproved of Chen Duxiu's anger.Later, when the meeting was about to break up, Mao Zedong said that the statement of our Hunan comrades should not violate the intention of the Central Committee. However, he planned to write a letter to Li Dazhao in the north, asking him to persuade Chen Zhongfu to think about it. It's absurd, but it may also be a move to save lives from desperation.Party members in Hunan say that this is good, and that everything will be perfect.
At this time, Li Dazhao was also sitting in the director's office of the Peking University Library, carefully reading Chen Duxiu's important letter, but he read it very calmly, and did not express Chen Duxiu's resentment in his voice: "Sixth, Guangdong Comrades from the districts of Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, and Wuchang have held a meeting to resolve the matter of joining the Kuomintang, and absolutely disapprove of it, and in fact there is no possibility of joining. If the Communist International discusses this matter, please, Mr. Chen, list the six items above Opinions appreciated."
Li Dazhao put down the copy of the letter, looked at Liu Renjing sitting at the front of the table, thought for a while, and said: "Comrades from all over the country, in fact, do not absolutely disapprove of it. Changsha Mao Runzhi wrote these nine words in the letter to me. Read it .”
Li Dazhao opened the drawer, and took out a piece of letter paper, on which were written nine brush characters: Poorness leads to change, change leads to success, and success leads to long-term success.
Liu Renjing was surprised: "Comrades in Hunan are looking for change!"
"That's right." Li Dazhao closed the drawer and stroked his beard. "No matter how the Chinese revolution reformed, it didn't necessarily mean that there was only one road in Huashan, although what Ma Lin said was a bit abrupt."
Liu Renjing disagreed with Li Dazhao's ambiguity, saying: "I think that the six points mentioned in Mr. Chen Duxiu's letter are all reasonable. From the perspective of the essence of political parties, our Communist Party and their Kuomintang are two boats, not one boat. Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Dazhao walked to the window.The early spring breeze from the north caused his black hair to flutter slightly.Liu Renjing said behind him: "Mr. Li, this is related to one of the most important strategic decisions of the Chinese Communist Party. I still see it this way. The Communist Party and the Kuomintang cannot cooperate! Personally, I agree with Mr. Chen's letter!"
The spring breeze blew Li Dazhao's hair into a mess.Whether a brand-new strategic plan for rapid self-growth is feasible must arouse painful and struggling thinking in the minds of young Chinese Communists.
"I really want to hear Mr. Li's opinion." Liu Renjing urged.
"Marin is coming to Beijing. I want to hear what he has to say, and then I will talk." Li Dazhao left the window.
"Mr. Li is always so steady." Liu Renjing was dissatisfied.Deng Zhongxia looked around, but said nothing.Deng Zhongxia thought that his level of Marxist theory was far inferior to that of "Liu Kesi".
Li Dazhao said: "Well, Ren Jing, you guessed wrong. My heart is the same as yours, just like this season, flowers fly in April, it's very chaotic!"
The meeting was inconclusive.
As soon as Ma Lin arrived in Beijing, Li Dazhao invited him to dinner.This time, Li Dazhao invited the guests at his home, and Zhao Renlan made mutton dumplings.
This Dutch man had a big appetite, and so did his accompanying guests Liu Renjing and Deng Zhongxia. A basin of steaming dumplings was quickly divided among several large bowls.
Marin wiped his mouth and continued to eat, talking about his Javanese experience while eating.The close bipartisan cooperation he spawned in Java has been an achievement he relishes.He said: "At that time, I was leading the East India Social Democratic Union in Java, that is, the organization of the Communist Party. We were not many, but we had combat effectiveness. In that place, another organization called the Java Islamic Union had a very broad mass base. , has great influence, is also anti-imperialist, and also opposes the reactionary government of the country.”
Deng Zhongxia stopped chewing, opened his eyes wide and said, "Obviously, Comrade Ma Lin compared this organization to the Chinese Kuomintang!"
"Why not? Although the Islamic League has a religious name, it has a strong class character and is a revolutionary group. However, its organizational form is very loose. Let me make an inaccurate analogy, it is like this bowl of dumplings Soup." Marin pointed to a large bowl in front of him, picked up the dumplings in another bowl, and threw them into the bowl of dumpling soup one by one.
Li Dazhao watched his movements with interest.
Marin said: "Look, comrades, you can throw in like this, throw in, throw in! One, two, three, four, five, please take a look again, is the strength of this bowl extremely high?" The earth was strengthened? That’s what I did at the time, and I insisted on doing it! At my insistence, members of the Social Democratic League joined the Islamic League in their own names.”
Through Liu Renjing's low-pitched translation, Li Dazhao fully understood Ma Lin's dumpling metaphor, so he asked, "What about the effect, Comrade Ma Lin?"
"The effect is very obvious, and the two sides have cooperated very well. The strength of one alliance has been greatly enhanced, and the other alliance has also been developed. I introduced this experience at the Second Congress of the Communist International!"
Deng Zhongxia said: "However, look, Comrade Ma Lin, the soup is all splashed on the table!"
