The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 44

On October 10, Hu Hanmin was released from house arrest, went to Shanghai, and lived in Sun Ke's house on Molière Road (now Xiangshan Road).Sun Ke returned to Shanghai from Guangzhou and lived in another house.Soon, Hu Hanmin asked Huang Jusu to invite Wang Yaqiao, held his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Wang Jiu is a chivalrous man. He dares to draw his sword to help the Han people when he sees injustice. I admire the Han people very much."

Talking about his life under house arrest for more than eight months, Hu Hanmin was filled with emotion.He opened the "chatter box" and introduced:
When I returned to Shuanglong Lane from Tangshan, the people who lived downstairs were all military and police officers sent to monitor me. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek was very clear about these things.On July 7, they moved to Xiangpuying, which was the residence of Yongzhi (Kong Xiangxi).At that time, the air outside was very tight, and there was talk of the Northern Expedition in the southwest. Yongzhi repeatedly persuaded me to move, saying that the place over there was bigger.By mid-September, Zhenru (that is, Chen Mingshu), Puquan (that is, Zhang Ji), and Zhimin (that is, Cai Yuanpei) traveled to Guangdong and Ningxia to advocate some peace talks. On October 13, Zhenru came to my place, and he said: "Because the Guangdong side insisted that Mr. Li's freedom must be restored first, Jieshi arrived in Shanghai, and then negotiated a peace agreement. Therefore, he has intentionally sent him to Shanghai. I think he should leave quickly." , I will change my mind sooner or later."

On the morning of October 10th, Zhenru, Puquan and others came again, and they said, "Jieshi wants to see Mr.." I said, "I can go to see him, and the courtesy is reciprocal. He was here last time, so I should go this time. "So He Zhenru and others agreed to meet with Chiang Kai-shek at the Prime Minister's Cemetery at 12 pm on the 13th.

On the afternoon of the 13th, I was accompanied by Zhenru and Puquan to the cemetery. I met Chiang Kai-shek and exchanged pleasantries for a while. It was after September 20th. Chiang Kai-shek asked me how to deal with Japan. Talk about relying on the League of Nations.After talking for about 14 minutes, we said goodbye.After this discussion, it was decided to go to Shanghai by train early on the [-]th. Chiang Kai-shek also said: "I was wrong in everything in the past, please forgive me, Mr. Hu."

On the morning of the 14th, many people went to Yongzhi's house to see me off, and Chiang Kai-shek also came. When we met, he said: "Please forgive me, Mr. Hu. What I did was wrong before. If something happens in the future, I have to ask Mr. Hu." Advise."

I said: "Otherwise, you said that everything in the past was wrong, which is wrong again. You should check out which things in everything in the past were wrong, and then correct yourself. If you can correct your mistakes, it is not wrong." ; If everything is wrong and there is no way to change it, this is a big mistake.”

"According to Mr. Hu, what was wrong?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with a sly smile.

"The biggest mistake in the past was that everyone did not fight for the party, the country, and the revolution; they only worked hard in the struggle for private rights. The party was not united in this way, and the party's strength could not be displayed. The entire Chinese revolution also failed completely because of this. Everyone has a share in this kind of mistake. After Mr. passed away, you are very clear, from now on..." Just as I was going to continue to express my opinion and ask Chiang Kai-shek to pay attention, Jingjiang was probably afraid that I would say something wrong, so he looked around As far as he is concerned, he said loudly: "The weather is cool today. Mr. Hu will go to Shanghai. He will feel more comfortable on the long journey." He also said, "It's getting late, we should start." It's late for a meeting, I'm leaving first."

"'Caotou Jiang' has no rules and does whatever he wants. It is impossible to reason with such a dictator; The way of a person is to punish the person. Don't play cards according to the rules, and fight with your life! Mr. Hu, I, Wang Jiu, have been in the world for many years. 'Grass Head Jiang', I swear not to be human!"

"Mr. Wang Jiu, as far as I know, you and Zhenru (that is, Chen Mingshu) are good friends who are sincere and sincere. He gave me a detailed introduction to your situation, and I appreciate your character. Let's do it, now that the country is in crisis, Let's put personal honor and disgrace aside first, and give him a chance to correct himself and be a man again. Let's think about the matter of 'weeding' from a long-term perspective." While comforting, Hu Hanmin took out a piece of rice paper, handed it to Wang Yaqiao, and said "Recently, the Japanese army committed crimes in the Northeast, burning, killing and looting, but the national army did not make any resistance. This is tantamount to dedicating the great rivers and mountains in the Northeast to the foreign powers. What a crime! I heard that Mr. Wang Jiu also likes to write poems, This recent work is given to you, please criticize and correct me a lot.”

Wang Yaqiao unfolded the rice paper, and a scent of ink came to his nostrils, and the delicate Han Li came into view.In "He Dachang Mid-Autumn Festival Feeling Fu Ten Uses Side Rhymes", Hu Hanmin wrote:

Although Xinshuo has changed,
Don't remember the old energy saving?
One day there is a circular eclipse,

Everyone is happy.

