Chapter 007
"Factories are everywhere, machines are roaring, workers are busy, high-rise buildings are everywhere, and trains and ships are traveling across the wilderness, rivers and seas."
This is a moving sight.
Sun Yat-sen would get excited every time he described this scene of China's future to the public. He was too busy as interim president before, but now he has resigned. He has asked himself to be the railway supervisor, and he will work hard to build 100,000 miles of railways.
On the third day after abdicating Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen began a large-scale nationwide speech tour to promote his great construction plan. He traveled to many provinces and cities, whether it was cities or rural areas, factories, ports or railway lines, leaving behind
He conducted investigative visits and inspection visits.
This revolutionary father, who has been in exile overseas for a long time and is known as the "Hawaiian Chinese", has never been so close to his motherland and people. His speeches on "rebuilding our country through industry and commerce" in the north and south of the country always make the hearts of the Chinese people swell.
In Wuchang, facing the crowds at the open-air venue, Sun Yat-sen looked at the rolling Yangtze River not far away and proposed the idea of building a Yangtze River bridge and digging a Yangtze River tunnel, and proposed building the world's largest and highest dam on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
As soon as he finished speaking, cheers of "Long live the President" resounded throughout Wuchang City.
Just when people thought that Sun Yat-sen's next stop would be Hunan and Guangdong, unexpectedly, Sun Yat-sen suddenly left Wuchang by boat and headed for Shanghai. It seemed that his inspection was over.
After waking up, Sun Yat-sen opened the velvet floor-to-ceiling curtains, faced the spring sun with southern characteristics, and breathed in the fresh and moist air. Although in his heart he was still reluctant to give up the position of the President, and he still wanted to be the President.
He was a little heartbroken when his position was handed over to Yuan Shikai. Moreover, he tried every means to evade Yuan Shikai, who was actually taking over.
However, what Sun Yat-sen did not expect was that almost on the night when the revolutionaries forced him to resign as interim president in a semi-forced manner, he felt as if he was relieved both physically and mentally. He actually fell asleep as the first interim president since then.
A peaceful and sweet sleep.
From then on, there was no need to worry about the financial poverty of the Provisional Government anymore. There was no need to be desperate because of the internal and external difficulties of the Provisional Government. There was no need to worry about the hordes of soldiers everywhere in Nanjing, clamoring for payment of unpaid wages.
Already.
"Without an official position, you feel lighter!"
Looking at the beautiful scenery in Hartung Garden outside the window, Sun Zhongwen couldn't help but let out a sigh. If he felt anything after stepping down as interim president, it would be that he felt relaxed and relaxed.
Only when people are relaxed and happy can they be in the mood to enjoy mountains and rivers. On the third day after Sun Yat-sen resigned as interim president, he took Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei and several others on a tour around the southern provinces.
While investigating the actual situation, he promoted his "people's livelihood doctrine" and was warmly received by officials from various provinces and warmly welcomed by the people.
Of course, this is done, on the one hand, to appreciate the wonderful land of the motherland, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for future elections. Now Yuan Shikai is also only the interim president. In the future of parliamentary politics, it is still unknown who will lose and who will win.
In the past month, Sun Yat-sen led Hu Hanmin and his party to Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, and almost half of southern China. It was not until this time that Sun Yat-sen truly appreciated the great rivers and rivers of the motherland.
Personal experience of mountains and rivers.
The reason why Sun Yat-sen had such feelings and emotions was that due to the revolution, most of them had been in exile abroad for a long time. They did not understand the specific situation in China, and they did not have the opportunity or mood to browse the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
During this month of browsing the mountains and rivers, Sun Yat-sen became extremely interested in transportation. The reason why Sun Yat-sen became extremely interested in transportation was because he discovered an astonishing miracle during these months of inspecting various provinces.
That is, wherever there is smooth traffic, the economy is extremely prosperous and the local finances are relatively abundant compared to other places.
He had originally planned to visit Shanghai for another two months before returning to Shanghai, but he suddenly returned to Shanghai three days ago. He even deliberately laid down on a map and drew up a plan to build a major national railway line.
"Zhantang, look at this map!"
Before breakfast was served, Sun Yat-sen spread out on the dining table the "China Railway Main Line Plan" that he had drawn overnight. For him, what he cared about most was the idea of building a railway on Chinese soil.
"If this plan is realized within ten years and 100,000 to 200,000 miles of railways are built, China will be prosperous and powerful!"
