Passing through Mexico, disembarking at Port Mobile, Alabama, then passing through Montgomery, Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington, D.C., and heading east to New York. Because Chen Guangshou and others were not there, Yang Rui had no trouble with affairs for a while, and he only traveled all the way, the wilderness of the southern United States was extremely vast, and the terrain was extremely flat, and the train traveled three hundred miles a day, and the two soon arrived in Washington, which was the meeting point with Chen Guangshou and others.

"Is there a big deal?" Yang Rui, who had just left the train station, saw Chen Guangshou and the first thing he asked was this.

"There are a couple of big things." Chen Guangshou said, "One is the ...... of civil unrest in various parts of the country."

"Did we get it?" Yang Ruiqi said.

"No, sir, it has nothing to do with us. In order to facilitate tax collection, all localities are nailing the door number and checking the household registration in order to find out the household registration of the population, so as to increase taxes and donations on a large scale. Since the end of last year, there have been acts of obstructing the government's household registration checks in various localities, and in the past few days it has become even more intense, with civil unrest breaking out in 55 counties and the household registration statistics offices in 27 counties being smashed. Shanghai judged that when the summer harvest and autumn harvest are harvested this year, it is estimated that there will be more civil unrest. Chen Guangshou said carefully. The year before, the National Assembly decided to raise taxes to run schools, build industries, build railways, and train new troops; these plans were very good and bold, but the money was very expensive, and the money could not come for nothing, so it could only be a tax increase for the people.

"Well, what else?" It is not uncommon for Guangxu to go out of the mountains, and the pace of the new policy has been accelerated, because under the rule of the existing political system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is a matter of course for large-scale civil unrest. It's just that it's coming so violently now, and the riots in more than fifty counties are somewhat unexpected by Yang Rui. After more than three years like this, I don't know what it will be like when I wait until the Xinhai year.

In addition, the boycott of Japanese goods is now more intense, and the Manchus could not stand the pressure of the Japanese government, and on the 9th of this month, the Manchus released Japanese munitions. On that day, 10,000 people gathered in Guangzhou, Wuchang, Changsha, Tianjin, Fengtian and other places, and most newspapers in China only designated this day as a day of national shame, and the National Assembly adjourned. However, there are also many protests from the Blue Vote Party's lawmakers, and the wave of rejection is even worse than before. Chen Guangshou said the second big thing, and he was very happy about it.

"Did Guangxu make an order?" No matter how chaotic the country is, Yang Rui doesn't care. The most important thing now is to break the myth of Guangxu's propaganda.

"There was no order. It's just that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Prince Li, and Prince Shiduo came forward to urge all localities to suppress the trend. Chen Guangshou said.

After the opening of the Manchu Congress, the prime minister of the cabinet was served by Prince Shiduo, who was known as a good man, but he was only a tablet, and Guangxu did not want to open a cabinet earlier. But this time, it was thanks to the cabinet. Its image of sainthood and heroism has not been damaged in the slightest by the boycott of Japanese goods.

"Fuck it." Yang Rui scolded. Although he knew this, he was still not angry, he had no good impression of Guangxu, especially when he wanted to make peace with Japan, which made him extremely disgusted, and the old witch of Cixi made a coup d'état, which had to make him shout good for this. Now Guangxu's public opinion is booming, and he is really the great enemy of the revolution. This kind of great enemy cannot be killed, but can only be dirty. But it is very difficult to be dirty, not to mention that he has changed the law and strengthened the country in the past, and now there is more Kang Liang jointly touted and then the propaganda work is very well done, so that the revival will not find a good way for a while.

Yang Rui was angry in his heart, and asked again, "What else is there?" ”

"In addition, I heard that the Manchu Military Aircraft Department was secretly discussing that the two base areas of Yanzhou and Linxi were ready to use various methods to solve Yanzhou first, and then deal with Linxi. The specific strategy set by the Qing army was to attack in the spring and defend in the autumn, advance step by step, and also set up large-scale regimental training in places close to the base areas. This is what Chen Guangshou is most worried about, and he speaks with a very worried expression.

