Chapter 32 Section 10 Mr. Sun Wen's "Eleven Points"

In order to solve the "21" crisis, Yuan Shikai ordered Gu Weijun to sneak into the British and American embassies with easy makeup, and at the same time sent Cai Tingqian to leak the news to the British reporter Duanna on February 11, 1915.Duan Na and Yuan Shikai's political adviser Morrison sent the full text of the "Twenty-One" to The Times and the British Minister Zhu Erdian. It is said that there should be a period of time between leak and disclosure. but.Just on February 11, in Tokyo, more than a thousand Chinese students studying in Japan gathered in the rain to protest the "21" proposed by the Japanese government.

Two weeks later, on February 25, Chen Jiongming, Huang Xing, Li Liejun, Bai Wenwei, and Niu Yongjian, who were in exile in Japan, issued a telegram calling for the suspension of the revolution and unanimously speaking. Three days later, Sun Wen, leader of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, delivered a speech.Abbreviated as: In Nanjing, my younger brother first removed the ban on party associations, and learned that he was free to establish parties and associations.And he was dismissed and returned to Guangdong, thinking that Guangdong is the most developed province in Hongmen, so he thought of starting from my Guangdong, making it a case, free and open, as a way to improve and progress.Hu Hanmin of Shang, Hu Da agrees.The younger brother then instructed Huang Sande to submit an application, and his joint name with Huang was Chen Shaobai of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and Shi Guyu, the supervisor of the Taxation Office, and the staff of Bihu.But at the right time, Chen Jiongming was the commander of the army, held military power, and was determined to deal with the bandits, but he was also jealous of the party and tried his best to prevent it.Hu can't take his intention by force, but the younger brother's purpose can't be achieved.Chen Jiongming should be blamed for this matter. Secondly, Hu Hanmin, as the governor, was unable to control Chen and was obstructed. It is not without fault.

Sun Wen's speech is very interesting.To put it simply, Chen Jiongming clearly opposed the "21", while Sun Wen accused: Chen Jiongming is a big villain, he is jealous of the Jianghu brothers.Don't hang out with him, there is no way out with him. It seems that nothing has been said. Will talk about it soon. It is said that after the Chinese students studying in Japan braved the rain to protest the "21", the Japanese newspapers were very dissatisfied and accused Sun Wen's Chinese Revolutionary Party of being behind the scenes. In this regard, Sun Wen explicitly denied.

The most violent party member, Dai Jitao, was ordered by Sun Wen to deliver a public speech, briefly saying: ... There are individuals who take part in activities solely for certain interests ... but not as members of the revolution.The purpose of spreading such rumors at the legation is to tarnish the reputation of the Revolutionary Party and embarrass the Revolutionary Party... Dai Jitao's speech is thought-provoking. He meant that it is a shame to oppose the "21" and that the Chinese Revolutionary Party is really embarrassed by saying that it opposes the "21".The "someone" mentioned by Dai Jitao refers to Chen Jiongming, Huang Xing, etc., accusing them of opposing the "21" because they have other motives.

What is the picture? Not too clear, Dai Jitao doesn't explain, because he thinks you understand.Just two weeks after his public speech, Mr. Sun Wen sent a letter to Koike Zhangzo, director of the Political Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, proposing the "Eleven Articles" of the draft Sino-Japanese alliance. So, what are Mr. Sun Wen's "Eleven Points" about? The "Eleven Articles" refers to the "Sino-Japanese Covenant" signed by Sun Wen and Chen Qimei with Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd. on February 5, 1915. It is referred to as "Eleven Articles" in history, and the contents are as follows:

1.China and Japan support each other. If other countries have important diplomatic affairs in East Asia, the two countries should notify each other in advance. 2.In order to facilitate the coordinated operations between China and Japan, the weapons and ammunition used by China should adopt the same standard as that of Japan. 3.If the Chinese army and navy recruit foreigners, they should first hire Japanese soldiers. 4.When the Chinese central and local governments hire foreigners, they should first hire Japanese. 5.For the coordinated development of the Chinese and Japanese economies, the China-Japan Bank was established and branches were established throughout China.

6.China operates mines, railways, and shipping. If it cooperates with foreign countries, Japan should be considered first. 7.Japan helps China improve its bad governance. 8.Japan helps China reorganize its armaments and build a sound country. 9.Japan sponsored China to amend treaties, customs independence, and abolish consular jurisdiction. 10.The above-mentioned contents shall not be concluded with other countries without the consent of the diplomatic authorities of the two countries and the signatories of this treaty. 11.This covenant is valid for ten years. On page 343 of "The Complete Biography of Yuan Shikai" written by Mr. Wang Zhonghe:

After the signing of the covenant, Manchuria provided Sun (Wen) with more than 300,000 yuan in funding.Sun's approach aroused strong resentment within the revolutionary party, and some people called him "China's Li Wanyong" (Li is a North Korean traitor who demanded merger with Japan, original note). Sun Wen was worried that Yuan Shikai would really accept the "Twenty-One" and that he would lose his value in the eyes of the Japanese, so he couldn't wait to send his old friend, Quan Yangyi, to him on March 14, 1915. The "Eleven Points" were conveyed to Koike Zhangzo, director of the Political Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.In the letter, Sun Wen expressed his satisfaction that his "Eleven Points" were basically the same as the "Twenty One Points" proposed by the Japanese government, and also said that Yuan Shikai would not be sincere in the cooperation between China and Japan in order to show loyalty to the Japanese government.If Japan helps him to overthrow Yuan Shikai and take over the highest political power in China, he promised to give Japan more favorable benefits than the "21".
