Chapter 43 42. Agreement of the Big Four of Sun, Huang, Yuan, and Li

The previous article mentioned Sun Yat-sen's entry into Beijing.It turned out that after Sun Yat-sen handed over the president on April 3, the first year of the Republic of China, he left Beijing for Shanghai without any official position, accompanied by Hu Hanmin, Wang Zhaoming, Liao Zhongkai, Li Xiaosheng, etc.In Shanghai, I met Song Jiashu, an old friend from 20 years ago. We had a great time together, so we stayed at Song Yu, talked about the past, and asked Song to guide Hu Hanmin and others to the suit shop to make more suits. Sun Yat-sen also said: "Do as much as possible, the more the better."

On the morning of April 9, Sun Yat-sen led Hu Hanmin and more than 20 people to Wuhan, where they met with Vice President Li Yuanhong and stayed in Wuhan for three days.Wuhan held a grand welcome party and invited Sun Yat-sen to give a speech on the principle of people's livelihood.It is said that Li Yuanhong didn't understand Sun Yat-sen's people's livelihood doctrine very well, and held opposing views.This was Li Yuanhong's first meeting with Sun Yat-sen. Li's performance gave a bad impression to the giants of the League, especially Hu Hanmin.Hu was arrogant, and when he talked about politics with Li, Li was confused, so Hu ignored Li.Since then, Li and the Tongmenghui have been further apart.

When Yuan Shikai heard that Sun Yat-sen had arrived in Wuhan, he was deeply afraid that Nanjing and Wuhan would merge to fight against Beijing, so he hurriedly sent Tang Zaili, Fan Yuanlian, Zhang Daxin and Wang Yitang to Wuhan with their own letters, inviting Sun Yat-sen to visit Beijing. On April 11, Sun Yat-sen met Fan Yuanlian and Zhang Daxin in Xingyuan, Hankou, and Fan and Zhang presented Yuan's personal letter face to face.Yuan letter is as follows: "Your Excellency, Mr. Zhongshan dear brother: the great cause is complete, the sky is flying high, the sky is strong, the cicadas are dusty, and the selfishness is indescribable. It is indescribable. I got the news from Shanghai and knew that the great man will go to central Hubei to talk about state affairs with Li Jun Song Qing , the two sages meet together, the sky is bright and the stars. Shi Kai is stuck in a quiet swallow, and he does not get to hear about politics. The Yiren Qiushui, lingering and lingering. This is to welcome the festival and show me Zhou Xing. Because of the previous telegram, I must return first. For a trip to Guangdong, the affairs of Guangdong are in disarray. It is not enough for Mr. Cai to turn the crisis into peace. How dare Shikai use one's selfishness to isolate the hope of Yun Ni, the father and elder in Guangdong. But after a few months, the affairs of Guangdong will be settled, please come Advice, to relieve the hunger. I hereby send Fan Junjingsheng and Zhang Junzhenwu to live in Shanghou, Hubei, and present a small shadow, just like Shi Kai bowing to accompany a feast, and having a grand talk in person. Lin Ying looks forward, without any delay, but for self-respect Unannounced."

The letter is in red eight-line regular script, with the five characters "Yuan Shikai Kowtow" signed at the end, without the moon and day. On April 12, Sun Yat-sen and his party left Hubei, returned to Shanghai on April 12, and took the Taishun ship to go south. Arrived in Fuzhou on the 25th, stayed in Fujian for only one day, and continued to take a ferry to Guangdong. Arrived in Hong Kong on the 24th, changed to the Baobi warship, and arrived in Guangzhou on the afternoon of the 25th.The empty alleys in Guangzhou welcome this great man from his hometown. Since Sun Yat-sen was exiled from Hong Kong for the first time, he has not set foot in Guangzhou for 17 years. Those who have not experienced it cannot appreciate it.

