Chapter 68 Backbone - Not Allying With The Devil

In 1932, Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government, came to Xiamen. The leaders of the Xiamen Kuomintang often complained to Lin Sen, saying that Xu Chuncao resisted the party's leadership, which made Xiamen unable to develop party affairs, and asked Lin Sen to take measures to solve the problem.Lin Senyuan met Xu Chuncao, and sent Ye Duxing to invite Xu Chuncao to his hotel for a talk.Xu Chuncao asked Ye Duxing: "What did Zichao (Lin Sen) ask me to do?" Mr. Ye said, "Probably because of the construction union issue. People sued him. Zichao wanted to talk to you about this issue. I always hope that the construction labor union will register with the party headquarters and accept the party’s leadership.” Xu replied, “Brother Du Xing, you and I have nothing to say, you go back and tell Zichao that those who do not resist will sever the entire Northeast to Japan. Chairman of the Ju government, I didn’t hear you say the right thing. Now that I, Xu Chuncao, run a public organization and haven’t registered with the party headquarters, you, Lin Zichao, will have trouble with me. I will never go to see him. As for the issue of registration and filing, my The opinion is: the people oppose tyranny, there is no need to register with the government. Mr. Sun Yat-sen opposed Yuan Shikai, I have not heard that he went to Yuan Shikai to file a report." Here he practiced his often quoted motto: "If you do not ally with the devil, Do not high-five evil."

After the Japanese occupied Beiping, they tried to force Wu Peifu out of the mountain by means of threats and lures, but Wu refused.Doihara, the secret service minister of the Japanese base camp, was very annoyed and took tough measures to force Wu Peifu to hold a press conference.At the reception, Wu Peifu first wrote a long couplet by himself: "When you are proud, you are innocent, you are not afraid of death, you don't accumulate money, you drink and compose poems, and you are still a scholar; Hug the urn in the garden, really disarm and return to the field.” Then Wu said to the Chinese and foreign reporters present: “I think there are only three prerequisites for talking about peace between China and Japan today: first, Japan’s unconditional and complete withdrawal of troops; second, the Republic of China should maintain territorial peace Third, Japan should take the Nationalist Government in Chongqing as the only object of negotiation.” Wu’s attitude made Japan feel embarrassed and ashamed.

After Japan invaded North China, Makoto Kita, the head of the secret service, thought that the bureaucratic warlords who lived in Pingjin were suitable for him when he thought about the establishment of the puppet regime in North China. He planned to use either Jin Yunpeng or Wu Peifu as the president. He served as the president and vice president, and Cao Rulin was the prime minister.After separate contacts, Jin Yunpeng thanked the Buddha with the words "I have been worshiping Buddha for a long time, but I have no intention of coming out to the world." Wu Peifu said: "I can't cooperate with the Kuomintang, but I can't govern the country under the protection of Japan. If I have to go out of the mountain, Japan must retreat. I will restore the legal order." Cao Rulin knew Makoto Kita and another special agent Doihara, and he neither dared to openly refuse to join the puppet organization, nor did he dare to add another layer of guilt to himself. Being in the opposition, supporting the establishment of a new regime", he dealt with Kita and others.When he was hesitating, Chiang Kai-shek wrote him a personal letter, said some words of encouragement to him, and asked him not to leave Beiping. Therefore, Cao Cai decided not to hold an actual position in the puppet government, but thought of "recovering the loss of his reputation in the evening." ".

When Venerable Xu Yun was running the Yunnan-Tibet Buddhist branch in Kunming, Yunnan Civil Affairs Chief Luo Rongxuan secretly visited the Venerable Venerable Master. Because hundreds of thousands of disciples took refuge in the Venerable Master, most of them made offerings to the Venerable Master. Luo confirmed from the Venerable Master that the Venerable Master had saved more than one million yuan , Then ask people for money.Xu Yun took Luo Rongxuan out of the room and into the main hall, pointed to the Bodhisattva and said: "If he asks how much money he will give you, I will give it to you no matter how much!"

In the autumn of 1930, a provincial government of the Kuomintang was reorganized. A Peking University student asked Mr. Cai Yuanpei to recommend him to Chiang Kai-shek, and asked his old classmates to call Mr. Cai to make it happen.Zheng Tianting remembered that Mr. Cai quickly called back, and there was only one sentence: "I don't grow the flame of the country." Shi Liangcai did the "Declaration", which was disliked by the government.It is said that Chiang Kai-shek once talked to Shi, and Chiang said: "Get me mad, I have 1 million soldiers under me!" Shi replied coldly: "I also have 1 million readers under me!" On the afternoon of November 13, 1934, Shi Liang Caiguo was assassinated by the Kuomintang military reunification agents at the age of 54.

Chen Bulei persuaded Xu Zhucheng to become an official and join the Kuomintang.Xu said: "Joining a political organization means that a woman decides to choose a partner. This is a lifelong event. I am not interested in politics, and I would like to be celibate." Shi Liangcai launched "Shenbao" and tried his best to make Li Liewen the editor-in-chief of the supplement "Free Talk" during the innovation period.Li invited progressive writers to write for "Free Talk", and Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Ba Jin, etc. often published works, forming a new fortress in the cultural world.Wu Xingya, the leader of the Kuomintang in Shanghai, and others jointly wrote a letter to Shi, requesting Li Liewen's replacement and recommending Zhang to replace him.History ignored it.Wu Xingya and others had no choice but to visit in person, and asked to replace Li face to face.Shi replied bluntly: "Thank you, gentlemen, for coming to teach "Free Talk". I don't think you may be willing to change "Free Talk" into "Not Free Talk". "Wu and others turned pale after hearing this.

Chiang Kai-shek once wanted to win over Wang Zaoshi for his own use. Through invitations from Li Liejun, a Kuomintang veteran from Wang's hometown in Jiangxi, and Zuo Shunsheng, a professor at the Central Political University and leader of the Youth Party, Wang Zaoshi knew that "it was nothing more than using high-ranking officials and generous salaries as bait." He wants me to use him." So he politely declined, and neither went to Lushan nor Nanjing.Jiang was not reconciled, and sent Liu Jianqun to Shanghai to try hard and soft to force Wang Zaoshi to submit.Hence the conversation, in which Liu threatened, "What's the use of buzzing mosquitoes? Just raise your hand and slap it." Wang replied, "It's every citizen's right to express opinions on state affairs."
