Chapter 176 Chapter 21 Do not marry a wife and do not eat meat

Sun Yat-sen's first thing after taking office as interim president was his attitude towards the current situation. The so-called current situation refers to whether to continue peace talks with Beiyang Yuan Shikai, or to send troops to start a fight? If there was a fight, it was obvious that Sun Yat-sen could not go to Beijing alone to face Yuan Shikai one-on-one. To do this, the provinces had to provide food and guns to form a coalition. But will the representatives of the provinces agree to this condition? Even if they promised, they couldn't do it. At this time, Ma Chaojun, an overseas Chinese death squad who had defended the Hanyang Arsenal for three days and three nights on the front line in Wuchang, rushed to Nanjing and met with the interim President Sun Yat-sen:

...While talking freely, Huang Keqiang, as the Minister of the Army, came to visit the Prime Minister in the uniform of an army general and a sword.After I saw him, I thought of the painful memory of guarding the Hanyang Arsenal, and I felt angry. I scolded him and said: You have become a high-ranking official, and you have risen so fast. You want us to guard the Hanyang Arsenal. But slipped to Shanghai.Thinking of the heavy sacrifices of comrades in Guangdong, I wanted to use my old fists, but I gave up after the Prime Minister resolved it. Ma Chaojun first went to Huang Xing to settle the old score, and then got back to business:

... It was time for peace negotiations between the North and the South, and representatives of the two sides were discussing in Shanghai.I asked the Prime Minister: Why not take advantage of the new vigor of the revolutionary army to completely wipe out the corrupt and evil forces in the north, so as to get it done once and for all?Talking about peace today will inevitably cause trouble.The Prime Minister said: I agree with you exactly.But now the governors of the provinces mostly refuse to allow military force and advocate peace talks. The senators elected by the provinces also think that it is not appropriate to use troops and plead for the people.If I insist on using troops, I am quite suspected of being greedy for salary.Since everyone thinks so, what else can I say?

Looking at this record, it turns out that everyone really didn't want to fight at that time. But Sun Yat-sen said that if he had to fight, he would be "suspected of being greedy for salary and position". Where did he start with this? This matter, the old revolutionary Wu Yuzhang, mentioned it in his memoirs: ...Although British imperialism also had some relations with Mr. Sun Yat-sen, this shows its treachery even more.Precisely because the Chinese and foreign reactionaries succeeded in collusion and unanimously oppressed to make peace, Mr. Sun Yat-sen opposed the idea of ​​peace negotiation, which was criticized by most powerful figures in the Nanjing Provisional Government at that time.Wang Jingwei even said to Mr. Sun Yat-sen: You do not agree with the peace talks, is it because you are reluctant to bear the president?Surrounded by all sides, Mr. Sun Yat-sen no longer insisted on seeing each other...

It turned out that this was the case. If the peace talks continued, Sun Yat-sen would have to step down and let Yuan Shikai be the president.And if Yuan Shikai's ass is not allowed to touch the president's chair, it will be easy to handle, just continue beating.But even the party member Wang Jingwei was not happy about this situation. Mr. Sun Yat-sen wanted to fight, but no one could fight. People die in war, and many, many people die.So the ancients said, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up.But at this time, the myriad bones don't want to wither. So what do you guys want to do?

Ma Chaojun recalled: At that time, Li Shizeng, Cai Yuanpei, Wu Zhihui and others initiated the "Six Meetings" organization in Tianjin. Its creed was: (1) Don't be an official. (2) Not to be an MP. (3) Improper military police. (4) Do not believe in religion. (5) Do not eat meat. (6) No marriage.Zhang Taiyan organized the Federation of the Republic of China separately, and he also firmly opposed the war. The Prime Minister was very indignant.But due to the situation, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he had to give way to Yuan Shikai... Regarding this six meeting, it is really incomprehensible, they actually advertise that they don't get together with their wives.Boys don't marry wives anymore, so what should girls do?It's nothing more than self-promotion, but it has even gone to the point of "the Prime Minister is very indignant".What is going on here?

The old man Wu Yuzhang also mentioned this mysterious organization, saying: … Li Shizeng, Cai Yuanpei, Wang Jingwei and other special envoys on the ship returning to Nanjing from Beijing once organized the "Six Meetings", with the purpose of not being an official, not being a member of parliament, not whoring, not gambling, not taking concubines, and not smoking opium Phase advertised.Some people even add not to drink alcohol and not to eat meat, which is called the eight no-isms... This makes it clear. It turns out that Liu Hui did not say that he would not marry a wife, but that he would not have mistresses.Wang Jingwei is a member of the Six Clubs, if he dares not to marry a wife, Chen Bijun can't beat him to death.

This six will not, to put it bluntly, it is just one sentence: stop making trouble, go home and live your own life.This runs counter to what Mr. Sun Yat-sen hoped.The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades will stop whoring, gambling, and mistresses. Does this make sense?
