Chapter 174 Chapter 19 Don't Play Me Anymore

Yuan Shikai, who was racking his brains and fighting wits with the Qing court in Beijing, heard the news that Sun Yat-sen had been elected as the interim president of the Republic of China.He cried and said: Is there a mistake?It turns out that your southern army is playing with me, I, Yuan Shikai, is it that fun? Don't play with me anymore! Yuan Shikai issued an appeal of grief and indignation from his heart. Withdraw the peace talks group headed by Tang Shaoyi. Order Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army to advance immediately, take Wuchang recently, capture Fatty Li and torture him, and ask him why he wants to play with me!

A total of forty-seven Beiyang soldiers, led by Jiang Guiti, jointly signed a letter: They vowed to oppose the republic to the death and strongly demanded a constitutional monarchy. Beiyang is angry. If he strikes down with one blow, the whole world will be crushed. But the one who was more surprised than Yuan Shikai was Li Yuanhong from Wuchang. In the face of war and chaos, it is not an exaggeration to make such a contribution to give Yuan Shikai a great president.However, Sun Yat-sen suddenly snatched the throne of the interim president, which brought everything back to the original point.

But then again, you can't blame Sun Yat-sen for this matter. How could Sun Yat-sen have the nerve to refuse when the representatives of your 17 provinces voted for you?Sun Yat-sen's refusal to sit on the interim president's throne, wouldn't it cool the hearts of all the representatives? However, what were the representatives of the 17 provinces thinking in their heads? Why did they suddenly vote for Sun Yat-sen as the interim president at this critical moment? As expected? However, it was written in black and white in the history textbooks that the representatives of the provinces at that time were all the spokespersons of the bourgeoisie. They thought about one thing every day: usurping the fruits of the victory of the revolution.But now that the fruit is right in front of them, their brains are flooded suddenly, their nerves are short-circuited, and they insist on putting the fruit in Sun Yat-sen's job while keeping the fruit. Isn't this extremely weird?

Besides, everyone expects it. You must know that although Sun Yat-sen was the great leader of the Chinese revolution, he was brutally banned by the Qing court, and the scope of his activities was limited to overseas. People at home can only understand him from the Qing court's smear propaganda. No matter how ignorant people are, they will know that it is difficult for a person who has been banned and vilified to gain popularity in a short period of time, let alone get what he wants. Let's take a look at what those representatives who insisted on electing Sun Yat-sen as the interim president thought.

Wu Jinglian, then chairman of the Fengtian Consultative Council and representative of the three eastern provinces, explained why he voted for Sun Yat-sen in this way: …Mr. Sun Yat-sen heard about the Chinese revolution in the United States. The rebel army had captured Nanjing and returned to Shanghai.He negotiated with the party members and claimed that Iraq raised tens of millions of dollars in the United States and ten warships.If an interim government is organized in Ning, and Yi is appointed as the interim president, money and boats can be donated to the government.At this time, all parties are in the process of organizing a provisional government, and there is nothing they can do. Sun Yat-sen is the leader of the Chinese revolution. If Sun Yat-sen can take charge of the crisis, all parties agree, and the delegation of Shang also agrees.So the representatives of the provinces in Hubei were called back to Ning to jointly organize the government, and the representatives in Hubei negotiated with Li nearby.

what? What?Wu Jinglian said here that the reason why he voted for Sun Yat-sen was because Sun Yat-sen himself said that he got tens of millions of dollars and ten warships in the United States. As long as everyone voted for him, he would take out all the dollars and warships and contribute For the Chinese revolution, so Wu Jinglian voted for Sun Yat-sen. Oh, if this is the case, Sun Yat-sen can get the support of the United States, get tens of millions of dollars, and ten warships. Of course, he can fight Yuan Shikai for a while, so everyone can elect him as the interim president. However, did Sun Yat-sen bring back the US dollar warship?
