I knew at ten o'clock the next day whether Guangxu died or not, and everyone who received the telegram had a bad face, Zhang Taiyan sighed, and said to himself that he didn't know what to say, while Cai Yuanpei squinted at Yang Rui - he had already understood who killed this Cixi and why he could kill it, so he had a bit of a-for-tat with Yang Rui last night.

Yang Rui understands that this time he has been cheated by a woman again, but no matter how much he is pitted, he has to wade through, and he still hopes that the Fuxing Society can implement the autonomy strategy according to the previous policy - wear constitutional clothes, waving the banner of autonomy, and then go to the local area to dig up the foundation of the people and gentry.

The four of them circled around the attic, and when they saw the faces of the three of them, Yang Rui smiled and said: "The most painful thing now is Yuan Shikai, who was still full of ambition to change the official system, but now he can't keep his head." Did the intelligence side say anything about him? Did the Beiyang Army react in any way? ”

"There is no movement in Tianjin, and the yamen is still open; Baoding said that the three towns of Beiyang had been purged of soldiers, and they were not allowed to leave the camp at will, and the barracks could not enter and exit at will. The capital was the most chaotic, and the thieves were all on the streets, searching for assassins everywhere, and many people were arrested, but basically they were all arresting men, especially those with calluses on their index fingers. "Wang Jitong can't say bluntly that Cheng Ying has escaped, so he can only be tactful." The sixth town and the fourth town, because they are both in the suburbs, can't find out what the situation is, and I really don't understand what cards Yuan Shikai will play. ”

"It depends on what cards Manqing plays." Zhang Taiyan said, not sleeping in the middle of the night. His eyes were bloodshot, but his thinking was still clear, "If Guangxu immediately orders to be killed." Then Yuan Shikai is very likely to be the opposite. But now that Cixi is about to die, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, this funeral is probably the top priority. The twenty-seventh day of the great funeral, in these twenty-seven days, the Qing court is afraid that it will not do anything to Yuan Shikai. ”

Yang Rui couldn't think of such a rule, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then we can take a step forward and then discuss whether to act righteous or not." The more we get to the back, the clearer the situation becomes, and it is still too late for us to decide to raise righteousness when we get to the Han Dynasty. ”

"But things have to be prepared first." Cai Yuanpei said. "How many guns are there in Jiangsu and Zhejiang now?"

In fact, this question can only be asked to Wang Xiaoxu, who knows the strength of this side best, "excluding Shanghai." There are a thousand rods, which were shipped in last year, but there is not enough ammunition. ”

"Why so little?" Cai Yuanpei said, in fact, Yang Rui also felt that the number was too small.

"Not a lot. There were only 43,000 rifles on the South African side. Because there are Russian guns on the northeast side. Therefore, they have been hoarded at the military academy since they were bought, and later due to the uncertainty of the establishment of the army in South Africa, they were not shipped to Shanghai, and only in the middle of last year to integrate the party, they smuggled 1,000 rifles one after another. "Rifles are never enough relative to the number of troops, and now the plan for the large-scale development of the insurance team in the northeast is hindered by guns, and they are waiting for their own military factories to start.

"Can you bring some more?" Zhang Taiyan also felt that it was less. "When the time comes, you will have to do the least of righteousness...... Get more guns. ”

"Uncle Mei, this is still difficult. Last month, the British searched the warehouse where we used to store our guns, and there was a lot of smuggled opium in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the smuggling team could often reap the benefits, so as long as there was a ship, they liked to search for it, and it took a lot of effort to get in with the 1,000 guns. "Shanghai is not as good as Anton, many things are too difficult to do.

"Xiao Xu, let's find a way to bring in two thousand rifles. In addition, since there is not enough ammunition, we must also transport some of it, and in case of real chaos in the world, we should be prepared. Although he didn't want to deviate the revolution from the predetermined track, he still had to be prepared, Yang Rui said to Wang Ji.

"I'm worried, it's done." Since the warehouse in the US concession was investigated, Wang Jitong has felt that something seems to be wrong recently, but he can't say why.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Rui frowned when he saw him, and seemed to feel that something was wrong.

"I don't know, I don't know." Wang Jitong shook his head, and said that he didn't know about the two, with a solemn face.

Compared with the solemnity of the Revival Society, the Royalists and the League are indifferent on the outside, but they are happy in their bones, and the other is happy on the outside, but they are a little uneasy in their bones.

