As a person in the 21st century, Chen Ke does not love Peking Opera or local opera. Naturally, I have heard this southern bullet word occasionally, but I have not studied it in any way. Looking at the young people around Chen Tianhua, they listened attentively one by one, and their faces were solemn. is listening to Chen Ke's "political class", although everyone is serious, they do not look so concerned. Chen Ke felt that it was really very wise for him to find Chen Tianhua. But I couldn't help but feel a little jealous in my heart. This small mood swing made Chen Ke feel ashamed. Being jealous of comrades is really not a thought that a ** person should have. Tapping his head with his hand, Chen Ke gently walked to the table with the wine and food and put the things on the table.

"Brother Chen is back." Chen Tianhua hurriedly stopped playing the words, and everyone helped to set up the wine and food.

"Mr. Tianhua, keep singing." Chen Ke said.

Chen Tianhua smiled, "The wine and food are all set, let's sing it later." I'm so hungry. ”

Everyone knew that Chen Tianhua was polite, and after a burst of laughter, they poured wine into the wine glasses.

"I think everyone has already introduced it, so I'll talk about it more. This is Mr. Chen Tianhua Chen, a revolutionary comrade invited by Qiu Jin's sister from Japan. Come, let's toast Mr. Chen. Chen Ke raised his wine glass after speaking.

Everyone introduced themselves one after another, and then clinked glasses with Chen Tianhua. After everyone drank this glass of wine, Chen Ke filled it up again, "Comrades, I invited Mr. Chen Tianhua here this time to let Mr. Tianhua and us join us in the revolution." So, comrades, we must leave Mr. Chen behind. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, Chen Tianhua didn't expect Chen Ke to speak so directly, but he is also a character anyway, and there is no stage fright, "I understand Mr. Wenqing's kindness." I'm going to toast you all. ”

The second cup was drunk, and the third cup was poured.

Hua Xiongmao smiled: "Mr. Chen, this can't be comprehended. I haven't read much, but I've heard of Mr. Chen's name, and since Mr. Chen can come here, I'll have to stay a few more years anyway. Come, Mr. Chen, I toast you with this glass of wine. ”

Everyone drank this glass of wine together, Chen Ke put down the wine glass, "I never like to pour wine, these three glasses are drunk, and everyone is free to do so." ”

"Mr. Chen, I came here this time mainly because Mr. Qiu Jin conveyed Mr. Chen's kindness, I have no merit, I have to come to visit Mr. Chen no matter what. I don't know what Mr. Chen can teach me. ”

"My surname is Chen, and your surname is Chen, I'll be close, let's be considered our family." So don't say anything about Mr. Chen, you can call me a cousin, just Wenqing. I don't know what Mr. Tianhua is called? ”

"Epigraph."

"Brother Xingtai, everyone is young, so I won't be polite. I invited Xingtai to come, and I didn't need to discuss any important matters together, but I just wanted to invite Xingtai to make a revolution with us. ”

Chen Tianhua listened to Chen Ke's words, and his face was a little confused. He frowned slightly and looked at Chen Ke, the revolution in this year is nothing more than the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chen Ke said this with a big grin, and then looked at the other people around him who were accustomed to it, so that Chen Tianhua couldn't figure it out. This group of men and women look rich or expensive in their clothes, are they revolutionaries or a group of crazy people?

"I don't know what kind of revolutionary law this revolution is Brother Wen Qing?" Chen Tianhua asked.

"Revolution is not to kill people, revolution is to save people. Since it is to save people, the first thing is to feed everyone. Star Terrace, you see. Chen Ke said as he pointed to the other people who had already started to move the chopsticks, "If we want to eat enough, we have to move the chopsticks with everyone." So, let's get started. At this point, Chen Ke paused, and then said in Japanese: "Hiss." (Japanese: I'm moving)"

Chen Tianhua didn't know that Chen Ke still understood Japanese, so he was slightly taken aback, and saw that Chen Ke had already moved his chopsticks after he finished speaking. He was really hungry at this time, and his chopsticks immediately reached for the fried tofu closest to him. Everyone at this table is from a very unusual background, and everyone is silent when they eat. Plus they are all young people, so they are not so restrictive. The crowd didn't let the dishes go, and they ate them violently, and the plates were empty in a few minutes.

