Chapter 168 Chapter 8 Sun Yat-sen is a Strategist

On April 27th of that year, exactly one week after the sinking of the "Xinyu", Mr. Sun Wen set off from Japan on the "Emaru" for Shanghai. He was accompanied by Liao Zhongkai, Dai Jitao, Zhang Ji, and his Japanese friend Miyazaki Tozo. Wait. On May 1, Mr. Sun Wen arrived in Shanghai, and on the 9th he issued a second statement against thieves, saying: Eliminate evil and do everything, and there will be no mercy for the Yuan family.If Yuan's deceitful power is used to kill people, he must also end up with the monarchy, and there will be no one in the world who uses his old wisdom.

This statement is just one sentence: Yuan Shikai must die! The fact that Mr. Sun Wen was able to return to China safely indicated that Yuan Shikai had lost his final ability to control.In other words, his time of death has really arrived. When Mr. Sun is about to win his victory, we must find out, what is the difference between Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai? Let's first look at Harvard University professor Fei Zhengqing's evaluation of Yuan Shikai in his "Cambridge History of the Republic of China": He was by nature a practitioner, not a theoretician.He did not conceive a scheme of improvement, nor lay down a set of principles for it, but merely practiced them, and proved their practicability.

What Professor Fairbank meant was: Yuan Shikai is a man of affairs. What about Sun Wen? "Shizaitang Miscellaneous Memories" written by Liu Yusheng mentioned the magic method of speech described by Mr. Sun Wen: One, practice posture.Standing on the podium, the demeanor and posture must not only make the audience feel solemn and respectful, but also make the audience feel calm and peaceful when speaking.The most taboo is frivolity, everything is natural, sometimes the meaning of the words is serious, to arouse the attention of the audience, but you can't pretend to be shocking.When I was young, I studied speeches and practiced in front of the mirror until there were no shortcomings.

2. Practice the tone of voice. Speech is like a composition, with the breath as the main focus, and the penetration of the breath means that the speech can be long or short, and the sound is suitable for both high and low voices.When it comes to the most important point, throwing the ground makes the sound of gold and stone.When it comes to Pingyan, fearing that the listeners will get tired, it is advisable to quote stories from the sidelines, mixed with humorous words, and raise the spirit of the audience.Misunderstandings and absurd theories, once returned to the right, always run through, not fragmented, turbulent, turbulent, and follow things in a hurry.When I was in the United States when I was young, I listened to famous speeches, and I was concise and contemplative about someone's uniqueness. After a long time, it naturally became a speech for one person.

As we know, Mr. Sun Wen is a professional agitator who started out with speaking and writing, and spent most of his life raising money—that is, persuading everyone to hand over their money to him. In this way, compared to the great Confucian Wang Kaiyun and his disciple Yang Du, Mr. Sun Wen is a real political strategist.Mr. Xishen's life is exactly the same as that of Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Warring States period. He traveled among various countries and lobbied the princes with his superb eloquence.If there must be any difference between the two, it is that the scope of Su Tai's activities is narrow, limited to the six eastern countries. Probably because the means of transportation were not developed at that time, Su Qin went out to lobby and only had bullock carts to ride, and the speed dragged him down.Mr. Sun Wen, on the other hand, uses the entire earth as a battlefield, lobbying anyone he can meet, and persuading them to support him.In addition, Mr. Sun Wen's vertical and horizontal history has been smeared with a layer of modern political color, so his career is bigger than that of the ancestor of the vertical and horizontal family, Su Qin.

Now we can finally be sure that Yuan Shikai is a doer, while Mr. Sun Wen is a strategist.So what is the difference between a doer and a strategist? Doers think about things, and strategists think about people. In fact, Yuan Shikai started his career by thinking about things. When he was training in Xiaozhan, he had to think about all the military ideas that could be used for reference. Without thinking about these, there would be no Beiyang military group.On the other hand, Mr. Sun Wen devotes himself to thinking about people, and believes that only people are the most important thing, because things are done by people, whether they are good or bad, and the effect depends on people. If you think about people thoroughly, things will be done. Understood.

Compare, who is better, Sun Wen or Yuan Shikai? Of course it was Sun Wen. When Yuan Shikai was thinking about how to do things well, Mr. Sun Wen was thinking about him.Yuan Shikai thought that things could not be done well because he had not studied thoroughly enough, but Mr. Sun Wen thought that it was because you were wrong, that it was impossible to find the right way to do things.As long as I kill you, it's OK. Taiwan published the "Chronicles of the Fathers of the Nation". There is a passage in it, which is the scene of the meeting between Sun and Yuan on August 24, 1912. This passage vividly depicts Yuan Shikai who was thinking about things, and Mr. Sun Wen who was thinking about Yuan Shikai:

Mr. Liu stayed in Beijing for about one month, and met with Yuan thirteen times. Each conversation lasted from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. or 12:00 p.m.Every time they meet, Mr. Zhi, Yuan Shikai and Liang Shiyi will withdraw from the attendants.What we talk about is all national affairs, Chinese and foreign situations, including railways, industry, diplomacy, and military issues.The surface is very smooth.Mr. Yuan inspected Yuan's ambitions, but he still respected them to reassure him. The characteristic of this passage is that Mr. Sun Wen is superior to Yuan Shikai's head a priori, and Mr. Sun is given the power to look down on Yuan Shikai, rather than two people who are equal in personality.This transcendental perspective of description appropriately differentiates the thinking orientations of the two.

Simply put, Chinese society is like this, that is, some people think about things, and some people think about people.The person who thinks about things will eventually be considered by the person who thinks about people, and the person who thinks about people will eventually become the winner in this world, because he is thinking about you. So the most common saying we say now is: be a person first, and then do things.What does this sentence mean? It is to be a person who has not been pondered by people who are pondering. If you can’t do this, you can’t do anything, because you have already been pondered by others.

The last question, how to distinguish between those who think about things and those who think about people? It's very simple, look at the other party's thinking orientation, if the other party's thinking is not a priori, overrides others out of thin air, only focuses on specific affairs and does not pay attention to people, this is a person who thinks about things.On the contrary, their thinking orientation is only aimed at people, lacks the awareness of equality, and judges those around them condescendingly. This kind of person is the seedling of a political strategist.
