Chapter 136 Otsuki Kaoru
"What a jasmine flower, what a jasmine flower, the garden flowers and plants are fragrant but it is not as fragrant as it is. I am willing to pick one flower, but I am afraid that it will not sprout next year. I am willing to pick one flower, but I am afraid that it will not sprout next year. I am willing to pick one flower, but I am afraid that it will be thorny to thorn…"
Looking at the pretty woman on the stage singing folk songs with her hands in her hands, Chen Qimei smiled at Sun Yat-sen beside her and said, "Sir, is this "flower tune" not bad?"
Sun Yat-sen, who had just returned to Shanghai from France, nodded while admiring. "It's really good..."
I just don’t know if his goodness refers to the flower tune or the pretty woman above...
Chen Qimei accompanied Sun Yat-sen this time, of course it was impossible for him to just invite him to listen to this song "Flowers withering flowers", so he turned to the topic after listening for a while. "Sir, have confidence in this election..."
"Confidence? How can you have confidence if you haven't chosen yet..." Sun Yat-sen replied with a smile while continuing to watch the performance above.
"Otherwise, Mr. Ke has made it clear that he will not compete with his husband for the position of president. Li Yuanhong is just an old official in the Qing Dynasty and is also a governor who was pulled out from under the bed. How can he compare with Mr.? With his reputation in China..." There is no airtight wall in the world, and the wall may not necessarily want to block the wind. It is known to everyone that Li Yuanhong became the governor, so Chen Qimei, the "Governor of Yangmei", naturally does not look down on Li Yuanhong very much.
Sun Yat-sen just smiled and continued to appreciate Chen Qimei's blatant contempt.
Looking at Sun Yat-sen's appearance, Chen Qimei could only mutter. "Sir, you are so kind."
On the second day, Sun Yat-sen took a boat to Nanjing with fatigue and prepared to participate in the temporary presidential election in Nanjing.
As a person who has enough prestige in the country and is not hindered by all forces, it can be said that this election was prepared for Sun Yat-sen, and Sun Yat-sen lived up to expectations...
On December 28, Nanjing held a preparatory meeting for the temporary presidential election.
On December 29, representatives from various provinces held an interim presidential meeting in Nanjing.
According to Article 1 of the Provisional Government Organization Outline: The Provisional President shall be elected by the governors of each province; those who receive more than two-thirds of the total number of votes shall be elected. The right to vote for each province shall be limited to one vote.
The representatives who ran for election were 45 representatives from 17 provinces including Zhili, Fengtian, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan. Sun Yat-sen finally won 16 of the 17 valid votes and was elected as the first interim president of the Republic of China...
On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen held the inauguration ceremony of the Provisional President of the Republic of China at the Nanjing Presidential Palace (formerly the Governor General Office of Liangjiang).
——————————
At the celebration party, people kept toasting Sun Yat-sen, who had just become the president. Pu Dianjun, as the representative of Sichuan, was no exception. However, perhaps because of his special mission, even Pu Dianjun, who was calm when he was arrested by Zhang Renjun, felt a little nervous at this moment...
"I didn't expect that I would actually do such a thing as a governor whom I looked down on during the road protection exercise, and do something like this for dogs and rats..." Pu Dianjun sighed in his heart after sighing with impermanence in the world. However, after learning the truth from Yan Guang, he also felt that he should do something for the mother and daughter within his ability.
But even so, Pu Dianjun still glared at the entourage behind him who pushed him out but hid behind him. "What a group of guys who cannot fight with them."
Thinking of this, Pu Dianjun walked to Sun Yat-sen. "Congratulations to the President..."
"It turns out it's Brother Bo Ying. I was wondering where you were just now." Although he had just taken the position of president, Sun Yat-sen had learned about the financial difficulties of the Provisional Government from Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, and Yan Guang was a famous rich man in China. Although no one knows how rich the Sichuan governor is, it is not an exaggeration to donate tens of millions to the Nanjing government?
Therefore, Sun Yat-sen was quite polite to Pu Dianjun, Yan Guang's representative.
But Sun Yat-sen didn't know that the more polite he was, the less uncomfortable Pu Dianjun was. He just thought about Yan Guang's orders and the poor mother and daughter who were still in Japan. In the end, Pu Dianjun could only grit his teeth in his heart, and then forced his smile. "I just talked to a few friends just now, and I'm so worried that the President will be worried." As he said that, Pu Dianjun pretended to be curious. "By the way, I heard that the President has a wife and daughter, and he is now living abroad. I don't know when the President plans to bring his wife and lady back to China?"