After eating, the mung bean soup was served, and each person poured from one bowl to two bowls according to their appetite. Then they cleaned up the table together, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and then sat back at the table.

Everyone who works together has long been accustomed to this way of collective life, and Chen Tianhua has also joined smoothly. Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and suddenly they laugh together.

Hua Xiongmao patted Chen Tianhua on the shoulder, "Brother Xingtai, looking at your appearance, you are not an ordinary person. It's a pity not to revolutionize. ”

Chen Tianhua arched his hand at everyone, "Everyone, let's meet in Pingshui." Thanks to everyone, Tianhua has seen a lot of revolutions. To this day, I am still wanted by the Manchus. I appreciate your intentions, if you want Tianhua to join, you have to listen to me first. ”

"Listen up." Qi Huishen said with interest.

Chen Tianhua said angrily: "I have ten revolutionary principles, first, you must know that this disaster of partition is not only the destruction of the country, but also the fire. Second, it must be known that after the countries carved up China, they must still have the Manchurian government to suppress the Han Chinese. Third, it is necessary to know that today, we can no longer talk about preparing to save the country, and only by fighting to the death can we save China. Fourth, it is necessary to know that a few more people die at this time, and only a few more people can be saved later. Fifth, it is important to know the word race, which must be recognized and clearly distinguished. Sixth, it is important to know that the country has a share in everyone, and we must not ignore it at all, and do whatever it takes. Seventh, it is necessary to know that in order to reject outsiders, it is necessary to learn the strengths of outsiders first. Eighth, you must know that if you want to improve yourself, you must first get rid of your own shortcomings. Ninth, it is necessary to know that civility must be used to xenophobia, not barbarism. Tenth, it is necessary to know that this xenophobic cause has no time. ”

Chen Ke listened to Chen Tianhua's ten truths, and thought to himself, no wonder Chen Tianhua committed suicide in history, and with his point of view, it was strange that he could find like-minded people in 1905.

After Chen Tianhua finished saying these ten, he saw Chen Ke smiling, Zhou Yuanxiao had no reaction, Qi Huishen nodded slightly, Hua Xiongmao had a narrow smile on his face, and You Yu held back the urge to laugh. No one agreed or disagreed.

"Brother Xingtai said it very well." Chen Kezan said. But Chen Tianhua was only polite when he listened to Chen Ke's tone, but there was no excitement or other emotions. Chen Tianhua's heart sank. When the average revolutionary hears this, he or she either agrees with it or has doubts. I didn't expect these people to be accustomed to this, and it seems that they are really a revolutionary party.

"When I talk about revolution, the first thing I have to do is to do it. If you only talk about reason, you can say it. Xingtai is well aware of the revolutionary truth, but I want to ask, what Xingtai said, it must be understood that it must be xenophobic with civilization, and it cannot be xenophobic with barbarism. What is going to be done about this thing? ”

Chen Tianhua said angrily, "Xingxue, popularization of education. The education of various countries has been explained before, and there is really no way to save China from the lack of schools at this time. Speeches, thoughts are spreading! The first thing that a speech is to open the air requires three or four people, and it is necessary to make a speech, and if you want to save the country, you can't stand up. Revitalize women's learning and cultivate the roots. Rank! The fallacy that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented is really harmful. Foreign women have the same education as men, so they can marry and raise children. Chinese women have no knowledge at all, and their husbands and sons not only cannot benefit from him, but are also hindered by him a lot, and often people with great ambitions are consumed by loving wives and loving mothers. Men are in the hands of women for half their lives, women are uneducated, and they are fundamentally broken, where are the good branches and leaves? ”

Chen Ke really didn't know much about Chen Tianhua, and when he heard Chen Tianhua talk so eloquently, he really changed color. It's not just Chen Ke, everyone else has a big change in their faces.

