Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

There was no danger of eating the small force in front of the Qing army, Zhou Zhaoxian was about to order the whole battalion to storm the enemy position, the sound of artillery sounded out inopportunely, this is not the kind of cannon just now, judging from the mud blown up, it should be 75mm caliber shells, and then look at these shells mainly fell on the front side of the Qing army's position, not near his own trench, Zhou Zhaoxian roughly guessed that this should be the mountain artillery battalion of the tenth town firing artillery. This was expected a long time ago, but what made him wonder was why the artillery fire on the other side came so quickly, and it hit so accurately, just to protect the forward position of the Qing army?

"Disarmed combat duty." There was a mountain artillery battalion, and Zhou Zhaoxian's plan fell through, but he still said: "Let the people in front check again, see how this Qing army contacted the other side of the river, find out, and destroy him!" ā€

The cannon roared on the bank of the river, but Cai Yuanpei in the Hangzhou General's Mansion was not alarmed, he pressed Sun Wen's two telegrams from last night and this morning with one hand, and the other hand hung in the air, and was about to write a call, but he really wrote it -- Sun Wen's two telegrams were all good news, and in the middle of the night last night, in fact, around 9 to 11 o'clock local time in Los Angeles, Sun Wen met Allen who was traveling from New York to Los Angeles, and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation. Sun Wen said in the telegram that Allen was very sympathetic to the Chinese revolution, and he and the big men behind him wanted to do their part for the Chinese revolution, so Allen was ready to lend 10 million US dollars to the revolutionary party, and at the same time he would persuade the president of the United States and many parliamentarians of the United States, and prompted the United States to send ten warships to China, and considering the difficulties in the supply of guns and ammunition for the revolutionary army. Therefore, 100,000 rifles, 1,000 artillery pieces, and corresponding ammunition were specially allocated from the arsenal of the 6th Army of the United States, and these munitions will arrive in Hangzhou with the United States fleet.

Sun Wen's enthusiastic telegram shocked Cai Yuanpei, who was sad because of the situation. He walked around the room three times before suppressing this joy, money is not what Fuxing will want, arms and diplomatic support are the most urgent things for the military government now, especially now that Hangzhou is in danger, even if the ninth town is lowered, it cannot change the situation of Hangzhou with enemies on all sides.

After Cai Yuanpei was excited, he read the following of the telegram. Sun Wen said that in addition to asking for appropriate returns, Allen also has two things that need to be dealt with most urgently: one is the merger of the two associations.

Although compelled by the form, Sun Wen lied that the Revival Society and the League Society were one organization. But Allen only wanted to negotiate with a revolutionary organization, and for that, the merger of the Revival and the League was imperative. Considering that the word "League" has the meaning of uniting all revolutionaries, it is better for Sun Wenjian to call the organization after the merger. At the same time, the word "Alliance" is also the key to Sun Wen's introduction to Allen that the Revival Society and the Alliance Society are the same organization. Therefore, in order not to backtrack in front of Allen and avoid unnecessary explanations, Sun Wen believes that the name of the new organization after the merger is still the most appropriate to call the Alliance.

If the two sessions are merged, the name is one, the brain is two, and the organization is three. After the name was decided, it was the candidate for the prime minister, and considering the righteous deeds of the Fuxing Society, Sun Wen believed that it was appropriate for Cai Yuanpei to be the prime minister of the New Alliance. and he is the Deputy Prime Minister; As for the internal organization of the new alliance, Sun Wenjian still refers to the structure of the separation of powers of the old alliance. The Executive Department, the Appraisal Department, and the Ministry of Justice were set up, and each ministry checked and balanced each other, with Cai Yuanpei as the prime minister of the Executive Department, and the heads of the Appraisal Department and the Ministry of Justice discussing the public announcement separately.

In addition to the merger of the two sessions, another thing is Hangzhou City. From a practical point of view, it will take at least about 20 days for the US fleet to travel from the United States to Hangzhou, and if Hangzhou is lost within these 20 days, then even if the US arms arrive in Hangzhou, they will not be able to meet the revolutionary army.