The acting governor of Guangdong Province was Chen Jiongming. He saw Sun Yat-sen returning to Guangdong with Hu Hanmin. It was over, and since Guangdong was full of Hu supporters, he couldn't fall in love with him, so he welcomed Sun Yat-sen and his party to Guangzhou, and after a public banquet that night, he went to Hong Kong with excuses, and invited Secretary of the Army Deng Keng (Zhong Yuan) ) invited Hu Hanmin to the governor's office, and Zhu Zhixin told Hu that Chen had gone to Hong Kong, and asked Hu Hanmin to be reinstated as the governor of Guangdong.Hu is a scholar. He thinks that Chen Jiongming has been given the position of governor, so how can he be Feng's wife again, so he insists on refusing to accept it.At this time, Sun Yat-sen was giving a speech at the Provincial Council. After the speech, he came to the Dudu Mansion, and everyone reported Chen Qu and Hu Lai to Sun Yat-sen.Sun Yat-sen agreed with Hu Hanmin's reinstatement, and came up with a radical law, expressing his willingness to be the secretary-general of the Dudufu.It was decided on the spot that Zhu Zhixin would go to Hong Kong to invite Chen Jiongming to Guangzhou. On the afternoon of April 27, the Guangdong Provincial Assembly voted to reinstate Hu Hanmin as governor of Guangdong Province.After Hu took office, he announced to the whole province:

"This governor is entrusted by the people. In order to maintain the place, he dare not tolerate Gou's peace, so as to cause future troubles. The bandit atmosphere in Guangdong Province is not calm, especially the military administration, so that all the interior will be wiped out, and continue the unfinished business of Chen's former governor. If Those who have evil intentions and intend to disturb the public security will be severely punished by the law and will never be lenient." Hu took the post of governor, chief of civil affairs and head of the Guangdong branch of the Tongmenghui, appointed Chen Jiongming as the military guard, Deng Keng as the director of the army, Liao Zhongkai as the director of finance, Luo Wengan as the director of justice, and Zhu Zhixin as the dean of accounting and the supervisor of the Guangyang Appeasement Department. , Zou Lu is the general office of the official bank money bureau.

After Sun Yat-sen returned to Guangdong, he lived in Guangzhou and sometimes went to Macau and Hong Kong. Sun Yat-sen's trip to Beijing had been in the works for many months, and the final date of departure was decided to go north on August 17th on the new name ship, and later changed to take the Anping merchant ship on August 18th.Just as he was preparing to leave, news came from Beijing that Yuan Shikai shot and killed Zhang Zhenwu and Fang Wei with secret military law on the 15th.The Shanghai side was shocked by this news. Comrades Cai Yuanpei, Wu Jingheng, and Xu Zonghan (Huang Xing's wife) all opposed Sun and Huang's going to Beijing, thinking that Yuan Shikai was untrustworthy and unjust.The party members in Beijing and Tianjin also called Yuan to dissuade them because of Yuan's cruelty to revolutionary comrades and harboring evil intentions.Sun Yat-sen advocated influencing Yuan with sincerity, and insisted that "in any case, Yuan should not break his promise", but agreed with Huang Xing to postpone his trip to the north and let him "go to the meeting alone".At this time, Huang Xing was suffering from throat disease, so Sun Xing Huang Zhi became a major decision at that time.

Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were the second only to Sun Yat-sen among the revolutionary leaders at that time. For Yuan Shikai, Yuan could not compare with Sun Yat-sen in terms of personality, revolutionary merits, and revolutionary ideology, so the real object of Yuan's hatred was not the revolution. The creator Sun Yat-sen, while the revolutionary executor Huang Xing and the party planner Song Jiaoren. Yuan had long wanted to facilitate a meeting of the four giants of the Republic of China, that is, to invite Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Li Yuanhong to Beijing together.The positive significance of this meeting of the four giants is to declare that China and the rest of the world have been unified; the negative significance is that Yuan's personal presidential status has been confirmed, so the relationship between the four giants needs to be strengthened to eliminate mutual prejudice.However, Yuan's goal was only half achieved. Because of the Zhang Zhenwu case, Li Yuanhong did not dare to come to Beijing, fearing that the Senate and public opinion would bombard him; he was afraid that Yuan or the League would take unfavorable measures against him, so Li would never come.Huang Xing was also held back by the Zhang Zhenwu case.However, Sun Yat-sen went north to meet Yuan, which was a major event after the founding of the Republic of China.

