After Yang Rui returned to Kanda from the Qingshan training ground, he has been immersed in the arrangements for dropping out of school, in fact, everything is ready, and even the people of the education association have already arrived in Yokohama, and several cruise ships chartered from China Merchants have also sailed to Nagasaki, and the cruise ships will arrive in Yokohama in three days.

Lin Zheng and Yu Youren still can't see any signs of large-scale withdrawal of international students, but Yang Rui has already arranged it like this, and they can only obey under the ineffectiveness of questioning. Waiting for Yang Rui to leave the room, Yu Youren asked Lin Ji, "Mr. Bai Shui, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Ji didn't speak, but his sister Lin Suzong smiled, "What else, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, I think about it, I am leisurely, I toss and turn......"

"You ......" Lin Ji glared at his sister. Yang Rui's liking for a student of a women's higher normal school was first discovered by Lin Suzong, and several people from Tianjin settled down with the help of Lin Ji, and Bai Ru's observer Chen Xiaoniu's yearning for love and innocent nature made Lin Suzong, who took care of them, understand a lot of things, she actually has an inexplicable liking for the quiet and mysterious man, but she has no chance to do anything.

"I ......" Lin Suzong was frightened by his brother's glare, and as soon as she left, a student ran in and said hurriedly: "Something is wrong!" Go out...... It's a big deal! The star is dead. ”

"What!" Lin Ji and Yu Youren both screamed. "Really?"

"Really! It was found in the sea over the Omori side. Zhu Jian gasped, he had just gotten the news from the International Student Association. In order to inform the newspaper as much as possible, he came all the way.

Lin Ji heard that this was true. Sitting on the stool, he sighed for a long time, "What a genius!" Heaven is jealous of talents! ”

Next to Yu Youren is also sad. Before the establishment of the Fuxing Association, Zhang Taiyan, Zou Rong, and Chen Tianhua were not small. The most important thing in the revolution is not the arms, but the ideology, especially in a room that has been confined for a long time, the most important thing is to wake everyone up, and if we do not break free from the foolish tricks of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and do not go beyond the set of three outlines and five constants, the revolution will never develop into such a vigorous situation today.

"Go tell Mr. Sù." Yu Youren was silent for a long time. In the end, Yang Rui must know about this matter, so he asked Zhu Jian to sue Yang Rui. Zhu Jian quietly walked to Yang Rui's room and said, "Sir." Chen Xingtaijun is dead. ”

In fact, Yang Rui had already heard their exclamations, and at that moment, he only felt that his heartbeat suddenly stopped a few times, and the end of the pen with the words written on his hand was also bent by him. Hear Zhu Jian's words. Yang Rui didn't look up, but said softly, "I know." ”

Maybe Yang Rui said it too lightly, or maybe it was Yang Rui's calmness that made Zhu Jian think that he didn't hear it. He raised his voice a little louder, and then said, "Sir, Chen Xingtaijun is dead." ”

"Me! Got it! This time, Yang Rui was furious, slamming his hand on the table, and the loud noise seemed to be heard by the whole house.

Chen Guangshou knew that Yang Rui was in a very bad mood today. Hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhu Jian: "Mr. knows, he is very sad about this." You go back first. ”

Zhu Jian thought that Yang Rui was angry. There was no grievance at all, but he bowed to Yang Rui with tears, and then turned back.

Yang Rui smiled evilly, only feeling that this was the biggest irony for himself, and the last thing he wanted to hear now was the words Chen Tianhua and Chen Xingtai. But just when he hated it, Lin Ji and Yu Youren came up.

"It turned out to be done, Xingtai is dead, and we should be out of the issue." After fully understanding Chen Tianhua's death, Lin Ji prepared to issue an issue and wanted to record all the events of Chen Tianhua's life so that everyone could commemorate Chen Tianhua. As for Yu Youren, he is ready to hold a large-scale rally, calling on all international students Chen Tianhua to study, promise the country with his body, and leave Japan.