The merger of the two associations and the holding of Hangzhou are the necessary prerequisites for gaining the support of the people of the United States, and this is what Sun Wen's two telegrams mean. In view of the seven-member committee system of the Renaissance Society, Cai Yuanpei may not be able to decide the fate of the Renaissance Society alone, and Sun Wen seems to have anticipated this situation, so the second telegram he added was built by Cai Yuanpei in a hurry, first announcing the merger of the two associations, and then building the organization of the new alliance, otherwise the merger of the two associations could not be realized in a short time; At the same time, considering that it is not easy to hold Hangzhou, Sun Wenjian yƬ Cai Yuanpei and the people of the military government should withdraw from Hangzhou first, so as to prevent the revolutionary brain from going to danger, it can be said that Sun Wen basically took into account all the factors that can be considered, and the most important thing is that he willingly let Cai Yuanpei, that is, the person from the Fuxing Society, become the prime minister of the New Alliance. Such a move can't help but remind Cai Yuanpei of the Japanese Miyazaki monstrous evaluation of Sun Wen, the author of "The Great Revolutionary Sun Yat-sen": "The mind is clean, the heart is bright, and now there is no one else in the East and the West." ā€

Should the matter be rushed or should it be reported to the committee to discuss the merger? Can Zhao Sheng say that Xu Shaozhen will be lowered, if not, then how can Hangzhou defend it? Cai Yuanpei couldn't put down the pen for a long time, and it took him a long time before he asked Shao Lizi to go to Zhong Mei to ask about the battle situation, but Shao Lizi went out and said that Zhong Mei had gone out.

Zhong Mei actually didn't go out, but was taken away by Xie Jintai, Xie Jintai was in charge of foreign affairs, and he was considered the minister of foreign affairs, and under the premise that the great powers did not support the revolution, he, the foreign minister, could only accompany foreign reporters. However, there are a lot of banners in Hangzhou City that "President Cai and Hangzhou City live and die together" and articles in Hangzhou newspapers that have been greatly adhered to to the end, which makes him very puzzled, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he knows the plan of the military government, but now the propaganda and the overall plan do not cooperate with each other, and after careful questioning, I know that it was the people of the League who did it, and that is the person of the League that is Sun Dacang's person, and he talked to Zhong Mei for this purpose, Zhong Mei thought that he was going to talk about foreign affairs, but Xie Zhangtai did not mention foreign affairs. Instead, he asked directly: "Did President Cheng have an accident?" ā€

In the internal propaganda of the Renaissance Society, in order not to shake morale, it was only said that Yang Rui went to Europe to seek support from the great powers, and it was not said at all that he was injured and missing, and Xie Jintai talked with Yang Rui several times in detail, and knew very well that if Yang Rui had not had an accident. I will definitely come to Hangzhou, but now, I haven't seen anyone for almost a month. Something must have happened.

"Nothing. Sir is in Europe now," Zhong Mei's eyes jumped, but he replied quietly.

However, Xie Jintai has been revolutionary for many years and has a lot of experience, and he immediately saw that Zhong Mei was lying, so he said: "I know the discipline in the meeting, but if it really happens, something will happen." But he thought it was the Qing officials who were harmed, so ......" Xie Zhangtai said that he didn't say any more, and he smiled bitterly. And then it's like turning around and going out the door.

Zhong Mei heard what he said, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to stop him, and said, "Mr. Chong'an...... ...... you, let's go inside and talk. "Yang Rui's matter has always been a thorn in Zhong Mei's heart. Every time I think about it, it hurts. Now he saw that Xie Jintai seemed to know something, and he couldn't help but pull him back.

Xie Jintai saw that Zhong Mei wanted him to go inside to talk, and his face suddenly turned pale, what he expected was actually true, and he only waited for him to say two good things in a row, and then he settled down and followed Zhong Mei into the inner study.

"Mr. Chong'an, something happened to Mr., but now...... Right now....... He was only injured and disappeared when he was arrested by the Ministry of Industry Bureau and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Zhong Mei didn't know how to explain this. He can only be described in terms of disappearance. "Mr. Chong'an said that Mr. was not killed by the Qing officials, so who could it be?"

