Chapter 66 Section 8 The Political Logic of the Revolution

The revolutionary party finally came together with the emperor. It sounds weird and bizarre, but it is nothing more than a normal thing.Gai therefore completely conforms to the political logic of the revolution. The logic is that, as far as the revolutionary party is concerned, its ultimate political goal is power. At this time, the royal family has lost power, and power is in the hands of Yuan Shikai.As far as the royal family is concerned, they lack perceptual knowledge of Sun Wen, but they hate Yuan Shikai deeply, and it was Yuan Shikai who pushed them down from the throne.Therefore, Sun Wen and the little emperor Xuantong must be in the same camp and face the same enemy.

First, the retired Prince Regent, Zaifeng, and Sun Wen visited each other, and they have admired each other for a long time.Then the retired Empress Dowager Longyu ordered to open the gate of the Summer Palace to welcome Sun Wen. On September 12 of that year, Bei Zi Pu Lun hosted a banquet for revolutionary leaders Sun Wen and Huang Xing in Jinyu Alley. Afterwards, with the Tongmenghui and members of the three eastern provinces as the main body, the United Republican Party was formed, with Sun Wen and Huang Xing as directors, and its headquarters was located in the west of Daya Beitou Road outside Xuanwumen.In addition, the elders of the royal family were recruited with high salaries to open the "Dingyi" newspaper in Ludong. The actual job was to compile Qing history.

The revolutionary party and the royal family got together, and the people of the country were dazzled by the sight, so some good people spread rumors about it: To protect the emperor in Ludong and to revolutionize Luxi is really incompatible like ice, coal, water and fire! But how do the people know that the goal of the revolution has never been the emperor, but power.Losing power, the emperor becomes a revolutionary party; gaining power, the revolutionary party immediately becomes emperor. Founded in June 1912, the United Republican Party was little more than a bunch of people sticking together and enjoying a rare moment of peace.But when the Kuomintang turned out to be born, the whole of China changed greatly.

The Kuomintang, created by Song Jiaoren himself, is against the disorganized system of various parties nowadays, and has distinct modern political characteristics.It is also strictly different from Sun Wen's most proficient Jianghu organization-in fact, Song Jiaoren clearly excluded the Jianghu Society from the party as early as the founding of the Kuomintang.And this means that it is difficult for Sun Wen to have a decisive influence in the Kuomintang, because his supporters are all excluded from the party. It was only in the era of construction that the paleness and treachery of Sun Wen's revolutionary theory became apparent.What is needed to build a modern political party is not empty slogans, let alone complicated political goals.To create from nothing, what is needed is not the passion of revolutionaries, but the rationality of builders.

On August 25, 1912, the Chinese Nationalist Party was established in Beijing. Sun Wen gave a speech at the meeting and drifted away. When Sun Wen left, something unexpected happened.A woman rushed up to the podium suddenly and slapped Song Jiaoren hard. Snapped! Song Jiaoren's cheeks suddenly swelled up.All the participants were stunned. Who is this woman?