Sun Yat-sen moved people with integrity all his life, never cared about personal safety, and only wanted to influence Lao Yuan with his sincerity and kindness.He entered the tiger's den lightly, regardless of the danger, and wanted to persuade Yuan Shikai to cooperate sincerely with the Tongmenghui, get rid of the old forces in the north, and agreed to move the capital to Nanjing. Yuan Shikai couldn't help secretly admiring Sun Yat-sen's spirit of daring to go to the meeting alone. He tried his best to pretend to be a very warm welcome gesture, and sent a golden lacquered and red-wheeled double carriage decorated with yellow satin for the president to meet Sun Yat-sen outside the front door, and ordered Beijing's army to go to the meeting. Police, welcome with presidential courtesy.The citizens of Beijing all took the initiative to warmly welcome this revolutionary great man, and the whole city hung flags to pay tribute!

After Sun Yat-sen arrived in Beijing, he stayed at the Guest House.It was the first time for Sun and Yuan to meet each other. When Yuan saw this revolutionary hero who founded the Republic of China, he had a smile on his face and shook hands very affectionately.From then on, there was a big banquet in three days and a secret meeting in two days, and they talked 13 times before and after. A gentleman can be deceived in his own way, and Yuan used another method to deal with Sun Yat-sen.Sun Yat-sen treated people with sincerity, so he believed Yuan.This can be seen from a telegram from Sun Yat-sen to Huang Xing:

"After arriving in Beijing, I had two talks with Xiangcheng. He also had a plan for various aspects of industry, and they were not far from each other. As for national defense and foreign affairs, he saw the same thing. From my brother's point of view, Xiangcheng is really in a sad state of affairs. There is absolutely no room for doubt about the situation. Zhenwu is really forced by Li's urgent telegram. If the general will follow his wishes, he will not be able to match Li's hopes. Since my brother came here, I have dispelled all opinions. Brother should come quickly, and the southern trend will also follow. It can be stopped, and the unification should have a satisfactory result." The purpose of Sun Yat-sen's trip to Beijing was to convert Yuan with virtue and make Yuan return with sincerity. Therefore, he had three tasks in his north trip: first, he planned to absorb Yuan Shikai into the Kuomintang, and he was willing to give up the position of party leader to Yuan, so that Yuan could serve as a member of the party. The second is to limit Yuan's abuse of presidential power by the party responsible cabinet, so as to cooperate with Yuan in good faith; the third is to persuade Yuan to still move his capital to Nanjing to avoid the siege of corrupt forces in the north.In order to express his sincere cooperation with Yuan, he met with Huang Xing and jointly gave up running for the official president of the Republic of China, so that Yuan could be elected as the official president without any opponent.He also further stated that he would not change the president for ten years to stabilize the country's politics. On September 6, Sun Yat-sen took the time to go to Zhangjiakou to look at the scenery of the Great Wall.Facing the landscape of northern China, this great man of the Republic of China is unfamiliar. He devoted his whole life to the revolution, overthrew the Qing court, and founded the Republic of China. , this kind of magnanimity is really admirable!However, his efforts in the north were in vain, because Yuan Shikai was already an overlord who had fallen into the devil's way, and he did not accept the influence of this revolutionary great man at all.The political turmoil in the early years of the Republic of China and Yuan's failure to proclaim himself emperor can be said to have a lot to do with this meeting between Sun and Yuan, and Yuan's inability to accept Sun's teachings. Sun Yat-sen lived in Beijing for a month, and had 13 conversations with Yuan, each from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm to 12:00 pm, and three or four times after 2:00 midnight.In these meetings, besides Sun and Yuan, Liang Shiyi sometimes participated.Since the talks were not made public, the content was kept secret.It is said that Sun Yat-sen said to Yuan one night: "National construction starts with transportation. Brothers plan to build 200,000 miles of railways in ten years. I hope you can train millions of elite soldiers. Then China can reach a state of prosperity." Yuan smiled and said: "Do I know you are sure about the railway, but it is not easy to train a million elite soldiers." Another night when Sun and Yuan talked at one o'clock, Liang Shiyi sent Sun Yat-sen back to the residence, and Sun stayed with Liang for a talk. I still don’t understand it yet. I think China is based on agriculture. If farmers can’t find a complete solution to it, there will be no innovation at all. To solve the problems of farmers themselves, it is necessary to have