Chapter 8 Letter to Kang Youwei (December 1906)

1. This book is specially published for a major event. Please talk about this matter first, and other matters.It has been a long time since the emergence of political parties in our country, and there has never been an opportunity before, and under the edict of preparing for a constitution, the opportunity is a big move.The disciple wants to try to promote it internally, but Bing Sanyun wants to come to the east to do business, so he treats him like a aunt.Bingsan waited until three days later, and a letter from Mr. Wang about changing the name of the meeting arrived, and I sent it to him for discussion. He said that it is appropriate to use the name of the Imperial Constitutional Council, and the previous letter and telegram have already been submitted.In the past few days, the conference has resumed and the order is rough. Please choose it today.

1. The number of academic circles in Tokyo is increasing day by day, and those who have returned to China after graduation are also spread all over the key points. Therefore, if you want to organize a political party, you still have to gather momentum from Tokyo.The most gay and powerful person in Tokyo is none other than Yang Xizidu (Xiangtan native, Xiaolian, Qingxin donated doctor). He has profound Chinese studies, studies Buddhism, and has real experience in modern politics and law. He was a former student studying abroad. The director-general of the guild hall, all overseas students who are knowledgeable will return.Over the past few years, I have had a very close relationship with my disciples, but before, the name of Baohuanghui was too narrow and embarrassing, and the inside was envied by the government, and the outside was targeted by the revolutionary party, so it was difficult to expand, so I refused to work together.Today I heard that our association has changed its name, and it is three hundred years away (some people in Tokyo are the same). Therefore, my disciple invited Bingsan to come to Kobe with him and do business for three days and nights.The ones mentioned below are all discussed in these three days and nights.

1. There are old clubs overseas and new clubs are set up in China.So there must be a reason for it, it goes without saying.Therefore, those who have to divide, one is that our overseas affairs must not be known to the inland people, and the inland people must not be allowed to communicate directly with various ports.The second thing about changing the name must be announced (announced in the "Times" and "Cong Bao"). After the announcement, everyone knows that the Imperial Constituent Council, the old Royalist Council, will be inconvenient to promote the interior, so it is better to change the name and establish a separate one. meeting.Its proposed name is the Constitutional Council, while the overseas one is called the Imperial Constitutional Council.

1. The disciples of the Constitutional Council are well-known as the founders, but the husband is not famous, because there are many people in the mainland who are jealous of the husband, but few are jealous of the disciples.However, Mr. Dai must be the chairman before they can be reunified. Therefore, it is stated in the chapter of the association that "there will be no chairman for the time being."At present, the only ones who know this are the disciples, Bingsan, and Xizi, and the other members (those of the same sect are not included in this discussion) are not aware of it.Although the disciple is famous as the initiator, he is not a staff member, but he submits the order of the master in the name of an ordinary member, and he is the head of the modern guild.Bing San is also not well-known in order to exercise in the Mainland.

1. After the party formation ceremony in Tokyo, the headquarters will be established in Shanghai, and the chief executive will be in charge.The director-general must be extremely talented, promising and trustworthy, and She Xizi has no one else, so I plan to use him.He said to himself that if he is appointed to this position, he must be loyal to the association and must be under the direction of the chairman. He has not yet met with the chairman, and he does not know whether the chairman approves it or not, and he does not know whether his opinions agree with the chairman. , Whether we can work together in the end or not in the future, we must not be careless at the beginning.I plan to write a letter to Mr. Yu first, and I will get permission from my husband to reply to the letter from Chen Zheng's views and future measures, and Mr. Shenshi's opinions are all the same as his, and then I dare to accept the matter.The book must be submitted within two or three days, and Mr. Wang will reply immediately when it arrives, and he will give him a reward, and he must be honest and fair with him, and he should be neither humble nor overbearing.He and his disciples are close friends, although he has no relationship with the president, it goes without saying that he must learn the etiquette of being a junior to his master.But sir, you should always treat him as a national scholar, and you will not be disappointed.From what the disciples saw, this person is also like Tan Fusheng, and Bingsan also said that this talent is rare in his eyes.If the gentleman can win his heart, he will be able to serve the party forever.All talented people are the most difficult to surrender. After surrendering, one person can be worth thousands of people. I hope you will pay attention to your reply and don't be hasty.Both of them were also superstitious about revolution. Fortunately, they had a deep friendship with their disciples, and they were finally able to turn around.Last year Zhongshan was unable to achieve it with all-out campaigns, and today the Revolutionary Party is attacking it day by day, but its ambition is due to its firmness.It really has a lot to do with one person being unsuitable for the other, but eventually obeying me.