"Spring attack and autumn defense, step by step? Do you still have a big group practice? Yang Rui repeated these words and asked, "Spring attack, can the Manchus fight?" ”

"What the General Staff means is that this is the fastest way to destroy the base area, and the spring attack will make the base area not have enough manpower to cultivate, and the autumn defense is for fear that we will cross the border and grab the grain outside the area, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not kill the enemy, but run off the grain. Approaching step by step is not to advance recklessly, but to occupy a place, consolidate a place, and organize and train a place in the regimental training armor, and our side will either fight a war of attrition with it, or retreat and avoid, and let them encroach step by step. Chen Guangshou said.

The strategy of the base has long been close to bankruptcy in Yang Rui's inner calculations, that is, the future generations do not rely entirely on this, his original intention is to appear at the same time in various bases, and then let the Manchu Qing overwhelmed, but the defeated army in Hangzhou has nowhere to go, so it can only occupy Yanzhou with great fanfare, but it has only been less than three years, and it will not be able to hold it.

"What does the staff say, is there any countermeasure?" Yang Rui asked.

"The General Staff believes that before spring ploughing, it should attack first to disrupt the Qing army's offensive, and when the grain is harvested in summer and autumn, it is necessary to attack everywhere and grab grain. As for the Qing army's step-by-step advance, it can only be a-for-tat decisive battle with it, otherwise, under the encroachment of heavy troops, the base area will collapse in a year. Chen Guangshou said. The strength and strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had an absolute advantage, and the Qing army under the battalion step by step was extremely difficult to deal with.

"Rivalry?" Yang Rui shook his head: "Thirty thousand against one hundred thousand?" ”

"The purpose of the staff is to drop the elite soldiers of Liaodong to Yanzhou - you can replace the airship with a larger pod, so that you can reinforce a platoon in Yanzhou at a time, and in a month, two airships can reinforce a battalion. In a year, it is a brigade, and if 10,000 people are put into battle, then the situation can be stabilized. Chen Guangshou introduced a plan of the General Staff.

"Airships are too dangerous, they can only transport goods, not people. There is no other way for the General Staff? Yang Rui asked, he thought of helium again, and he really didn't know how Yu Zixun's matter was doing.

"Then send soldiers in civilian clothes to approach the rear of the Manchu position empty-handed, and then the airship arrives with weapons by air, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, it is suddenly difficult, but now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has cut off the internal and external communications of the base area, it is difficult for these people to enter the base area, and they can only be difficult on the periphery of the base area, and once it is difficult, I don't know if they can withdraw." Chen Guangshou said another plan.

"Then send a special combat team, they are few and capable. Easy to escape. Yang Rui couldn't think of a second plan, so he said after hearing this.

"The number of special combat teams is small, can they be sent directly to the rear of the Manchu position by airship?" Chen Guangshou said. Yang Rui of the special combat team attaches great importance to it. The last time the alliance met Chaozhou, it almost sent them to sabotage.

"No, I can't. Airships are all hydrogen, and if they catch fire, they will be wiped out. Airships are expensive, but they are more expensive, and they must not be allowed to have any accidents. Yang Rui advised: "Also, let Yu Zixun help us book a ticket back to China, we will only stay in New York for three days and leave." "Yang Rui's original intention was to stay in New York for half a month and a month. Let's see if you can talk to Morgan or Rockefeller about a borrowing intention, mix up your face, and think about making plans for the future. But now it seems that the domestic situation is unclear, especially the resumption of the war in Yanzhou. The Northeast General Staff may not be able to know the war situation and political situation thoroughly. Yang Rui felt that in this case, it was better for him to return to Shanghai as soon as possible.

After Yang Rui finished speaking, when Chen Guangshou was about to make arrangements, Yang Rui stopped him again and asked, "What's the situation over there?" ”

"When I went to Hongmen to apologize the next day, Huang Sande was a little angry, but he didn't say anything, just asked me to spread the word that he had no intention of helping the alliance. Let Mr. not misunderstand, and also said that Hongmen has been against the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. I have never done anything that hurts relatives and makes enemies happy. Yang Rui didn't ask Chen Guangshou but forgot about it.