Chen Tianhua saw that everyone was only taking their thoughts seriously now, and he smiled, "Don't hide it from everyone, before I came back this time, Mr. Qiu Jin said that Brother Wen Qing is a person who does great things, is knowledgeable and has a keen mind. Less than two months after coming to Shanghai, he has already created a big business from scratch. Mr. Qiu Jin asked me to assist Brother Wen Qing well. Although I was wanted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Mr. Qiu Jin persuaded me to come back. When I entered the door, I saw Miss You giving a lecture in public, and she was still talking about chemistry. He is really a role model among women. Moreover, I heard from everyone that Mr. Wenqing is going to set up a school, give lectures, set up seminars, and set up a cram school. I knew that Mr. Wen Qing had a big plan. In that case, Brother Wen Qing might as well talk to me about what he plans to do and how he plans to serve me. I'm listening. ”

Chen Tianhua talked eloquently, and everything he said was the main point. You Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard Chen Tianhua praise Chen Tianhua so much for the great significance of being able to lecture as a woman. Although Chen Ke is usually respected by everyone, he rarely impresses others so much. In the face of a revolutionary propagandist like Chen Tianhua, Chen Ke was really impressed. There is a specialization in the art industry, and Chen Tianhua is not a little better than himself in this regard.

"Xingtai told me the truth, and I have to be honest with each other. I invited Xingtai to come in order to make Xingtai the head of our party's propaganda department. I'm a man who talks about revolution, and everything I know is true. But I don't know how to tell you, and I absolutely believe in Xingtai's ability to publicize. I didn't expect Xingtai to come to us so soon, which is also a providence. I need a lot of manuscripts to give lectures now, and I need the help of my brothers from Xingtai. I wonder if Brother Xingtai is willing? ”

Everyone has always had great respect for Chen Ke. This respect comes from Chen Ke's profound knowledge, especially Chen Ke's ruthlessness. Chen Ke can stand on the front line of work, doing the most and resting the least. He can come up with a solution to anything, and he can lead his comrades to solve the problem. That's why everyone is willing to follow Chen Ke.

Chen Tianhua is a different type, he is clever and inflammatory. Speaking of revolutionary truths, it is simple to understand, just such a short time together, everyone can feel a kind of high-spiritedness. After listening to the conversation between Chen Ke and Chen Tianhua, everyone understood that Chen Ke had long wanted to pull Chen Tianhua into the team and take up the position of propaganda minister. Everyone thought it was a match made in heaven.

Qi Huishen has always believed that Chen Ke's ability is far from being brought into play, and at this time he is even more firm in his opinion. Chen Ke usually never says so much, but from Chen Tianhua's recruitment, it can be seen that Chen Ke has a deep understanding of the current talents. It can even be said to be far-sighted. He hurriedly said, "Brother Xingtai, we are eager for you now. In any case, we must ask Brother Xingtai to join us in the revolution. ”

"Brother Wen Qing, I don't know if your revolution can overthrow the Manchu Qing by force." Chen Tianhua asked.

"Of course, it must be overthrown by force."

"How are you going to overthrow it?"

"Build a base first. Then gradually expand. It is the road of first revolutionary secession, then expansion of the liberated areas, and finally the unification of China. ”

"Where is this revolutionary base going to begin?"

"Anhui."

"Anhui?" Chen Tianhua frowned after hearing this, "Since you want to start an incident in Anhui, why do you want to develop in Shanghai now?" ”

"I need to gather party members and train cadres."

Chen Tianhua still didn't quite understand Chen Ke's train of thought, "The comrades gathered in Shanghai went to the Anhui Revolution and went around such a big circle, can it be done?" ”

"I am not prepared to rely on the gentry and merchants. They can't be revolutionary. Chen Ke replied, "Why do you need revolution today? To save China. Xingtai, who are we going to save if we save China? ”

Chen Tianhua pondered for a moment, "To save the world, do you still want to divide each other?" ”

"Why has China fallen to such a point? As far as I am concerned, it is not that there is a problem with the imperial court, but that there is a problem with the system. If the revolution does not reform this system and let the world change to a new revolutionary system, China will not be able to save it. And who suffers the most from today's system? ”

"In this ......, the people have suffered the most." Chen Tianhua replied.

Hearing this, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since Chen Tianhua began to expound the revolutionary truth, Chen Ke has not been able to gain the upper hand, and even fell behind many times, but the revolution must be the people's revolution that Chen Ke wants, this is Chen Ke's bottom line, if Chen Tianhua's ministry can correct this position, even if Chen Tianhua is amazingly talented, Chen Ke can only use him, and will not really regard him as his comrade.

