Chapter 15 Chapter 1 Sun Yat-sen Holds a Defeat Summary Conference

Incidents such as "opposition to '21'" and "war to protect the country" were ups and downs here, and various forces were busy competing for disputes, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen was not idle there. After the failure of the "Second Revolution", Sun Yat-sen and his comrades went to Japan, and the comrades who stayed in China returned to the old self-employed mode that they were familiar with before. run. When Sun Yat-sen came to Japan, the first important thing he did was to hold a "Second Revolution" summary meeting. The theme of the summary meeting is not the usual "bad things turned into good things" in the officialdom: once there is a mistake in the work, the most important thing is to organize comrades to actively summarize, saying that everyone has learned a lot from this mistake, which is conducive to future work. He even took the opportunity to establish a model, saying that in this mistake, Comrade XX was clear-headed and took the lead to avoid greater losses.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen disdains the formalism of not digging deep into the root cause and not holding the relevant personnel accountable after such an accident. At the meeting, Sun Yat-sen made serious criticisms of Huang Xing, who had worked with him for many years.He said: "Keqiang, it's all up to you. You opposed the war immediately after the 'assassination of Song' happened, which delayed the opportunity of the war. After the war started, you said that I don't understand military affairs and prevented me from leading the army to Nanjing. As a result, the bandits Shallow. Later, you didn’t hold on to Nanjing, and if you left by yourself, the whole army would be left without a leader, and you would eventually fail!”

Huang Xing said guiltily: "Nanjing failed, my brother should be responsible, all evils come, and I am willing to accept it. As for the fact that I went to Nanjing to take command of my husband, I was afraid that my husband would be injured in the war and affect the future of the revolution, so I did that. .” Sun Yat-sen also felt that what he said was a bit harsh, so he tried to comfort Huang Xing, and finally comforted Huang Xing.Then Sun Yat-sen said: "The ideological confusion of the members of the Kuomintang, the fact that members of the Kuomintang are independent, the party is not united, and they do not listen to my words, so that my ideas cannot be implemented, are the main reasons for the failure of the 'second revolution'."

Many people don't like to hear these words, Huang Xing immediately stood up and spoke for everyone: "The reason for the failure of the 'Second Revolution' is that justice was temporarily destroyed by money and power. It is not a real failure. It is not at all that the party members you said did not listen. It’s a matter of order. What we should do now is to continue to defend the Kuomintang, rectify it, and strive to expand.” Huang Xing spoke sincerely, but Mr. Sun didn't listen. Sun Yat-sen is a very assertive person. Didn’t your KMT not listen to me?It doesn't matter, anyway, the Kuomintang has disbanded, so I will set up another organization. Whoever wants to join my organization has to print his fingerprints and swear allegiance to me, Sun Yat-sen.

Pressing fingerprints and still obeying individuals, why is this a bit like a gangster sneaking into a gang, is it a mistake? That's right! On September 27, 1913, Sun Yat-sen personally drew up the oath to join the party. The party was called the "Chinese Revolutionary Party", and the name was very impressive. Huang Xing saw it in his eyes and felt uncomfortable in his heart.He was also unwilling to make concessions and yield, so he parted ways with Sun Yat-sen and left for the United States.It can be regarded as avoiding the continued splitting of an organization that is not strong enough, it should be said that it is very considerate of the overall situation.

Seeing this, many people inevitably feel uneasy: how could the sages of the father of the country act so domineeringly?In fact, extraordinary times mean extraordinary means.Furthermore, no one is perfect, and Confucius also said, "There is nothing wrong with a great virtue, and there is nothing wrong with a small virtue." No matter what, Mr. Sun's revolutionary fighting spirit has not weakened because of repeated failures, and he will do it all over again!The most precious quality in Mr. Sun is his firm belief, his unyielding attitude, his resoluteness when necessary, and his willingness to resort to extraordinary means for lofty goals.

Starting a business is hard!Even if Mr. Sun is such a famous fighter, there are not many people who are willing to join the party with his fingerprints. Fortunately, there are a few hardcore confidants to support the scene. Chen Qimei resisted all opinions and was the first to join with her fingerprints. Huang Xing left, Song Jiaoren died, Wang Jingwei faded out, and Chen Qimei, who acted decisively and cruelly, finally became the second person.But he did not persist until the day of the victory of the revolution.Let me mention Chen Qimei's ending by the way. On May 18, 1916, Chen Qimei was assassinated in the French Concession in Shanghai.