Marin said: "Ah, this is the effect! The desktop represents the whole of China, you see, China is immediately affected!"
Li Dazhao laughed, leaning forward and backward.Liu Renjing also laughed, a bit forcedly.However, he thought that since this experience could be introduced at the Second Congress of the Communist International, there might be some reason for this experience.
Zhao Renlan took out a rag from under the table and wiped the soup on the table.
Deng Zhongxia said: "Ah, teacher's wife, you can't wipe it casually. It's a revolutionary effect. If you wipe it carelessly like this, you represent President Xu Shichang!"
After everyone laughed for a while, Li Dazhao said to Marin very sincerely: "I think that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cannot cooperate. In a feudal country deeply bullied by imperialism, the revolutionary movement of the proletariat should cooperate with the national liberation movement." Combined. I believe that you introduced this experience at the Second Congress of the Communist International, which was approved by the Communist International. Besides, in our China, Mr. Sun Yat-sen was the forerunner of the revolution against imperialism and feudalism. Among the Chinese people, It really has a lot of appeal.”
"That's right!" Ma Lin was greatly encouraged by the master's words, "I hope Comrade Li can do more work for Comrade Chen. As far as I know, Comrade Chen respects Comrade Li very much."
Li Dazhao shook his hand and said, "No, this should be reversed. Chen Duxiu is the secretary of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China. We all respect him and respect his opinions."
Marin felt a certain disappointment, the smile disappeared, he shrugged, and spread his hands again.
Li Dazhao said: "However, Comrade Ma Lin's metaphor about this bowl of dumplings is also very fresh to me. We are willing to study it. I think that the revolution's fists are not static, and everything can be tested."
Upon hearing this, Marin suddenly regained hope: "I agree with Comrade Li's opinion!"
Liu Renjing lowered her face and remained silent.His opinion of Marin has changed a bit now.Ma Lin, a Dutchman, has some unique sense of smell. In Shanghai last summer, if he hadn't jumped up like lightning and shouted, "It must be a bag to inquire! I suggest that the meeting be stopped immediately and everyone leave separately." He, Liu Renjing, would be uncertain. He is still sitting in prison, and even had his head taken by the Beiyang warlord.
Li Dazhao said at this time: "In short, the situation in China is different from that of Russia and Java, and the experience may not be copied. But I firmly believe that as long as the experience that is really beneficial to the Chinese revolution, the Chinese Communist Party will eventually learn and use it .”
Ma Lin sighed: "I admire Comrade Li very much!"
Li Dazhao said: "You must first admire the dumplings made by my wife and my son!"
Marin immediately lowered his head, and began to bite into the bowl of dumplings that had been "enriched with strength".
Chen Duxiu was in a bad mood for several days, Shi Zhiying knew it very well.She sat up from the bed, buttoned up her shirt one by one, and mobilized him to go to the theater.
She suggested, either go to Tianxian Tea Garden to watch a new drama, "Family Enmity" has been performing well in the past two days.Either go to the big theater at the entrance of the street to listen to a play. The gongs and drums are also very hot these days when "Water Floods the Golden Mountain".
"Listening to the opera will make you feel better." She said in a soft tone.
Chen Duxiu put on his leather shoes and looked at Shi Zhiying.Now, the female doctor put on a purple floral cheongsam, showing off her figure even more.Chen Duxiu smiled, sighed and said, "I'm not in a bad mood either. People's moods should bloom like flowers. Why should it be bad? Since that foreigner must unite the two parties, Li Shouchang from Beijing also wrote a letter saying he was in favor. Mao Runzhi of the Communist International also said that he could give it a try, and Wikinsky of the Comintern also said that it was okay, so why should I be stubborn? Maybe they are all right! Alas, being the leader of the party, many things I can't help my previous temperament. I will go to Guangdong in three days. I can go to see Sun Yat-sen to show the sincerity of our party. Shake hands, unite, unite, but Sun Yat-sen is willing to unite with me Is he such a big party for such a small party! He is looking down on me, and I am looking up to him. This makes me very uncomfortable!"
Shi Zhiying pulled his hand: "Go to the theater, you are still in a bad mood."
Going out of the house, just across the street is the big theater.The play had already started when they entered the door, and the gongs and drums were blaring, causing eardrums to hurt.After Shi Zhiying sat down, she kept holding on to Chen Duxiu.When the stage began to "flood the golden mountain" and Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Fahai, Jiansi, boatmen, and various aquariums stirred up colorful flowers, she couldn't help talking again.
"Mr. Chen," she whispered in his ear, "see that skinny monk next to Monk Fahai? He's my ex-husband."
Chen Duxiu was taken aback: "Really?"
"When he abandoned me, he said a word. He said that you, a woman, will never find a good man in this life. I thought, why can't I find it. I just want you to stay with me today. Come here."
Chen Duxiu sighed and said, "He can't see us even when he's on stage."