"Brother Baishui, I'm tired. It's up to you and You Ren to do these things. Speaking of this, Yang Rui suddenly turned around and took out a stack of money from his luggage folder and handed it to Lin Ji, and said, "Help me hand over this money to his parents." ”

Lin Ji looked at the stack of money, feeling that there were thousands of yuan, I don't know if it is appropriate to hand over so much money, he was about to speak, Chen Guangshou said softly beside him: "Mr. Baishui, Mr. is in a very bad mood." I'd like to ask you to do these things. ”

Lin Ji looked at Yang Rui with a sad face, then looked at the money in his hand, nodded and took Yu Youren away. As soon as he went down, he mobilized all the editors and students to collect Chen Tianhua's life deeds. In the early morning of the next day, the news about Chen Tianhua's suicide in the sea was sent to every international student. Chen Tianhua was smiling on the outside, but all the international students were sad and indignant. Soon, on December 10, the International Student Hall, Jinhui Hall, Fujimi and other gathering places were filled with international students dressed in black and white flowers. Representatives from more than 30 schools, including Toa Tongbun College, Hongbun Gakuin, Keitori Gakudo, Waseda University, Daisei School, Seijo School, Zhenmu School, Dongbin School, Toa Industrial School, Hosei University, Meiji University, Iwakura Railway School, Tokyo Imperial University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Foreign Chinese School, Toa Business School, Tokyo Shiji Girls' School, Girls' Art School, Kyoritsu Girls' School, Higher Women's Technical School, and Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School, gave lectures. In the afternoon of the same day, the backbone of the International Student Association discussed a total of 13 measures for returning to China and dealing with the aftermath. The measures were printed and distributed to all schools on the second day, and some schools that were not in Tokyo were funded by the International Student Association, and a telegram was sent informing foreign students to withdraw from school.

On the morning of December 13, the first batch of 1,500 international students all gathered at the International Student Association, and then walked to Tokyo Shimbashi Railway Station en masse, and took the train to Yokohama to take a boat back to China. In the face of this situation, all walks of life in Japan believe that there is absolutely no compromise with Qing students, and the Asahi Shimbun even issued a-for-tat comment on December 14: "...... If you want to go back, let them go back, don't let them be powerless to make trouble here. This kind of student, even if we have the heart to train him, it will be in vain......"

The next day, the China Times published an editorial entitled "Farewell. Tokyo! Also in color: "...... A certain newspaper said that Chinese students have indulgent and despicable temperaments, but Chen Xingtai argued that he died -- there should be people in China who serve the country and serve the public! A certain newspaper also said that the international students were unreasonable, but the international students were polite and did not commit any offenses in the autumn, so in order not to destroy the Japanese cruise, they had to take the cruise ship of their own country to return home!

Since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Japanese have insulted our students everywhere, and even the children who go out on the street alone have contemptuously called them 'guinea tail slaves'. Others, such as coachmen, clerks, cooks, women, and other people from all walks of life, have insulted many of my international students! Recalling that more than 1,000 years ago, Japan sent envoys to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and China treated each other with courtesy. I don't dare to slack off the slightest insult, and in today's Japanese society, insults to international students can be seen everywhere, compared with ancient and modern. It can be seen that the character of the country and the morality of the people are seen.

Chinese students come to Japan for different purposes. It is either for study or to be an official, but it has never been disrespectful to Japan, and now the ban rules have been introduced, and there are not no political factors behind it. I really don't want Japan to be known as a country of etiquette and civilization, and I will do this, which really makes all international students frightened!

Today, my international student dropped out of school in order to study in a free place! Today, my international student quits school in order to save a hot but nowhere to burn patriotic heart! Today. Our international students packed up their last dignity and boarded the cruise ship home. Then he turned around and waved his hand, 'Farewell, Tokyo!' ’”

All the Japanese newspapers disdained the return of international students, but after two successive large-scale group return of international students, the Japanese began to shake up, and they found that the withdrawal of international students was not a sporadic return of a few, a dozen, or dozens of them, as was the case before, but an organized mass return to China, and at the current rate, all 14,000 international students in the country will be gone within a month. If these international students run out, then Japan will lose more than 5 million yuan in income every year, and more importantly, once the international students are gone, then the plan to educate the Chinese generation and influence the national policy of the next generation of China will all fail.

While the Japanese were secretly alarmed by the fierce withdrawal of international students, the members of the League were still grieving and indignant at Chen Tianhua's suicide, especially the members of the former Huaxing Association, such as Tian Tong, Song Jiaoren, Hu Ying and others, who were even more indignant and urgently demanded that all the international students withdraw from the university. However, at the withdrawal organization meeting on the morning of December 17, things changed a little.

