Chapter XXVI: The Death of the Nation 4

When the ship arrived in Nagasaki, Yu Youren had not yet recovered from the excitement of that day, and his mind was a scene of everyone falling to the ground and bleeding, and a scene of Wang Jitong raising the flag and moving forward, and all the things of that day had been burned in his heart and could not be forgotten.

When he was stunned and recalled, the person outside said: "Right Ren, the Japanese doctor is here, didn't you say that you have a headache, do you want him to come and take a look." ”

Seeing that it was a Japanese doctor, Yu Youren hurriedly said: "Yes, I have a headache." Come in, please. ”

A doctor with short hair and white clothes came in, Yu Youren invited him to the side room, and after saying the code, "Is it Mr. Yu?" ”

"It's me." Yu Zixun said with a smile that he had returned to Japan since Zhong Guanguan went to Germany, but as the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department paid more and more attention to the Fuxing Society, his activities became more and more secretive.

Yu Youren hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Mr. Yu, how is Shanghai?" How is Mr. Xiao Xu? "When I arrived at the wharf that day, after the coffin was on the boat, the injured were sent to the concession hospital, and Yu Youren was always on the ship, and he didn't know anything about what happened next.

"Right Ren, don't worry. They're all fine. Yu Zixun said, "It's just that we still sacrificed seven comrades,"

"Hmm." Yu Youren nodded vigorously, "One day this revenge will be avenged!" ”

"Hey! Although they sacrificed, the sacrifice was worthwhile! Yu Zixun said, "Now the Shanghai bloody case has caused a sensation all over the world, and almost all countries are condemning the barbaric and bloody Manchu Qing Dynasty!" Hey, when I read in the newspaper that you only injured those murderers, I was very angry at how you were so bookish, but now it seems that the mercy of your men is even more brutal. ”

Yu Zixun said, took out a stack of newspapers from the medical box and gave it to Yu Youren: "These are some recent newspapers, you can read them if you have nothing to do on the boat." ”

Yu Youren nodded. After taking it, he asked, "How long will it take to go to Tokyo, and what should I do when I get there?" ”

"There are still three or four days to go to Tokyo, and the Tokyo side is ready, and Lin Ji will pick you up at the pier at that time! There will be a parade at that time. ”

"Parade?!" After experiencing that time, Yu Youren was very sensitive to the word parade.

Looking at Yu Youren's appearance, Yu Zixun explained with a smile: "The scale of the Russo-Japanese War is beyond the imagination of the Japanese, half of its military spending comes from foreign loans, and the country has also been looted very thoroughly. The war lasted for a long time, and the Japanese were very poor. In addition, there are many people who died in land battles, and many people have affection. Now that there is such a thing in China, hype can ease the domestic contradictions, and let the people see that the countries of the world are on Japan's side, so that the people can continue to be patient. ”

Yu Youren is not very familiar with the situation in Japan. Seeing this, he said: "As long as I can promote my spirit, there is nothing bad." Mr. Yu. What should I be careful of when I go to Tokyo? ”

Yu Zixun listened to him ask. took out a small notebook from his arms, "The matters that should be paid attention to are all in it, and you will burn it after you read it." In addition, special attention should be paid to the fact that the Japanese police strictly supervise the Chinese, and even more closely monitor the revolutionaries. You have to be extra careful when you talk, meet guests, and find women. ”

"Understood. I'm going to make sure that the Japanese don't get anything. Yu Youren had been trained in counter-espionage earlier, and the Revival Society had been emphasizing beware of Japanese spies, and he wanted to see how powerful they were.

Seeing his seriousness, Yu Zixun smiled and said, "Right Ren." Don't be so strict, you still have to give some news to the Japanese, but the real and the false are involved. Seeing that Yu Youren didn't understand his words very well, Yu Zixun smiled, "It's okay, you just follow the manual in the meeting." ”

Yu Zixun didn't stay long before he went out to see the next patient, and after he left, Yu Youren recalled what he said again, and remembered the key points firmly, and then opened his newspaper and read it. Although I can't read Japanese, I can still understand the Chinese characters mixed in Japan, and when I found the newspapers of the previous days, many of them used "Bloody Case", "Tragic Case", and "National Hero" as the headline, and some of them were accompanied by photos, and the procession and the scene after the shooting were close-up. But Yu Youren didn't understand Japanese after all, so he had to turn it over and began to look through the pamphlet left by Yu Zixun.

