Night View of Guayaquil
On July 25, 1822,ArgentinaSaint Martin, the national hero and the leader of the South American War of Independence, came to Guayaquil, andSouth AmericaSimon Bolivar, the "liberator" in the north, the famous Venezuelan revolutionary leader, politician, militarist and thinker, held talks on the second day and the third day of the talks in a top secret situation, without any third party's participation. Only these two well-known "giants of the South and the North" in South America were involved.Therefore, only the two of them know the content of the talks.However, after the end of the talks, Bolivar did not disclose anything, nor did he recall anything later, and St. Martin was also silent, so the secret talks left a mystery that could never be solved in history.
Guayaquil has thus become an important landmark in the history of South America.
However, the "North South Giant" talks, which have attracted worldwide attention, will not pass quietly. People have made various guesses about the contents of the talks.The atmosphere before the talks was harmonious and pleasant.When Saint Martin arrived at the port, Bolivar's two assistants went to greet him, and Bolivar welcomed him at the hotel where he would live.In the cheers of the people, the two giants embraced tightly.
However, after the talks, Saint Martin walked out of the hall in silence with a serious expression.Bolivar had a mysterious expression. When the all night dance was going on in extreme joy, St. Martin quietly left with a general who was with him and returnedPeru。
Shortly after his return to Peru, Saint Martin solemnly and seriously announced at the "First Congress" that he would resign as head of state and commander in chief of the army and that he would no longer have any power.He also took off his two-color ribbon, which symbolizes power and the highest honor, and sincerely said to the members of Parliament:
Now the laurel covers the whole South American battlefield, but my head has to avoid the laurel of final victory!My heart has never been excited by sweet feelings, but today it has excited my heart!For a fighter who fights for the freedom, democracy and happiness of the people, the joy of victory can only make him more sincerely become a tool to enable the people to enjoy their rights... I am very happy to see the establishment of the National Assembly, where I resigned from all the supreme powers I have!The only purpose of my speech today is to ask all members of parliament not to vote for me to continue in powervote！”
All the people present were very surprised and persuaded Saint Martin to withdraw his resignation.But Saint Martin was determined and explained the reasons for his resignation from all aspects.However, it is vaguely felt that the main reason is still the Guayaquil Conference, but Saint Martin did not mention this.
Night shrouded the earth, everything was so silent.Perhaps Saint Martin's heart also knows that the night is so quiet and serene?Because he was sitting on his horse at this time, quietly watching the silent night.
Saint Martin rode away quietlyLimaCity, and quietly arrived by boatChileAnd then left the motherland for which he had worked tirelessly and devoted his love.Go to Europe to meet his poor old age!
How could a leader who had been admired by Chinese people make such a choice?People focused on the Guayaquil talks again.
One argument is that during the talks with Bolivar, the two sides had a dispute on the fundamental issues. Bolivar was 39 years old at that time, and he was just as vigorous as a man. He might have been tough on St. Martin and would not give in.At the age of 44, Saint Martin was seriously injured due to his 32 years of military service, so he automatically gave up his position as commander in chief and let Bolivar lead the army alone to wipe out the colonial remnants.

Another statement is more widely recognized: "At that time, on the eve of the" war of transition port "between the troops of Saint Martin and Bolivar and the colonial army, there were many patients in the troops led by Saint Martin, and for other reasons, the Argentine and Chilean governments could not fully support him, and he was eager to help, so he talked with Bolivar in Guayaquil,I hope to get Bolivar's help.If Bolivar held down the colonial army on the other line, it would be possible to win. Otherwise, St. Martin would attack more with less, and there would inevitably be a confrontation between the enemy and us.In this way, it will be delayedLatin AmericaIndependent process.As a result, after a secret conversation with Bolivar, he understood the differences between the two, namely:the frame 。For the sake of the future of South America and the interests of the people, he painfully chose to give up power instead of waiting for war with Bolivar in the future.
Maybe later generationshistorianMore clearly, Thomas Quito wrote in his book Saint Martin and the Great Epic: "Bolivar is not happy with the victory of Saint Martin in the war to liberate Peru. In order to fight for the final victory and the highest power in South America, Bolivar will lead his troops to fight with Saint Martin's army by bold means.The combination of two revolutionary munitions, Saint Martin believes, is "a very humiliating thing left in the worldInfamyBad name! 'So he made a painful choice! "
Saint Martin also said: "I do not seek honor", "My sword will never be drawn for power!" As long as Peru and the wholeLatin AmericaTo be truly independent, I "will leave here far away".
Saint Martin gave up to Bolivar, his revolutionary partner and opponent, the most brilliant fruit of victory and the highest power and honor in South America, which he had fought for all his life.So he was praised by many people all over the world, calling him "an almost unparalleled soul in history"!