Kang Youwei was inspecting the local investment environment and lolia su zhì in Mexico at the time, laying a solid foundation for the royalist company to settle down here and add a beautiful beauty to his harem, but when he heard the news of Cixi's death, he immediately knelt and bowed, shouting God bless. However, after the joy, Kang Youwei, who calmed down, was the leader of the party after all, and immediately ordered all the members of the royalist party to fast, keep filial piety for the Empress Dowager Cixi, and even ordered Liang Qichao to step up contact with Wang Zhao and Prince Su in Beijing, in order to meet Emperor Guangxu as much as possible. He has been holding the Guangxu Imperial Belt to swagger and deceive him overseas for so many years, and he has a high reputation of 'my Great Qing Dynasty'.

There is a master who naturally has an apprentice, Kang Youwei's filial piety building yì was very agreed by Liang Qichao, "I Daqing" rules the world with filial piety, no matter how vicious this Cixi is, but as a mother, filial piety is completely deserved. While guarding filial piety, Liang Qichao also went to the Yuezhou Pavilion to visit Sun Wen and other members of the League to express his gratitude to the Alliance, but as soon as the members of the League saw Liang Qichao and others in white, they beat him out with a stick.

As soon as Liang Qichao left, everyone in the alliance also gathered in the apartment for a meeting.

"What do you think of what Yunsun said in the telegram?" Sun Wen asked. Cheng Jiaqi returned to China at the beginning of the year to serve as a professor of agriculture at Beijing Normal University, and some time ago he didn't know that he had a relationship with Prince Su Shanqi and became his family professor.

"Yunsun's plan should be a big plan, but is Guangxi ready to do something? If not, we can't take advantage of it. Hu Hanmin said.

"There is no need to prepare in Hunan, Keqiang is not in contact with Guilin, and he will not know the situation until he calls. I'm worried that if I do this, the whole country will be in chaos. Song Jiaoren shook his head.

"Yes. Sichuan was also not prepared. "Dong Xiu Wudao.

"Why can't we just say that our alliance will do it?" Ma Junwu didn't care so much, he just felt that this was a good opportunity to make a name for himself. "Then our prestige will surely overshadow that of the Revivah."

"Sir, I don't mean prestige. It is a revolutionary cause. Wang Zhaoming didn't understand what Sun Wen thought, "If there is no way to find the two of them, then I am willing to go to Tianjin to persuade Yuan Shikai to oppose the Qing Dynasty, if he does not agree, then I will go out to the capital and surrender to force Yuan Shikai to rebel." ”

"No, Zhaoming, you haven't shot again. There are no calluses on your hands, and no one will believe you when you go to turn yourself in. Hu Hanmin said, although he admired Wang Zhaoming's courage. But he completely disagrees with such brute force.

"But where are they? If you can't find anyone, then the ploy is not in vain. "Intrigue and intrigue have always been very much in line with the appetite of the last Yongjie, and he can't wait to drink three bowls with Cheng Jiaqi at this time.

"Let's send the message. They left an address, but they couldn't find anyone. Feng Liberty said. Fang Junying and Cheng Ying left him an address when they left.

There was some opposition to this plan. But some people think that this plan is feasible, in fact, Sun Wenmeng was very happy when he saw the content of the telegram, and only felt that Cheng Jiata's plan spoke to his heart - now that Cixi is dead, Yuan Shikai's life is in danger, if Fang Junying and that Cheng Rui (Cheng Ying's pseudonym used to join the association) go to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to surrender, saying that he was instructed by Yuan Shikai to assassinate Cixi and Guangxu, but because he remembered that Guangxu was diligent and loved the people, he did not shoot. only killed Cixi; At the same time, he lobbied Yuan Shikai again, so in this way. Then Yuan Shikai had to rebel, if he rebelled, then the Manchu Qing would step down, and he would be the first hero to overthrow the Manchu Qing......

Sun Wen thought for a long time, and only waited for Feng Liberty beside him to gently move him before he said, "Oh...... You've all discussed it, huh? This...... I decided to go to Tianjin to negotiate with Yuan Shikai in person, and then try my best to persuade him to oppose the Qing Dynasty. ”

As soon as Sun Wen said this, everyone was in an uproar, "Prime Minister...... Sir, by no means! It's too dangerous to go to Tianjin, and there are a lot of patrols over there, once you ......"

Seeing that everyone admired his courage, Sun Wen smiled casually: "Throw your head and spill your blood for the revolution!" Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to be overthrown, what do our generation have to hesitate?! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was impressed, and the meeting ended. In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Wen bought two ferry tickets to Tianjin, one for the first flight in the morning and the other for the late flight, with a gap of four days. Wang Zhaoming and the others went to Tianjin to meet Yuan Shikai in the first flight, and he arrived four days later, and then prepared to meet Yuan Shikai's representative on the cruise ship - since the British prisoner, Sun Wen has always been careful when traveling, even when he met the French in Shanghai, he was only on the ship.

