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

Chapter 68 Teacher Chiang Kai-shek Helped Greatly
One day in August, a thin old man with long hair and short beard walked into No. 8 Wanghe Tower, Qinhuai District, Nanjing.This person is Li Huaicheng, the principal of Nanjing Zhongying School, from Wuxi, Jiangsu.In the early years, he joined the League.After the failure of the Huanghuagang Uprising, he planned the Shanghai Uprising with Chen Yingshi and others; after the Revolution of 2, he studied anarchism with Wang Yaqiao and others and became close friends; President system", Li Huaicheng went to Guangzhou alone, and proposed to Sun Yat-sen to cancel the "seven president system".Soon after, Sun Yat-sen called the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Guangzhou Congress, formally resigning from the post of Chief Executive, and stating that he would not be responsible for the actions of the military government in the future.Later, Li Huaicheng was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to found the Navy together with Yang Hu. Because Chiang Kai-shek didn't want outsiders to intervene, he asked Yang Hu to make things difficult for him, making him a "superfluous person" with no power. He resigned in anger, returned to Zhongying School, and served as the principal again, hoping to "nurture talents at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain".He and Hua Kezhi and the others got along very well, and they belonged to the year-end friends who talked about everything.

"What's the matter, Kezhi? You are so young, why are you so downcast?" After entering the door, he saw Hua Kezhi, Zhang Yuhua and others sitting at the desk, all looking listless.

"Principal Li is here!" Hua Kezhi got up to say hello, and Sun Fengming quickly brought over a glass of boiled water.

This is a suite.The outer room is an office, and the inner room is a dormitory.The office is very simple, with a few desks and chairs, a newspaper folder, and a telephone. The wooden sign of "Chenguang News Agency" was erected in the corner.

"Why, the big sign hasn't been posted yet?" Li Huaicheng asked.

"Principal Li, it's really difficult to do things now, and it's even harder to do serious things. In order to get the procedures done as soon as possible, Po Guang went to the Central News Agency every three days. After running for three or four months, he entrusted a lot of people and spent a lot of money, but, The Central News Agency always refuses approval for various reasons. The Central News Agency is the first hurdle. All news agencies must be reviewed and approved by the Central News Agency before they can apply for approval to the Propaganda Department of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee and the Central Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang. Now it seems that everyone is a little discouraged... One of Walker introduced, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Li Huaicheng walked around the room and said: "Brother Kezhi, although the policy allows the establishment of private news agencies as a signboard for the government's freedom of speech, which one of the dictatorships is not a trick to make simple things complicated, Complicated things are easy to handle, otherwise, how do those officials rely on to declare power and trade power for money? This is difficult, which means it is worth doing. Think about it, in the whole of China, there are hundreds or even thousands of people who want to eat Chiang Kai-shek alive. Said From the bottom of my heart, I believe that the eradication of the dictatorship must start with the eradication of the dictator. This is like a domino. If the first piece is not knocked down, the latter ones will not fall down automatically. It is a pity that I am old. If I were more than ten years younger I don’t do anything at the age of [-], and I specialize in studying Jing Ke’s assassination of the Qin Dynasty. I believe that there must be a book in Chiang Kai-shek’s hundred secrets, which can always catch the moment when he is careless. Now, this heavy responsibility falls on your shoulders. I, too You can’t shirk your responsibility. I want to give it a try, find a friend to help you clear it up, and see if you can get rid of the Central News Agency!”

More than ten days later, Li Huaicheng walked into Wanghe Tower No. 2 again, and said happily: "Brothers, good news!"

Hua Kezhi, Zhang Yuhua and others hurriedly gathered around, all smiling. "The veteran will go out, one is worth two!" Hua Kezhi said.

Afterwards, Li Huaicheng briefly introduced the operation process.

That day, after he left the Chenguang club, he was not very sure in his heart.Who can I ask for help?After thinking about it, he finally thought of Xu Renru (1884-1965).This Xu Ninru is from Jiaxing, Zhejiang.A scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.Studied in Japan.Once developed by Qiu Jin as a member of the Restoration Association. On November 1911, 11, the Zhejiang Military Government was declared to be established. Xu Ninru served successively as the head of the Third Regiment of the Zhejiang Army, a counselor of the Zhejiang Governor's Mansion, and concurrently served as a counselor of the Shanghai Military Governor's Mansion. In 7, he served as the director of Zhejiang West Lake Bureau.However, he is loyal and not good at flattering people, so his official luck is not good. In January 1916, the Kuomintang Central Party History Compilation Committee was established in Nanjing. He was hired as the secretary of the editorial department office and became an ordinary civil servant.But people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.Xu Ninru's words are not light.He used to be Chiang Kai-shek's teacher and was highly respected. Therefore, as long as he speaks, the party and government system will give face.Li Huaicheng and Xu Ninru have worked together, and they have similar temperaments and personalities. Although they have no close friendship, they have a good impression of each other.Therefore, Li Huaicheng went to the Party History Editing Department in the name of visiting an old friend.After exchanging pleasantries, Li Huaicheng said, "Mr. Xu, I have one more request for my visit this time. I wonder if you can help me?"

Xu Ninru smiled and said, "Mr. Li, neither of us are outsiders. You know, I never want to meddle in my own business."

"It's not an idle matter, it's a business, a business."

"Then... tell me about it. However, you know me. You don't need to thank me if the matter is done; if it fails, don't blame me for being incompetent."

"Of course, of course. The thing is like this. I have a friend named Hu Yunqing, an overseas Chinese businessman who is interested in social welfare. Not long ago, he allocated some money to support several young people to engage in journalism work. One, these few These young people have a legitimate job, and moreover, they can widely promote the Three People's Principles. I am quite familiar with these young people, and feel that they are young and vigorous, and they are rare talents. Over the years, I, like you, do not want to meddle in other people's business. But, It is a pity that these young people are formidable and their future is boundless. They want to start a news agency, but the procedures have not been approved..."

"Running a news agency? As far as I know, there are already dozens of news agencies, large and small, in the city of Nanjing. The government has frozen them, and new applications are no longer accepted."

"The news agency they took over was registered in Shanghai a few years ago. This time, it just went through the formalities, moved to Nanjing, and reopened."

"Continuation? If this is the case, it will be less difficult....Mr. Li, do you think this is good? I will write a note and ask the person concerned to go directly to the relevant department; if it doesn't work, you can come again and I will Help you figure out a way."

After finishing speaking, Li Huaicheng took out a letter from his handbag and handed it to Hua Kezhi.

"Principal Li, we will never forget your kindness. However, we don't want to implicate more people. Once this matter is discovered by the authorities, it is very likely that the city gate will catch fire and bring disaster to the fish in the pond." Hua Kezhi reminded earnestly.

"It's a fire, don't I know? But, in order to get rid of the dictator, you can't take care of so much. Thinking east and west, nothing can be done."

"...But, even if you don't care, you still have to consider the safety of Mrs. Li and your family."

"Hahaha! "The Book of Songs" said it well: 'I don't read it, let alone pity my queen!' In pleading for the people, there will inevitably be sacrifices, and it will inevitably hurt some innocent people. This is inevitable. I can’t bear to let my child not be caught by a wolf. Without the determination to burn jade and stone together, how can I do justice for the sky? Only a beneficial sacrifice can be exchanged for the prosperity of the country and the nation. A sesame and a watermelon have clear advantages and disadvantages. What else is worth it? of?" Li Huaicheng said decisively.

A few days later, He Poguang and Sun Fengming, together with Mr. Xu's memo, completed all the procedures for the Chenguang News Agency with the green light all the way.