How far is my way to the south?
The big trouble is really in the north.

The dragon is out of control,
Snakes and hogs eat the country.

Shen Zimi has merit,
The day of fried beans is pressing.

My lips and teeth are dead,
The sky and the sun are overwhelming.

At that time, rabbit toads were raised,
Jing Wen is too benevolent.

"Mr. Hu is indeed a big writer, and his words are extraordinary, especially 'the big trouble is really in the north', 'snakes and pigs eat the country', hit the nail on the head, and said what is in my heart. From now on, as long as it is for the country and the people, you In other words, my king dares to go up Jiudao Mountain, dare to break into the sea of ​​fire, and I will not hesitate."

"Mr. Wang Jiu speaks quickly and dares to act. He is worthy of being a hero of Jianghuai!"

On October 10, at the residence of Hu Hanmin, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei met to negotiate.Six years later, the three giants of the Kuomintang met again to discuss reunification.After everyone was seated, everyone looked at me and I looked at him, with big eyes and small eyes, not knowing who should speak first.

After a stalemate for a long time, Hu Hanmin was the oldest, so he asked Wang Jingwei to speak first.

Wang Jingwei stood up, cleared his throat, and said: "Comrades have been isolated for many years, causing conflicts in action, but it is for the public, not for selfishness. This time, on behalf of the comrades in Guangdong, we will go to the national crisis to solve everything."

Chiang Kai-shek went on to say: "I am also like what Mr. Jingwei said, public and selfless.... All comrades are seniors in the party. I am a backward person and have always obeyed my seniors. This time, the comrades agreed on the method, and Mr. Fan Hu and Mr. Wang agreed. I agree to do everything; if I don’t do it, I will be severely punished.”

Three hours later, the talks did not achieve any substantive results. Chiang Kai-shek smiled and shook hands with Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei to say goodbye. Then, he took a bus to Longhua Airport and flew back to Nanjing.From then on, Hu Hanmin and Chiang Kai-shek went their separate ways and never met again during their lifetime.That night, Chiang Kai-shek was restless and could not sleep. He wrote indignantly in his "Diary":
The Guangdong side put forward conditions with the intention of overthrowing the current central organization and denying the fundamental laws and regulations of the government, but Zhantang insisted on it. ... Why is the exhibition hall deliberately making trouble?It will put Yu in a dilemma.Husband Ruobai neither dared to take on this important task of state affairs, nor was he willing to retreat in the face of difficulties, let alone ignore it, it is really painful!despicable!hateful!ridiculous!Poor too!

The peace talks between Ning and Guangdong continued intermittently, and the smell of gunpowder was quite strong.Hu Hanmin did not change his true nature, resolutely opposed to compromise with Japan, and opposed the Nationalist government's request for a League of Nations to resolve the issue of Japanese aggression.He criticized the government: "Continuing to use the 'Three No's' of no way, no responsibility, and no resistance as the only policy to deal with Japan will lead to the end of the country." He further pointed out that "the League of Nations is just a theater for some imperialists. , is just a slaughterhouse for some weak and small nations in the world, the League of Nations will not have justice, will not have justice, and will not have the ability itself.”

On November 11, accompanied by Hu Mulan and secretary Wang Yangchong, Hu Hanmin, Wu Chaoshu, Ma Chaojun and others left Shanghai on the same boat for Hong Kong.Because of financial constraints, before leaving, he specially invited Wang Yaqiao to dinner, said goodbye, and asked for a loan by the way, and Wang Yaqiao readily agreed.The next day, Wang Yaqiao asked Zheng Baozhen to send 25 yuan.When Hu Hanmin wanted to issue an IOU, Zheng Baozhen said, "When you came, Brother Nine had told you that the 1 yuan is his filial piety to you."

"Then... that's fine. Please tell Mr. Wang Jiu that he is welcome to come to Hong Kong."

On December 12th, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to step down for the second time under the strong request of generals from Guangdong and Guangxi due to internal and external difficulties.On August 15 four years ago, under the coercion of Wang Jingwei, Feng Yuxiang and others, Chiang Kai-shek went to the field for more than four months.After stepping down this time, the Kuomintang forces in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou immediately held the First Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee in Nanjing and decided to reorganize the Nationalist Government.Soon, Sun Ke’s cabinet with Southwestern factions as the mainstay was established in Nanjing, and the extraordinary meeting of the Kuomintang in Guangzhou and the National Government announced the cancellation. Starting from January 8, 13, the Southwest Executive Department of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang and the Southwest Political Affairs Committee were established in Guangzhou. Since then, the "Southwest faction" has since stepped onto the Chinese political stage and become an important anti-Chiang town. Hu Hanmin has been regarded as the spiritual leader of the "Southwest faction".