"There must be a conspiracy here!" Cheng Jiaqi, who convened everyone for a meeting, was the first to take the lead, he glanced at Hu Hanmin and Wang Zhaoming, and then stopped talking. In fact, it is not good for him to speak directly, the day after Chen Tianhua's death, he wrote an article in the Asahi Shimbun, mentioning that all international students quit school, and now it has suddenly changed to not supporting dropping out, and everyone will definitely say that he has backtracked.

"It's weird." Hu Hanmin took over the conversation and began to go deeper, "The accident in Xingtai was on the 8th, but the cruise ship of China Merchants on the 13th arrived in Yokohama, according to the date, it should have left Shanghai on the 6th or 7th, otherwise it would not have been able to arrive in Tokyo so early." ”

"Yes! There must be a Qing court troublemaker here......" Wang Zhaoming finally answered, but before he finished speaking, he was slapped and scattered by Hu Ying, only to hear this man who was like a wounded beast shouting angrily: "What are you talking about!" It was you who said you were going to organize a class strike to protest, and it was you who said you would quit school! Now it is you who say that it is the one who has the scheme! When I ......," Hu Ying said and suddenly sobbed, he pointed at Wang Zhaoming with his finger, "...... At the beginning, Xingtai did not agree to boycott classes, that is, you had to boycott classes...... If you don't boycott classes, Xingtai will ...... You ......" Hu Ying couldn't go on, and cried out.

Hu Ying's crying made the meeting stop, and seeing that the scene was unfavorable, Cheng Jiaqi had no choice but to accompany him and cry out, "Woo...... Xingtai, why can't you think about it......" As soon as he cried, the others began to cry.

After crying for a while, seeing that everyone's feelings were a little reversed, Cheng Jiatao said again: "Comrades, Xingtai's last words are to let us 'be stoic and patriotic', we can't let everyone drop out of school, once you drop out, then everyone's studies will be ruined!" ”

"According to the academic level of Japan, this is not much better." A woman's voice rang out. Cheng Jiaqi turned his head to look for it, he remembered that he deliberately did not notify Qiu Jin to come to the meeting.

"I'm here!" The girl said again, Cheng Jiaqi saw a young girl sitting at the most entrance, her short hair and black student clothes made her extremely inconspicuous, "My name is Du Wen, a native of Baoding, and I joined the club the day before yesterday." ”

Hearing that it was a new member, He Xiangning said, "Sister Du." You just didn't understand it. If you don't strike or not, if you quit or not, the executive department will make a decision. We do it as a member. ”

"Hehe, this sister, we are striking to attract more members, and the same is true for dropping out. Chen Xingtaijun died for the country, shouldn't we drop out of school for the country? I have been in Japan for three years, and Japanese people can be seen insulting me everywhere as an international student, and I used to endure humiliation and burden for the sake of my studies. But now when I look at the comparison of the academics of various countries in the China Times, I know that ......"

As soon as Du Wen said that the China Times angered several people, but it was Zhu Zhixin who spoke first. "This comrade, as I have already informed at the meeting, that we cannot believe any of the newspapers and periodicals of the Revival Society, let alone read them."

Zhu Zhixin is a native of Panyu, Guangdong. The vernacular is mixed with the official dialect. It was difficult to understand, and the presiding judge, Deng Jiayan, said: "The Renaissance Association has been encouraging international students to drop out, which is a gesture of sincerity to the Qing court, and it is also to cut off the life of our alliance." We must stop international students from dropping out and let everyone stay. ”

Deng Jiayan's words Du Wen understood, according to the three giants of the Alliance, she should bow her head and listen to the training, but she has no good feelings for men since she was a child. When I was a child, I did a lot of things to beat little boys and catch balls, and immediately retorted: "If all the international students return to China." The Chinese Education Association will definitely not be able to accommodate so many people, and the remaining returning students who are unable to attend school will join us. It's not bad for us, it's good for us. At that time, 40,000 people across the country will be mobilized, and the Qing court will be like a chicken and a dog, and it will be restored in an instant! ”

