After some conversation, he didn't expect that his work had become a matter of public and private affairs, Chen Qicai smiled and said: "Second brother, how can the Revival Society be so wary of calculating the Alliance?" It stands to reason that they are all revolutionary parties, and everyone should work together. ”

"The third brother's words are wrong." Chen Qimei, who knew very well how the two associations fought each other, judging from the news obtained later, the revival association still had the idea of supporting the alliance at the earliest, but because of the alliance's own internal disputes, the two associations lost the possibility of cooperation, and in the end, the relationship was still bad. Chen Qimei didn't understand who was responsible for that shooting, it was the Japanese? Or someone else? Anyway, from that time on, he would have completely fallen on the thief ship of the Alliance, if he knew that the Revival would have this strength, and the Alliance would just be a showmanship, he would have immediately thrown himself to the side of the Renaissance, but it was too late. "In the final analysis, the two sessions of the Renaissance League are still a question of who will lead the revolution, there are not many young people who join the revolution, and there are not many people who are willing to donate to the revolution.

Speaking of this, Chen Qimei suddenly thought of a question, and said: "Third brother, is there the support of foreigners behind the revival meeting, who paid for the money when they went to the northeast to fight the Russians?" There is also the money for the Hangzhou uprising later, before the incident, there were thousands of people in the team they pulled up at that time, I really don't know how the money was made? ”

"There was no foreigner support behind the revival meeting, and the Americans got mixed up with them because they wanted a piece of the Northeast pie, but this was later. At that time, Yang Jingcheng went to the northeast to resist Russia, and the training of military talents in the United States as you just said was most likely his own money. ”

"Own money?" Chen Qimei was very unconvinced. "This is not a small amount, this is at least hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"It's really Yang Jingcheng's own money. Remember the MSG made a few years ago? That is Yang Jingcheng and a group of people from Zhenhai, Ningbo, and later, in order to reject Russia, he sold all the shares of the company, and the money obtained was used to do the revolution. According to the people of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, these shares were sold for more than 400,000 taels, and the person who bought those shares is now the famous God of Wealth in Shanghai. That's how he made his fortune, and later Tianzi became bigger and bigger, earned more money, and remembered his previous friendship. Yu Huizu sent money to Yang Jingcheng from time to time. That's when the Revival came to the fore. ”

Chen Qimei is like listening to a book review today, but she only thinks that there are such things, which is really incredible, Chen Qicai saw that he didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "These are all statements on the surface, whether they are true or false, anyway, they gave the emperor an explanation." Even if Tianzihao and the Fuxing Association are still linked, they can't get evidence to seize Tianzihao. The Americans wouldn't agree. Foreign cloth, foreign oil, these American goods are all Tianzihao to help them sell, especially in the northeast, the Japanese and Americans are fighting fiercely, the railway from Kuanchengzi to Andong is passed, those American businessmen all evacuate Niuzhuang and move to Anton, and the relationship with Tianzihao is even closer. ”

The second hall specializes in spying on the intelligence of various countries, the Northeast is the land of Longxing, and it is the most intricate, Chen Qicai is the most concerned and worried, he sighed again, "That Yang Jingcheng can always do something that ordinary people can't think of and can't do, such as this Northeast, now the imperial court straw bales only thought of introducing the United States to control Japan, but Yang Jingcheng hooked up with the Tianzi number before the war between Japan and Russia, and prepared to build a railway in the Northeast, and as soon as the war was over, he worked hard to build the road, and last year he also took the railway to the Russians, and then introduced it to the Americans, As a result, the situation in the northeast has changed from a confrontation between Japan and Russia to a triumph between Japan, Russia and the United States, and now the Qing Dynasty does not buy Japan's face, and has always refused to agree to hand over the right of way of the Anbong Railway to the Japanese, and this is the confidence. Second brother, this person is difficult to deal with. ”

Chen Qicai said a lot of words, just to remind Chen Qimei that the revival will not be taken lightly and ignored, Chen Qimei knew his kindness, and said with a smile: "My husband is not afraid of death, he is afraid that he will not succeed." Even if this Yang turned out to be an immortal, it would knock him to the ground. I'll go back to Tokyo in two days and see how to send someone to ......," Chen Qimei said, suddenly remembering someone.

