Section 16 Oath
After pacifying the merchant regiment, although Chiang Kai-shek was busy, he was in a good mood. In the battle to pacify the merchant regiment, the student army composed of students from the Whampoa Military Academy showed their strength and captured the headquarters of the Xiguan Merchant Regiment in one fell swoop. It made the first contribution to completely pacifying the merchant regiment. It was praised by all parties. No one dared to say that one company would be sent to disarm. Now the second phase of the school has entered the school, and the teaching regiment is also being formed. Soldiers recruited from Anhui, Jiangsu are coming to Guangzhou one after another. The most important thing is that Sun Yat-sen promised to allocate a considerable portion of the guns and funds aided by the Soviet Union to form the teaching regiment, and the teaching regiment is in Huangpu. He believed that it would not take long before he could form a powerful army to fight the battlefield.
Zhuang Jihua finally could confirm that history was still developing according to the established route, and his whole body returned to his original appearance, which made Jiang Xianyun and others more sure that he had emotional fluctuations about the poor judgment of the Northern Expedition. Especially after Jiang Xianyun had the experience of Sun Yat-sen's temporary adjudicator, he looked at Zhuang Jihua even more differently. On the other hand, Zhuang Jihua also highly praised Jiang Xianyun. Although the two had some different opinions, their personal relationship became better.
On October 23, Feng Yuxiang sent a telegram to invite Sun Yat-sen to go north to preside over the plan, and on October 27, Sun Yat-sen issued a telegram response in Shaoguan.
The changes in the situation in the north naturally became the central topic for military academy students on Huangpu Island. They mostly admire Feng Yuxiang's revolutionary actions and mostly optimistic about Sun Yat-sen's northward journey. However, Zhuang Jihua held the opposite attitude in front of Chiang Kai-shek, while Jiang Xianyun was completely the opposite.
"…The Prime Minister does not need to go north. Feng Yuxiang has two purposes: First, we will unite us to deal with Feng Zhang and Wan Duan. Second, it is to cover up the real reason for his coup and gain support from the people. Inspired by the revolution is only the secondary reason. From the aftermath he published, we can know that he has no political propositions."
"Cultural Revolution, what do you think is the real reason why Feng Yuxiang turned against him?" Chiang Kai-shek asked gently. He now wanted to hear Zhuang Jihua's judgment. Half a year ago, Zhuang Jihua judged that the Zhifeng War would end with a direct defeat. Although he was shocked at the time, he did not really believe it. Unexpectedly, his words came true. Since he had made the right decision, Chiang Kai-shek asked himself that he could not make such a judgment.
"The conflict between him and Wu Peifu was uneven distribution of interests, mainly because after the last Zhi-Feng War, Feng Yuxiang originally wanted to obtain Henan territory, but Wu Peifu gave Henan to his confidants. What's even more amazing is that before the war, Feng Yuxiang was the governor of Shaanxi, and after the war, Wu Peifu didn't even give him the governor of Shaanxi. Feng Yuxiang only ended up as a reviewer, and the conflicts accumulated thus broke out in this war. Wu Peifu held the power of the Zhili clique and no one except Cao Kun, so he successfully cultivated the opposition within the Zhili clique, which is a fruit of his own today." Zhuang Jihua read some information in Shaoguan and had rich historical knowledge.
"What do you think about the result of the Prime Minister's journey north?" Chiang Kai-shek continued to ask.
"The students thought that no results would be achieved. Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui would never let the Prime Minister take power and realize the Three Principles of the People. The current situation in Beijing depends on Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui. Any two of them can overwhelm the rest. Politically, Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui are relatively close, and their masters are all Japanese, so the possibility of these two joining forces is high. Once Feng Yuxiang retreats, the Prime Minister lacks strength to support in Beijing, and it is impossible to make a difference." Zhuang Jihua firmly opposed Sun Yat-sen's journey north. There is no other reason. When visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, he knew that Sun Yat-sen died in Beijing, so he said very hard, hoping to incite Chiang Kai-shek to oppose Sun Yat-sen's journey north.