When Yu Youren arrived in Nagasaki, he was in the Yellow Afternoon Residence in Ushigome-ku, Tokyo. Just as everyone in the room was discussing violently, Chen Tianhua's shout came from outside, "Wuwu, Wuwu, they are coming, they are coming, they have already arrived in Nagasaki, they have arrived in Nagasaki......

Hearing that it was Chen Tianhua's voice, Huang Xing asked left and right, "What's wrong with Xingtai?" ”

"Xu is the people of the Revival Society who are coming soon." Song Jiaoren said.

As he spoke, Chen Tianhua rushed in, holding a piece of paper, and said excitedly: "They have arrived in Nagasaki, and they will be in Yokohama in a few days." They are ......" Speaking of this, Chen Tianhua cried, "At noon, on the day they arrive, let's go to Yokohama to greet them." ”

Everyone present has already seen Chen Tianhua's excited attitude, Huang Xing said: "Xingtai, we are discussing the welcome meeting that day, you can sit down." ”

Next to him, Song Jiaoren said: "Xingtai, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is so brutal, China can't succeed without revolution, right?" ”

Chen Tianhua heard this: "Hey. What I like is that I have people in China who can go out of the customs and reject Russia, although there are few people, but they fully represent my spiritual ears in China. ”

Song Jiaoren was stunned when he heard this, Chen Tianhua was bewitched by the royalists since the beginning of the year, and actually wanted to leave Japan to go to Beijing to submit a letter to the Manchu court, but fortunately Huang Xing found out early, and everyone took turns to do his work, although he had not yet been convinced, but at least he had no intention of going north to submit a letter for the time being.

"The Revival Society is just rejecting Russia, how can he be anti-Qing?" It was Zhang Ji who spoke, the word Boquan, a native of Cangzhou, Hebei, and his personality was the same as Chen Tianhua, and he was also extremely intense, but his fierceness was not tears, but the use of force. "In the face of the Qing soldiers who slaughtered them, these people only dared to be wounded but did not dare to kill, and such a servile attitude is simply taking revolution as the way to advance."

In the Shanghai Massacre, two snipers from the Fuxing Society only wounded the Qing soldiers who opened the gun, but did not kill them. This has led to two theories, one is that the Renaissance Society has mercy and benevolence, which is mainly the statement of major newspapers and public opinion; Another argument is that the Revival Revolution was not complete. Reverence for the Manchus, a statement made primarily by radicals of the Tokyo Revolutionary Party. In fact, when Wang Ji discussed this policy with several people, he thought that the march was a bitter ploy, and if he really wanted to let the two snipers go to fight, the Qing soldiers must have died more than their own people, and then the Manchu Qing would say that the revolutionary party was brutal, so the final decision was to injure the threateners, and the front row of the parade was voluntarily stepped forward.

So, as soon as the incident happened, the result was that seven people would die in the revival. Nine students were killed, plus countless wounded, and the Qing soldiers only shrank after six wounds and did not dare to shoot. Seeing this result, all newspapers in Shanghai said in editorials that the Manchus were brutal, and even the newspaper of Fukaisen condemned the Manchus' mishandling of this move. And the consuls of various countries in Shanghai also criticized the Manchu Qing Dynasty for shooting innocent students, of course. Because the position of Russia is to praise the Manchus, although France is limited to a bad position to criticize the Manchus. But private rhetoric was still on the side of the revolutionary party.

"Boquan. This is the bitter ploy of the Renaissance, and these people are not only shrewd but also ruthless! It is really vertical and horizontal, painstaking and lonely, first in the northeast and then in Shanghai, so leading the general trend of the militarism and arousing the will of the people to oppose the Qing Dynasty. There will be capable people in revival. No wonder they are on the scale they are today. It was Yang Du who spoke, a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, who regarded himself as a descendant of the emperor.