The commander-in-chief of the assassination was Zhang Zongchang.This man was originally a grassroots, but with his shameless, ignorant and fearless personality, he successively tossed and tossed under the hands of Chen Qimei, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese, and became the most famous vulgar warlord in modern history. The mastermind behind this assassination was Mr. Yuan Shikai.He sent Zhang Zongchang to kill his former boss Chen Qimei with only one motive: revenge.Firstly, Yuan Shikai and Chen Qimei had become enemies because of the "assassination of Song Dynasty"; secondly, Chen Qimei assassinated Zheng Rucheng, the top naval and political leader in Shanghai sent by Yuan Shikai after the "Second Revolution".

After Chen Qimei was assassinated, because many people believed that Yuan Shikai ordered Zhang Zongchang to do it, and they were afraid of being charged with rebellious party, no one dared to identify the corpse for a while, only a thin and handsome young man rushed over and caressed the corpse. Crying, and transporting the body back to his home for burial. In addition to Chen Qimei who was the first to get her fingerprints, Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai, Zhu Zhixin, Deng Keng, and Xu Chongzhi joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party next. This relatively unfamiliar Liao Zhongkai needs to mention a few words.This person is a Hakka from Guangdong. He has lived in the United States for many years. He once studied in Japan to study economics.In addition, he has a good political sense and is a good politician. He will play a very important role in the future revolutionary process.

The latter three were among the few capable generals under Sun Yat-sen's command. However, Zhu Zhixin died a few years later, followed by Deng Keng who was also assassinated. Although Mr. Xu Chongzhi was very old and capable of leading troops, his intelligence was above average. , but he can't help himself when it comes to female sex, especially he has no resistance to opium, which makes Mr. Sun very helpless. Although Sun Yat-sen later enlisted the help of Zhang Jingjiang, a famous "revolutionary sage" at that time, he failed to completely improve the plight of lack of manpower.

However, this kind of situation provides great convenience for one person to rise to the top position, so let's solemnly invite this little man who first joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party at that time, and later a big man. He played an important role in the assassination of Tao Chengzhang, and the thin and handsome young man who collected Chen Qimei's body was also him.He later ruled China for more than 20 years, leading China through the Anti-Japanese War and World War II. His name is Chiang Kai-shek. The Jiang family is different from the Yuan family mentioned before. They have been farmers for hundreds of years, but they have never had a person who became an official or a politician (no one in the 300 years of the Shengqing Dynasty sought official status).It is estimated that either I have no money to study, or I have money but cannot read.Fortunately, reading is not the only way out, you can also choose to do business. The style of doing business in Zhejiang began in the Warring States Period, and it flourished in the late Qing Dynasty. Zhejiang merchants, especially the Ningbo Gang, also emerged from this.The Jiang family, located in Fenghua County, Ningbo, Zhejiang, is a member of the Ningbo Gang. The hero who prospered the Jiang family was called Jiang Siqian. Comrade Jiang Siqian is a very intelligent farmer. He resolutely abandoned farming and started a business. He saved his first pot of gold by doing small business. With the help of the following two ways to get rich, he finally made a fortune. The first way to get rich is to see the market. He opened an official salt store - Yutai Salt Shop, which is his main business.Throughout the dynasties, salt, as an extremely important resource, is a controlled product, and its development and management rights are all vested in the central government.In other words, the product of salt is monopolized by the state, and its situation is somewhat like that of oil to PetroChina and Sinopec. Comrade Jiang Siqian spent a lot of thought and made a lot of contacts before he got the government's franchise.After that, he used salt as a marketing force and opened up the local market. The second way to get rich is to cater to the needs of consumers. In addition to salt, he also sells popular products such as rice, noodles, oil, lime, and shochu. Its product range is comparable to today's small department store supermarkets.This business philosophy of being close to life and combining products with local characteristics has been widely recognized and supported by the local people. In addition, he has always insisted on operating with integrity, so the business in the local area is very prosperous, and the Jiang family has become a big local tyrant in the village. Later, Jiang Siqian let his second son Jiang Zhaocong take over, and he went to enjoy the red sunset. Jiang Zhaocong's son followed his father's career, but he only inherited his father's shrewdness, but failed to inherit his integrity. He can speak eloquently and is keen on