On the stage, the White Snake and the Green Snake fought fiercely with Monk Fahai. It seemed that waves of water splashed down from the stage, and the gongs and drums beat more and more urgently.At this time, Shi Zhiying said: "But I, I have seen myself. I have seen the two of us. Mr. Chen, I am satisfied with you sitting next to me, and I am not afraid of anything."
Chen Duxiu stroked the opponent's hand over and over again.He knew that the woman's eyes were full of tears at this moment, although the light was not bright, he couldn't see her face clearly.
"I'm afraid of losing you." She said again amidst the sound of gongs and drums.
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Duxiu whispered, "You are a doctor, you treat me. I am also a doctor, and I treat the country. In terms of practicing medicine, you and I have the same ambition. In my opinion, we will not be separated."
"Mr. Chen, you must do things according to your fate. Don't be rigid in everything. If it is too rigid, it will break easily, just like our needles for injection."
Listening to this persuasive words, Chen Duxiu was suddenly moved in his heart.
After walking out of the theater, Chen Duxiu was still thinking about Shi Zhiying's words.He didn't ask her the name of the skinny monk next to Fa Hai, and he didn't ask her if the man was a serious actor or a cameo, he just felt sorry for the skinny monk who abandoned Shi Zhiying.This person has no eyes and no blessings, half of Fahai.
Chen Duxiu said to Shi Zhiying: "If women are made of water, I think Gao Junman is made of muddy water, and you are made of clean water. I feel better when I'm with you." Chen Duxiu said The words were very sincere, and Chen Duxiu himself thought so, and the woman was of course happy when she heard this, so she said, "Sir, can you spend more time with me? Can you not go to Guangzhou?"
"No," Chen Duxiu said sternly, "don't stop me. Men can't stop me, let alone women. I'm going to Guangzhou. I represent a party, and I must persuade Sun Yat-sen."
Shi Zhiying thought, all men are like this.She held him until dawn, listening to his snoring, she felt uncomfortable all the time.
Chen Duxiu guessed right, Sun Yat-sen did not buy his account.
Sun Yat-sen was full of vigor, dressed in military uniform, and took great strides all the way.He inspected the recruit training camp where there was a lot of noise today.The recruit camp is set up in Shaoguan, where dragons and tigers leap every day.
While walking, Sun Yat-sen said to Liao Zhongkai beside him: "What is the cooperation between the two parties outside the party? Is it too ignorant? What kind of party is our Kuomintang? What kind of party is their Communist Party?"
"Sir, since you're here, why don't you talk to me?" Liao Zhongkai suggested softly.
"Don't talk, don't talk. If you want to talk, after the Northern Expeditionary Army captures Wuhan and breaks through Beijing, we will talk in the Summer Palace!"
Sun Yat-sen said these words with great complacency.
"Sir, Zhong Kai has always been worried about whether the Northern Expedition can be carried out smoothly."
Sun Yat-sen was displeased, stopped, and said: "Zhong Kai, you must have confidence! Master Meng has something to say, you can get it if you ask for it! The success of the revolution lies first in faith!"
"Faith alone is useless!"
"What did you say?"
"If there's a fire in the backyard, sir, you won't be able to look ahead! According to my observation, there is Wei Yan in the Kuomintang!"
"Who is Wei Yan?"
"Sir knows."
"You mean Chen Jiongming?"
"He should be arrested immediately and charged with treason."
"You are killing me!"
"I'm protecting your life!"
"You are too radical! I still want to fight for him! He opposes the Northern Expedition, and I have withdrawn his commander-in-chief. But he is not against me! After all, I handed over 20 battalions to him personally, and asked him to establish the Cantonese Army Yes! Without me, there would be no Chen Jiongming!"
"Now it's the opposite. Without you, there is only Chen Jiongming!"
"Zhong Kai, you are talking nonsense!" Sun Yat-sen was furious.
Liao Zhongkai insisted: "Sir, I am not talking nonsense!"
Sun Yat-sen suppressed his anger and said: "Zhong Kai, you don't need to be suspicious, you don't need to be suspicious. You have to remember that Chen Jiongming was a member of the alliance in 1909 after all, and he has military exploits. I plan to ask him to handle the Guangdong and Guangxi as the chief of the army again. Affairs, commanding the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi, what do you think? I thought that with such an arrangement, there might be no trouble between me and him."
"Sir, I want to cry!"
"Brother Zhongkai, I advise you to use moderation. It is unwise to be overly suspicious and turn everything into a soldier!"
Liao Zhongkai couldn't say anything more, so he kept silent.
A military officer came to report, and his heel clicked: "Report to the President, the recruits are assembled, please give instructions to the President!"
Sun Yat-sen nodded, signaled the other party to back down, and said to Liao Zhongkai: "You go back to Guangzhou today and tell Chen Duxiu that our president is currently focused on the Northern Expedition, and we will discuss the big things later!"
Liao Zhongkai's heart sank.He really wanted to say something more, but Sun Yat-sen stopped him again: "Zhong Kai, now is the critical moment of the Chinese revolution. Everything should be focused on the Northern Expedition. You don't need to worry too much. I have already sent Sun Ke and Zhao Ming to Fengtian. I believe that Wu Peifu will definitely lose if Fengyue and Guangdong join forces and attack from the north and the south!"