land for the tiller. I talked with Xiang Cheng. Qi Tian thought that Xiang Cheng would definitely object to his political views, but how did he know that not only did he not object, but he definitely took it for granted? I really don't understand why?" Liang replied: "Mr. traveled around the world and witnessed the exploitation of big landlords. Growing up in the south, he saw the pain of the tenant farmers, so he advocated that the tiller should own the land. Xiangcheng grew up in the north, and his footprints are as large as the south of the Yangtze River, but most of the north are self-cultivating farmers, and there are very few tenant farmers; so Xiangcheng believes that the tiller has his own land. Of course." Whether Sun Yat-sen told Yuan about his three northward travel goals is unknown, but he once talked to Yuan about the policy of withdrawing coins and replacing them with paper money.Every time he raised a question, Yuan praised him sincerely, and never disagreed.One day, when the two were talking happily, Yuan stood up excitedly, raised his hands and shouted: "Long live Mr. Sun Yat-sen!" Sun Yat-sen also responded: "Long live the great president!" Yuan's attitude towards Sun Yat-sen was cordial, sincere, and obedient, which made Sun Yat-sen mistakenly think that everything about Yuan was not as bad as the rumors said.Yuan never made any request to Sun Yat-sen, and only talked about one thing, Liang Qichao's return to China.Yuan said: "When I organized the responsible cabinet in the year of 1911, I asked Liang Zhuoru to return to China to serve as the Deputy Minister of Justice. Although he did not return to China, he often corresponded with me after that. I know that he has given up his idea of ​​a constitutional monarchy. Now he is allowed to come back to China. Participating in politics is not harmful to us, and we can get some help from him." Sun immediately agreed with Yuan's opinion.It turned out that after the 1898 coup, Liang Qichao escaped from Tianjin to Japan under the cover of three Japanese, Yamada, Shomura Toshizaburo, and Noguchi Uchida, and engaged in the movement to protect the emperor and establish a constitution.After the founding of the Republic of China, Cai E, governor of Yunnan Province, asked Li Yuanhong to forward the call to the central government, requesting the appointment of his teacher Liang Qichao. For Yuan Shikai, he was trying to bring the leader of the constitutional monarchy back to China for his use.That's why he proposed to Sun Yat-sen so enthusiastically, hoping that Sun would not forget the old evil and give Liang the opportunity to serve the Republic of China. Since Sun Yat-sen believed that Yuan had the sincerity to cooperate and submit, he urged Huang Xing to come to Beijing to avoid any unhappiness.Although Huang was not satisfied with Yuan's behavior, in order to reconcile the North and the South and maintain the overall situation, he resolutely went to Beijing. As early as mid-July, Yuan sent Jiang Zuobin to visit Huang with his own letter and photos, and invited Huang to Beijing. Huang replied to Yuan with the following letter: "Mr. Wei Gong, President Junjian: Yesterday, Deputy Minister Jiang Yuyan (as a guest) handed over a handwritten photo. Seeing the heart of contempt, it is like seeing Ye Gong's face. I admire him privately, which is indescribable. Read from the north and the south Reunification, Mr. is independent of all opinions, presided over it with all his strength, and benefited the people. His sincerity is not superficial. At the beginning of the construction, there are many latitudes and longitudes, the financial crisis is in crisis every day, and the public opinion is not consistent. The trend is coming, and the country is in danger. You Lai Zhan Bu Hongyou, in order to change the overall situation. Xing has been running around for many years, learning and cultivating for a long time, his intelligence is not as good as the average, and his energy is gradually exhausted. Since the establishment of the Provisional Government, it has repeatedly taken on important tasks. Fang wanted to make amends, but the reward was too much, and the policy came, and the fate came to Beijing quickly, to plan the big plan, and only recite it again and again, the shame is deep. But it is the concern of the state, and the courage is still there. I am eager to work hard and complain, who is happy, who dares to cherish this line of work, I will live in peace, although Guan Li's opinion has nothing to contribute, but I can see a gentleman, and listen to famous words, and I am happy. I have injured my hands and sores due to fans. I have not recovered, my beriberi is painful, and it is difficult to walk. After a while, I will recover, and I will follow the order to go north and pick up my clothes. I attach a photo because of Jiang's return to Beijing. A lesson from Fu Wei. Praise to Jun'an! Huang Xing nodded." Yuan issued an order in the name of the President to appoint Huang Xing as a general of the army, and Huang wrote a letter of