public affairs in the village. At a young age, he won the name of "Piertou eel" (describing a person who is extremely slick and shrewd) in the local area, and is a famous "part-time lawyer" in the local area. It is said that Comrade Jiang Zhaocong has a good way of representing cases. He usually secretly persuades the plaintiff and the defendant to participate in the "bidding ranking" and gradually increases the agency fee. Be the winner in the lawsuit. Mr. Jiang Zhaocong can be regarded as a little capable. As a rich second generation who has not broken down, he has married several wives, but here we only focus on his third wife, Wang Caiyu. Wang Caiyu is proficient in women workers, has read some poems and books, and knows some sages' principles, but her luck is really bad. She lost her husband at a young age and became a widow at a young age.Under the criticism of the neighbors in the neighborhood, he had no choice but to hide in a temple to lead a practice.Later she married Jiang Zhaocong for the second time. In such a family environment, on October 31, 1887, a boy was born in Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang, 6 years older than his strong opponent Mao Zedong many years later. Mr. Jiang Siqian personally named his grandson Jiang Zhoutai, nicknamed Ruiyuan. Jiang Siqian is not only a good businessman, a good boss, but also a good grandfather.From giving Ruiyuan a name, eating and living to going to school, he gave Ruiyuan an extremely happy childhood with meticulous care. Jiang Zhaocong had a child late, but he certainly did not expect that the child born to his third wife would become an important figure in the course of Chinese history in the future. Jiang Zhoutai's childhood life before the age of 7 was extremely happy and carefree.But this life came to an abrupt end when he was 7 years old. At the age of 7, my grandfather died of illness. The following year, his father died. Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Zhoutai's half-brother, forcibly demanded the separation of the family.Wang Caiyu didn't want to dispute the property with him, so he gave all the assets of Yutai Salt Shop to Chiang Kai-shek, and he only needed a few old houses and some cultivated land. This series of changes caused the Jiang family to decline, and Wang Caiyu had to lead Jiang Zhoutai and her other three children to live a very difficult life on her own. Therefore, Wang Caiyu, who is looking forward to his son Jackie Chan, put all his efforts on Jiang Zhoutai.She took out all the money and relationships she could use to train him to study and study, and hoped that he would strive to become a talent and make his ancestors shine. But Jiang Zhoutai's performance made my mother very worried.Because he has too many personality weaknesses that my mother worries about. He is withdrawn, rebellious, irritable, self-willed, suspicious, and doesn't trust others easily. He is really a troublesome bear child. Of course, it can't be all his fault. It should be related to genetic defects and lack of family education (bringing up with a single parent). However, in the next few decades, Jiang Zhoutai, who made his mother a headache, not only did not end up in troubled times, but made a great career and left his name in history. And that's not surprising, since he also has some great qualities about him. Born in a businessman's family and growing up at the bottom of the society, Jiang Zhoutai developed a wildness and super-thick-skinned resilience that is not afraid of anything, dares to take risks, is brave and ruthless, and shows loyalty.It has both wildness and toughness, and it is really sturdy. On New Year's Eve when he was 4 years old, Jiang Zhoutai showed the world his adventurous spirit of daring to think and do.In order to verify a thought related to life science that suddenly popped up in his mind: how far is the distance from the throat to the stomach?Then decisively inserted a chopstick into the body from the throat.The experimental data came out, but it was a pity that I turned pale until I fell into a coma, and scared my family to death. In addition to having the wildness and tenacity necessary for success, there are several important things flowing in his blood: being competitive and not admitting defeat, which is an indispensable driving force on the road to success. Apart from this, Jiang Zhoutai's other talents are very average. Compared with those fierce men of the same period such as Cai E and Yan Xishan, his learning ability is very ordinary.Although he entered school at the age of 4 and married his daughter-in-law Mao Fumei at the age of 14, he was not admitted as a scholar by the age of 16. Fortunately, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to take the imperial examination.Just at that time, Yuan Shikai and others set off a climax of running new schools, and Jiang Zhoutai also joined the army of new schools.During the school, Jiang was dissatisfied with the school's curriculum arrangement and conservative teaching methods, and acted as a student representative to challenge the school many times.It is for this reason that he had to go to many schools in the process of studying, and he was an out-and-out thorn. The ever-changing environment has tempered Jiang Zhoutai's ability to survive and