In Fengtian in May, the leaves of the street trees have already turned green.Two representatives from the southern government walked through the long corridor and stepped onto the steps of Marshal Zhang Zuolin's mansion. "Stand at attention!" With a mighty command, the guards of honor raised their snow-white spears into two neat rows.
The short and fat one was Sun Ke, the son of Sun Yat-sen, who was thirty; Stabbed, looked at each other and smiled.
Under the stabbing, the two young men walked steadily, trying to maintain the demeanor and majesty of a messenger.Joining forces between Fengyue and Guangdong to attack Zhili is a grand strategy of combining vertical and horizontal. Both of them fully felt the weight of Su Qin and Zhang Yi on their shoulders, but they did not expect that in the mind of Zhang Zuolin, king of the Northeast, their own weight was not so important. Not to mention, the southern government is not a great bargaining chip.
Zhang Zuolin, who had just been dismissed by the Beijing government as a tour envoy to the three northeastern provinces, was busy smoking opium. When he was not addicted to cigarettes, he didn't seem to want to see visitors.The young master Zhang Xueliang was inconvenient to enter the house, so he stood respectfully in the corridor all the time.
On the cigarette couch, the smoke lamp is like a bean.The smoker was a woman in a purple cheongsam, gesticulating with dragons and phoenixes, and a sterling silver rod for making cigarettes kept shaking on the smoke lamp, and after a while she played ingenious tricks.
She handed the beaten opium puff to the forty-seven-year-old Northeast King who was reclining on the couch, and said in a charming voice, "Marshal, this puff has a good name, it's called Lion Rolling Ball."
So Zhang Zuolin took a deep breath, and two long smoke dragons rolled out of his nostrils. His deep eyes kept swimming with the smoke dragons.
He spoke up, and shouted towards the carved window: "Is it really Sun Dapao's real son who came here?"
Zhang Xueliang answered outside the window: "Yes, father."
"And one more?"
"It's the Wang Jingwei who bombed the Regent back then. They are already waiting in the hall."
Zhang Zuolin took another puff, divided the long smoke into several sections and exhaled slowly, and then said: "I think, I still won't see you, little six, you go see."
"Father!" Zhang Xueliang was embarrassed.
"Isn't it just asking for help? Give me money and a gun! Didn't we buy the Japanese armory in Vladivostok?"
"Yes, father."
"There are 20,000 rifles over there, just allocate a batch to Sun Yat-sen. The field guns produced by Fengtian Armory, Type 1 and Type 3 rifles, I will give you some if you want."
"How much, father?" Zhang Xueliang put his ear close to the window crack.
Zhang Zuolin took another puff of cigarette, blinked his small eyes, and said, "Give it with your mouth first."
The son was taken aback: "What?"
"Whether to give it or not depends on whether they live up to it or not! Those Cantonese people, there are not many people, and there are not many guns. They only sing high-profile Three People's Principles. I don’t want to throw Yinyang into the Pearl River for nothing. !"
Zhang Xueliang was really in trouble, and said: "Father! Isn't it?"
Once again, Zhang Zuolin felt that his son was really ignorant of strategy and was upset. He shouted at the window, "Six sons, just deal with it, or don't you understand? You tell them that this month, the Zhili has kicked me out of Beijing, Xu Shichang Damn, Zhang Zuolin was dismissed from all my positions. If I don’t join forces with Sun Dapao in the South, who else can I join? Tell them, after defeating Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, I, Zhang Zuolin, will definitely choose Sun Yat-sen as the official Chinese The President of the Republic of China, do you hear me? Ask him Sun Yat-sen to be the President, and I, Zhang Zuolin, will never break my word, can you please help me?"
Zhang Zuolin's calculation was correct. Zhang Xueliang understood his father's wisdom two months later. At that time, Sun Yat-sen had already been driven out of Guangzhou by Chen Jiongming. After wandering at sea for a long time, he finally fled back to Shanghai.What about the southern government, the southern government is paperless.
But at this moment, Chen Duxiu was troubled by not being able to meet the head of the southern government.He didn't advocate discussing alliance with Dapao Sun, who put on a big air, but he was forced by Marin and Wigginski's group, so he had no choice but now, as expected, he sat on the cold bench in the hot southern country , It takes a long time to sit.