resignation on September 12.Letter of resignation cloud: "A lesson from the President: On September 7th of the first year, Xing was awarded the title of Army General by order of the Jun. Hearing the order, he was inexplicably ashamed....Xingxiang was a scholar, and he had never learned anything about the military...Ten years later, Repeated setbacks, and exile overseas in the middle, although they dare not live in peace and cherish the rest of their lives, they have failed many times and failed. Last year, Wuchang raised the flag of righteousness for the first time, and all the provinces responded. They all agreed to build the Republic of China. It took only three years. In the month, the soldiers did not spread, and the overall situation was settled, all due to the determination of our president to save the country and the perseverance of the compatriots in the whole country. After following the gentlemen, they will drive vigorously, and the people of the country should do what they should, and they are favored and honored. The general above him is ignorant of martial arts, and he is not familiar with the military field... He is the same as the next team. He is a champion. Zhao Lai is also here. In addition, the governor of Hekou, who lost my elite, fought hard in Guangdong City, lost my good friends, and those who have followed uprisings or revolutionized movements in various places over the years, died, their wives were separated, and they have been imprisoned for a long time. Thousands of plans. The Battle of Hanyang, the many murderous corpses, were all the most painful things in Xing's life, and now he is only lucky enough to survive, and he is rewarded, recalling the bones of the wasteland, mounds and piles, and the creation of a republic. It was transformed by blue blood. It was recorded in the Japanese Socialist Party that there was a song: "The shining thing on the chest of the general was not the golden rooster medal of honor, but the skeleton of the most pitiful soldier." Why is the title of the general different now! This is In the middle of the night, Xing looks at his heart and recites a sentence that will lead to success, and he will be overwhelmed with grief. I implore my president to learn from the foolishness and pay attention to famous utensils, not to abuse fake ones, and take them back to life, so that Xing can be the people of the republic and avoid I am really grateful for the blame and hatred, and I am so grateful." Yuan Shikai was courting Sun and Huang at this time, so he was not allowed to approve Huang's modest remarks: "According to the report, he stayed behind and ran state affairs for 20 years. He advocated the republic, reformed the political system, was enthusiastic and persistent, never turned back, went from death to life, and endured extreme hardships. Everything he experienced is known to all Chinese and foreign. And the quality should be worthy of shame. The above-mentioned generals are not meant to reward mediocrity, but only for psychological similarity. It is said that the republic was formed by the blood of the martyrs. I am deeply alarmed. President Szeben and the people should share the same thoughts and encouragement, and he will never forget it. The former stays in the arms of humility, which is enough to win the world, but after the State Council, it is said that the former stays behind. In the world of champions, there is a lot of discussion, and it is difficult to accept the request." On August 27th, Huang Xing took the Ming Xinlun to the north in Shanghai, accompanied by Chen Qimei, Li Shucheng, Zhang Xiaozhun, He Chengjun, Zhao Tie, Xu Shaoqiu, Xu Shenbo, Mei Tongsheng, Yang Pusheng, Lu Huisheng, Gong Jinyu, Sun Dishan, etc.Zhang Zhonghua, an advisor to the Presidential Palace, and Chen Yuanbai, the brigade commander, were sent by Beijing to pick him up.Song Jiaoren greeted him in Tianjin. Arriving in Beijing on September 11, the Beijing government and all walks of life warmly welcomed him, and its grandeur was only slightly inferior to that of Sun Yat-sen.The next day Huang went to the Presidential Palace to visit Yuan. Yuan also shook hands with Huang warmly and exchanged warm greetings. At 8:00 p.m. on the 21st, Yuan formally hosted a banquet for Huang and his entourage. There were about 70 or 80 people seated together, including the chairman and vice president of the Senate, the secretary-general, the general and deputy ministers of various ministries, and various senior military officers.After drinking, Yuan Qili gave a welcome speech: "Nowadays, autocratic countries in the world cannot survive, and a republic must be built. If an autocratic country is the home of the world, only a few people are responsible for the country, so the country will become more decadent; the republic is the public world, and the whole country is responsible for the country, so the country can be revitalized To this day, our country does not adopt the republic system, which is not enough to consolidate the country's foundation. Mr. Keqiang has