adapt. He knows how to reciprocate and likes to make friends. In the process, he met many classmates and friends who influenced his career process. These talents are the secret of his later success. Although he was studying new learning, English and arithmetic, Jiang Zhoutai did not reject the old learning while absorbing the new learning, and had a considerable foundation in Chinese studies and Chinese.To use the words in our middle school politics textbooks, it can be regarded as critically absorbing traditional Chinese culture. He often reads books such as "The Family Letter of Zeng Wenzheng", and admires the philosophy of life of Wang Yangming, the "first brother" of the Ming Dynasty, and Zeng Guofan, the "first brother" of the Qing Dynasty. "Jieyi" as his life creed. Jiang Zhoutai especially admired Zeng Guofan.There is always a book next to his bed - "Letter from Mr. Zeng Wenzheng's Family", which is his favorite.Someone asked him why he loved Zeng Guofan so much. He said: "Zeng Guofan succeeds himself and makes others succeed. He prospers and makes others prosper. Regardless of other things, this alone can be our teacher!" Zeng Guofan is a person who is strict in self-cultivation and introspection. He has the habit of writing a diary. This diary is called "Guo Gap Shadow", and he records his mistakes every day.So Jiang Zhoutai also imitated his idol, insisted on writing a diary every day, and reflected on himself in the diary. For example, Jiang Zhoutai is more lustful, and he is often tempted by girls, so he can't stand himself like this.Once, when he saw a girl, he was tempted again, and wrote in his diary that night: "I was tempted when I saw the color, and I made a big mistake once." Due to the deep influence of his idol Zeng Guofan, the 16-year-old Jiang Zhoutai changed his name to Jiang Zhiqing, perhaps to express his ambition to help the Qing Dynasty like Zeng Guofan did. Learning new things is of course beneficial, at least you can talk about some current affairs, such as the arrest of Mr. Sun in London, the Russo-Japanese War, and the establishment of the constitution in the late Qing Dynasty.Or say that people's thinking is the most active when they are teenagers. Jiang Zhiqing was thinking about new studies and listening to current affairs, so he came up with the idea of ​​going to Japan to study military affairs. In April 1906, Jiang Zhiqing boarded a ship bound for Japan full of hope. Jiang Zhiqing, who went abroad with a passion for studying abroad, encountered obstacles everywhere after arriving in Japan. He asked to go to a military academy, but no military academy was willing to take him in.Because Jiang Zhiqing didn't know that he had to be qualified to study in a military academy in Japan. At that time, unlike the Internet today, it was easy to use search engines to find the information you needed.At that time, no one told him that there was an agreement between the Qing government and the Japanese government that only the recommended students of the Army Department of the Qing government were eligible to study in Japanese military schools. This is easy to understand. At that time, Japan seemed to be the anti-Qing revolutionary base, so the Qing government had to strictly control the students studying in Japan, filter out those talents who were not hard-edged and politically unqualified for the court, and prevent them from joining the Sun Yat-sen's anti-Qing army.If Sun Yat-sen led a group of professionals who were among the world's top military academies to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, one would shudder to think about it. Jiang Zhiqing, a stunned young man who didn't prepare well, was at a loss and didn't know what to do, so he had to wander in the streets and alleys of Tokyo, wasting day after day aimlessly.After tossing around for a while, Jiang Zhiqing had no choice but to give up the military academy and choose a language school to learn Japanese. In the process, a chance made him meet Chen Qimei, who was nearly ten years older than him. Chen Qimei had already been tossing around in Japan for a while at that time, not only that, but he also had the experience of his own brother who successfully studied in Japan, so he was a genuine senior.So he pointed Jiang Zhiqing out of good intentions: You should go back to China to study in Baoding Military Academy first, so that the probability of being recommended to Japan is the greatest. Chen Qimei must have never imagined at that time that this humble little brother in front of her would actually take care of their Chen family for dozens of years in the near future. Under Chen Qimei's guidance, Jiang Zhiqing embarked on a military career. In 1906, he entered Baoding Military Academy's Accelerated Course and Artillery Section, and developed morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor in an all-round way. In the final exam at the end of the year, he won the qualification to be recommended to study in Japan. In 1907, he entered the preparatory school of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy - Zhenwu School. In 1908, he was recommended by Chen Qimei to join the China Tongmenghui.It seems that the imperial court sent him off in vain. In the winter of 1910, Chiang Kai-shek graduated from Zhenwu School and