The living room of the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China in Guangzhou is spacious and deserted, only the pendulum of a big chime clock is ticking.The Presidential Palace is located at the foot of Guanyin Mountain. The humid May wind blows in from the window. The fragrance of flowers is refreshing, but no matter how strong the fragrance of flowers is, it can't make Chen Duxiu feel good. Chen Gongbo suppressed his temper, sat in the large armchair, and waited patiently for his reply.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the guests raised their faces, and it was indeed Liao Zhongkai.Liao Zhongkai walked quickly and smiled apologetically. “大总统原在桂林设立了北伐军大本营，”廖仲恺说，“由于陈炯明将军的不合作，被迫班师。现在，又重在韶关设立了大本营。大总统已于四天之前亲赴韶关督师北伐，军情紧张，实在无暇与仲甫会商两党大事了，特托本人转告，抱歉之至！”
陈独秀重重地将茶杯一放，说：“我只是觉得可惜！”
张国焘冷笑一声，跷起二郎腿说：“其实，也不足惜！”
廖仲恺知道会有这么一种局面，这种局面叫人尴尬，拿冷屁股去贴人家热脸孔，人家会高兴么，孙先生的自负，实在有点过了，但这是廖仲恺无法改变的，于是廖仲恺硬着头皮解释说：“贵党的诚意，仲恺心里，是很明白的，只是，眼下军情紧迫”
陈公博打断对方说：“我以为，陈炯明将军一向拥护社会主义，不至于对孙大总统离心离德，现在被迫下野，政府方面是不是误解他了？”
廖仲恺对这种说法很不以为然，马上说：“陈炯明这个人究竟怎么样，大总统自是明察秋毫。”
陈独秀不想参与这种争论，起身说：“人家忙，我们就走吧。”
“仲甫！”廖仲恺急忙举手，陈独秀止了步，回脸看他。
廖仲恺很恳切地说：“本月一日，仲甫在第一次全国劳动大会上发表的演讲《劳动节的由来与意义》，讲得实在是好。四天前，仲甫在社会主义青年团第一次代表大会上的演讲，将马克思的学理阐发得十分精辟，我听说了，也是敬佩非常！”
这几句话说得还行，陈独秀道一声“谢谢”，但是口气依旧淡然。他继续偕张国焘、陈公博往外走。廖仲恺又追上几步：“仲甫！”
陈独秀再次回脸。
廖仲恺说：“仲甫，你不要怨孙先生。他呢，也有他的道理。现在两党差异太大，平行合作，恐怕条件尚不够。”
陈独秀毫无表情，也不答话，只是伸出手，与廖仲恺握一下，然后甩腿又走。
廖仲恺追出大门外，又说：“仲甫，贵党党员若是能加入国民党，孙先生当是万分欢迎的！”
陈独秀头也不回，而张国焘却大声回敬一句：“若是国民党员统统加入共产党，共产党也是万分欢迎的，不过，十个里要开除九个半！”
陈独秀一愣，斥责一句：“什么话，国焘？！”
张国焘说：“就这话！”
陈独秀说：“别瞎说！”
张国焘说：“太气人！”
廖仲恺怔怔地目送客人们的汽车开走，半晌，长叹了一声。确实，他很为孙先生惋惜，在他眼里，这些共产党人，都是中国极为难得的精英，孙中山要图伟业之功，哪能离了这些精英人物。陈炯明面皮上贴着社会主义将军之标签，五个月前还连续会见到南方考察的马林，长谈三次，表示坚决拥护俄式革命，而骨子里，绝对是个见利忘义的新军阀。对此人，廖仲恺心里是有数的，只是孙先生还蒙在鼓里，蒙成一幅“醉卧枪丛”之画，再三唤也唤不醒，叫人揪心。
整个一个月，廖仲恺心里都很难受。
陈独秀下决心会一会陈炯明，孙大炮不见，就见见“社会主义将军”吧。陈炯明不赞成北伐，主张“联省自治”，他在广州市建立了立法、行政、财政、审计机构，大力鼓吹基层自治、精兵简政，提倡与民休息，这种说法与做法，也不是一点道理没有。有一个时期，对陈炯明的做法，陈独秀还是很欣赏的，当然对陈炯明大力兴办公私学校、推广“免费义务教育”的举措，陈独秀更是赞不绝口，欣赏之极，所以当陈公博力主陈独秀秘密会见一次陈炯明时，陈独秀便同意了。陈公博激动地对陈独秀说，陈将军一再相邀你呢，你蹲京师警察厅大狱之时，陈炯明不是在福建漳州发表过营救通电么？你托病扔下广东教育委员会委员长的头衔擅回上海，爱才如命的陈省长不是好几次跌足大叹么？陈独秀说公博你这个人怎么这么啰唆？我不是已经答应去一趟了嘛，你安排吧，我们去一趟惠州，老实说，这一回去，也是做做陈将军的工作，让他继续保持社会主义将军本色，别跟孙大炮作对，大家共襄革命盛举吧。