"So let's look at today, the Manchus just want to maintain their rule, they definitely don't want revolution. What this gentry wants is power, no matter what they say about revolution, but where do the gentry's interests come from? I still rely on the old system to make profits. It was only the old system that could not resist the foreigners, and the gentry wanted revolution for their own interests. This revolution was nothing more than the overthrow of the Manchus, and the gentry themselves came to power. So the revolution of the gentry was only for self-preservation. The merchant revolution, pure profit. Look at the compradors, as long as it is profitable, it is not a problem for them to make money with foreigners. And what about the people? As long as this old system is maintained, no matter who is in power at the top, the people will certainly suffer and be precarious. If the people start a revolution, it will be to smash all these old systems to smash to the ground, and the revolutionary people will never stop until they establish a new system in which all the people will not be impoverished and not be bullied, and if they do not establish a new world in which all the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

After saying this in one breath, Chen Ke pointed to the vat of dyeing cloth in the courtyard. "Now China is like this vat, thick and heavy, and the people are like the seedlings of the big tree under this vat, crushed to the point of breathlessness. This vat is full of all kinds of suffering. More than 60% of the annual rent, more than 100% usury. Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, wizards, foreign religions, there are all kinds of tattered things in this tank. But in order to survive, the people cannot but drink the water in this tank. So this seedling, which should have become a towering tree, was suppressed, poisoned, and either died young, or grew into a ghostly monster. But once this jar is broken, a new era is opened, and the seedlings of this big tree can grow freely. Sunshine, air, water, everything the people need, all are available. Then the seedling will grow into a towering tree. In the past, the reason why we could not see the big tree was because this tank was at work, and our revolution was to destroy the old system and open up a glorious future of the people's revolution. ”

This was the first time that Chen Ke analyzed the revolutionary situation, because the companions he was now working with were all gentry, landlords, and compradors. There is even Hua Xiongmao, a martial artist inside. If we do not allow everyone to understand the world and the economy first, but blindly propagate the core interests of the revolution, we will tear our small groups apart.

Everyone has his own class character, and if comrades cannot rely on the revolution to obtain benefits and rely on the revolution to establish themselves, Chen Ke, as the "leader of the revolution," will only blindly demand that comrades dedicate everything and sacrifice everything. Chen didn't believe anyone would actually do that. If there really is such a person, Chen Ke will not hesitate to think that this person is crazy.

Therefore, Chen Ke is always very careful to do things and guide comrades. But Chen Tianhua's arrival made Chen Ke have to say such things. In other words, Chen Tianhua has stimulated the revolutionary interest of the comrades and paved the way, so that Chen Ke can follow this line to talk about some core issues of the revolution.

Chen Ke did not have a lot of historical knowledge, and he did not know that Chen Tianhua had participated in the Huaxinghui Uprising. Chen Ke thought that Chen Tianhua was just an excellent propagandist, and then he studied and studied abroad. Therefore, Chen Ke thought that Chen Tianhua might not accept his words. Unexpectedly, Chen Tianhua not only did not object, but kept nodding with a serious expression. "What Brother Wen Qing said is extremely true. After listening to what Brother Wen Qing said, ...... Mr. Qiu Jin praised Brother Wen Qing so much, he really didn't have any words. ”

Other comrades had heard Chen Ke talk about some revolutionary truths before, but the span in the middle was too large, and it was always like seeing flowers in a fog. Listening to Chen Tianhua's words, everyone's feeling is high-spirited and excited, Chen Tianhua explained clearly some things within reach, and the actual situation that everyone has to face. Moreover, the solution proposed by Chen Tianhua is also very feasible. It seems that as long as you do it, you can change China and save China.

In this mood, everyone listened to Chen Ke's words again, and what was not easy to understand suddenly became clear. But everything Chen Ke said tore off the surface of the world and pointed out the truth of the world to everyone to see clearly. When you can see the world clearly, the more you feel that the world is simple and cruel, and the contradictions are profound and acute. The mood of the crowd changed from excitement to heaviness. For a moment no one spoke.

"Xingtai, are you willing to temporarily serve as the propaganda minister of our party? I desperately need someone like you to join me now. Chen Ke ignored the silence of his comrades, he asked seriously.

"Brother Wen Qing, I am willing to join." Chen Tianhua replied without thinking.