1. The constitution of the association has not yet been drafted, and its outline is as follows: 1. Respect the royal family and expand civil rights. 2. Consolidate national defense and reward civilian industry (this article is not yet determined). 3. Require a good constitution and build a responsible government. 1. Now, apart from his disciples and Xizi, the founders are Jiang Guanyun (who was still addicted to the revolution a few months ago, but now he has turned back and fought against the Revolutionary Party), Wu Zhongyao (Tieqiao's younger brother), Xu Fosu (Chang Youwen) See "Cong Bao", Jun Mian, Ru Bo, Chu Qing, Xiao Gao, Jue Dun, and more than ten students, whose names cannot be listed. This is the initial initiator in Tokyo.

1. Financial power is the most important thing, and it is not enough to convince the public without the king's encouragement.So Jun Mian is the chief accountant, stationed in Shanghai, and is in charge of all financial rights.If Jun Mian is not good at accounting, then he will appoint someone as his assistant. 1. Zhang Jizhi, Zheng Sukan, and Tang Zhexian are extremely important people, but since they joined the party, they must be able to advance and retreat with me.Our party is now the enemy of the revolutionary party at the bottom, and the enemy of the current government at the top. It is unknown whether they will be able to do so without fear.He now sincerely wants to unite with me, but it is very easy to unite at the beginning, and it is tasteless to split up halfway.Therefore, the disciple plans to go to Shanghai once to meet with them and explain thoroughly.If he comes, he is welcome, and if he does not come, there is no harm.

1. Yuan, Duan, and Zhao are secret sponsors. This means that Bingsan has negotiated with him and made a promise. 1. Dai Chunwang is proposed to be the president, and Zegong is the vice president. Once Mr. De writes back and decides to hold a meeting, Bingsan will go to Beijing to exercise. (This matter must be kept extremely secret, and must not be reported, otherwise the matter will fail. The sponsorship of Yuan, Duan, Zhao, etc. is also the same. It is only an announcement to win the temporary favor of overseas members, but it will create infinite resistance to the actual situation. It is very meaningless.)

1. The branch in the Mainland mainly focuses on doing practical things and cannot use it to raise funds.The membership fee can only be charged one yuan, and it is planned to charge two cents per month, and the membership report is paid by one volume, which is equivalent to selling newspaper ears.Therefore, the money must not be collected by members.But in today's situation, the revolutionary party is spreading wildly and spreading all over the country. I must do my best to fight against it today and make a big effort to make progress, otherwise our party will have no place to stand.Therefore, after setting up the headquarters in Shanghai, it is planned to send personnel to various provinces, prefectures, and counties to give speeches and hold meetings. Occupying a county means having the power of a county; occupying a prefecture means having the power of a prefecture.Otherwise, I will thorn in the sky and the earth first. (Now the enemy party is in the south and has taken over power. On the one hand, our party is fighting to the death in the south, and on the other hand, it is anxious to attack those who are not in a hurry first, so as to take the north. This is a three-way plan.) But if Therefore, the cost is huge, and it is clear that only the membership fee can not be paid in case.Therefore, this fund must be borne by the promoters. Bing three appointments will collect 150,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan will be used to run the "Beijing News", and 100,000 yuan will be used as the basic fund for the conference. It is still necessary to exercise, and it is not known whether it can be obtained. The disciple Qiang Bingsan will only accept this number.) The money is roughly half of the residence of Yuan, Duan and Zhao.But this amount is too small, so Bing and Xi ordered their disciples to raise 50,000 yuan.My disciples are well aware of the powerlessness of the Overseas Society, but they can't show others how simple they are, for fear that they will be disappointed. It has been promised.I don't know if the gentleman can manage to raise this amount?The disciples said that with the two topics of building clubs in Shanghai and Beijing and giving speeches in the interior, it is appropriate to get money from abroad, and these two things are also true. (I want to build a club in Shanghai with 20,000 gold. Although this is empty, it is very important: firstly, to impress the people in the mainland, and secondly, to comfort the hope of overseas people.) Mr. Wang tried his best to seek it.If not, even if it is removed from the commercial stock, it is not a last resort.This matter is at a critical moment for the future of our party and the survival of the whole country, and it is necessary to do nothing else.What do you mean sir?