seen this, and he has worked hard to create a republic. Lin Li, I have not always been able to help you with your salary. In addition to the lack of military salary, sir, you can not only calm down the morale of the army, but also advocate the retirement of the army. This gentleman is sincere and touching, and it is the spirit of military equipment. The spirit is a model, and then you can remain invincible. Zeng Dishengyun is sincerely patriotic and persevering. Mr. has worked so hard to achieve this great cause. He is the so-called sincere patriot and persevering. I admire him very much. From the perspective of a group of people, they all call it restrained. Mr. Qiang is an upright hero. As far as I can see, he is not only an upright hero, but also an honest gentleman. My respect and love for him is beyond words. This time, when you come to the north, you are very welcome from all walks of life. When we meet, we will discuss political opinions They are all the same. Everything that Mr. planned is out of sincere patriotism, and it comes from bleak management. It is practical. Nowadays, there are many people who say that the country is the premise, and they often catch phrases, but Mr. really takes the country as the premise. .” Huang Xing replied: "Today, the President has given me too much praise. I am ashamed. The founding of the Republic is due to the determination of the President to save the country and the unanimous sponsorship of state servants, army commanders and division commanders. This effect can only be achieved. I am very happy. I am grateful. Now that the national foundation has just been established, there are many construction tasks. The President represents the people of the Republic of China. In this difficult and difficult situation, on the one hand, it is necessary to maintain the order and establish the foundation of the republic. The difficult situation can be imagined. When Xing came to Beijing this time, he witnessed the painstaking efforts of the President to promote the country and all the painstaking planning. I am particularly grateful. The difficulties of the country in the future may be more serious than today. All the people of the Republic of China, whether in politics or in society, need to Showing true patriotism to support the great cause of the President's construction, to make the Republic of China and other countries stand on an equal footing, and to maintain true peace in the world. This kind of prosperity is hoped by the gentlemen present and used for self-encouragement." Sun Yat-sen's activities in Beijing were very common. He believed that the purpose of the revolution was not to eliminate the population, but to unite the five ethnic groups on an equal footing to form the Greater China nation.Therefore, he and the former Qing Regent Zaifeng visited each other. The former Empress Dowager Longyu ordered the Taibao Shixu to open the Summer Palace to welcome him. On September 12, he ordered Pu Lun and others to have a feast for Sun and Huang Ergong at the Tongzhai in Jinyu Hutong.During the meeting, Pu Lun delivered a welcome speech.Pu Lun said: "The two gentlemen are extraordinary people, so they can build extraordinary careers. This change in the national system is entirely due to the power of the two gentlemen's advocacy. Our queen mother has long admired the benevolence of Mr. Sun, and believes that the republic is the general trend of the 20th century, so resolutely Return the government to the people of the country. We expect the five ethnic groups to be equal, the foundation of the country will be permanent from now on, and the royal family will receive endless blessings." On this day, Sun Yat-sen was infected with a throat disease, so he did not speak. Instead, Huang Xing stood up to give a speech. Huang said: "The success of the republic is due to the leadership of Mr. Sun for decades, with great hardships and hardships, so that the people of the country will listen to the scenery and the hearts of the people will return. If there is no empress dowager Longyu's wisdom, who resolutely advocated the abdication of the country, the success of the revolution would not be so easy. So Today we go back to the beginning, and the Empress Dowager Longyu also made great contributions to the founding of the Republic of China. We all raise a glass to her health!" On October 3, the General Staff held a banquet in the Summer Palace, Huang Xing and Chen Qimei, two great soldiers of the Revolutionary Party, and invited the former Qing Taibao Shizuo to accompany them.Huang Xing and Shixu sat very close. Huang asked about Puyi's daily life. Shixu said that Puyi was four years old this year, had cut his hair, and was very diligent in reading and writing every day.Huang said: "We are a family of five families today, and the Qing Dynasty royal family has many talents, which is also a blessing for the Republic of China." Because of the attitude of these great men who founded the Republic of China in Beijing, the abdicated Qing royal family felt very