Hearing that it was just missing, Xie Jintai's sad face finally had a hint of joy, and when he saw Zhong Mei asking, he said, "It's the Alliance!" Or maybe it's Sun Wen! ā€

Xie Zhangtai's answer made Zhong Mei's heart startled, but at the same time, he was surprised and felt that Xie Zhangtai was too arbitrary to say this, so he had to say: "Mr. Chong'an, you haven't even heard about what happened, when Mr. is in Shanghai......"

"It's the Alliance! It was Sun Wen who did it! Xie Jintai didn't wait for Zhong Mei to finish speaking, he interrupted him, he seemed to think that Sun Wen was not a good person.

Seeing Xie Zhangtai's unfounded words, Zhong Mei asked rhetorically: "Mr. Chong'an, what is the basis?" ā€

"Don't be based! It's what Sun Wen did! Xie Zhangtai said again.

"But... But there's no evidence for that. If it weren't for Xie Jintai's excellent impression on Zhong Mei, Zhong Mei would have wondered if he had lost his mind and gone crazy.

"No evidence needed!" Xie Jintai shook his head stubbornly, "The evidence is just a trick to deceive fools, obviously killed someone, but destroyed the evidence, and in the end it cannot be convicted, this is just to make the government not abuse its power." However, when it comes to a specific matter or person, the evidence is not reliable, let alone advisable, and the evidence is not used to convict, but to fool people. ā€

Xie Zhangtai said a little excited, he has been studying the West since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the Western legal system, and the logic is actually a stupid man's method in his opinion. This is actually like a war, the sixth sense is the first, you have no way to prove why the enemy did this, because you have no evidence, if you really wait for the evidence, then the matter is irreparable, the stupidest person should be to be a lawyer, this is Xie Jintai's cognition.

Xie Jintai also seemed to feel that his tone was a little heavy, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "For example, intuition, many things can't be said. I'll just make up what I can say to you. ā€

Zhong Mei was actually infected by his words, he is a soldier, although the soldier is rational, but the chief of staff Leo has always emphasized talent, in fact, this talent is a kind of innate intuition, in the position of company platoon commander, there is not much difference between talent and no talent, it is good to implement it according to the drill code, but at the level of brigade division, then the difference brought by talent to everyone is very big. He thinks that's what Xie said.

"In fact, I have always felt that President Cheng Cheng is very similar to Mr. Yang Quyun, the first president of the Xingzhong Association. They all came from Western backgrounds, and they all felt that the Manchu Qing Dynasty must be overthrown, and the revolution was also down-to-earth, never bragging about artillery, and not opportunistic. They are skilled, they are right, they are heroes, but they are by no means heroes, but the revolution actually needs heroes more than heroes, but even if you know this, people like them can still make you trust with your life. In the closed study, Xie Jintai spoke deeply, staring at a place where Zhong Mei could not see, as if he was telling and reminiscing.

After Zhaochun's death, everyone said that he was killed by Chen Lin, an assassin hired by the Qing officials, but in fact, this Chen Lin was not an assassin hired by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but was pointed out by Sun Wen. The battle over who will lead the revolution is exactly the same as it is now. At the beginning, Sun Wen was in Honolulu Grass Chuangxing Middle School, but when it merged with Furen Cultural Society. He strongly demanded that the group after the merger be called Xingzhonghui, saying that the word "Xingzhong" was the best, which meant prosperous China, and everyone agreed later, but at that time, because his power was very small, he could only be subordinated to the vice in the meeting, but in the following years. Sun Wen gained the support of the Japanese, his power soared, and he founded a Xinghan Society. Later, on the grounds of gaining the support of outsiders, he said that the two revolutionary organizations could not exist, and that the two associations could be merged, and signaled Zhaochun to resign and make way for Xian. Zhaochun is a revolutionary plan. I had to agree.

After Zhaochun's resignation, he devoted himself to teaching in Hong Kong, not wanting the Huizhou Uprising planned by the Japanese in Gengzi Nian to be interfered by Britain and the United States, and finally failed completely, and Sun Wenwolf fled to Japan; At that time, Gengzi was in civil strife, and Liangguang had the idea of independence, and wanted to recruit the revolutionary party for his own use, so he contacted Sun Wen and Sun Wen did not dare to go for fear of death. Later, he sent someone to contact Zhaochun. At this time, the Huizhou uprising failed, and the strength of the party was greatly reduced, and Zhaochun wanted to promote the independence of the two Guangzhou. Fake tricks to bring down the real revolution, but in order to keep the position of president, Sun Wen was afraid that Zhaochun would take advantage of this to take the position, and finally failed to stop it, so he sent a killer to assassinate Zhaochun in his apartment.