Du Wen's words were completely beyond the imagination of everyone present, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and others looked at this short-haired girl who looked like a boy in amazement, while Hu Hanmin, Deng Jiayan, Wang Zhaoming and others looked at her angrily, just when her words fell, Hu Hanmin pointed to the door and said, "You go out!" ”

Du Wen was stunned, and she didn't expect that what she would give herself would be "You go out!" "Three words. Hu Hanmin shouted again, "Get out!" ”

Du Wen had seen a lot of men, she got up and sneered: "This is the Alliance, don't enter." If you want to go, you can give me back my entrance fee! ”

actually ran into a person who asked for an entrance fee, everyone present was furious, but Du Wen was not afraid, although she joined the alliance for three days, she did not recognize many things in the meeting, and wanted to find a time to put forward her own views to improve the alliance, but she didn't expect to be kicked out by them.

Seeing Du Wen stretching out her hand to ask for money, Jiang Zunwei, who was standing next to her, immediately took out a dollar to send her away, Du Wen took the money, and looked at the light to see the authenticity, but did not go out when she saw that it was true, but stepped forward to the table, "bang", threw the silver peach of the alliance on the table, the sign was turning, and when the silver peach stopped, Du Wen had already gone out and left without looking back.

As soon as Du Wen left, the people in the room shook their heads, and Hu Hanmin was relieved in his heart, I don't know why, he was very flustered and scared when he saw the woman's eyes, it seemed... It was as if the woman could catch him at any moment. The chaos brought by Du Wen disappeared after a while, and Cheng Jiaqi continued to speak on the topic just now: "Comrades, what the enemy opposes is what we insist on, and what the enemy insists on is what we oppose. Now that the Renaissance Association is organizing international students to return to China, we should oppose this matter. We would like to call on all international students to put their studies first and not drop out and return to their home countries. ”

Seeing that he finally said his words, Song Jiaoren, who had been watching from the side, stood up and said: "The return of international students has nothing to do with opposing the Renaissance Association. If Japan insults our students, we should mobilize all students to withdraw from their studies and return to China. ”

"That's right! What he said at the beginning of the year is right, we should mobilize international students to drop out of school and return to China. Tian Tong, Cao Yabo, Zeng Jiwu, Liu Daoyi, and Jiang Zuobin all echoed in unison. Among them, Liu Dao said: "Just now...... I think it would be helpful for everyone to return to China and go to various local sports meetings and party meetings and wait for an opportunity to launch an uprising. ”

"Ridiculous! The Manchus are waiting for us to return to China, and we must not return to China. Wang Jingwei, the chairman of the council, saw that the situation was a little out of control, and had to reprimand that the script for today's meeting had already been arranged, the purpose was to prevent international students from returning to China, but he was interrupted all the time, and he said categorically: "I mention that the League will be established to maintain the Overseas Students Comrades Association to prevent international students from returning to China." Members are invited to vote by show of hands. ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the alliance, there were 20 members [Note], Hunan and Hubei combined only Tian Tong, Cao Yabo, Zhou Laisu, and Wu Kun, while Liangguang had Feng Lifu, Liang Muguang, Hu Hanmin, Fan Zhihuan, Zhu Zhixin, Wang Jingwei, plus Sichuan people from Yishui, such as Dong Xiuwu, Xiong Kewu, Dan Maoxin, Wu Dingchang, and Wang Qi. Even if Hubei and Hunan are of the same mind, the outcome of the resolution is also swayed by Wang Jingwei. Song Jiaoren didn't study the setting of the alliance in detail at first, but later thought about it. I only think that this separation of powers design is really ingenious, Hunan and Hubei, which have the largest number of people, do not have an advantage in the parliament, but all Sichuan members have become councilors, and he has become more and more taboo about the two Guangxi and one system, and he has guessed that one day they will definitely play the sign of democratic voting to manipulate the resolution. I didn't expect it to come today.

"It is a major matter for the League to be resolved by all members of the Alliance, and everyone should express their opinions." At a time when everyone in Hunan and Hubei felt that their strength was weak and it was difficult to win the vote. Song Jiaoren threw out this method. Once the unanimous resolution is made, the members of Hunan and Hubei account for more than 60% of the total, and the result will be that Huguang will win.

"That's right! Right! We want all members to make a decision. More people shouted.