"Principal, I think the judgment of the Cultural Revolution makes sense, but I still think the Prime Minister should go north." Jiang Xianyun interrupted: "At present, Beijing is the center of China's political situation, and the whole country's eyes are on Beijing. The people hope to see the Prime Minister come to Beijing to handle the aftermath. Even if nothing can be solved, as long as the Prime Minister goes, he will not let down the hope of the people."
"But no results can be achieved." Zhuang Jihua retorted.
"No, at least the same result can be achieved, that is, to expose the nature of Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui's warlords' disaster, let the people see this guy clearly, and then sympathize with the revolution and support the revolution." Jiang Xianyun said confidently.
"Instead of wasting time and energy, it is better to rectify Guangdong and prepare for the Eastern Expedition of Chen Jiongming." Zhuang Jihua shouted dissatisfied.
Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhuang Jihua and smiled slightly. On this point, he actually agreed with Jiang Xianyun's judgment, but he felt a little grasped Zhuang Jihua. This man was extremely smart, sleek, but very practical, and would only choose the most beneficial result for himself. Since that's the case, you can't run out of my palm. He looked at the two of them and was very satisfied. These two were shiny for a moment. ** With Jiang Xianyun, I have Zhuang Jihua, no, I want to pull Jiang Xianyun over.
"Cultural Revolution, don't be excited. I support Wushan in this regard. The premier's benefits are more beneficial than disadvantages."
"But principal,..." Zhuang Jihua didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that Sun Yat-sen couldn't come back after he went.
"If the Prime Minister can achieve the best results in this trip, and cannot achieve the effect mentioned by Wushan, it will be beneficial to the revolution." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand to stop him and continued.
"I have another thing to ask you for you. This time, we, Huangpu, made a great contribution. The Prime Minister was very happy. Therefore, he proposed that our Huangpu Military Academy join the young people from various military academies in Guangzhou. The Prime Minister's idea is very good. I want you two to prepare in detail, so we will mainly be provided by the Cultural Revolution and Wushan assisted."
Zhuang Jihua was not giving up and was still thinking about how to get Chiang Kai-shek around and let him stop Sun Yat-sen from going north. In fact, he was overestimated by Chiang Kai-shek in this regard. Since Chen Jiongming rebelled, Sun Yat-sen was very alert to the military's power, so he never allowed Chiang Kai-shek to interfere in party affairs. Except for the Party Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, Chiang Kai-shek was basically unable to interfere in off-campus affairs, and his status in the party was equivalent to an alternate member.
"However, Principal, the Prime Minister is in poor health. This time, the Northbound business is complicated, and the Prime Minister is not sure whether he can support it." Zhuang Jihua also wanted to make his last effort.
"Let's not talk about this matter in the Cultural Revolution. The Prime Minister's health is not good, but the Prime Minister has always put the country first and favored the country. This reason cannot stop the Prime Minister." Chiang Kai-shek seemed to understand Zhuang Jihua's thoughts, but he did not expect that Sun Yat-sen would never come back after he went there.
"Cultural Revolution, I just said that you should be the main one, Wushan assists, what do you think."
Zhuang Jihua sighed in his heart and agreed with what Chiang Kai-shek said. Even if he told Sun Yat-sen that he would never return here, Sun Yat-sen would firmly go north.
He cleared his thoughts for a while, then felt something was wrong, and said, "Principal, I have never done such a joint before. Wushan has led a strike before. If you have experience in this area, I'd better run errands for him."
Jiang Xianyun smiled and said, "Don't be humble in the Cultural Revolution. Strikes and Federations are different. I think you can do it completely. Like the last debate and the theater troupe, don't you do well?"
"I'm low-difficulty, but you have a high-difficulty. If you don't do it well, you'll have to smash our Huangpu brand."
Jiang Xianyun couldn't help but smile, and Chiang Kai-shek also smiled slightly. Both of them were used to Zhuang Jihua's way of speaking.