As soon as he said this, Huang Xing's face was hot. The Huaxing Association can only retreat in a corner of Japan today, which is also due to the incompetence of his president. I think that at the beginning, when the Fuxing Society refused to participate in the Changsha Uprising, he still felt that the revolutionary will of these people was not strong, but now it seems that their policy of first going abroad and then domestic is undoubtedly correct. Of course, this is also his thinking in the middle of the night, in fact, the revolutionary party at that time had a tradition of taking advantage of the fire to loot since Sun Wen, the first uprising of the Xingzhonghui was in the first afternoon, and similarly, the uprising of the Self-Reliance Army was also in Gengzi, and the understanding of the revolutionary party was the same: taking advantage of the invasion of foreign enemies, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the most likely to succeed when the uprising was too busy to take care of itself, but the result of each uprising ended in failure.

Seeing that everyone was a little discouraged, Song Jiaoren said: "Yang Zhongda said that he could go to the three eastern provinces to exercise horse bandits, and I would ...... them."

Before Song Jiaoren finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Kuiyi, "Escape Chu, it's too late to go now." The Black Mountain Demon, the largest horse bandit in Liaodong, has descended to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

"What?" Everyone in the room was shocked. This Black Mountain Demon is a tyrant in Liaodong, and it has actually been cleared.

"Indeed, Mr. Hirayama said it when he came in the morning. This Black Mountain Demon and Han Banner Zhang Rong don't know how to hook up, this Zhang Rong ancestor was originally born in the Han Eight Banners, and he has been guarding the tomb in Xingjing since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and he is considered a wang clan in Liaodong, and under his matchmaking, the Black Mountain Demon Department has descended to the Manchu Dynasty, and now they are the commanders of the Manchu Governor's Battalion. Huang Xing also knew the news, and he shook his head as he spoke, only feeling that he was still a step too late.

"Isn't there still a ...... Wang on the Russian side" said Zhang Ji, who was very loud when he first spoke, and when he saw everyone looking at him, his voice became smaller and quieter, and finally he couldn't go on. Unlike those people who listened to the commentary, all the people in the Guannai despised this kind of person who recognized the thief as their father, and did not say that they contacted him, even if he came to contact the revolutionary party, for fear that the people would ignore him.

Although the meeting was forked, it continued under the coordination of Yang Du. However, after discussing the greeting, the small meeting of the Huaxing Association was held, and this time their topic was how to do more in-depth cooperation with the Fuxing Association.

On May 12, at the Yokohama wharf, the Nagasaki Maru entered the port very early, and when the ship was still stopped for quarantine, someone boarded the ship in a small boat, and after getting on the ship, he found Yu Youren. Yu Youren knew that this person must be a comrade, so he introduced him into the inner cabin to narrate.

It was Xie Xiaoshi who got on the ship, and with the revival meeting being hidden again at the beginning of this year, only the people from the China Times newspaper office were in Tokyo to do business, and there was actually no big deal for him to get on the ship this time, it was just that he was worried that Yu You would not be able to take care of him on the ship. But it's okay, but Yu Youren's heart is a lot more settled, at least in this foreign country, he can still feel the warmth of his comrades.

After the quarantine of the steamer was completed, it landed on the shore and fell anchor, at this time there were already many students on the dock raising flags and cheering, Yu Youren stood on the boat and looked at the people on the shore with a warm heart, but he turned to look at the west, that was the direction of the motherland, he could not see anything, only the vast sea.

There was nothing special about the welcome ceremony, except that Yu Youren's handshake was numb, and when the passengers of the ship were gone, a team of mighty soldiers came over neatly. The white military cap, white gloves, and dark green tweed uniform of the leader were embellished with bright copper buckles, shoulder badges and collar emblems, and with the five-color medals and seniority medals on the chest, as well as the strict high collar and tight belt, the whole person looked extremely powerful. The officer's face was full of solemnity, and he stepped forward to salute Yu Youren solemnly, and then said loudly: "The officers and men of the Fuxing Army thank Comrade Yu for escorting the martyrs to the shore.

