Chapter 100 "Tongmenghui" sword slaying dragon

In Japan, black dragons are everywhere.With their help, Huang Xing met Sun Yat-sen, whose name spread throughout the universe.The meeting was a pleasant one, and the two titans of the rebel world decided to join forces to form a stronger organization. On July 30, 1905, the Xingzhong Association and the Huaxing Association merged, and the "Tongmenghui" was established at the Tokyo headquarters of the Black Dragon Association. Prime Minister). The 22-year-old Wang Zhaoming was elected as the head of the evaluation department, in charge of the propaganda work, and his core task was to be in charge of the Minbao, the official newspaper of the Tongmenghui.

Therefore, "Min Bao" became the position where the League would promote its views.Sun Yat-sen made the first cry on this front. In his opening speech for "Min Bao", he put forward for the first time "nationalism, democracy, and people's livelihood". This is the "Three Principles of the People". It is very different from the letter written to Li Hongzhang ten years ago. "Min Pao" has great influence, and Wang Zhaoming's knowledge is also very high, and the writing style is also very good, and the style is also very interesting.Even the old beauty Cixi in the inner courtyard of Beijing's deep palace bought two copies when she was free, to see the demeanor of a handsome man, and at the end, she sighed with apricot eyes: handsome!so handsome!I don't know if Cixi has considered taking this beautiful man into the harem.

But Cixi didn't know that his name was Wang Zhaoming, because he used the pseudonym Jingwei, and we usually call him Wang Jingwei. This is how the great Tongmenghui was born, but why is it called the Tongmenghui?Its name itself makes it clear that it is a large revolutionary platter composed of many small revolutionary groups plus many revolutionary self-employed joint organizations. Since the founding of Tongmenghui, it has been divided into three major factions—Sun Yat-sen’s Guangdong faction (Xingzhonghui), Huang Xing’s Hunan faction (Huaxinghui), and Zhang Taiyan’s Zhejiang faction (Guangfuhui).

Everyone knows the first two, let's focus on this Zhang Taiyan.Whether in the academic world or in the rebellious world, his status is quite high, just like Zhou Botong in Jin Yong's novels: his skill is extremely high, his seniority is the highest, but he is crazy and dares to do anything.So he has two nicknames: "Crazy" and "Crazy Zhang". It stands to reason that once these small groups join the alliance, the small groups themselves should not continue to exist, but this is not what we Chinese do. We Chinese intellectuals like to engage in small circles. There are factions inside." also.

For example, someone who is a member of Xingzhonghui is also a member of Tongmenghui.As a result, many members will have the problem of "double loyalty". Once the dual loyalty conflicts, the party within the alliance will split.The great Tongmenghui was later torn apart because of this reason, but this was what happened later, the Tongmenghui is still the dragon-slaying sword to save Shenzhou for the time being! Afterwards, Sun Yat-sen successfully included many talents of the moment, such as Liao Zhongkai, Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang, Cai Yuanpei, Hu Hanmin, Li Liejun, Cheng Qian, Yan Xishan, Zhang Qun, Tang Jiyao, Lan Tianwei, Wu Luzhen, Chen Qimei , Chen Jiongming, Ma Junwu, Li Siguang, Chen Tianhua, Qiu Jin... Let's put it this way, as long as the famous figures of the Republic of China in later generations are basically members of the Tongmenghui, they will not be listed here.

However, Sun Yat-sen's talent package plan was rejected by Yang Du. It is said that Yang Du has been very popular among Chinese students studying in Japan due to his genius IQ, high-level EQ and outstanding constitutional research level in recent years. For example, Cai E often finds him for dinner.In short, Yang Du was very easy going, and he also became the chairman of the Student Association in Japan because of this. How can Mr. Sun let go of such a star of hope.Mr. Sun also thought that with the current prestige of him and the Tongmenghui, Yang Du would be sure.So he personally invited Yang Du to join him.

Faced with Mr. Sun's kindness, Yang Du not only failed to give Mr. Sun face, but also challenged his predecessors: I advocate a constitutional monarchy, and my affairs are done. I hope you can help me.You call for a national revolution, and if you succeed, I will completely abandon my claims and come to your aid.Work hard on state affairs, just today, hope not to hinder each other! Although you Yang Du is talented and learned, you must be too confident!How dare you go against Mr. Sun. But don't tell me, he's really not kidding, he's serious.He wants to have a match with Mr. Sun to see who is the final winner!Before Yang Du and Sun Yat-sen enter the ring, we have to care about another protagonist on the ring.