Chiang Kai-shek ignored it and started to be unreasonable: "It's okay for anyone to be responsible. You two do this, don't let me down, let alone the Prime Minister."
Zhuang Jihua thought about it and thought it would be better to pull a few more people, so he suggested: "The principal should just capture a few more strong men, like Li Zhilong, He Zhonghan, Zeng Kuoqing and others also caught them. Three cobblers beat one Zhuge Liang, and a few more, they would beat a few Zhuge Liang."
Chiang Kai-shek finally couldn't help laughing. He knew that Zhuang Jihua wanted to do this. He was always trying to hide himself and find the most beneficial result for him. Moreover, the people he said were both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which also reassured him.
"You guys discuss it." He actually didn't care much about such a union, but Sun Yat-sen's instructions were not to do it, at least to behave like a person.
Zhuang Jihua was helpless. He didn't know what would happen to this union, but he didn't feel good.
Jiang Xianyun was very excited. He had long wanted to set up such an organization, but he had no time to raise money since he entered the school. Now he is legitimate.
On October 28, Sun Yat-sen held a military and political meeting in Guangzhou to discuss policies and guidelines for responding to changes in the situation in the north.
On November 3, Sun Yat-sen issued a Grand Marshal Order, ordering the headquarters Hu Hanmin to stay in Guangzhou, perform the power of the Grand Marshal, and the commander-in-chief of the **, Tan Yankai, stationed in Shaoguan. In order to cooperate with Sun Yat-sen to go north, the Kuomintang Central Committee issued a secret notice to the whole party, pointing out that "the Prime Minister's trip north this time was to meet the requests of all comrades in the north, and to develop the party affairs in the north, and not to make compromises with all factions." He called on "All my comrades should work hard to publicize and organize in a timely manner, so as to strengthen the group and increase the power."
On November 10, Sun Yat-sen issued the "Declaration on the North", in which he comprehensively explained his purpose and rational position of going north, and put forward that "the purpose of the national revolution is to create a free country to support the interests of the state and the people." Foreign countries should "abolize all unequal treaties and privileges; change the nature of foreign debt, so that the great powers cannot use such foreign debt, so that China is trapped in the status of a sub-colonial land." Internal countries should realize "based on the three ideologies of nation, civil rights and people's livelihood, and in response to the current situation, list relief methods and take it as the minimum political platform". Advocate "convening a national meeting to seek the unity and construction of China."
On November 12, Sun Yat-sen attended a farewell party from all walks of life in Guangzhou and delivered a speech. He encouraged everyone to build Guangdong well so that it can become the source of revolution. This speech is quite different from Zhuang Jihua's speech in his previous life. The biggest difference is that it is the eastern expedition to fight Chen, not the northern expedition. In this speech, Sun Yat-sen warned the whole party that the eastern expedition to fight Chen was an inevitable measure to consolidate the fundamental land of Guangdong, and asked Guangdong comrades to actively work hard to achieve this goal.
On the 13th, Zhuang Jihua watched Sun Yat-sen climbing the Yongfeng ship northward. For the first time, he felt helpless and could not find a way to stop it.
The Yongfeng ship passed through Huangpu. All Huangpu teachers and students lined up on the shore. Chiang Kai-shek boarded the ship and asked Sun Yat-sen to land on the shore to say goodbye to Huangpu teachers and students. Sun Yat-sen set foot on Huangpu for the fifth and last time. Accompanied by Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei and others, Sun Yat-sen took a motorboat and seemed to know that it would be difficult for him to return to this campus where he had the greatest hope. He inspected the students' dormitories, classrooms, and canteens one by one, and watched the tactical exercises performed by students.
Sun Yat-sen then gave a brief and enthusiastic speech to all the students.
