Chapter 13 Section 3 The Fake Foreign Devil Tang Shaoyi

The most awkward and awkward person for Sun Wen to take the presidency is Tang Shaoyi, the envoy from the north. Speaking of Tang Shaoyi, he was the earliest child of the Qing Empire to study in the United States. During his stay in the United States, he was nicknamed "Ajax". He lived next door to the great American writer Mark Twain and often held parties with Mark Twain. His daughter tap-danced, and as a result she learned the ideas of Western capitalism. The imperial court was aware of this and worried that the US imperialists would compete with us for the next generation, so they ordered the young children to return to the country.

After returning to China, Tang Shaoyi once went to North Korea Customs to take up a post, carried a shell gun, and joined forces with Yuan Shikai to fight against the five Japanese masters. He is a Chinese hero that the Japanese are extremely envious of.This time he served as the emissary for the peace talks between the North and the South. The imperial court had already drawn up a draft of the 22-article agreement, calling for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.But Tang Shaoyi didn't even look at it, and just threw the court's draft into the wastebasket. At that time, Hong Kong's "Huazi Daily" revealed: Before leaving, Yuan Shikai called Tang Shaoyi over and told him: Xiao Tang, please remember. Our bottom line is that we cannot make any concessions except for democracy. Any condition can be compromised.

Tang Shaoyi said excitedly: "OK, you can just look at mine..." While speaking, Tang Shaoyi cut off the braids on her head with a click, and put on a suit, tie, French leather hat, and woolen coat.Seeing this, Yuan Shikai exclaimed in surprise: What a fake foreign devil... I don't understand, the current situation is so critical, why is this Tang Shaoyi so excited? Not only Yuan Shikai was stunned, but when the representatives from the north and the south met, all the people present were shocked. The negotiator in the south was Wu Tingfang, an old diplomat. He used to work as an apartment in Shanghai, but the governor of the Wuchang Revolutionary Army insisted on hiring him with a high salary and asking him to come out to negotiate.The person who went to invite was Chen Qimei, the leader of the Youth Gang. At that time, Chen Qimei came to the door with a business card. When she mentioned this, Wu Tingfang was shocked.

You know, Wu Tingfang and Chen Qimei have never known each other and never interacted with each other. At this time, Chen Qimei came to the door suddenly and made such a big request. How could Wu Tingfang dare to agree?Reject immediately. Seeing that Wu Tingfang was not going out of the mountain, Chen Qimei couldn't explain to everyone when she went back here. In desperation, she knelt down outside Wu Tingfang's door with a plop.If Wu Tingfang didn't come out to negotiate, he wouldn't get up. This is the reason we mentioned earlier that after the mysterious death of the hero Huo Yuanjia, Chen Qimei did not say to find a way to find out the matter, but was unable to kneel outside Wu Tingfang's door.

With such a big man kneeling outside her house for no reason and unable to get up, Wu Tingfang had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to negotiate.When he appeared on the stage, his dress was in sharp contrast with Tang Shaoyi.Tang Shaoyi was dressed as a standard fake foreign devil, while Wu Tingfang was dressed in a long robe and mandarin jacket. The hearts of the people present kept drumming: Which of these two live treasures represents the revolutionary party?Why is it that the special envoy from the imperial court is dressed more powerfully than the revolutionaries? Tang Shaoyi first expressed his stance: republican democracy, we people from Beijing have no objection.

Wu Tingfang: ...It's good, it's good...Then what else are we talking about? Tang Shaoyi: Let’s talk about the Qing court. If there were no Qing court, we would republic immediately, but the problem is that the Qing court is here, you can’t pretend not to see it, so we have to... Tang Shaoyi hadn't finished speaking here, when a big news suddenly broke out in Jianghu, that Sun Wen had taken him by surprise, caught him off guard, sat on the throne of the President, and organized a temporary presidential palace in Nanjing.At that time, Tang Shaoyi was dumbfounded: This, this... How can I explain this to Yuan Shikai?

At this time Yuan Shikai had sent a congratulatory message: It is impossible to predict the national referendum on the issue of the monarchy and the republic, and I dare not hear about the provisional government. On that day, 47 Beiyang soldiers, headed by Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, jointly energized and wanted to fight the Nanjing government to the death. Facing Beiyang's provocation, Sun Wen responded with a contemptuous sneer. It came just in time, the revolutionary army was about to launch a northern expedition.