comforted, thinking that they would not be persecuted or liquidated in the new China in the future. Yuan Shikai originally hoped to hold a meeting of the four giants Sun, Huang, Yuan, and Li in Beijing on the Double Tenth Day of the first year of the Republic of China (that is, the anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising of 1911), and jointly sign a policy agenda.Because the "Convention Law" of the Republic of China had been promulgated long ago, but the government itself did not have a clear and practical policy program.On the anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising of 1911, Sun, Huang, and Li Runeng joined hands to advance to Beijing, which not only symbolized the unity of the country, but also established Yuan's presidential status.Unfortunately, Li Yuanhong did not dare to enter Beijing because of the Zhang Zhenwu case, so the Big Four had to change it to a meeting of the Big Three.Sun, Huang, and Yuan discussed several times, and finally determined the eight points of the outline, and obtained the consent of Vice President Li Yuanhong by telegram. Then, on September 25, the Office of the Secretary of the Presidential Office officially announced that "Sun, Huang, Yuan, and Li Eight Major Policies of the Agreement", the full text is: "The reunification of the Republic of China, the change of cold and heat, and the progress of the general government, every time it is slowed down, if you want to solve the fundamental problem, you must first have a definite policy. The president of this country has worked hard, and he has spent a lot of sleep and food. For a long time, he wants to unite the leaders of various political parties and donate money. In order to get rid of prejudices and discuss relief methods, Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Huang Keqiang came to Beijing successively. The discussions were pleasant and leisurely, and there was almost no time left. Because of the agreement on the internal affairs outline, the questioning of the officials of the State Council was also seamless, so we consulted by telegram Vice President Li Wuchang asked for his consent, and got a reply, expressing his deep approval. The eight outlines are as follows: (1) Establish a unified system of national mining; (2) Preside over the true justice of right and wrong, good and evil, and correct folk customs; (3) Temporarily curb the military and reserve military personnel first; (4) Open the door, import foreign capital, set up railway mines, build (5) Advocate funding for national industries, starting with agriculture, forestry, industry and commerce; (6) Centralize military affairs, diplomacy, finance, judiciary, and transportation, and adopt decentralization in the rest according to local conditions; (7) Quickly organize finances; (8) Try to reconcile party views and maintain order, which is the foundation of recognition. " Based on these eight major policies, four more agreements on implementation procedures were drawn up: (1) Implement unification: If the military governments of the provinces have not been cancelled, they will be ordered to cancel within a time limit.On the one hand, personnel were sent to various provinces to investigate the situation, and the directors of the military, foreign affairs, and transportation departments were all appointed by the central government, and all matters were directly subordinate to the central ministries in order to unify; (2) To rectify the navy and army: with the funds to be raised, the Army University and the Naval Academy will be organized as soon as possible, and personnel selected by the Navy and Army Department will go to various countries for inspection; (3) Construction of the railway: Mr. Sun Yat-sen has been in charge of handling it. Mr. Huang Xing is asked to take charge of the mine development and build iron and steel factories in Beijing and Nanjing, so as to achieve the goal of self-manufacturing the whole country's ordnance; (4) Subsidize the industrial banks of national organizations, agriculture, forestry, and industry and commerce, and the government supervises the gentry to save the government from the troubles. None of the above-mentioned agreements and implementation steps mentioned some fundamental issues of abiding by the Provisional Constitution, respecting the National Assembly, and implementing the responsible cabinet. The provisions are somewhat abstract and not specific.Of course, Yuan achieved his goal, because the central government seemed to be Yuan's personal center, and from this declaration, all power was captured in Yuan's hands.Let him preside over the military and borrow foreign debts, and the Kuomintang advocated moving the capital back to Nanjing without even mentioning a word.It was just that Sun Yat-sen was specially granted full authority to plan the national railways, and Huang Xing was appointed as the supervisor of the Hanyuchuan Railway. This is the enthusiasm and patriotism of the revolutionary greats, and they can't beat Yuan Shikai, an old fox!