"And what do you think?" Yang Rui just smiled when he heard Huang Sande's words, so he didn't believe that Huang Sande didn't have a heart to help.

Huang Sande doesn't seem to have murderous intentions, but others can't tell. At least Huang Sande heard that Mr. had left San Francisco, and his whole body seemed to be relieved. Chen Guangshou was selected by Yang Rui as an assistant, and his heart is still very thin.

When he said this, Yang Rui smiled and said, "Sun Wen must be making trouble here." ”

"Then do you want to ...... him" Chen Guangshou asked, Yang Rui left San Francisco overnight Chen Guangshou still felt a little abrupt, but when he saw Huang Sande the next day, he looked at his expression, and felt that Yang Rui had left well. If he really wants to stay in San Francisco, maybe something will happen, since he has confirmed it in his heart, he naturally wants to strike first and do Sun Wen first.

"In the United States, who are you looking for? We had a quarrel in San Francisco, and if he dies now, outsiders will say that we did it. Besides, if he dies, how sad should the liberal democrats be, and where will the father of the nation and the father of liberal democracy shout in the future? Wouldn't it be better to keep him and watch him go from the father of the nation to the thief step by step? Yang Rui said with a smile, he still wants Sun Wen to live until after World War II, isn't it a pity to die now. Chen Guangshou didn't understand Yang Rui's perverted psychology, and saw that there was nothing to do, so he retreated and went out to arrange the rest of the trip.

With the change of the domestic situation, the originally relaxed itinerary suddenly became extremely tight, and the group took the latest train to New York that afternoon. After arriving in New York, Yang Rui contacted Homer Lee to wait for a meeting with Morgan's side, and at the same time met with the envoy of the Lee royal family from North Korea. This time, he saw a famous person in later generations, which made him slightly surprised. Yang Rui was surprised, Syngman Rhee walked into the hotel where Yang Rui lived, but he was also very surprised, not the luxury of Yang Rui's residence, but the simplicity of Yang Rui's residence, and he wondered if the person in front of him was a liar.

"Mr. Lee. I've been looking up for a long time. Yang Rui looked at Syngman Rhee with an uncertain expression, very calm, he didn't know that Syngman Rhee was actually a secret envoy of Gojong of North Korea, and he didn't know that after taking the opportunity to meet Roosevelt in Honolulu in 19o5 and the talks were fruitless, he had been stranded in the United States, and he was ready to persuade the United States to help North Korea become independent. What he now knows is that Syngman Rhee is the Korean Revolutionary Party responsible for handing over the eunuchs and palace maids, and according to this, his relationship with Gojong of North Korea should be extraordinary.

"Chenglong has seen Mr." Syngman Rhee hesitated in his heart, but he still bowed to Yang Rui very respectfully, after all, Gaozong Li Xi, who had already abdicated and had no straw to grasp, had already regarded these Qing Revolutionary Party as the only saviors, and before he abdicated, he tried his best to find a group of reliable personnel in the palace to send them to the United States to meet the requirements of the Qing Revolutionary Party, and at the same time secretly ordered Syngman Rhee to make every effort to befriend the Qing Revolutionary Party.

"Mr. Li, don't be polite, did we bring the person we wanted?" Yang Rui didn't want to be polite with him, so he talked about things directly.

"It's all brought, five people in all, in the carriage downstairs." Hearing that Yang Rui asked about something important, Syngman Rhee hurriedly replied.

"Five?" Yang Rui said, he thought there were at least a dozen people, but he didn't want to have only five people.