"I'm going to Beijing today. Because there was a coup in Beijing, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu were overthrown. This is the result of the influence of our party's northern comrade movement. But did the revolution succeed? I want to say no. Feng Yuxiang, Hu Jingyi and others could not talk about politics. This is very dangerous. What is a revolution? Revolution is politics, a major event that concerns the people of the country. Now Feng Yuxiang and others are in the front, not asking about politics behind, and let it develop. Therefore, there is no hope of success in this Beijing revolution. Although this incident cannot achieve the effect of the central revolution, I still have to go, because only I will go.
Only by showing the attitude of our party can we influence the people in the north and the revolution will progress in the future... It has been thirteen years since the establishment of the Republic of China, and the country is still chaotic, warlords are rampant, and wars are endless. Some comrades in the party are depressed and busy pursuing fame and fortune. In the eyes of these comrades, revolution is to start a company, and to devote themselves to revolution is to invest in shares, and to wait for dividends in the future. But I want to say that revolution is not to open a company, and to devote themselves to revolution is not to invest in shares, or to dividends. To devote themselves to revolution is to save China and save the people. Therefore, only by having the determination to sacrifice everything can the revolution have hope of success."
…
"Today, if students of Huangpu can endure hardships and work hard, they will be able to inherit the revolutionary cause, continue my life and practice my own ideology. Ordinary people will die once, as long as they die... If they cannot die two or three years ago, now all students can fulfill my unfulfilled ambitions, they can die!"
Sun Yat-sen's high hopes made all the teachers and students present burst into tears and their blood were boiling. Chiang Kai-shek and Liao Zhongkai then delivered a speech, warning all the students to keep in mind the Prime Minister's guidance and work hard for the revolution.
Zhuang Jihua came to power on behalf of all the students to receive the National Revolutionary Army Teaching Banner awarded by Sun Yat-sen.
Then Jiang Xianyun stepped onto the stage, stood attentively, raised his right hand, clenched his fists, turned around, and faced Sun Yat-sen.
Nearly a thousand people in the audience raised their right fists at the same time, and spurted out from their chests word by word: "We swear to the Prime Minister and remember the Prime Minister's guidance."
"We swear to the Prime Minister and keep in mind the Prime Minister's training"
"Resolutely fight warlord imperialism to the end"
"Resolutely fight warlord imperialism to the end"
"I wish to shed the last drop of blood for the liberation of the nation"
"I wish to shed the last drop of blood for the liberation of the nation"
"We take a swear."
"We take a swear."
The sound of the roaring sound of thousands of young people was loud and enthusiastic.
"We swear..."
Thousands of young faces were solemn and excited.
"We swear..."
Qiandao's firm eyes flashed with fanaticism.
"We swear..."
Thousands of straight bodies stood under the flag of the Hollow Army, allowing the strong wind to howl and the flames to rise, fearless and fearless.
"We swear..."
...
....
They received a high education in this era. When the country was in danger and the nation was in danger, they did not choose to escape, did not find a secluded harbor, and devoted themselves to Huangpu without regrets. In the next twenty years, their blood will spread throughout the land of China. Most of them did not live until peace came, but at this moment they only had one idea to save China.
"**The new order is raised, and the thousands of camps are calling together; Jieshi, you are the good soldiers!" Sun Yat-sen said excitedly, but the left and right entourages have their own thoughts. Liu Zhenhuan and Yang Ximin looked unhappy, Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei's eyes flashed, and Chiang Kai-shek was full of complacent.
The Yongfeng ship gradually faded away and carried away the greatest figure in modern China. Sun Yat-sen arrived in Beijing on December 31 and died of illness on March 12, 1925. His coffin was housed in the stone pagoda in Biyun Temple in Xishan, Beijing. It was not until May 1929 that he was buried in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing by the National Government.
This is the most admired figure in this era. The countless failures did not weaken his courage at all. Each time he stood up with a hundred times the courage and led his supporters to launch another attack. His personal charm conquered him. He was even willing to give all his "intelligence" to him and fight for him. After finally confirming that he was powerless, Zhuang Jihua suggested to Chiang Kai-shek to hold such a ceremony, hoping to bring some comfort to this respectable elder, the pioneer of national liberation.