Sun Wen has always preached that Zhaochun was killed by the Qing court, but at that time, Zhaochun was having a good conversation with the Guangzhou government, so why kill Zhaochun? Moreover, the assassin Chen Lin was finally arrested and executed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the evidence is that the revolutionary party documents were found, and he was the backbone of the revolutionary party. There is also Sun Wenzhi's confidant Jiang Gongcong, who first persuaded the assassin Chen Lin not to kill Zhaochun, Chen Bucong and persuaded Zhaochun to take refuge temporarily, Zhaochun did not take refuge from himself, and until today he has avoided Sun Wen and no longer follows. If it was really the Manchu Qing who bribed the assassin Chen Lin to kill Zhaochun, how did Jiang Gong know about this? And he was born in the green forest, and when he saw that the Qing court assassins did not hunt and kill, but persuaded him verbally, is this a revolutionary party? ā€

Xie Jintai was already very angry when he said this, but after he was excited, he sighed again: "Earlier, the Revival Society was able to grow in power because of its support for the constitution, which was exactly the same as the original Zhaochun pseudo-recruitment of the True Revolution, and there were many conflicts with the Alliance during the period. ā€

Xie Jintai's story was finally finished, and Zhong Mei once again heard him say that Mr. was plotted by Sun Wen, although it felt not as far-fetched as before, but he still had questions: "But since Mr. is plotted, why did the alliance come to Hangzhou to help us defend the city?" ā€

"The Revival Society is strong, what can the Alliance accomplish if it does not get together with the Revival Society? What else will Sun Wen do besides amplifying the cannon? Xie Jintai was very resentful of Sun Wen and the others, and after sneering, he said: "The alliance will come to Hangzhou to help, after all, it is here to stain the light, and then Sun Wen can claim that the alliance will also participate in the Hangzhou uprising, and even say that the Hangzhou uprising is his credit." And now that President Cheng has disappeared, only Mr. Cai will support him, and once Sun Wen convinces Mr. Cai to agree to merge the two associations, then this is the old wisdom of the merger of the Furen Cultural Society and the Xingzhong Society. And," Speaking of this, Xie Jintai lowered his voice in a flicker, and then said: "If the two associations are merged, the revival will be great because of the momentum, Mr. Cai will be the master, and Sun Wen will be second, but what if Mr. Cai has an accident?" ā€

"Accident?" Zhong Mei seemed to think of something and asked, "Is Mr. Chong'an talking about guarding Hangzhou?" ā€

"Exactly!" Xie Jintai nodded and said: "Now in the city of Hangzhou, the newspapers of Hangzhou Daily say that 'Mr. Cai and Hangzhou live and die together', although it has the intention of boosting morale, don't you think this is too much?" In case Mr. Cai can't see it for a while, and he has to live and die with Hangzhou, it will not only be Mr. Cai's trouble, but the entire revival army will also suffer heavy losses, and if the two sessions are merged before and Mr. Cai is gone, Sun Wen will naturally become the leader of the revival association. Even if Mr. Cai is still there after the war, but after the loss of Hangzhou, his prestige is also damaged, when Sun Wen pretends to make trouble with the backbone of the meeting, and wants Mr. Cai to resign to make way for Xian, do you think, with Mr. Cai's temperament, will he not resign? ā€

What Xie Jintai said was a vicious and vicious conspiracy, although the League was not Zhong Mei's liking, but to think about a revolutionary leader who was widely praised by everyone, Zhong Mei only felt that he couldn't accept it, but then he wanted to defend Hangzhou and the matter was really made by the people of the League. Finally, he said, "If the Revival Society and the Alliance have not merged, then this conspiracy cannot be realized?" ā€

Seeing that Zhong Mei finally believed his words, Xie Jintai smiled bitterly: "You can't ask me about this." You go and ask Mr. Cai. Bu Jin, after the end of the First World War in Hangzhou, I will go to Shanghai. ā€

"To Shanghai?"