entered the 19th Field Artillery Regiment of the 13th Division of the Japanese Takata Army as a candidate for the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy for internship. In 1911, he was promoted to a senior soldier and returned to China to participate in the Revolution of 1911 at the end of autumn. Jiang Zhiqing has nearly four years of experience in studying in Japan, and he is proficient in Japanese, a small language. His major was artillery, which was popular at the time, and he looked very glamorous on the surface. But in fact, Jiang Zhiqing studied in Japan for four years, three of which were preparatory courses, and the remaining less than a year was spent as an intern. Even because of frequent leave (such as returning to China to participate in the revolution), his status as a candidate was not confirmed.In other words, he never attended the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. As for Jiang Zhiqing's internship experience in the Artillery Wing, it is really hard to look back. Due to the strict internal hierarchy of the Japanese army and the unsatisfactory internship location (the climate is cold), he has two jobs to do: one is to be a male nanny-washing clothes, mending clothes, and polishing leather boots for "bosses" big and small The second is to serve the army horses-washing, brushing and feeding the horses (the snow is more than ten feet deep, the horses are brushed in the morning, and the shoes are cleaned in the evening). It’s fine to just do dirty and tiring work. What’s more, if you are not careful, you will be beaten and scolded roughly by the officer, and you will even be hung up and starved.The scene was bleak. But Jiang Zhiqing gritted his teeth and endured: "Niang Xipi, one day, I will definitely learn real talents!" My heart is hot, but reality is cruel.Jiang Zhiqing had been a soldier in the regiment for ten months, doing odd jobs almost all the time, even a small thing like touching a cannon was an extravagant expectation for him. Although the oppression was heavy and life was miserable, Jiang Zhiqing was so resilient that he was not put down. He wanted to use his tenacious will to defeat the Japanese who bullied him. After being bullied countless times, Jiang Zhiqing grew up.He learned five secrets that can change destiny from the life and training content of the Japanese army: attention to detail, strict discipline, hard training of will, not afraid of sacrifice, and team supremacy. These five secrets gave him the qualities of an excellent general, which he later brought to the extreme in the Whampoa Military Academy. When Jiang Zhiqing first joined the Tongmenghui, he was only in charge of some unimportant things. He was a mediocre, doing odd jobs with his subordinates. He was only a small role, and he could be regarded as the most basic revolutionary cadre. After the Wuchang Uprising, he ushered in an opportunity.Chen Qimei arranged for him to join the Death Squad to participate in the battle to recover Hangzhou.After the victory in the battle, Jiang Zhiqing came to Chen Qimei to assist him in reorganizing the army, training recruits, and served as the commander of the fifth regiment of the Shanghai Army. In the next period of time, the lecherous Jiang Zhiqing went to Huajie and Liuxiang occasionally, and did three more serious things. First, he formed an alliance with two other Zhejiang natives—Chen Qimei, who is also a senior and brother, and classmate Huang Yu.Counting those who have sworn sworn brothers and those who will sworn sworn brothers in the future, Comrade Jiang Zhiqing has a total of about thirty sworn brothers in his life, the number is really amazing. There is no way, Jiang Zhiqing's main way of expressing his feelings is to swear that he will live and die together, and sworn brothers with each other.Because he takes "loyalty, filial piety, righteousness" as his life creed, he is very loyal and people-oriented.This point was later sublimated into the school motto "Dear and Sincere" by him at the Whampoa Military Academy. The second one is to kill the thorn in Tao Chengzhang for the eldest brother Chen Qimei, and then hide in Japan. The third thing is that he changed his name again. After all, he had opposed the Qing Dynasty for many years. How could Jiang Zhiqing use it again, so he changed it to Chiang Kai-shek. After completing these few things, just in time for the "Second Revolution", the big leaders and the small leaders all fled to Japan.During this period, the eldest brother Chen Qimei introduced the 27-year-old Chiang Kai-shek to Sun Yat-sen. Chiang Kai-shek has a good appearance, with a bit of chic temperament, and his eyes are big and beautiful, and his eyes are very penetrating.Later, gossip people put Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, Zhou Enlai and Zhang Xueliang together, collectively known as the "Four Beautiful Men of the Republic of China".In addition to being unrestrained, Chiang Kai-shek is courteous and courteous in his dealings with others, and his habits and prodigal feelings are usually only revealed in certain dark nights. This meeting was perfect, and Sun Yat-sen had a good impression of this heroic young man.When parting, Sun Yat-sen said: "You are a rare revolutionary talent, you will become the pillar of