Facing this hastily prepared planning map, Sun Yat-sen seemed somewhat ambitious. In the past month, he had consulted railway engineering information and drawn the railway construction draft himself. In his opinion, this map
There is another effect.
"Zhantang, look at this report!"
As he spoke, he took out the newspaper he had read from Wuchang.
"mt=((ms)t+(me)t)/z."
When Sun Yat-sen spit out this national power equation, his face was filled with admiration. Who among the Chinese people today does not know this national power equation, and countless people in Europe and the United States have used this national power equation to calculate the national power of all countries in the world. The national power equation
The accuracy is beyond anyone's imagination.
"Although Li Zhiyuan is a technical expert, he is also good at economics. Otherwise, it may be difficult to compile this national power equation. He wants to return to China to invest in industry, and he mainly focuses on steel, and building railways is inseparable from steel. Railways,
Steel is a match made in heaven, and this plan will definitely win the support of Li Zhiyuan. If Li Zhiyuan agrees, it will be possible to achieve success by building 100,000 miles of railway in ten years!"
The smug Sun Yat-sen pointed to a sentence in the newspaper and said.
"In today's steel world, if we want to build a country on the earth, we must focus on manufacturing, and if we focus on manufacturing, we must focus on steel! I really like it! It's a pity that he and I were only separated by one night in New York at that time! Otherwise, we were separated by just one night in New York.
…”
He sighed, but his face showed joy again.
"But that's fine. Now that he has returned to China, this ship must be coming to Shanghai. When Li Zhiyuan arrives in Shanghai, I must visit him personally..."
"Sir, the Japanese newspaper mentioned that Li Zhiyuan had already disembarked from Hawaii. It seems..."
As soon as the words came to his lips, Hu Hanmin still swallowed them back. No matter the north or the south, it was "Li" now. The situation in the north and the south was stirred up by this "Li God of Wealth". It was because of the money in Li Zhiyuan's pocket.
silver.
"oh?"
Sun Yat-sen, who seemed to have forgotten the news, was stunned for a moment and then spoke.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. He is right to postpone returning to China. In this way, I will send a telegram to the comrade in Hawaii, ask for his address, and send him this railway plan and a charter with my ideas. He will
I want to build a steel mill and I want to build a railway. How could this be a match made in heaven..."
"I'm afraid that Li Zicheng is someone who is greedy for power and money..."
At this moment, a voice interrupted Sun Yat-sen. Hu Hanmin looked along the voice and saw a handsome young man walking in.
Wang Jingwei walked into the room and said directly. His words only made Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin turn their eyes to him. This kind of attention made him quite satisfied. He had said this to Sun Yat-sen two months ago.
"You are not obsessed with the position of president, are you!" The young man who alluded to his greed for power and forced him to resign mentioned Li Zicheng with contempt on his face.
"If he goes directly to the capital, I'm afraid he will be used by the Yuan family!"
"Zhao Ming, don't make rash decisions in everything!"
"Mr. Zhantang, how can this be an arrogant judgment? The Li family is a merchant. Businessmen value profits. If the Yuan family promises heavy profits..."
Just when Wang Jingwei was about to talk, a maid came in holding a thick stack of newspapers. When the newspaper was placed on the dining table, Hu Hanmin glanced at the newspaper habitually, stood up suddenly, and raised his hand
Holding the newspaper, I muttered for a long time and was speechless.
"First...sir! Li Zhiyuan has gone to the capital!"
Go to the capital!
The train was spewing thick smoke as it raced along the Jiaoji Line. Sitting on the sofa by the window in the luxury carriage, with the window half-open and letting the wind blow against him, Li Zicheng felt his heart surge with passion as he looked at the fields outside the train.
.
When leaving Qingdao, Yang Du had quietly "spoiled" the news that he was returning to China and heading to the capital. He was building momentum for himself, but it was not for "himself". As a Tang monk, I don't know how much he was confused.
human mind.
"Tang Monk Meat!"
Being clear about the situation he is about to face makes Li Zicheng more clearly and deeply aware of what lies ahead in the future. He also clearly knows the path he should choose, even though he knows that the future road will never be as smooth as he imagined.
But while breathing the air of China, I am very excited that I can show off my skills in the future.
If you want to eat my flesh, you must first see if your teeth are good! I will give you my flesh, but you must at least spit out a few buckets of my blood!
Facing Kuang Shi beside the railway, Li Zicheng muttered silently in his heart.
No matter how many setbacks you encounter in the future, no matter how many people oppose you, you must stick to your decision and follow this path to the end...