陈公博一联系，陈炯明就表示欢迎，还不等陈炯明派出小汽车，陈公博就安排陈独秀上了一辆去惠州的军用大卡车，火急火燎地出发了。
卡车载着他们一路吼叫着前行，穿过一重又一重的铁丝网障碍物和露出枪管的沙袋掩体。这是一辆满载军粮的货卡，陈独秀和陈公博摇摇晃晃坐在驾驶室内，直接驶往惠州的陈炯明司令部。
陈独秀一路看着粤军的备战之势，心弦吃紧，他不无紧张地搡搡陈公博，说：“嗅到了吧，满鼻子的火药味？看起来，陈炯明真是要打。”
陈公博不相信，摇头说：“不会，顶多是一种防范举措。你不知道，他必得防范，孙先生对他也很狠。”
陈炯明是在遍挂作战地图的办公室里见客的，他见着来客表示万分高兴，说真是想念陈仲甫先生啊，随之便是一脸无辜模样。
“仲甫啊仲甫，我哪里想开仗呢？”仅保留陆军部长一职的陈炯明大叹苦经，“我一生追随孙总理投身国民革命，信奉自由民主科学，拥护社会主义，拳拳之心，天下谁人不知？这世上，唯有他人负我，我从不负他人。唯有他人革掉我各项职务，我从不对他人心怀愤恨。天地良心，我哪里想与大总统为敌呢？喝茶！喝茶！”
陈公博啜一口苦丁茶，说：“将军素有理想，光明磊落，战功卓著，拯粤人于水火，世人有目共睹，将军的联省自治主张，也不无道理，我是素来钦佩陈将军的！”
陈炯明一听，高兴了，嘴唇上两撇黑黑的胡须抖了起来，“公博先生乃提督之后，文武双通，我也素来钦佩公博先生。仲甫先生呢，我更是敬佩有加。去年，仲甫坚辞广东教育委员长，我再三挽留也没能挽留住。今日巧了，三人同姓，胆肝相映，你陈独秀，你陈公博，我陈炯明，三百年前统统是一家！来来来，今日以茶代酒，干一杯如何？”
陈独秀稳坐于椅，不思举杯。
“陈将军！”他说，“既然你拥护社会主义主张不变，干脆做一名中国共产党的党员如何？你要加入本党，这西南一片的党务工作就交给你了！”
陈炯明一听，黑胡子抖得更欢了，“仲甫先生这么看得起炯明，炯明真是感动之至！不过，炯明不认同马克思学说中的按需分配的原则，马克思的生产方式和分配原则，符合人类社会发展的自然法则吗？不，炯明以为，并不符合。所以我不符合一名共产党员的条件。还有，炯明对贵党目前做劳工运动也有不同看法。”
陈独秀心里不是很高兴，但也彬彬有礼地说：“请讲。”
陈炯明不客气地说：“仲甫先生对炯明多有忠告，现在炯明对贵党也有一句忠告，在现阶段，中国的劳工运动，只宜做劳工教育运动，最不好的做法是拿劳工做政治本钱，这是恶劣的风气，这种恶劣风气一旦开了头，往后就不可收拾！”
这话说得有点锋芒毕露，陈公博不由得担心起来，忙着看陈独秀脸色。陈独秀倒是神色未变，只稳稳地说：“陈将军说的，我都听在耳里了。我也对陈将军有一句忠告。”
陈炯明放下茶杯，大笑：“仲甫先生对我，也总是有忠告，有告且忠，炯明有哪一回不洗耳恭听呢？”
陈独秀于是说：“你与孙先生之间，主张各有不同，然纵有天大之事，也可以商议解决，不需拔刀相向。火并，实为世人所不齿。岂不闻悖德者昌，悖力者亡？”
"Of course, of course."
“中国一团漆黑，唯见南方光明。革命任重道远，自家人万万不能自相残杀，以免曹锟、吴佩孚之流坐收渔翁之利。”
陈炯明收了笑，微露不耐烦的神色，连说“对！对！对！”
“孙先生一向倚重陈将军，依靠将军之力他才得以重任大总统，这是我们都看见的。望陈将军一定与孙先生精诚团结，共图国民革命大业！”
“唉，”陈炯明叹息一声，“大总统一味鼓吹北伐，未免性急。我以为，敌我力量悬殊，当前，仍需以保境安民为要！ ”
“报告！”这时候，一位副官大步进门，“电报！”
陈炯明阅完电报，双眉一跳，道声失陪，便匆匆离了办公室。陈公博堆起笑，对陈独秀说，看起来，陈将军的态度还是真诚的，陈独秀却不答话，一直隔窗凝望司令部外面的紧张的备战情况。一刻钟之后，陈独秀越来越心神不宁，便推出门去。
他沿走廊走了几步，左察右看，发现每个房间都挂有作战地图，军事参谋人员则进进出出，一个个神情紧张。
陈独秀一把拉住身后的陈公博，低声说：“公博，你今天是鼻子塞住了？这么重的火药味，竟未闻出一丝一毫？陈炯明磨刀霍霍，居心叵测！听见磨刀声了没有？”
陈公博头摇得像拨浪鼓一样，说：“仲甫啊，即便要起冲突，也是孙中山欺人太甚，他老是北伐北伐，有这个实力嘛？不得民心嘛！起码是不得粤人之心嘛！要说陈将军是军阀，孙中山更是军阀，而且其军阀名头还特别响亮，孙大炮是也，是不是？而陈炯明这个定威将军，依我看，真的是信仰社会主义的，无非是主张联省自治和平统一中国，其实他的这个策略是有道理的，再说，他打仗也特别勇敢，两次大败广西军阀，在我们广东真是甚得民心！有人喊陈炯明万岁呢！”
“胡扯！”陈独秀突然剑眉扬起，“公博你胡说什么？孙先生为中国革命呕心沥血，何来军阀之说？我们共产党人一向尊重孙先生！”
陈公博听陈独秀说话这么冲，也不高兴了，头一扬，神态倔强地说：“我不认为陈炯明将军有什么过错！我虽为中共之一分子，但我坚持我的立场！”