This is the question-and-answer method chosen by Pu Dianjun through the telegram, Yan Guang and others.
Although Sun Yat-sen's president actually did not have much power, he was also a nominal leader of the Republic of China. If he asked according to Yan Guang's method at the beginning, he would not only embarrass Sun Yat-sen and offend a lot of people who didn't have to offend.
Moreover, even Yan Guang himself felt that such things were actually a bitch-cheating, but he was just unable to bear it and meddled with other people. So after discussing with everyone, Yan Guang decided to ask Pu Dianjun to ask by tapping the side. This would not only remind Sun Yat-sen that he had a pair of wives in Japan that he had been forgotten for a long time, but he would not offend Sun Yat-sen...at least he would not offend him too much...
"Madam?" Sun Yat-sen didn't think much about it when he heard Pu Dianjun say this. Because he had not divorced Lu Muzhen for Soong Ching Ling at this time, Sun Yat-sen thought Pu Dianjun was talking about Lu Muzhen.
"Yes, it's the president's wife in Japan." No one knew, Pu Dianjun's heartbeat seemed to have stopped when he said this.
At this time, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren also walked out from the side. "What, does Yixian have a wife in Japan?" No wonder the two were surprised, because when Sun Yat-sen and Otsuki Hung got married, they didn't know Sun Yat-sen.
"Yes, that lady is a Japanese man, it seems that she is named Otsuki Hung." Pu Dianjun deliberately ignored Sun Yat-sen's face, and smiled as if she had not noticed anything. "My governor lived abroad for many years and had also been to Japan (lie). When the governor stayed in Japan for a short time, he had heard the story of the president and his wife. After returning to China, he also told me about this and praised the President and his wife for being so forgot about age..." It was indeed very forgot about age. Sun Yat-sen was 38 years old when the two got married, while Otsuki Hung was only 15 years old...
Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and even the people around him turned strange when they heard Pu Dianjun say this, and in the end, Song Jiaoren forced to smooth things over. "Yixian, this is your wrong thing. Since there is still a wife in Japan, how can you not introduce it to us?"
Yes, how can I not introduce it? But how should I introduce it?
Sun Yat-sen could not tell the two that her encounter with Otsuki Kaoru was when she was 11 years old (1898), and her marriage was when the woman was 15 years old, that is, in 1903 (I was in love with the girl Asada Haru in the same year), and then she went to the revolution.
By the way, in the first two years, Sun Yat-sen would send some living expenses to Otsuki Hsumi, but in July 1905, when Sun Yat-sen returned to Japan and left in October, there was nothing left to Otsuki Hsumi except the children in her belly.
Since then, although Otsuki Sutang (Otsuki's father) and Otsuki contacted Sun Yat-sen through their contact person Wen Bingchen, they have never seen any response. In order to avoid the disreputation of the illegitimate child, Otsuki Sutang finally had to register his granddaughter who had been born for more than a year in his household registration as his young daughter Fumiko. As a result, Otsuki and Tomiko, who were actually mother-daughter, became sisters in their household registration. So far, Otsuki never met Sun Yat-sen again.
To illustrate, in 1913, on the eve of the Second Revolution, Sun Yat-sen visited Japan, but still did not meet Otsuki Kaoru and his daughter who had been given to others as her adopted daughter. When the Second Revolution failed and Sun Yat-sen was exiled to Japan, he began their great revolutionary love with Soong Ching-ling...
There are many people who have devoted themselves to the revolution and abandoned their wives and children for the sake of the country and the nation. As a small person, we cannot evaluate them because although they have hurt their families, they have made great contributions to the country and the nation, and the price behind this contribution is often beyond the imagination of others.
However, when the revolution is successful or even successful, he still ignores his abandoned wife and daughter? (It is not included the original wife Lu Muzhen, the concubine Chen Cuifen who "retired after success"...)
Based on this alone, Yan Guang looked down on Sun Yat-sen...

ps: After giving his daughter to someone else's house as an adopted daughter, Otsuki Kaoru remarried under the persuasion of others, but was eventually forced to divorce because of privately hiding Sun Yat-sen's letters. After that, Otsuki Kaoru completely hid and then married far away to other places.