1. Overseas members plan to recruit and merge into overseas clubs. Those who do not join will be heard, and those who join will be charged. Please decide. 1. The revolutionary party now occupies a great power in Tokyo, and more than half of the more than 10,000 students follow it.Previously, under the preparatory constitutional edict, the opportunity was a bit slow, and the reform of the official system was in name only, and its momentum was growing, and the whole country was crazy.People in all provinces in Tokyo have it, and it is sown here, and it spreads in the interior.Chaos has sprung up everywhere in Jiangxi, Hunan, Shandong, and Zhili in the near future, all of which are caused by the other party.Today, our party's fight to the death with the government is still the second righteousness, and it is the first righteousness to fight the revolutionary party to the death.If there is that, there is no me, and if there is me, there is no other.However, if I fight the government to the death, I will not be able to accept the hope of the world and kill the other party's momentum, so fighting the government is also a book that must not be delayed today.Today, there are two major enemies between the front and back, and it is very difficult to establish, but we will definitely win the final victory if we try our best.For this reason, it is impossible to win without accumulating more generals and recruiting talents.Except for the two presidents in my old church, there was no one who could put on a horse.Only the old talents in the thatched cottage can be preserved, but they must not be expanded, and they are bound to lose.Therefore, in the future, recruiting talents must be the first priority, and if talents can [how] and then be recruited widely, it is really necessary to be familiar with the examination.The more talented a person is, the more difficult it is to control, but if he abandons it because it is difficult to drive, how will the party develop?I would rather not be [only] yes, if I abandon it, people will accept it, and they will be our enemies.This is the reason why our party was weak before.However, because I can't control it, even though it is included in the party membership and not used by me, what is the purpose?This is why I dare not overcharge people before.But my disciples think that today's situation is a little different from the previous ones. What is done in the mainland is not related to military affairs or business affairs, so there is no competition for financial power; if there is no competition for financial power, only differences in political opinions can lead to conflicts. split ear.However, today's people clearly mark the party program, and if they are the same as this person, they should advance. Otherwise, there will be no disputes over this.

At this point, I suddenly received the New York "Reformation Newspaper", knowing that the name change of the Baohuanghui has been announced.Why not use the name of the empire, but the name of the people?Can it be too late?I secretly think that it is not too late to change it now.I also reported that the article and the regulations were published in "Xinmin Bao", and I secretly thought that this article and the regulations must not be used.Its charter is not a system of charter, but a notice in the meeting. (The charter system should be like the constitution of the meeting, so the organizational law of the meeting is determined.) This need not be discussed.In his report, the disciples have a big disagreement: Those who talk about political parties in various countries in the East and West have an essential point, saying that the party is based on its doctrine, not the party on its people.This is not published.And if I want to form a party today, I must follow this spirit to do it.Today's report is all based on Mr. himself, which is certainly not enough to appeal to the heroes of the country.The purpose of a husband forming a party is to accept him as his husband's party, so what's the matter?This way of using troops must be observed.Since Mr. Hu marked this doctrine to appeal to the world, and the people in the world liked Mr.'s doctrine and came to return, then the party belongs to this doctrine, that is, the party belongs to Mr. Hu.However, he thinks that Mr. Party advocates this doctrine, and it is not that Mr. Party advocates this doctrine, and then the Party adopts this doctrine.Because my husband advocates this doctrine and Mr. Party, he said that someone advocates this doctrine, and I also agree with this doctrine, and because of this, we are the ears of the party.And in this doctrine, those who can lead and command, there is no one else besides Mr., even if you don't want to push Mr., you can get it. (Bingsan, Zhezi, Guanyun and others have to conspire to support Mr., because of this.) If you don’t boast about your ability, you can’t fight for your merits. If you are proud of yourself in this report Being able to cut down its merits is the most sufficient to be the hope of the world.Speaking for overseas people, it might as well be so. If it is in the mainland, it must not be feasible, so this disciple wants to write another article.The disciple wrote an article with the general intention of exposing three major outlines: one is to uphold the royal family, the other is to expand civil rights, and the third is to destroy irresponsible governments.That is to say, it is easy to express these three meanings without telling your own history, and people don't know it.In this regard, what do you think, sir?In the future, Mr. Xi will restore the letter of Xizi, and then Tokyo will be [and] Shanghai's hero, whether he can return to his heart or not will depend on it from then on.I contemptuously think that it is appropriate to spread the meaning of "the party is in the doctrine and not the party in the people", which is probably the case since Chen Zheng's opinion.Now that the princes are with me, and want to push me to lead, although I have no resemblance, how dare you resign?From now on, we have devoted ourselves to being loyal to this doctrine, and to our party, hoping to live up to the sincerity of your election.Such a wording seems to be the most suitable.Itagaki, Okuma, etc. used this language in their inaugural speeches for members, and they must imitate it.