Seeing that the second brother was in a hurry to return to Tokyo, Chen Qicai said: "Second brother, don't be busy first, this attack is just an idea from Tie Liang of the War Department, in addition to thinking about exterminating the revolutionary party, there is also the purpose of consuming the Beiyang towns trained by Yuan Shikai, if the revival of this war will be defeated, then Linxi and Liaodong can continue to find a way to do it, if the revival will not be defeated......"

Chen Qicai didn't know if he was selling Guanzi, and stopped here when he said it, Chen Qimei hurriedly asked, "What if you lose?" ”

"If you lose, then there are many things. This War Department Shangshu Tieliang can't do it anymore, he has to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and then the people who will come to power again will be the people on the emperor's side, and the power of the post-party will definitely be greatly eliminated, and the military power of the imperial party will be in hand, and the strength will rise sharply, so the governors in various places can be rectified and rectified; As for the Fuxing Society, according to the previous discussion, it is estimated that it will recruit peace. ”

"Zhao'an? How is this possible? Chen Qimei's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what impact the Revival Society would have on the Alliance if it recruited An.

"Although the imperial court now knows the general nest of the Revival Society, but it is completely ignorant of its internal affairs, can the second brother know how the Japanese are dealing with the rebellious party in Taiwan?" Chen Qicai asked.

"How? I'm afraid it's not raised with high-ranking officials, right? Chen Qimei said. He was very dismissive of it.

"It's not. The Japanese had an extremely ruthless condition for recruiting the rebel party in Taiwan, that is, they wanted to be registered, and they agreed to all other conditions for the rebel party. Its biggest chaotic party, the leader of which is called Lin Shaomao, completely promised him a country within a country. However, once he handed over the roster of his team, after the Japanese negotiated back and forth and figured out the details, after a few years Lin Shaomao slackened, he raided in one fell swoop and killed his entire family and backbone. Chen Qicai said that Japan's experience in dealing with rebellious parties in Taiwan is very serious, "This is said to be a recruitment, but in fact it is a truce, and everyone will negotiate when the time comes." Whether it succeeds or not, it will always make the Revival Society relax its guard, and if it is done well, it may be possible to buy a few people from the Revival Society, so to speak. There is no rush in the matter of the revival meeting, the second brother will stay in the capital for a few more days......"

When Chen Qicai said this, if he could only hear a loud "bang" on the door, the two of them were in terror, when they saw four or five strong men rushing in, all of them with guns in their hands, and as soon as they came in and shouted, they pounced. Only hugged the brothers, and then subdued them to the ground, Chen Qicai panicked. Chen Qimei was even more panicked, although he moved quickly, and the gun in his waist was not slow, but because the table was blocked. The gun hasn't been fully taken out yet. The man was completely stopped.

stepped on the gun on the ground with one foot, only to hear a man laugh and say: "Haha, third child, you didn't look away this time, it's really a revolutionary party." Your Excellency is going to be happy this time. ”

The man named Lao San next to him saw that he had been caught at this time, and he also smiled: "This revolutionary party deserves it, I will follow him when I get off the train, with short hair and a dress." Do you really think that Uncle Don't Know You if you get a fake braid? ”

Because of the chaos in the box, Chen Qicai was about to shout and reprimand. I suddenly heard the two pro-soldiers who were protecting me outside shouting, "What people? Let the adults go! Let go, adults! ”

Chen Qicai had dinner in view of the fact that he and his second brother were talking about secret matters, and only sent away the personal soldiers who protected him, he actually thought that the revolutionary party would not be so arrogant in this capital, who would have expected to give his own people, no, it should be the people from the patrol police department who were arrested. The revolutionary party Wu Yue blew up the Qianmen Railway Station, and then assassinated Cixi, which made the patrol police department in the capital more capable, and the patrol police department especially put the two inspection and arrest bureaus and the general bureau of inspection and arrest, specifically aimed at the revolutionary party in the capital, he was happy when he first saw Chen Qimei, and then he was completely pigtailed and long jacket, so he didn't care, but he didn't want people to follow him here from the train station earlier.