Five days later, the members of the alliance sent the prime minister with tears, and at the same time tried their best to contact Fang Junying and others, but the two seemed to have disappeared and could not be contacted.

Wang Zhaoming, who arrived in Tianjin four days earlier than Sun Wen, thought of a rhetoric before he got off the ship, but no one introduced Yuan Shikai to the place as soon as he arrived, especially after the assassination case in Beijing, the Beiyang Yamen was full of soldiers, and it was really difficult to contact, so he had to write a letter in impatience, which only said that there was an urgent secret to tell him, and he could solve the situation of sitting and waiting to be killed, and then he was waiting in the concession. The next day, someone did come to the door. There were a few people who came, one of them was a scribe, and the others looked like soldiers.

The scribe is actually Zhang Yilin, everything in the capital is a big game, although he is Yuan Shikai's henchman, but the level is too low, so he was replaced by Yang Shiqi to enter Beijing, and he returned to Tianjin.

"Didn't ask?" Zhang Yilin arched his hand and said to Wang Zhaoming.

"In Xia Wang Zhaoming, a native of Panyu, Guangdong, a member of the Alliance." Wang Zhaoming got straight to the point, and as soon as he looked up, he said his identity.

Zhang Yilin saw that he was talented, but he didn't want to be a revolutionary party, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and said: "The marshal has never had a relationship with the revolutionary party, and Mr. Wang is here to be a ......."

"Lord Yuan tried his best to train the new army of Beiyang for the Manchu Dynasty, but the Manchus were still suspicious, now the Empress Dowager Cixi is dead, Emperor Guangxu is back in power, and the situation of Lord Yuan is afraid to ...... Fierce and auspicious. Wang Zhaoming looked at the literati he saw, and he had a feeling that he couldn't figure it out.

"Thunder, rain and dew, it's all Jun'en, even if the emperor doesn't like adults, it's also the creation of adults." Although Zhang Yilin knew that the palace guard was already burning his buttocks, he still looked like he had nothing to do.

Seeing that it was an oil and salt that did not enter, Wang Zhaoming changed his thinking. Said: "Premier Sun Yat-sen, our alliance, will go to Tianjin in four days, and I want to talk to Lord Yuan or Mr. Zhang." At that time, there should be a secret gift to solve the current dilemma. ”

Zhang Yilin knew exactly what the people of the Alliance were thinking at this time, although he felt that these people were uneasy and kind, but it was not good to refuse completely, and only after Wang Zhaoming said his contact information, he said his resignation and left.

In Yuan Shikai's study, Zhang Yilin finished speaking, and Yuan Shikai was silent. After a long time, he said, "What do you think of Zhongren?" ”

"Marshal, I'm afraid the alliance will not give up this time." Wang Zhaoming was full of confidence in the inn, and that kind of aura and tone of voice made Zhang Yilin very vigilant.

"Oh. What tricks can Sun Wen play? Yuan Shikai was dismissive of the revolutionary party. They have a lot of dead soldiers, and there are many soldiers under their own command, and the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, but the alliance is not even a dog. It's just a rat at most.

"Great. It's a possibility. At this point, he could only think about the worst, "If we don't get along with the Alliance in a few days, things will change." Last year's two bombings were done by the Alliance, and this time Lafayette was killed, I'm afraid they did it too, and they are now confidently talking to us about things, and I'm worried that this is a plan. Once they let out the wind. said that the marshal instructed this assassination behind his back, didn't that just give Kyonai an excuse? "Zhang Yilin is a confidant in Yuan Shikai's staff. is very familiar with people, and can probably guess a thing or two about the alliance's calculations.

"Just these reluctant people still want to trap me in." Yuan Shikai sneered, but in the end the words were a burst of powerlessness, his Beiyang minister, the governor of Zhili, was now considered to have done it, Yang Shiqi has been running around the capital for the past few days, to little effect, it is said that there are already rumors in the capital "stay away from Yuan Shikai", if it weren't for Yang Shiqi saying that he and Zhu Erdian had a good talk, the British would definitely help him get through this difficulty, Yuan Shikai is afraid that he is really going to flee to the concession. As for the rebellion, he has long broken off his thoughts, the British, American, Japanese, French, German and other ministers have expressed optimism about the Chinese political situation after Guangxu took power, in this case, even if he gave Yuan Shikai ten dares, even if he took the capital, the result was nothing more than a good man of the great powers, interfering in the political situation and returning to Guangxu. All he wants now is to be able to go home safely to retire, and as for the recovery, it is really unthinkable.