"Yes. I'm going to find out what happened, and the revival will not work without him! When Xie Jintai said this, he had already stood up, and he believed that as long as he didn't see the corpse, then Yang Rui must still be alive.

The morning conversation ended quickly. Zhong Mei, who learned of the conspiracy, felt very depressed for a long time, he only knew that there was a conflict between the Alliance and the Revival Society when they were in Tokyo, and then the Revival Society was often criticized by the League because of the pseudo-constitutionalism; As for Sun Wen. When I was in Shanghai before, I heard that this person had been anti-Qing for more than ten or twenty years, and I felt that it was very difficult and very admirable, but I really made a revolution myself. We know that the revolution is the point of no return. If you go up, you can only go all the way to the dark, which has nothing to do with whether you are firm or not.

When Zhong Mei was standing on the city tower thinking about this, Zhang Chengyue came over, and he said, "There is no news from the Ninth Town!" ā€

"Well, I sent someone to ask, but there is no news yet!" Zhong Mei's brows furrowed even more when he thought of this bad thing. "I also sent a group of people to follow, why is there no news?"

"It is very likely that they were all detained or killed by the Qing army." Zhang Chengyue said that he thinks about the worst when he thinks about problems.

"Wait. Now there are one or two thousand Qing soldiers around the Qianjiang River. If you want to withdraw, you must first beat them out. We are a troop of recruits, retreating if they are being chased. That would inevitably lead to chaos in the whole army. Zhong Mei said helplessly. When fighting together, it's like a person playing a chess game, and it's not up to you to decide how to go. After he finished speaking, he said to the adjutant beside him: "Go, sue the guard company, and send a few more people to the north to find someone." ā€

The Qing army pressed the border on a large scale, and the Governor's Mansion had no soldiers to send, even the guard company was also transferred half of the people to the front line by Zhong Mei, and the city was supported by armor guards, but the revolutionary army was strictly disciplined, and there was no crime with the Minqiu, and the ruffians and hooligans in Hangzhou were incorporated into the army at the beginning, so now Hangzhou is still stable as usual, only those rich people are looking for an excuse to leave the city early.

Zhong Mei sent people out of the city to find someone, but Zhao Guang, who went to the ninth town with Zhao Sheng, was in the military camp of the League stationed in the north of the city, and Hu Hanmin was asking him about the surrender last night.

"So, it wasn't Xu Shaozhen who detained you, it was Yu Dahong who arrested you?" After Zhao Guang finished speaking, Hu Hanmin asked aimlessly, in fact, he was wandering. Zhao Shengneng said that he never believed in the ninth town, the cunning side was not so easy to deal with, and the result was exactly as he expected, but in this case, how could he keep the revival meeting in Hangzhou? In the middle of last night, Zhongshan's telegram said that it was difficult to negotiate with the people of the United States, and instructed him to be sure to stabilize the Fuxing Association and defend Hangzhou, otherwise the negotiations would be wasted.

Zhao Guang, who fled back, didn't know what Hu Hanmin was thinking, and when he saw Hu Hanmin asking, he just said: "When Brother Bo and I were in the Ninth Town before, we had a grudge against this Yu Dahong, and once he took over the position of Brother Bo Xian's management, but Brother Bo Xian instigated soldiers to seriously injure him, and everyone made a feud like this. This time Xu Dashuai let me wait out of the camp, who would have expected that Yu Dahong would have been ambushed on the way early and arrested all of us, if I hadn't run away because of Xiao Jie, I guess I wouldn't have been able to escape. ā€

After Zhao Guang finished speaking, Wang Kaicheng, the deputy company commander next to him, said hurriedly: "What about Brother Boxian?" Isn't it already unexpected? ā€

Zhao Guang didn't answer, but Hu Hanmin said, "No." If you want to kill someone, why arrest someone, I think this Yu Dahong wants to arrest Bo Xian and others and force him to confess, so that he can sue Xu Shaozhen from Duanfang. Boxian's life was safe for a while. After Hu Hanmin meditated just now, he already had a plan in his heart, "Boxian's matter is urgent, but now Hangzhou's city defense is even more urgent, and now we can't let the Fuxing Society abandon Hangzhou and not defend it, we have to stop them." ā€

Hu Hanmin raised the topic to the overall situation at once, so that Wang Kaicheng, who wanted to rescue Zhao Sheng, suddenly turned his thinking to the war, and he said: "Now it is impossible to say that it will not be surrendered, these thousands of people cannot prevent the Qing army......