There were pro-soldiers outside, Chen Qicai struggled hard, and said, "Hmph, the people from the Military Advisory Office dare to arrest it?" Eaten leopard gall bladder? That's how Zhao Bingjun taught you? ”

Chen Qicai's words made the patrol officer in charge of arresting a little surprised, but the man who took the lead grabbed the short gun from Chen Qimei's body, and couldn't help but feel confident in his heart, and only said: "What Lord Zhao taught us is to vigorously grasp the chaotic party, this lord should show the official card first, so as to save us rough people from offending." ”

Chen Qicai watched him grab his second brother's gun, and knew in his heart that he couldn't bluff these people by bluffing, so he had to shake it twice, and after the man who was restraining him behind him let go of a hand, he reached into his arms, only took out his official card, and then threw it over very unhappily.

The man took the official card, only glanced at Chen Qicai a few times, and then carefully looked at the purple seal of the official department on the official card, and did not feel any objection in his heart, but after looking at Chen Qicai, he said to Chen Qimei again: "This lord also please hand over the official card to the humble post to verify one or two, if there is no mistake, Wu Dahu will kowtow here." ”

Chen Qicai's official card suppressed the suspicion of the patrol leader Wu Dahu for a while, but this suspicion has not been completely dispelled, Chen Qimei is completely a revolutionary party, and now although the patrol police have let him go, his face is still very white, only listening to the patrol police asking him for an official card, he doesn't know how to answer. Seeing this, Chen Qicai hurriedly said: "This official is specifically to arrest the revolutionary party, this person is my informant, and it is better for the inspection and arrest bureau not to meddle in affairs." ”

As if he felt that he had grasped the handle of these two people, Wu Dahu returned confidently: "This adult, then I can't help you." According to the regulations, you can't bring guns in the capital, no matter who this lord is, he has to follow us to the bureau for a trip, and if it is found out that it is indeed a good citizen, it will naturally be released. ”

"Presumptuous! This person is concerned about whether the imperial court can exterminate the revolutionary party, and if you take it, how to explain it to the emperor. Chen Qimei's pistol was searched out by the patrol police, and there was really nothing to be done, Chen Qicai only moved Emperor Guangxu out.

"My lord, if you let this person go, it will be difficult to explain to the emperor. Besides, this person is carrying a murder weapon, if it weren't for our brother rushing in, I'm afraid that the adult would have been killed. "Wu Dahu has a stubborn temperament, the more he looks at Chen Qimei, the more he looks like a revolutionary party, especially when he was outside the door just now, he also heard the words in the room, there is the word 'Fuxinghui', he knows that this revival will is amazing, much more powerful than the people who bombed the Qianmen railway station before, they made trouble in Hangzhou once, and now they are making trouble in Yanzhou, it is rumored that the army of the Fuxing Society in Beijing has more than 100,000 people, which is really scary, and now these two people speak with Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents, and they carry murder weapons, and there is a chance that they will have something to do with the Fuxing Society.

"It's really bold, I don't think you will be on an errand in the capital in the future." Chen Qicai saw that he was so stubborn. Biting his brothers wholeheartedly, he suddenly said cruel words.

But they didn't know that the people of the General Bureau of Arrest really ate the gall of a leopard, and Prince Su Shanqi personally lectured them. said that as long as they arrest suspicious people in Beijing, regardless of the royal family, they will support them behind their backs. The people in the bureau who only said this were very strong, but later the general office passed down the message, saying that they could only arrest people if the evidence was conclusive, and with the pistol in hand, Wu Dahu understood that he had evidence. only arched his hand at Chen Qicai and said, "My lord, I'm offended!" ", and then signaled left and right to take Chen Qimei away.