the revolution, the hero of the revolution..." All these things made Chiang Kai-shek unable to calm down for a long time.It can only be said that Mr. Sun's eloquence is so good that in an instant he has a little brother who can die for the revolution. However, Mr. Sun really did not forget him, and later assigned him a task to establish a revolutionary organization in the three eastern provinces. From then on, Chiang Kai-shek was officially remembered by Sun Yat-sen. Because of Sun Yat-sen's reliance on Chen Qimei, Sun Yat-sen began to value Chiang Kai-shek after Chen Qimei's death.Sun Yat-sen knew that he had studied military affairs in Japan and had followed Chen Qimei for many years. He was courageous and insightful, especially his behavior after Chen Qimei was assassinated, which made Sun Yat-sen feel that this person was affectionate and righteous. Just as he was getting closer to Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek gave himself the name Zhongzheng. This is a shrewd decision.Zhongzheng and Zhongshan are very close, which makes people feel that they have a close relationship.Moreover, Zhongzheng also means integrity, justice, and orthodoxy, giving people the impression that he is the heir of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. The topic switched to Chiang Kai-shek's party organization, the Chinese Revolutionary Party. After a year of hard work, the number of members of the Chinese Revolutionary Party has grown from a few to hundreds. Although the number is not large, they are all Sun Yat-sen's dead soldiers. The time was ripe for the official establishment of the party. On July 8, 1914, the Chinese Revolutionary Party held its inaugural meeting in Tokyo, and Sun Yat-sen was sworn in as prime minister. Sun Yat-sen had many positions in his life: interim president, extraordinary president, generalissimo, etc., but what he really fell in love with was the title of prime minister, so that people who knew him called him prime minister. By the end of 1915, the Chinese Revolutionary Party had 57 branches and nearly 10,000 party members, but only a small number of party members were in the country—such as the future Marshal Liu Bocheng, and most of the party members were abroad.Most of them are elites, knowledgeable, aggressive, idealistic, willing to dedicate themselves, and financially capable. All their efforts abroad are just to return to their homeland and become anti-government "chaos". If they are caught, their lives will be lost, but for the ideal of a prosperous country and a strong people, they have no complaints or regrets. But there is a big problem here: the Chinese Revolutionary Party has very little contact with ordinary people in the country, and their propositions are not known to ordinary people at all.However, without the support of the masses and the masses, Sun Yat-sen resolutely raised the banner of anti-Yuan and decided to launch an uprising to "overthrow Yuan" and rebuild the Republic of China. Knowing that you can't succeed, knowing that you will die, you still act generously.Generally speaking, this kind of behavior has many names, such as stupidity and overreaching.But there's a more apt name for this kind of behavior: doing it knowing it can't be done.This is what the Chinese nation can call the great soul. From June 1914 to December 1915, in one and a half years, the Chinese Revolutionary Party launched more than forty armed uprisings in Hunan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Shanghai and other places, with an average of more than two times a month. The casualties were huge, and the impact was not small, but none of them succeeded. Although all the uprisings failed, all of this clearly conveyed a signal: we are not fighting alone, the anti-Yuan banner of blue sky and white sun has not yet fallen, and the great leader of the democratic republic, Sun Yat-sen, is still fighting.This kind of subtle spiritual encouragement is indeed a source of confidence for anti-Yuan forces at home and abroad. During the more than a year when failure was the main tone, Chiang Kai-shek showed his military talent. Whether it was work concept, combat plan or execution details, he was basically recognized by Sun Yat-sen.Coupled with the fact that he was Chen Qimei's former subordinate, Sun Yat-sen naturally used his love for the house and Wu's feelings on this talented person: "Xiao Jiang, work hard, I am very optimistic about you!" Just when the revolutionary uprising was at a low ebb, Yuan Shikai, the smartest man, was confused for a while, and actually turned around to establish a constitutional monarchy, and then a vigorous "war to protect the country" broke out.However, at this time, Sun Yat-sen and other members of the Chinese Revolutionary Party were mostly abroad, so how to "overthrow Yuan" suddenly became a problem. Fortunately, Sun Yat-sen used his appeal to continue to speak out, which strongly supported the anti-Yuan Daye from the spiritual level. Of course, Sun Yat-sen is not the kind of person who just talks and does not act. For example, Li Liejun, Xu Chongzhi and others were sent back to the country by him to organize a large army to fight against Yuan. fever. It is said that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor only after more than 80 days