"Kai Cheng's words are wrong." Wang Ruqi, a native of Huzhou, interrupted his words on the side, "Before the Qing army arrived, we withdrew first, and it was rumored to be generous, people like the Revival Association were originally surrenderers, and it was just a coincidence that this uprising could be successful." Now we must drag them to fight to the death with the Manchus in Hangzhou City! ā€

"That's right! That's it. Hu Hanmin glanced at Wang Ruqi appreciatively, only felt that this person from Chen Qimei's faction was very smart, and he looked at Wang Kaicheng and Zhao Guang, Wang Kaicheng was originally from Hangzhou, and he joined the League in Tokyo Zhenwu School, and was the deputy company commander of the League Company, and Zhao Guang was Zhao Sheng's cousin, "Whether it is from the perspective of revolutionary righteousness or from the safety of Boxian, Hangzhou must be defended." As long as Hangzhou is held, there is hope for the revolution! ā€

Hu Hanmin said this, glanced at Wang Ruqi but stopped talking, Wang Ruqi had already been advised by Chen Qimei before coming to Hangzhou, so he continued: "So at this time, it can't be said that it can't be said, it can only be said that Xu Shaozhen has nodded and agreed, but there are many Manchu diehards in the army, and they can only be transferred after the war, and only after the bloody battle can the army be frustrated can they revolt......"

Looking at Wang Ruqi's two thin mouths, flipping through such an idea, Wang Kaicheng and Zhao Guang were dumbfounded, and Zhao Guang said: "This is ...... Then, won't Brother Nabo be saved? ā€

"Save! Of course you have to save! Only if Xu Shaozhen's siege is frustrated, Yu Dahong will feel that he can bring him down, if Xu Shaozhen Shunshun lƬ Li occupies Hangzhou City, even if Yu Dahong sues him for rebellion, do you say that the end side will be investigated? Only when Xu Shaozhen attacked the city unfavorably, and then Yu Dahong secretly reported that he had rebelled, Xu Shaozhen would step down. In this way, Yu Dahong will leave Bo Xian and others as witnesses, and even, in order to win the trust of Duan Fang, Bo Xian will definitely be sent by him to the upper end of Shanghai, so that it will not be difficult to save people all the way. "Wang Ruqi is worthy of being a literati, and Zhao Guang was stunned." Therefore, for the sake of today's plan, after you enter the city, you must tell everyone that the surrender has been completed, and Boxian stayed in the ninth town in order to urge Xu Shaozhen, and at the same time the soldiers and officers in the movement army, but he was afraid that Hangzhou would be worried, so he sent you back to report the news first. ā€

Wang Ruqi said this, and the folding fan he was holding was closed again, and then he looked at Hu Hanmin and the others, and asked, "Have the people of this revival society seen Bo Xian's handwriting?" ā€

Hu Hanmin understood what he meant, and after thinking about it, he said: "No one has seen it, Bo Xian has always been in the army, and there is no handwriting at all." ā€

"That's good!" Wang Ruqi's folding fan opened again, and the word 'benevolence' on it was particularly conspicuous, he fanned it twice and said: "I'll fix two letters." Later, it will be brought into the city to present Cai Yuanpei. Fortunately, there are a lot of literati here in the Alliance, and after a while, the two letters were written, and they were handed over to Zhao Guang after a slight drying.

At this time, Zhao Guang and Wang Kaicheng, under the persuasion of Hu Hanmin, both understood that the falsification of the news that the surrender had been completed was to save the lives of Bo Xian and others, and it was also a measure of last resort for the great cause of the revolution, and they no longer contradicted this. After Zhao Guang received the letter, Hu Hanmin hurriedly left the camp and entered the city to report the news, while Wang Kaicheng reorganized his army to prepare to save people when Yu Dahong escorted Zhao Sheng to Shanghai.
