Chapter 130: Debate with the Envoys
The man refused to give up and said, "I represent the President. My presence here is like the President himself."
Luo Jiu couldn't help but sneered, "It's already the Republic of China, and you still think you are the emperor's envoy?
What kind of person is his president? He coaxed the position from others, and he really thinks he is a big shot?
You said you represent Yuan Datou. Let me tell you that if Yuan Datou were really here, I would probably chop off his big head immediately.
You'd better think clearly whether you are the same as him. "
When the man heard this, his jaw dropped.
Everyone else present was also shocked.
During this period, there were many warlords and various forces were entrenched, making the situation complicated.
But on the surface, everyone accepted the leadership of the Beiyang government.
Even if you name your urinal "Yuan Datou" behind his back, you still have to call him the President to others.
The orders issued by the President must be received, but whether or not they are followed through on their promises depends on the individual.
At this moment, Luo Jiu publicly expressed his anti-Yuan remarks in front of Yuan Shikai's envoy and so many people, which was tantamount to running to the streets and shouting "overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty" when the Qing emperor was in power.
Not only were outsiders shocked, but even the division commanders and staff of the National Salvation Army took a deep breath.
When Yuan Datou's envoy saw that she dared to say this, he changed his tone very tactfully, "I am just a messenger, please don't misunderstand me, sirs."
Next to him was an old messenger with a gray beard. He asked in surprise, "Excuse me, Commander Luo, are you rebelling? Everyone in the country supports the republic at this time. Do you want to be a traitor? Do you want to restore the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty?"
Luo Jiu laughed loudly, and the old man asked hurriedly: "Why is the commander laughing?"
Luo Jiu said: "I laugh at you, old man, you are so foolish.
What is a traitor? Is opposing Yuan Datou a traitor?
I know that the country supports the republic, which is a good thing.
I also support the republic, but it is precisely because I support the republic that I am irreconcilable with the traitor Yuan Shikai.
It is clear to everyone that Yuan Datou wants to be the emperor. Don't you all know this?"
The visitors looked around guiltily, not daring to face Luo Jiu's questioning. Only Yuan Datou's envoy whispered, "I'm afraid Commander Luo has mistakenly believed the rumors. The President has no such intention."
Luo Jiu sneered twice. Others were just suspicious at best. But the four of them had taken history classes and knew the result long ago.
She calculated with her fingers and found that Yuan Datou would proclaim himself emperor by the end of next year.
"Just wait. He will become emperor sooner or later. He can only pretend to be emperor for one year and three months at most."
These warlords of the Republic of China have complicated resumes.
Some have suppressed revolutionary armies, some have suppressed student movements, and some have violated military discipline and allowed their soldiers to harass the people. Although they all have stains, most of them have upheld national integrity at critical moments.
Only this Yuan Datou, for his own selfish desires, used our land to exchange interests with the devils. It is not unfair to call him a thief who stole our country.
Luo Jiu looked at the old man with disdain on his face and asked coldly: "Excuse me, old man, you are quite disdainful of traitors in your words, so you must call yourself a loyal minister?
Then I would like to ask, since you are a loyal minister, why did you watch the country being lost and your compatriots suffering?
Are you a loyal subject of the country or a loyal servant of Yuan?
You say we are traitors, but the land you are standing on is the land we fought for all night to take back from the Japanese.
Where is your loyalty? Where are we messing around?
When it comes to traitors, Yuan Datou should be number one.
He first opposed the Qing Dynasty, sold out the Qing Dynasty and cheated the revolutionaries into giving him the presidency. Then he opposed the Republic and went against the grain to pursue his dream of becoming an emperor.
Humph, you want to label us traitors?
That's really like a crow standing on a pig, it sees the blackness of others but not its own blackness.
The revolutionaries are easy to fool, but we, the National Salvation Army, are not so easy to fool."
One person asked, "Commander Luo wants to follow Sun's example and carry out the third revolution?"
"No!" Luo Jiu replied firmly: "At present, the foreign enemies have not been eliminated, and our National Salvation Army will make expelling them the first priority.
When it comes to revolution, we have to look at Yuan’s performance.
If he goes further and further away from the people, we can take the opportunity to overthrow him.
Please ask President Yuan’s envoy to go back and tell him that Yuan the Great had better not mess with me. If he hides quietly, I will let him live longer and do his job as the president well.
If he dares to go against us, please ask him to touch his head every night before going to bed, so that he won’t have too many dreams at night and won’t even know if he has lost his head.
I would also like to inform you that we in the National Salvation Army are neither here to restore the Qing Dynasty nor the Ming Dynasty. Our goal is to build a new China where the people are the masters of their own destiny.
When you go back, please tell the commanders that if they are with us, we are all comrades and should share the same hatred and common enemy.
If they go against us, they will fight with us sooner or later. Although I don't want to kill my countrymen, I am definitely not a soft-hearted person.
Our National Salvation Army has made its position clear. In the future, please don’t send anyone to talk to us about this or that. We’ll just meet on the battlefield.”
After Luo Jiu finished speaking, the visitors were all in deep thought. Some of the envoys were more cautious and said nothing from beginning to end, as if they only came with eyes and ears.
The old man said with some sarcasm, "National Salvation Army? What a big tone.
Commander Luo, how many people do you have? How many weapons do you have?
Do you know how many elite soldiers and weapons the foreigners have?
Do you think that we all have a lot of troops and don't want to save the country, but only a little girl like you has the ambition to save the country?"
Still wet behind the ears? Luo Jiu really couldn't defend himself on this point.
In fact, according to their age at the end of the world plus the time spent in various time and space, they are already twenty-five, twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
But I don’t know if it’s a problem of space or time travel, the speed at which their appearance changes is obviously different from that of ordinary people.
This is especially evident in my grandmother, who has almost stopped aging.
The four men now look to be in their early twenties. Even though they are covered in dirt and dust from the battle, they still look like young men who have just started their careers.
But this also varies from person to person. Fubao seems to have taken growth enhancers and grows several times faster than others.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this old guy is a coward, the warlords on all sides are cowardly, Yuan Shikai is a coward, and he looks down on others for being tough and satirizes them for overestimating their own abilities.
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, of course you want to save the country. Who is born determined to be a traitor or a traitor?
But the problem is, you are not just thinking about saving the country.
You are still thinking about expanding your territory, expanding your influence, and becoming rich and powerful.
You all have your own little tricks. The common people expect you to save the country? It’s better to expect them to rely on their own heels.”
Some people were dissatisfied, "Commander Luo said this, he really doesn't take our leaders seriously.
Aren't you afraid that our warlords will turn against you by deliberately speaking out to offend us?
If we attack you all at once, with millions of troops, can you defeat us?"