Chen Qicai was furious. Chen Qimei calmed down at this time and said; "Third brother, don't worry, there is no me as an informant. I am afraid that this revolutionary party will be difficult to exterminate. You'd better go and ask the adults to figure it out. Then they took him away.

Chen Qicai wanted to follow Chen Qimei together, but his last sentence to invite adults reminded him again. In fact, even if he goes to the General Investigation Bureau, I am afraid that it will not have any effect, this place is managed by Prince Su, and the only way to save people is to ask the Minister of Military Affairs Zaitao or Liangbi, Zaitao He does not dare to alarm, and now he can only go to Liangbi Mansion to find someone. Chen Qicai made up his mind to pay attention, and ignored Chen Qimei who was far away. only beckoned the pro-soldier sedan chair man to rush to the Liangbi Mansion.

Unexpectedly, when she came to Beijing, she would be caught by the patrol police in Beijing, and Chen Qimei was very aggrieved. But the matter has come to this, he can only think about how to get out is the main topic, before leaving the mutton restaurant, Chen Qimei thought of a way to get out, it is not possible to fight hard, only to bail out as an informant, is to let Chen Qicai find an adult in the end. Chen Qimei thought very well in his heart, but as soon as he entered the room of the General Bureau of Arrest, there was no movement for several days, which made his heart sink day by day, and only after seven or eight days that his heart had sunk to the bottom, he was taken out of the cell by the prison guards and met his younger brother Chen Qicai, who was full of sorrow. When the shackles on his hands were removed, and when he knew that he was about to be released, he hurriedly asked Chen Qicai what was going on, but Chen Qicai said: "Don't talk, talk on the road." ”

On that day, Chen Qicai went to Liangbi Mansion, but the porter said that Liangbi went to Xiyuan and would come back on the morning of the second day, so Chen Qicai had to go to Liangbi Mansion on the morning of the second day to wait, and waited until it was dark in the afternoon, and Liangbi came back from Xiyuan. Liangbi is a graduate of the second phase of Lu Shi's infantry department, and his people are a little arrogant, but at the same time, they are also very good at encircling talented people, regardless of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, as long as he thinks that this person is talented, he will make friends with him, and there are many Han people in the military advisory office. Of course, he did not say that Chen Qimei was also a revolutionary party, but only that Chen Qimei knew many revolutionary parties when he was studying in Tokyo in his early years, and now he came to Beijing to tell him about the inside story of the Renaissance Association.

The Military Advisory Office is actually built by Liangbi at the instigation of this Zaitao, which is completely a imitation of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, and its second hall is a confidential department of the Military Advisory Office, and now Liangbi heard that someone can go deep into the Revival Association to spy on the news, and immediately promised to let people take their own greetings to Prince Su tomorrow to get this informant out, Chen Qicai heard that he said this, and his heart immediately relaxed, who expected that when he came to Hongluo Factory again the next morning, the porter said that the adults went out early in the morning, Then, at noon, he heard the extremely shocking news that the sixth and twelfth towns of Yanzhou had been completely annihilated by the revolutionary party two days earlier.

"Did the Revival Society really annihilate the two new military towns in one go?" In the carriage, Chen Qimei, who was smelly and tired, heard the news from her younger brother, and became a little excited.

"Indeed!" Chen Qicai nodded and said, "The Fuxing Society, like the previous uprising in Hangzhou, once again destroyed the telegraph line in Zhejiang, and also sent people to snipe the messengers sent by Hangzhou, so the news reached the capital so late." Now that their troops have approached Hangzhou, this time I am afraid that Hangzhou will fall again. Ay! The two new military towns, as well as seven or eight thousand patrol troops, were all annihilated in one day, and now the court is in chaos, and the emperor has investigated Tieliang's dismissal under his anger, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang have all been dismissed. Now Zaitao is in charge of the War Department, and in order to ensure that Hangzhou is not lost, he has urgently sent people to transfer the Fifth Town in Shandong to the south, and he has also urgently urged the Ninth Town in the north of Yanzhou and the Jiangxi New Army in the south to rapidly reinforce Hangzhou. This time, this is how the Revival Society won. ”