"Did the assassin catch it?" Yuan Shikai pounded his head, thinking of this assassin who killed people and did not pay for his life.

"Not yet, Yang Yide and they just found out that the assassin should be two people, and it is also a woman, in order to wait for Lafayette to go to the Summer Palace, they stayed on the side of Changchun Bridge for more than ten days, and one of them is estimated to be the sharpshooter who appeared in Jinmen last year." Prince Su Shanqi did not turn away Yuan Shikai's people, and Zhao Bingjun and Yang Yide, the patrol police investigation team from Tianjin, were still investigating the assassination case.

"What if they didn't kill Lafayette?" Yuan Shikai didn't know how to say a word of nonsense, and after coming back to his senses, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I, Yuan Shikai, would fall into this kind of field because of a gunman, I guess this is the retribution for killing the revolutionary party last year." ”

Ten days have passed since the assassination, but the assassin's grasp seems to be just for show, what is more fierce than the live assassin is the seizure of power, Zai Ze's side because of his meritorious service, and Tie Liang was appointed to the list of ministers of funeral, and the list of his predecessors is nothing more than Prince Li, Prince Rui, and Prince Khalkha, after the fourth, in fact, the first three are all virtual kings, and there is no real power in the name of the empty prince, and behind Zai Ze is the alcohol prince Zaifeng, the university scholar Shixu, Na Tong, Tobe Shangshu Tieliang, and Zai Shu, who has been removed from the title of Baylor and has not been able to return to the house since Wuxu, Finally, there are the two Ministers of the Interior.

Among them, except for Na Tong who is a good friend everywhere, the others are not Qing Yuan's people, and the Ministry of Commerce is still the book Zaizhen, but because of the new Beijing News broke the news, he was disrespectful by an unknown imperial historian - that is, during the funeral, he also laughed and celebrated, and behaved irreverently, Guangxu was angry and wanted to be strict, but under the plea of Na Tong and others, he was only dismissed.

The wind and clouds in Beijing have protruded from this, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Guangxu, who has just come out of the mountain, the popular Zai Ze, Tie Liang, and Lu Chuanlin, Qu Hongji, these clear streams have been synthesized together, and they have worked together to target Qing Yuan, to overturn them to the ground, and the officials from all over the country who had taken refuge in them have sent people to sneak to the capital, or entered the door of Zai Ze, the prince of alcohol, Zai Ze did not refuse the silver that came to them, and Zai Feng was much more honest, but there was his Fujin Guerjia clan, and two younger brothers Zai Tao and Zai Xun. Money is too little, not too much.

When the internal situation of the imperial court changed abruptly, Guangxu took advantage of Cixi's funeral to grant amnesty to the world, except for the amnesty of the reformers. He believes that the reason why the revolutionaries have been killed repeatedly is because there is no constitution, and now that the imperial court has achieved a constitution, then there is no need for the revolutionary party to carry out another revolution, and the list of amnesties does not only include the people of the Renaissance Society. Even the members of the Alliance, even Sun Wen, the leader of the Rebellion Party, were inside. Of course, the pardon for the revolutionary party is not a direct cancellation of the arrest proclamation. Rather, the revolutionaries first went to the yamen to turn themselves in, and only after they surrendered could they be completely pardoned for their crimes.

In addition to the method of pardon, Shanqi also has an excerpt about the funeral of the queen mother, thinking that the people in the world are in distress now. The queen mother has always loved the people like a son. Doing a special job will only cost the people and money, and even the queen mother's spirit in the sky will not like Yunyun. This fold is very to Guangxu's appetite, but public opinion is important, he just ordered the funeral to be handled in accordance with the regulations, and at the same time reprimanded the internal affairs government for most of the monthly expenses, and needed to reduce or reduce it to fill the treasury, and on the grounds that the daily consumption of the Summer Palace was too large, the garden was closed. The female eunuch of the inner palace was either dismissed or retained. In the end, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered not to admit any new eunuchs.

Prince Su won the reputation of the virtuous king in the court and the opposition because of the two uphangs, while Guangxu won the praise of the Ming monarch among the people because of the reduction of expenditure and the closure of the Summer Palace. Everyone feels that the Guangxu Emperor who led everyone to change the law in the past is back, especially the closure of the Summer Palace, which is very happy, and everyone feels pain in their hearts when they are defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War, and many people say that if this courtyard is not repaired, then the First Sino-Japanese War will not be defeated by Japan; This is the case at home, and foreign countries are also applauding, they think that the most important thing is not to reduce expenditure and close the Summer Palace, but not to accept eunuchs, foreign adults think that it is extremely barbaric to brutally cut off that part of the man, Zai Ze said on the first day of the compilation bureaucracy that the eunuchs would be abolished, but this is related to the livelihood of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, Guangxu can only order no more eunuchs.