Wang Zhaoming was about to raise his hand, who knew that Song Jiaoren interrupted his rhythm. He was about to say that it was extremely inappropriate for Song Jiaoren to mention yì. I felt that it was very inappropriate for me to say this, and at this time, the presiding judge, Deng Jiayan, stood up gloriously, "As the presiding judge, I think that this matter does not need to be discussed by all members. ”

Song Jiaoren immediately shot back: "This resolution needs a vote of all members before it can take effect!" ”

Deng Jiayan said: "I am the judge of the Alliance, and I have the right to ......."

"I am the chief prosecutor, and I have the right to inspect the irregularities in the association!" Song Jiaoren didn't give an inch and pushed Deng Jiayan back!

The meeting was deadlocked for a while, and Huang Xing spoke at this time. "Let's stop here for this meeting, and we'll discuss it tomorrow."

As soon as Song Jiaoren heard Huang Xing's tone, he felt that he wanted to talk to Hu Hanmin and others in private. I was not angry in my heart, and said: "Keqiang ......"

Huang Xing interrupted him, turned his head to look at him and said, "Let's discuss it tomorrow." Then he said to everyone in a loud voice: "Everyone go back, if this matter is not handled well, it will damage unity, and we will discuss it again tomorrow." ”

Sun Zhongshan was not there, Huang Xing took his place, as the head of the executive department, plus he was prestigious, a group of people got up and went out, Song Jiaoren saw him like this, so he had to sigh, and left without saying anything.

That night, Huang Xing knocked on Song Jiaoren's door, and as soon as he heard the knock, Song Jiaoren said: "The door is not bolted, Keqiang come in." ”

Huang Xing opened the door and said with a smile: "I can really pinch and calculate at the beginning, so I know that I am here." He just wanted to smile and ease the atmosphere, and remembered that Xingtai's bones were not cold, so he immediately restrained his smile and cautiously entered the room.

Song Jiaoren put down the psychology handout he was looking at and said to Huang Xing: "Say, Keqiang, what agreement did you reach with them?" ”

Huang Xing saw Song Jiaoren's cold face, and couldn't help but persuade: "Dunchu, why do you have such a big opinion about Yunsun and Zhantang, everyone is a revolutionary comrade, and they should discuss things well, if the revolution wants to succeed, it is not possible to be ununited." ”

"Hehe, Keqiang, are you really confused or fake? The Huaxing Association has the largest number of members in the Alliance, but there are only four members! Song Jiaoren was angry when he mentioned this, especially just now Wang Zhaoming was still holding the guise of democracy to manipulate the meeting, which made him extremely angry, and he felt more and more that the so-called separation of powers was Sun Wen's trap, and it seemed that Liu Yuyi was right!

Huang Xing saw him in such an atmosphere, but he still wanted to maintain the unity of the League, and said: "At the beginning of the retreat, the revolution is not a business, and we must not bring the idea of shareholding to the revolution, which is a taboo for unity. ”

Seeing that Huang Xing was still bent on maintaining the so-called "unity", Song Jiaoren smiled indifferently: "Okay, Keqiang, you say, what do you want me to do to unite?" ”

Huang Xing glanced at Song Jiaoren, who was still unconvinced, and said, "We want to set up a Association to maintain the comrades studying abroad and prevent international students from returning to China!" ”

"Why?!! Is Xingtai white dead? Song Jiaoren's voice was raised, glaring at Huang Xing and asking him for an answer.

"Because Mr. Chungsan sent a telegram that he hoped that the international students would not return to China." Huang Xing also just learned about this from Wang Zhaoming.

"Why don't you go back home? When you return to China, you can even mobilize the party and the new army, which we have discussed! Song Jiaoren asked while guessing Sun Wen's true intentions.

When Song Jiaoren glared at Huang Xing and waited for an answer, Huang Xing was silent, and for a long time, Song Jiaoren gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Sun Wen is a dog of the Japanese!" ”

"You! …… Don't insult Mr. Chungsan! Huang Xing knew the truth of the matter and couldn't refute it.

Song Jiaoren wanted to say something more, but he was already very tired, he held his head in both hands, and said slowly but stubbornly: "Keqiang, please go back." I'm not going to attend any sustaining meetings. That's a traitor! (To be continued......)