Yu Youren was shocked in his heart, he didn't know how to return the salute, and hurriedly said: "It's all comrades." No need to say thanks! ”

When the officer heard him say the word comrade, his eyes immediately heated, and after he finished saluting, he took the soldier on board. Yu Youren hurriedly asked Xie Xiaoshi: "What is this?" Is this the Ba'ath Army? ”

"Yes. The person just now was Yang Guobi, a native of Fuyang, Anhui Province, who dropped out of the Jiangnan Army Academy since the rejection of Russia the year before last. Then I joined the association and went to the Northeast to resist Russia last year. In order to make an impact in Tokyo. Mr. Cheng specially sent a team to guard the martyr's coffin. ”

"Is that Mr. Cheng coming?" Yu Youren whispered.

"I don't know." Xie Xiaoshi said: "I guess I can't come." ”

Yu Youren did not ask any more questions. After a while, the soldiers who entered carried the coffin out and put it on the carriage prepared in advance, and then the group left the dock and headed for Tokyo.

The arrival of the martyrs of the Renaissance Society and the funeral on the day of the Japanese made the entire Tokyo Chinese, especially the international students, boil, and Yang Shu, the Manchu minister to Japan, hurriedly sent a note to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When the Japanese side asked the Japanese side to cancel the funerals of the members of the Renaissance Society, the Japanese side did not reply at first, and only after repeated notes did he inform him that the funeral was in accordance with Japanese law, and that the Japanese Government had no legitimate reason to stop the legitimate acts of the overseas Chinese. Yang Shu was helpless. The only way to send a telegram to Beijing was to ask the Beijing Military Aircraft Department to negotiate the matter with the upper echelons of the Japanese government, but there was no reply after the telegram arrived, and the imperial court was still having a headache about how to calm down the upsurge caused by the Shanghai Bloody Incident, and at the same time it had to try its best to deal with the condemnation of the ministers of various countries, and did not want to cause more trouble.

On the morning of May 14th, in the Jinhui Pavilion in Kanda District, Tokyo, the former photo studio (movie theater) has been arranged into a solemn mourning hall, Yu Youren looked at the Japanese servants who were still busy in the side hall, and asked Lin Ji: "Brother Baishui, what else is there to do?" ”

"Oh. This ......" Lin Qian looked at the busy Japanese, and couldn't understand what they were going to do, just when he wanted to go up and ask, the lights in the side hall were all turned off, and a beam of light on the high wall opposite in the darkness suddenly shone in, Yu Youren didn't see the big photo, I don't understand what this is for, but Lin Ji has been in Japan for a long time, but he has seen it, pulled him around, and then saw that some soldiers on the white wall behind him were fighting, and the big picture was really silent, but he was still stunned by the picture in front of him. The big photo stopped after a few minutes, and when the lights came on again, Yu Youren felt like a world away, and the Northeast, the battlefield, and the Reconstruction Army, which were only words in his mind before, came alive at that moment. He looked expectantly at the shining window on the high wall and asked, "Why don't you let it go?" ”

Lin Ji was also puzzled, but he knew that he would release the Fuxing Army capitalization today, so he said: "Maybe it's over, maybe it's just a test release." Today's matter, I'm just an assistant, and it's the Yin Pavilion who is really in charge. ”

Yin Ge is Zhang Chengyue, who also came with the Renaissance Army, his identity is the first phase of the South African Military Academy, one of the general political commissars of the Renaissance Army, but these are not known to Yu Youren, I saw that although this person was wearing a mighty military uniform, he looked like a literati.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a qiē was arranged, Yu Youren stood at the door of the Jinhui Pavilion, at this time the long queue of international students had been lined up in an invisible place, he straightened the white flowers on his chest, and stood in the position arranged earlier, the early summer sun penetrated through the clouds, but it disappeared after a while, this was really an extremely oppressive cloudy day.

The memorial service began soon, the first batch of students went in and cried, Chen Ximin and others had few classmates in Tokyo, but Zou Rong had studied in Tokyo, and was keen to give speeches on stage, there were many people who knew each other, Zhang Ji, Zhang Shizhao, Cai Yi, Hu Jingyi, Jiang Baili, Chen Tianhua and others were all his friends, these people had a deep relationship with him, and they had tears before they entered. However, in addition to their tears, more students were unusually quiet, and the death was extremely intense for the revolutionaries, but as not revolutionaries, they still felt that they should not disturb the souls of the dead. They all came in silently, silently bowed to the large portraits of the five people, and then piled up the white paper flowers they brought with them in front of the coffin, and then bowed their heads and left with sad expressions. But. They didn't go far, but lined up along the road in front of the Kam Fai Pavilion, where the funeral procession would leave in a few hours.