"Yes. An elderly eunuch who is very familiar with all the affairs in the palace and is also very proficient in Chinese. Then there are two female officials and a palace maid, who are also very familiar with the royal etiquette and law, and they also speak Chinese. Finally......" Syngman Rhee paused again when he said this, and said: "In the end, in order to feel that Mr. tried his best to help, my emperor gave a royal daughter to serve Mr. Diet and daily life. ”

Five people came, and one was a bootlegg. Yang Rui didn't like anti-Semitism, and was only worried about whether these four people could be qualified to support the scene for the former Ming clan. He had no choice but to ask again, "What about all the things you wanted, did you bring them?" ”

I felt Yang Rui's dissatisfaction. Syngman Rhee hurriedly said: "It's all brought, it's all brought, the dragon robe, the holy decree, the pen and ink, and the seal letter, this qiē is ready." ”

I heard that Syngman Rhee said that the dragon robe is ready. Yang Rui immediately stopped his words. "Okay. Bring people up first. Remember, if the people are not reliable, then our agreement will be null and void, and if these people are not useful, you will have to help me find someone. ”

"Well said, well said." Syngman Rhee hurriedly responded, "These people are reliable, if there are not enough people." We'll definitely look for it again. It's just ......" Syngman Rhee suddenly put forward his own request and said, "It's just." Sir, we hope that the scale of the military academy can be larger, can it be accommodating. ”

"As long as you give money and pay attention to secrecy, then I have no objection. But if you think that you can get rid of the Japanese in three or five years, it is impossible. Yang Rui smiled, only thinking that this Syngman Rhee was very late to meet the stitches.

"Then may I ask you, sir, when will our kingdom be restored?" Syngman Rhee said.

"Korea has now been completely annexed by Japan, and there is no hope for five years of recovery, and it is difficult to achieve results without ten years, but it will definitely be recovered within 30 years. All you have to do is to gather up your strength when the time comes. Now that the great powers have recognized Japan's annexation of Korea, if you want to recover it, apart from your desperate efforts and China's help in the future, who else will help you? Yang Rui looked at him and said with a smile, China can still find a lot of comfort for North Korea.

"But my king...... Our king has been forced to abdicate, and he hopes to see the recovery of the 3,000-mile rivers and mountains of Korea in his lifetime. Syngman Rhee said Gojong's request, this Gojong is already fifty years old, and under the house arrest of the Japanese, I really don't know if he will live to thirty years later.

"If nothing else, you can see it." Yang Rui comforted, "But the recovery of North Korea cannot be determined according to personal wishes, it can only look at the international form at that time, if the international form is favorable, then it will naturally be recovered, if the international form is unfavorable, then it can only be ambushed." You will be out at that time, and the king's order will not be affected. ”

Yang Rui's international situation dashed Gaozong's hopes, but Syngman Rhee agreed with Yang Ruizhi's statement, and he himself was a democrat and was very disdainful of imperial power. When he stood up and bowed to his farewell, he had the five men sent up. These five people, one is an old eunuch with a white beard, although he is old, he still has the spirit, he only looked at Yang Rui, and then there were two female officials around thirty years old and two young women, all of whom were dressed in the palace and looked antique, and the girl who gave it to Yang Rui still looked a little beautiful.

After Yang Rui glanced at these people, he said to everyone: "No matter what you only thought before you came, but starting today, don't think about it, you are no longer Koreans from now on, but Chinese." In the future, all you have to do is to do what you can, don't ask questions, don't do things that you shouldn't do, otherwise, I can guarantee that you won't see the sun tomorrow. Do you understand everything? ”

Yang Rui didn't want to talk to these people at length, just said a few words casually, he said casually, but it sounded very ordinary in these few, after all, there are such rules in the palace. At that moment, several people said in unison, "Yes." ”

Then the old eunuch said in a sharp voice: "Old slave Li Xian, please send a messenger." ”

Yang Rui was taken aback by his voice, and said after a glance: "Don't worry, I will arrange for you to go to a new residence in a while, and we will arrange things after a few days." "Then let them take them down.

After they left, Yang Rui said to Chen Guangshou: "Review the political affairs and see if there are any problems." ”

After Yang Rui saw Syngman Rhee, he received a call back from Homer Lee, the telegram only said that the loan amount of 50 million US dollars was very large, and now those bankers have no way to make a decision on whether to take out a loan in a short time, so it will take a while to ...... the clouds. However, according to Yang Rui's feelings, this money is afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the loan, and Homer Li can only delay the time in order not to disappoint himself.