“那你可以退党。”陈独秀回答得非常干脆，同时扬起手，拦住迎面走来的一位副官。“我想走了。现在就走。这位先生是陈将军最好的朋友，他不走，他愿意继续留下来做客。有车没有？”
副官回答：“门外有辆汽车，可以带陈先生出门。”
“很好。”陈独秀表情阴冷，“我有两句话，请你转禀陈将军。”
副官动作熟练地打开公文包，作记录状。
“第一句话：未能面辞，请陈将军多多包涵。第二句话，若不识时务，执意与孙中山火并，决计没有好下场！”
副官一时愣了，瞪眼看着陈独秀昂首走出司令部。
陈公博一直站着，没有送陈独秀，甚至楼也未出，这位党首如此倨傲，他是没有想到的。他从窗子里看见陈独秀钻进一辆小汽车的时候，咬牙切齿地嘟哝：你以为我陈公博就不敢退你这个小党？去年在上海开会，就吓得我半死，如今又来吓我？吓我陈某人，没门！
时隔一月，陈炯明在孙中山的北伐军攻下赣州之时，公然叛乱。两个月后，一贯为陈炯明辩护的陈公博也果然宣布退出了中国共产党，一点没有犹豫。
一九二二年六月十五日的广州之夜，注定是一个染黑历史版面的夜晚。这个夜晚在开始的时候跟往常一样，没见着什么异样，大总统府的越秀楼客厅依旧如昔的灯火通明。
在明亮的灯光下，宋庆龄与何香凝正在兴趣盎然地探讨一件男式上衣的款式。上衣是何香凝带来的，一件灰色半成品，半似马褂，半似西服。
“他说衣领最好有个褶子，这么翻过来。”宋庆龄转达丈夫的意思。
何香凝看来看去看不懂：“反领？这像什么？”
“我这位先生就这么固执！”
“那干脆像西服，硬领子，敞开！”
“不能敞开，他还非得扣紧，说门禁森严才是华夏气派！嗨，先生，是不是？”宋庆龄向写字间方向转过脸去，提高了音量。
写字间里传出孙中山的声音说：“是的，夫人。”
宋庆龄说：“你看！”
何香凝忍不住掩嘴笑。宋庆龄又说：“两个口袋也不够，他说要四个。”
“下面再添两个口袋？”何香凝更闹不懂了，“这像什么？先生做的究竟是衣服还是布褡子？”
“他说衣袋多了办事方便，文本书报随身可取。”
“毕竟是中华民国大总统，又不是驮书的骡子！”何香凝说，说毕，舌头一伸，自己也感到玩笑开过了头。
“香凝，就顺遂他的心吧。你手巧，弄个样子看看！”
孙中山搁了笔，走出写字间，步入客厅，说：“而且，四个口袋最好都加上软盖，这样，骡子驮的书报就不容易跌落出来。”
何香凝叫：“哎呀先生，我这张嘴太没遮拦！”
“才女嘛，总是出语惊人！”孙中山笑。
“先生才惊人啊，连衣服都要剪裁得那么奇怪，不中不西！”
孙中山正色说：“不中不西才是好，既打倒封建，又打倒列强！”
宋庆龄说：“达令，那你穿的就不叫衣裳，叫宣言喽！”
孙中山接着话头说：“对啊，就是一种宣言。见孙文之衣，便如见孙文之人！这种服装，若要命名，可称之，孙文装！或者，中山装！”
“中山装？这名号别致！”何香凝抿嘴笑，“日后，这种不中不西的中山装在全中国大流传，也说不定呢！先生，请坐下，容我再量一量领子！”
何香凝用软布尺仔细量一下孙中山的脖子和双肩，一边量着，一边小声对孙中山说：“先生，你别把仲恺的话放在心上。他是一时气话。”
孙中山说：“仲恺这人呀，用心良苦。过于良苦，又容易弄巧成拙。他不该老是往外推陈炯明。”
宋庆龄说：“其实，达令，廖先生的警告，也不是空穴来风。”
孙中山皱眉：“哎呀，你们呀，你们呀，陈炯明对我确有隔阂，有误会，我也给了他一些惩戒。可是，人家毕竟跟我出生入死二十余年，没有他反攻广州，也没有我大总统府的建立。即便他对我罢他的职有所不满，扬言要这么那么的，我也有所宽容，总之，我孙文不诛功臣！”
他站起来，又说：“归根结底，他不会负我，也不敢负我！”
他看何香凝，何香凝低头不语，顾自摆弄着软尺。
孙中山又说：“北伐军节节胜利，前天已拿下赣州。此时此刻，内部之团结，最为紧要。不利团结之言，大家要再三缄口。”
何香凝收起衣服说：“先生，我告辞。你的话，我都听明白了。中山装，我再回去试试。”
宋庆龄一直将何香凝送上小汽车。孙中山在满城谣传尘嚣甚上之时，还如此地评价陈炯明，宋庆龄听着也觉得不对劲。
何香凝进了汽车，又弯腰出来，说：“孙夫人，惠州情况异常，我真的很担心。仲恺昨日应陈炯明之邀去惠州，至今一无消息，我心里七上八下的。”
“这几天，我也有点提心吊胆。不过，孙先生的脾气，你也是知道的。”
“不是我说孙先生，孙先生太相信陈炯明了！”
宋庆龄看看满天星光，叹息一声说：“脑后长没长反骨，有时候，眼睛还真看不出来。那个陈炯明将军，反对北伐是真的，但要他公然背叛孙先生，可能还不至于呢？”
“孙夫人，你们自己千万小心，总统府卫队一共才五十几个人，我看今天晚上就不要睡觉了，不是我怕，是广州天气阴阳脸，实在拿不准。”
何香凝见孙夫人点了头，才钻入汽车。
汽车离开观音山，还没转上两个弯，便在一个路口被挡住了。一大群荷枪实弹的士兵阴沉沉站在路口，一声不吭，如黑暗中的一团凝固的蜂群。
何香凝心里一惊，急忙推出汽车。她想看个究竟。
“不准过去。”一个军官迎面举起手。
"why?"