Yu Youren looked at the crowd that went in and came out with indescribable sentimentality, but he couldn't say why he was like this. Is it because of the comrades in the Jinhui Pavilion now? Or is it because of the comrades who died in Shanghai? Still is...... Or is it because the nation has been enslaved for hundreds of years and the country is almost divided? These reasons went over in his mind one by one, and he couldn't be sure.

While he was thinking, the memorial service was almost over, and Zhang Chengyue began to speak on stage above the mourning hall, Yu Youren couldn't see him, but his voice was broadcast outside the Jinhui Pavilion:

Ladies and gentlemen, today we are here to say goodbye to Zou Rong, Chen Ximing, Wu Baodi, Xu Liezu, and Wang Shizheng. After this day they will rest in peace. Some of them are fathers, some are single; Some have fierce personalities and are good at arguing with others, while others like to be alone and only like to read; Among them are Sichuanese, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Fujian...... No matter how you look at it, they are all different, but no matter how different. They are all Han Chinese and warriors.

Some of them were poisoned, some were blown up, some were shot, some were tied up and killed by knives, no matter how they died. It doesn't matter if their death is worthless or not. It makes people feel so sorry and so distressed. However, what is more regrettable and distressing than this is that although they all died for the country, they have no way to bury them in their homeland, so we can only bury them in this foreign land.

These people have shed their heads and shed their blood for this country, but the rulers of this country do not take their sacrifices to heart! The only thing they want is to maintain their dictatorial rule and ensure their untold wealth. And today we are proposing a revolution for that purpose! If we do not overthrow this corrupt and brutal dynasty, then our Han people will suffer from slavery forever; If we don't change this fragmented country into a different color, then our China will never rise up. Yesterday, five people fell outside the gate. Sixteen people fell in Shanghai, but tomorrow, tens of millions will get back on their feet; Today, thousands of people are here to pay tribute to their deceased, but in the future, more people will come to pay tribute to us who have died......

When Zhang Chengyue was about to finish speaking, a group of soldiers came out from the side of the Jinhui Pavilion, Yu Youren had never seen such a majestic and neat soldier, they had the same figure, the same manners, the same steps, white military hats, white gloves, and the dark green, dazzling and capable military uniform, all together, people had to marvel at such a majestic beauty. It seems that the steps are all calculated, but after Zhang Chengyue's words are finished, they just arrived at the door of the Jinhui Pavilion and stand still!

The memorial service was soon over, and when the students in the hall came out, they were immediately startled by the majestic phalanx outside, but soon the people inside pushed them out. The scheduled time to leave the museum was approaching, and five carriages were already waiting in front of the museum, and as soon as each coffin came out, the officer leading the team drank: "Ready!" Salute! ”

With this salute, the two hundred white gloves slowly and neatly raised to the tips of their eyebrows, and in their slow salute, time seemed to slow down, and the surrounding qiē was extremely silent, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and a faint sadness instantly soaked everyone's hearts; Five coffins, five incomparably brilliant beings, five slow and solemn salutations, this may seem insufficient, but it seems to be enough. The life and death of soldiers are in this salute, and their memorial is only in this salute.

With the officer's majestic command, in the eyes of everyone, the procession of the salute slowly turned around, marched slowly to the front of the carriage, and then kept moving forward without stopping. With the sound of the horse's hooves, the carriage also followed the phalanx slowly, driving past the funeral crowd, farther and farther. Just when everyone was still grieving, the loud military song sang:

You don't see it, the end of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please be long-tasseled;

You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan is far away, and the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds;

The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?

The situation is that the country is in danger like an egg, and the feather competition stops!

Abandon my old pen, and write me wartime,

More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.

Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Tartars without regard for himself! (To be continued......)