Seeing that the throne of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, and the people's will is becoming more and more determined, the revolutionary party has felt the pressure, but the most unbearable thing is Tao Chengzhang in the capital.

"Huanqing, don't be angry. Didn't you already say in the meeting that you should wait and see what happens? I don't believe that one Guangxu can cure the country. "During this time, Yichun Garden had no business, and Gong Baoquan had been secretly investigating Fang Junying and others, but he had no gains.

"Quiet?! In this situation, how can it be quiet?! Didn't you hear the talk on the streets outside? The common people say that Emperor Guangxu is a holy monarch, and I have been saved in the Qing Dynasty. If you look at his actions, this is really the atmosphere of a wise king. If we wait quietly like this, then the Manchu dynasty will only become more and more stable! And what kind of surrender and pardon, this is to drive out our revolutionary party to the end! Revolution? Who will revolutionize with us then? What revolution do we take?! Tao Chengzhang shouted, increasingly dissatisfied with the strategy in the meeting.

"But Yuan Shikai still has no signs of rebellion!" Tao Chengzhang has a fierce temperament, there are not many people who can get along with him, although Gong Baoquan is familiar with his temper, but it is the first time he has seen him so fierce, he feels that something will happen to him sooner or later, "Huanqing, there is discipline in the meeting, since we have decided to wait and see, then we should abide by this order." ”

"Discipline is a fart! I'm here for revolution. "I don't know why, Tao Chengzhang's tone calmed down - from the first time he entered the revival meeting and saw Yang Jingcheng for the first time, discipline has been like a tight spell on his head, and now the momentum of the Manchu Qing is getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn't want to be bound by discipline more and more." I'm going back. He concluded.

"Where are you going?" Gong Baoquan didn't understand why he calmed down.

"Go to Anhui." Tao Chengzhang said neatly.

"Anhui?"

"Yes. A few years ago, Bosun took refuge in the Tartars for some reason, and now it is said that he has become a great official, and I want to persuade him to join us in opposing the Qing Dynasty. Tao Chengzhang is talking about Xu Xilin, who has been undercover for two years, and he doesn't know about undercover.

Xu Xilin and Gong Bangquan also knew, he pointed at Tao Chengzhang and said, "Huanqing, are you really going to be hard-hearted this time?" ”

"Yes. If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent! I'm not used to the good days in Beijing, and I'm sad to see the homeless people outside. Before I was born, I am not a person who lives a rich life, and I can't live this kind of life, I can't stand it, I just want to die with the bomb and the Tartar like Meng Xia and them. It is even said that the average life expectancy of us Chinese is only 25 years old, and I have now wasted 29 years, which is four years longer than the average person, and even if I die, it is not a loss. I only thought that if we don't make a revolution, I'm afraid that those people in the meeting will really forget that we are a revolutionary party. ”

Tao Chengzhang left Yichun Garden after speaking, Gong Baoquan was only stunned by his last words, in parallel, not to mention Shanghai, in Beijing because he is the boss of Yichun Garden, the life is really brocade clothes and jade food, many times he himself will laugh inexplicably, I always thought that the revolution was throwing my head and spilling blood, who would have thought that life could be like this.

He thought about this, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Tao Chengzhang had gone away, and sent someone to find it at home, and said that Master Tao went to the train station with his luggage, and his family didn't know where he went, only one servant said that he was going to take the Jinghan Railway that had just been built to Hankou. As soon as Gong Baoquan heard Hankou, he knew that he was going straight down to Anqing from Hankou to persuade Xu Xilin to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and Xu Xilin was now in a high position, how could he oppose the Qing Dynasty. Gong Baoquan shook his head, entered the study and began to report the matter to Shanghai, and at the same time reported the plan to convert Yichun Garden into a courtyard - King Qing is about to fall, and now the most popular in Beijing is Zhenguo Gong Zaize, this time for Prince Alcohol Zaifeng, and again for Prince Su Shanqi. Yi Chunyuan didn't dare to go to Zaifeng, who had a fierce wife, but just entered Zaize's door and handed over 50,000 taels of silver, which was considered to be a guarantee. In fact, many of the industries that will come down from the revival will have begun to make such a transfer, Zaize and Zaifeng are the first bets, and Shanqi is the second bet, spending a lot of money but having to do so.
