Chapter 149 Attachment-Rong Qing praises Yuan Shikai: Loyalty is still visible

In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 broke out.The Qing government was forced to appoint Yuan Shikai, issued an imperial edict against himself, banned the party, and dissolved the royal cabinet.At this time Yuan Shikai Sima Zhaozhi's heart was known to all passers-by, but Rong Qing praised him: "The spirit of loyalty can still be seen in the eyebrows." During the peace talks between the North and the South, Sun Yat-sen's government of the Republic of China had no intention of restraining Yuan Shikai. ", satirized Sun Yat-sen and said: "You don't agree with the peace negotiation, is it because you are reluctant to bear the president?"

Yuan Shikai invited Sun Yat-sen to Beijing and treated him with the grand etiquette of a president.More than a month, more than ten conversations.Every time Sun spoke, Yuan always echoed him with extraordinary humility.When Sun said that "the tiller will have his land", he agreed without hesitation. Sun became suspicious and asked Liang Shiyi. Liang pondered for a moment and replied: "Mr. There are small and medium landlords in the north, so the president advocates that the tiller should have his land, and the president doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it.” After hearing this, Sun suddenly dispelled his doubts about Yuan, and said to Yuan: “In ten years, the president must be the public. "I hope you will be president for ten years. Within ten years, I will build 250,000 miles of railways, and you will train five million soldiers."

Before his death, Song Jiaoren called Yuan Shikai and placed great expectations on him.Zhang Shizhao said that Song "didn't realize it until he died", and he really didn't understand the deep-rooted autocratic power represented by Yuan Shikai in China.When he was in Shanghai, Chen Qimei told him to beware of assassinations, and he laughed wildly and said: "Only revolutionaries can assassinate people, so why should we be afraid of them coming to assassinate us?" Many friends wrote to him asking him to pay more attention to safety, but he thought it was a rumor. Gu Hongming said at the Peking University professor meeting: "Now there is no emperor, the homework of ethics can be ignored." People think that he is retro and retro, and he is a conservative figure.When Zhang Xun was restored, Gu worked very hard in diplomacy. Liang Dunyan recommended him to be an external servant. Zhang Xun said: "Gu Hongming is too new to be a servant."

Fan Xudong started an industry and boycotted foreign goods. Although the economy was very difficult, he still attached great importance to workers' welfare facilities, such as running canteens, hospitals, primary schools, dormitories, and cram schools.Once President Li Yuanhong visited the factory and praised their workers' welfare, saying: "The steamed buns eaten by the workers are very white, just like the ones I eat." Xing Baozhai is Duan Qirui's servant, he doesn't take Duan's fortune very seriously, and often mentions in front of outsiders that he was a leader in Duan's father's army, and Duan was with him.At that time, Qirui had a runny nose all day long, which was quite unremarkable.Xing Baozhai really looked down on him, so he said: "What kind of young master are you! You don't like cleanliness at all." But Mr. Duan didn't change, Xing was very angry, so he said, "You are such a bird!" Mr. Xing said these things Some people got impatient and said, "Didn't you despise him? He is shaking the world now, but you still have to sell brooms on the street." This sentence blocked Xing Baozhai, so he could only stammer : "We didn't know he had this day! If we knew this, we should treat him better!"

In the winter of 1918, Li Dazhao and some people established the "Marxism Research Group" at Peking University. The first meeting was held in the Office of the Director of the Peking University Library in the Red Building on the beach.Cheng She and I also went to this meeting. After the meeting, he ran to the first dormitory (Beidadongzhai Beach) and threw his hat away, saying to a few acquaintances: "The Bolsheviks in China have held an inaugural meeting today. This doctrine is' I don’t agree with the doctrine that what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine.” He hasn’t attended since then.

In the winter of 1919, Mao Zedong worked at Peking University.In his spare time, he often asks university professors and student leaders for advice, but suffers from the humiliation of staring at him.Decades later, his memory is still fresh. He told people that not only student leaders of his age like Fu Sinian and Luo Jialun “didn’t have time to listen to a library assistant speak southern dialect”, but also university professors like Hu Shi. "Don't condescend to answer a little librarian." The "Golden Franc" case of Chief Justice Luo Wengan led to a crisis in Wang Chonghui's cabinet.On the eve of the resignation of this good man's cabinet, several important cabinet members from Wang Chonghui and below, such as Minister of Education Tang Erhe, Minister of Foreign Affairs Gu Weijun, Minister of the Interior Sun Danlin, and Minister of Transportation Gao Enhong, etc., gathered at Gu Weijun's home to discuss how to deal with Luo Wengan's arrest. Among them, Tang Erhe's attitude was the most violent, advocating the resignation of all to assist Roche.Wang and Gu were more gentle. Because Tang was a doctor of medicine, Wang said to Tang: "You are a doctor, and you only know how to save people. I am a politician, and my purpose is to save the country!"