Chen Qicai has been suppressed enough in the past few days, and he vomited so much news at once, and it took a while for Chen Qimei to digest these things, and then said: "Can't everyone see that this is the Fuxing Society's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, in this way, only the Hubei New Army responsible for the western attack is still there, isn't this encirclement and suppression a self-defeating?" ”

"That's true." Chen Qicai sighed: "The sixth and twelfth towns were all wiped out, which is already a national sensation, and now those blue vote parties in the Congress only say that the War Department is a bunch of straw bales, and those trained new troops are even more fancy, empty and silver, and the Huai army in the past is as unbearable as the Huai army in the past." If the imperial court loses Hangzhou again, then the current cabinet will collapse. ”

Chen Qimei also often heard the saying that China's constitution and parliament were completely copied from Japan, and Japan often toppled the cabinet, and he was not surprised by this, and said: "Isn't it now that the cabinet and the parliament have no right to intervene in the military, and it is good to overthrow the cabinet, and even if the cabinet is overthrown, it will be fine." ”

He only shook his head loudly when he said this: "The current cabinet is just a transition, and Guangxu actually wants to regain control of the situation and take back the rights that were released earlier." But there are very few people who can be used when he just comes out, and the power of the governors in various places is extremely strong, so he can only let Prince Li Shiduo be the prime minister of the cabinet, and when the power of the next imperial party rises sharply, he will be promoted to the position of prime minister of the cabinet. This is an internal affair, let's talk about foreign affairs. I finally trained more than a dozen town new troops, and frequently held autumn exercises, for what? Isn't it just to let the foreigners know that the Qing Dynasty is not what it used to be, isn't it as easy to bully as before, but now the two new military towns are wiped out in one day, if Hangzhou is lost again, then what do you think the foreigners will think? Hey, this Qing Dynasty, it's almost over! ”

Chen Qicai only sighed after the Qing Dynasty, and then pressed his heart and asked, "Second brother, can you arrange for someone to go in from the Revival Society?" ”

Suddenly, hearing her younger brother ask, Chen Qimei said: "There is already a person in the revival meeting, although it was not arranged by me, but as long as you can get in touch, it can still play some role." What's the matter, Liangbi asked if you want information? ”

"Liangbi didn't ask me for information, he wanted to see you." Chen Qicai said.

"Want to see me?" Chen Qimei was surprised, "Why did he want to see me?" ”

"Now that Yanzhou has been defeated, and the Revival Association has become even more secretive since many of its members quit the party the year before last, although some revolutionary parties have been caught in various places, they are all peripheral members, or they are just young students who love to be in the limelight. In order to destroy the Renaissance Society, it is necessary to infiltrate the Renaissance Society. This is something that the Military Advisory Office can't do, only you may be able to do it. Chen Qicai said Liangbi's intentions, and then looked at Chen Qimei very worriedly: "Second brother, you have to think clearly, this is not a matter between you and my brothers, once you talk to Liangbi, it is not a matter of going and stopping." If this thing is difficult to do, then we will ......" Speaking of this, Chen Qicai took out two train tickets from his arms, "No, we can go to the train station now, and there will be a train to Tianjin in half an hour, and after arriving in Tianjin, we can go overseas, and the eldest brother in the family also sent a telegram to the past, and then the three of us brothers can go to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and the United States." ”

Seeing her younger brother's true feelings, Chen Qimei only held his hand and said: "My husband is not afraid of death, I am afraid that nothing will happen!" Revolutionary revolution must not be halved! If you want to see Liangbi, you can borrow Liangbi's hand at that time to let the revival go up in smoke. When the Manchu and Revival Societies come to an end, it will be the day when the League will emerge, and Mr. Chungsan will surely be able to lead us to establish a republic that has only been established since ancient times. When I think of this, it's too late to get excited, how can there be any reason to retreat?! ”

Chen Qicai saw that his words were agitated, and knew that he had made up his mind, so after nodding, he turned on the carriage and said to the coachman, "Turn around and go to Hongluo Factory." (To be continued......)