of tossing around, and then he was completely finished.In the eyes of most people, this is a great thing, and the Republic of China will be republic again.But if this is the case, what should the Chinese Revolutionary Party, which takes anti-Yuan as its mission, do?Who else can the revolutionary party revolutionize? In July 1916, Sun Yat-sen announced that the Chinese Revolutionary Party would cease all party affairs. After that, Sun Yat-sen returned to Shanghai and at the same time moved the headquarters of the Revolutionary Party back from Japan. Sun Yat-sen made this choice at this moment, which illustrates a problem: the Chinese Revolutionary Party has indeed lost its way forward. If the heart has no place to rest, it will be wandering wherever it goes. Sun Yat-sen was lonely when he returned to Shanghai. The world is as noisy as ever, but it seems to have nothing to do with him.Over half a century old, he finally bid farewell to his wandering life temporarily. Without so many things that exhausted him, without so many people he loved and hated, he could finally enjoy a peaceful, ordinary life. During this period, only the young new wife accompanied him. To clarify the origin of the new lady, one has to start with the new lady's sister, Song Ailing. It was mentioned before that Soong Ailing was Sun Yat-sen's secretary, to be precise, an English secretary.Later, Song Ailing wanted to marry a woman, so she had to stop this job. The person Song Ailing was going to marry was Kong Xiangxi, Sun Yat-sen's important financial advisor.This person is from Shanxi, with a relatively noble background, and he is a descendant of Confucius. However, his family has suffered a lot when he was a child. During the Gengzi Incident, Kong Xiangxi created an opportunity to change his destiny—spontaneously helping the American church destroyed by the Boxer Rebellion to carry out aftermath work.The church appreciated his performance very much and funded him to study in the United States. Many years later, Kong Xiangxi received a master's degree in physics and chemistry from Yale University in the United States.This kind of education is still a scarce resource in the workplace in China a hundred years later, let alone back then? This person has a good academic ability and is also very good at doing business. Making money is always easy for him, although he later used this ability to use power for personal gain and embezzle public funds. Therefore, even though Kong Xiangxi was nine years older than Song Ailing and was a widower (his first wife Han Yumei had died of illness), so what's the matter?Kong Xiangxi's comprehensive conditions conquered the ambitious, independent and domineering Song Ailing. So, before marrying Kong Xiangxi, that is, in September 1914, Song Ailing recommended her own sister to take over her job. Song Ailing's younger sister is Song Qingling. However, the love experience of any extraordinary character seems to be extraordinary and wonderful.Sun Yat-sen was naturally an unusual man, and Soong Ching Ling happened to be an extraordinary woman. Thus, an earth-shattering love story happened. During the working contact between Soong Ching Ling and Sun Yat-sen, Mr. Sun exuded the elegance and stability of a mature man, which matched the heroic feelings of Soong Ching Ling, a young girl who was in love, and the two people, who were 27 years apart, fell in love with each other. However, their love was not blessed by their families. Sun Yat-sen and Song Qingling's father, Song Yaoru, had been friends for more than 20 years, that is to say, Sun Yat-sen was Soong Ching Ling's uncle.Of course, the relationship between the two of them made Song Yaoru very angry. Soong Ching Ling's mother also persuaded her daughter: Sun Yat-sen already has a wife (Lu Muzhen). They have been married for more than 20 years, and their son Sun Ke is older than you. Now you are married and become a concubine. What's the matter? So, the parents put their daughter under house arrest and prevented her from seeing Sun Yat-sen again. Sun Yat-sen's life was not easy either. During the more than 20 years of Sun Yat-sen's marriage with his wife Lu Muzhen, he wandered around, revolted here today, revolutionized there tomorrow, wanted here today, and expelled there tomorrow. many.But Lu Muzhen followed him without any complaints, obeying women's morals, respecting her in-laws, raising children, everything she did was perfect. And Soong Ching Ling is a modern woman educated in the West, and it is impossible for her to accept the status of concubine.

But unfortunately, this marriage failed to get the blessing of Soong Ching Ling's parents after all. After Song Yaoru found out that his daughter had escaped, he took his wife and chased him all the way to Tokyo. First, he scolded Sun Yat-sen, and then asked Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling to dissolve their engagement on the grounds that their daughter was young and did not get the consent of their parents, but they refused. Song Yaoru, who was extremely angry, immediately announced the severance of friendship with Sun Yat-sen, and broke away from the father-daughter relationship with Soong Ching Ling.After that, Song Yaoru's health became worse and worse, and he passed away in less than three years.
