Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Equality means being on the same level in terms of political, social, or economic status; the absence or denial of hereditary class differences or arbitrary privileges.

First and foremost, everyone is equal before the law.

All people are born equal, without distinction of rank or status.

The right to equality is a fundamental right we are born with, meaning that citizens enjoy rights and fulfill obligations equally in accordance with the law.

Therefore, it is wrong for ordinary people to be beheaded for killing someone.

But you, the Governor of Western Jiangxi, who murdered and stole a wife, can escape legal punishment because you are a meritorious member of the Tongmenghui revolutionaries.

Where is justice? Where is the law?

If that's the case, then what's the point of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty? Is it just about changing the ruler to continue enslaving the people?

If you want to be pioneers, you must first be fair and just, and gain the trust of everyone.

What happened to your promises?

You've changed dynasties with countless lives lost, have you forgotten their sacrifices?

Is it true that once you've taken the benefits, you abandon your promises?

Here I want to express my regret for the passing of Gong Yong.

A passionate and patriotic young man was killed by a conspiracy.

At the same time, Gong Yong was also happy.

He died on the eve of dawn.

His happiness lay in the fact that he did not witness the chaos and debauchery that followed daylight, nor did he see his good brothers and allies plotting to kill him with dirty and despicable means in order to take his wife.

His lofty ideals, which he believed in so deeply, were nothing but shit in the eyes of his friend Li Liejun.

Because he didn't see Li Liejun's ugly face, he left happily, full of fantasies.

..

Shen Hao once again directed his sharp criticism at Li Liejun, seemingly determined to nail Li Liejun to the pillar of shame.

This article only added fuel to the fire.

The outcry grew even louder.

Democracy, freedom, and fairness have become hot topics of discussion across the country, giving them a new perspective on life and showing them that life can be like this.

Not only did they put Li Liejun in a very difficult position, but they also put him in a very difficult situation.

At the same time, it also labeled the Tongmenghui as protecting others.

The Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance) also faced skepticism from various sectors of society.

Faced with doubts, the Tongmenghui was under immense pressure, but Li Liejun was the governor of Jiangxi Province, which was of great significance to them.

Expelling him would be tantamount to pushing Li Liejun into the arms of the enemy.

Therefore, the Tongmenghui remained silent and began to use its influence to get major newspapers to stop publishing articles about Shen Hao.

It must be said that the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance) had a much greater influence in cultural circles than the Yuan Shikai silver dollar.

Newspapers outside of Beijing all agreed.

Meanwhile, Li Liejun ordered newspapers in western Jiangxi Province to stop publishing any news about him.

But the more the blockade is imposed, the louder the outcry from the outside becomes.

He was exhausted and, for the first time, began to fear Shen Hao.

I wish I could kill him as soon as possible.

At the mouth of Jiujiang Lake, Li Yunlong and his men loaded up all their weapons.

This time, Li Liejun tolerated him and didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to compromise and let him go.

Moreover, he received news that Yuan Shikai had sent six warships to Jiujiang, with the clear intention of annihilating him in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Li Liejun feared that once the shooting started, the situation would become uncontrollable, and Yuan Shikai would take the opportunity to launch an attack.

Under the pretext of investigating Gong Yong's death, troops were dispatched.

At that point, they'll be in a difficult situation and could very well be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Moreover, the Tongmenghui sent him a telegram asking him to compromise and give up the arms.

Meanwhile, Hu Ningmin was entrusted by the Tongmenghui to personally visit Shen Hao.

Take two steps at the same time.

Upon entering the Shen residence, I sat on the genuine leather sofa in the living room.

Hu Ningmin was amazed; the sofa was incredibly comfortable.

They enjoy life even more than emperors.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "What brings Governor Hu here today?"

With a sigh, Hu Ningmin said, "I've come here on behalf of the Tongmenghui to discuss something with Commander Shen."

Shen Hao knew perfectly well what was going on, but he pretended not to know and said, "Oh? I'm curious, what is there for Governor Hu and me to discuss?"

Previously, Shen Hao was Hu Ningmin's subordinate, but now the two are at the same level, and Hu Ningmin has no power at all.

Hu Ningmin said, "Commander Shen, your remarks these past two days have put the Tongmenghui in a very passive position and have had a huge impact on all sectors of society."

Therefore, on behalf of the Tongmenghui, I hope Mr. Shen will stop publishing articles.”

Shen Hao scoffed, "Didn't your Tongmenghui send the telegram first? What?"

You can do what you can on the first day of the lunar month, but I can't do what you can on the fifteenth?

You can set fires as you please, but I, Shen Hao, am not allowed to light a lamp?

Besides, a clear conscience fears no accusation. You yourselves are morally corrupt and of questionable character, so why should you be afraid of what others say?

Did I say anything that slandered you?

Upon hearing this, Hu Ningmin shook his head with a wry smile, unable to utter a single word after being rebuked.

Shen Hao was not only right, but his words were also very sharp.

Moreover, the freedom, democracy, justice, and rule of law they proposed were more detailed than their so-called overthrow of the Qing Dynasty.

In particular, we are one big family, and all compatriots of all ethnic groups are brothers and sisters, which obviously makes our perspective even broader.

Hu Ningmin respected Shen Hao deep down and felt that only by following Shen Hao's example could they find a completely new path.

However, the country is not yet fully unified, so this is no easy task.

The idea is good, but it's not very practical.

Shen Hao directly damaged the image and reputation of the Tongmenghui.

"Commander Shen, the problem lies with you; you seized Li Liejun's weapons. You were in the wrong."

Shen Hao said expressionlessly, "According to the laws of the Republic of China, any arms transaction must be licensed by the Ministry of the Army to be considered legal."

First, this batch of weapons was smuggled without a license, which is illegal.

Since it's illegal, what's wrong with being detained?

Hu Ningmin's forehead began to sweat, and he inexplicably felt somewhat guilty.

"Commander Shen, that's not what was said in Chapter 850. The follow-up procedures for Li Liejun's batch are already being processed."

"I killed someone, can I apologize later?" Shen Hao said.

These are two completely different things.

"A violation is a violation, and there is no room for sentimentality."

Since establishing democracy requires the rule of law, does that mean Li Liejun can justify murder?

Hu Ningmin was speechless; arguing was definitely not his forte.

"We've come here with the intention of making peace. Our attitude is sincere, and we'll consider the shipment of weapons as an apology. We hope Commander Shen will show leniency and temporarily cease hostilities."

Is this a sign of backing down?

Shen Hao said with satisfaction, "If Governor Hu had shown this attitude earlier, wouldn't it have been much easier for us to talk to him?"

Hu Ningmin sighed inwardly, feeling utterly ashamed, and could only nod, saying, "It's my fault."

Therefore, the two sides reached an agreement: Shen Hao would take the weapons, and Li Lie would not interfere further.

Shen Hao could no longer post articles criticizing the Tongmenghui.

Then, they chatted for a few more minutes.

Hu Ningmin then hurriedly took his leave.

As Shen Hao's superior, the fact that he actually came to see Shen Hao was already making him lose face.

Soon, Li Yunlong smoothly took over all the weapons without any trouble.

This made him a little disappointed.

At the same time, although Shen Hao's article was suppressed, its influence was still very large, which greatly damaged the reputation of the Tongmenghui.