“戒严了！”
坏了，何香凝头皮一炸，说：“谁叫你们戒严的？你们听谁的？总统府没有发布戒严令！”
“听谁的？还能听谁的？听陈总司令的！”
何香凝一听这话，迅速钻回汽车，命令司机：“快回总统府！快去报信！快！”
刚倒完车，车灯前便又出现了几个晃动的士兵。
“不准回头！”迎面摇动着好几双手。
何香凝把头伸出车窗：“既不准往前走，又不能往后退，你们到底要我们往哪走？”
“就让你们窝在这儿！”一个士兵冲轮胎就是一刺刀，轮胎砰地爆了，像枪响。
何香凝觉得自己打了一阵很大的寒战。她知道最可怕的兵变真的发生了，当然，她这时还不知道总统府即将遭受猛烈的炮轰，在惠州坐镇指挥的陈炯明早已指使他在广州的部下血淋淋地分工了：军长熊略为攻城指挥官，洪兆麟的二师攻击越秀楼的孙中山卫队，炮兵司令王惺庵负责向总统府开炮，孙先生已经陷入了巨大的危险之中。
何香凝使劲推出车门，跳下车，她觉得周身来了一股劲儿，竟至双手一按，爬上了车头，她要对士兵说话。
她挺直了身子。她现在已经是站在小汽车的顶棚上了。她屏足气力，在黑夜里冲黑压压的沉默的士兵们大喊：“粤军士兵兄弟们！你们是当兵的，当兵的当然听司令的，这没错！可是，如果陈总司令命令你们把枪口对准你们的父亲母亲，你们听不听呢？孙中山大总统毕生致力于打倒满清王朝，打倒帝国主义，打倒军阀统治，他就是你们的父亲母亲，你们能把枪口对准他吗？”
士兵们继续沉默，像没听见什么。
“你这婆娘瞎说什么？下来！”一个军官挥舞着手，走近汽车。他手上有手枪。
何香凝厉声喊：“士兵兄弟们，你们有谁是国民党员？”
士兵们说话了，嗡嗡嘤嘤一片：“我们都是国民党员。”
何香凝顿时火气冒顶：“你们都是国民党员，党员怎么能把枪口对准党的总理呢？你们入党的时候，不是都打了手模的吗？不是都表示效忠的吗？士兵兄弟们，你们要擦亮眼啊，千万不能用刺刀捅你们的父亲母亲啊！”
军官怒了，伸出手，狠狠一拨拉，何香凝的脚就歪了，接着整个儿人就摔下了汽车，乒乒乓乓一阵响。
摔在地上的何香凝痛得叫唤：“啊唷！啊唷！”
军官说：“把这婆娘塞回汽车去！”
士兵们七手八脚一阵忙。何香凝一边挣扎一边喊：“孙夫人啊，广州变天了啊！你快叫孙先生离开总统府啊！”
她嘶哑的尖喊声就像浓重的夜空在断裂。沉默的士兵们继续沉默。广州城在这个诡谲的夜晚，落满了黑色的碎片。
就在何香凝被塞进开不动的汽车三分钟之后，广州的夜空突然颤动起来，火龙一道道划过夜空，观音山方向传来震耳欲聋的爆炸声以及炮弹的尖啸声。
就在这一天的深夜，或者说，是在一九二二年六月十六日凌晨二时，蓄意谋反的“社会主义将军”终于发动了叛乱，陈炯明下令炮轰总统府，毫不犹豫地将广州置于血泊和火光之中，大吃一惊的孙中山开始还想坚守，吩咐警卫一营营长叶挺顶住