The loan meeting failed, and Rockefeller was not in New York, Yang Rui's last thing left was to meet Zhu Kuanji, he was only seven years old when he was taken out of Hunan by Cai Yuanpei in O3, and now five years have passed, and he is already twelve years old. Yang Rui didn't want to see this person, but when it came to today, he had to see him. However, before meeting him, Yang Rui still went to see Yu Zixun.

"Did you tell him?" Yang Rui looked at Yu Zixun and asked, this Zhu Kuanji was taught by Cai Yuanpei in Shanghai before, but now it is mainly Yu Zixun and Sheng Shudong who are taking care of him.

"I told him," Yu Zixun shook his head, "he actually understands everything, he's too smart." ”

"Clever?" Yang Rui smiled, "How smart?" ”

"Very smart, he knows what we're going to do as soon as he says it, and then he just clamos to see his father and grandfather." Yu Zixun said: "Shudong finally persuaded him to go down, but today I cried for another day." ”

"Well, it's not good to be unwilling. Everything else is ready. When Yang Rui heard this, he also began to shake his head. Shudong, can you send a letter from Hunan? Yang Rui asked Sheng Shudong on the side.

"Sir, there is no contact with Hunan anymore, and if I want to write to them again, I will definitely not reply." Sheng Shudong said, this Zhu Kuansu is considered to be coerced and abducted by him, and the people of the Zhu family hate him to the core, even if they believe it, they will not persuade him.

"Is he afraid to cry, or is he crying when he comes home to see his parents?" The child Yang Rui has never raised it, in fact, none of the people in the Revival Association have raised it, so it is extremely difficult to get the child.

"He was afraid to cry, especially as soon as he told him about the former Ming Dynasty, that he was the descendant of the former Ming Dynasty, he began to cry, he knew that we were a rebellion, and he was probably afraid." Sheng Shudong said.

"Didn't you tell him the story of Zhu Baba, how the Manchus slaughtered the Han people, and the three massacres in Jiading on the tenth day of Yangzhou?" Yang Rui asked again, and he remembered the set of things about political work again.

"Sir, I've talked about it all, but he still cries, probably scared." Sheng Shudong said that he was actually Zhu Kuanfu's teacher, and the lessons given to Zhu Kuansu were also carefully arranged. It's just that the thought of rebellion makes children still afraid.

Yang Rui heard that they were talking so difficult, so he wanted to meet himself, he only went upstairs, and after opening the door, he saw a handsome child shrinking in the corner of the room, with tears on his face, and he couldn't help but say: "Your surname is Zhu, isn't it?" ”

A tall man came in from outside the room menacingly, and then the first thing he said was to ask his name, Zhu Kuansu looked at this person, didn't dare to answer, just nodded.

Yang Rui asked again: "Have you read your score?" ”

Zhu Kuansu nodded again.

Yang Rui continued: "Do you know that the Manchurians killed the Han people? ”

He nodded anyway.

Yang Rui said: "Since you all know, why don't you rebel?" Is it a fear of death? ”

"I'm ......" Yang Rui pressed forward step by step, and Zhu Kuanji really didn't know what to say. Yang Rui said again: "If you don't rebel, then someone will definitely kill you, and then pretend to be Zhu Kuanji, and then take everyone to rebel together." Whether it's dead or alive, you have to think clearly. ”

After Yang Rui finished talking about the threat of life and death, Zhu Kuansu looked at the door with his eyes, Sheng Shudong, Cai Yuanpei and Yu Zixun all knew his identity, so everyone was very good to him, and now there was a threat to his life and death, which only made Zhu Kuansu afraid in his heart and just wanted to find Sheng Shudong.

"Don't look, they can't save you." Yang Rui said, looked at him again and shook his head and said, "Hey! is so afraid of death, it is really a shame for Zhu Yuanzhang. If you really die, I'm afraid that even your ancestors won't have the face to see you. ”

"I'm not afraid of death." Under the agitation, the child suddenly enlightened, "I just want to discuss with my father and mother." ”

"But they're not there." Yang Rui said, "Give you a day to think about it, one is to be the king of Min in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to throw it into the sea to feed the fish, you think clearly." Yang Rui only said this, and then went out. (To be continued......)
