Chapter Seventy-Nine: Elm

After a day of tossing, Yang Rui was almost tired, but he still jumped up when he heard the news, and said hurriedly: "Where did the news come from, what did you say?" ”

Chen Guangshou is not completely clear about Zhu Kuanji, but he is just not completely clear. has been by Yang Rui's side for a long time, many things are connected, and he can still see the origin of some things, which is why he immediately reported Yang Rui when he received the news. "It seems to be news from the U.S. side, but it's not certain. Now the news has been reported in domestic newspapers, among which those Japanese newspapers have published a full page of headlines, saying that the revival society is trying to falsely claim to be the former Ming clan, and its revolutionary purpose is only to restore the Ming Dynasty, and the president Yang Jingcheng wants to ascend the throne and become emperor; In addition, some people say that the Fuxing Society secretly made dragon robes and seal letters in the Ming Dynasty, and that the rebels were hiding somewhere in the United States, and they speculated that the Fuxing Society should have some connection with the former Ming clan, and its revolutionary funds should also be provided by the former Ming clan. ”

There are many news in the newspaper, and Chen Guangshou only introduced a few representative ones. The more Yang Rui listened, the more frightened he became, but after a while, he quieted down, Zhu Kuanji's matter leaked out, in fact, there was not much loss for the Revival Society, the Western-style republic was not the result that the Revival Association wanted, Yang Rui planned to build a country that looked like an empire from the people and was essentially a party-state. It's just that the empire and the party-state are not good, and in the end it is estimated that it can only be called the Republic of China. For this model, what will the two million gentry think, Yang Rui doesn't care, just like later generations, when will the propaganda in the white area affect the people in the red zone? For the people who were not very literate, they did not care what the form of government was. They want to have enough to eat.

"Contact the Goryeo stick Li Xiangqian and ask if he has revealed the news over there?" Yang Rui said.

Yang Rui went out for a day, and Chen Guangshou received a lot of telegrams. Hearing this, he said: "There has been a telegram from his side, saying that it is definitely not his side that has leaked the news, and there is no change in the palace." ”

"What about Zixun?" Yang Rui asked again, surprised at how such a top-secret thing came out.

"Mr. Yu also said that he didn't know what was going on, and that it wasn't his problem at all." Chen Guangshou said.

"Fuck it." Yang Rui scolded, "Then who did this thing?!" ”

When Yang Rui was exploding, Yu Zixun from New York also looked at Wang Jitong in surprise in the study. "Brother Xu, this is ...... You didn't spread the word, did you? ”

"Not on my side." Wang Jitong shook his head and said, "If I deliberately leak the news, then I will definitely discuss it with you." Just casually leaked such a confidential thing. It's not good for us; Besides, even if he wants to tell the truth, it turns out that whether he wants to or not, he must say hello first. ”

Wang Jitong said very seriously. Get along for years. His character and handling Yu Zixun are still trustworthy. Besides, it is not the best time to announce this news now, let alone build momentum in advance, and the news ran out. But where did this leak news? Those North Koreans are all in the villa and don't go there, so it is impossible to spread the news, and besides, what good will this news do to the North Koreans?

Yu Zixun didn't understand the thoughts of the North Koreans, but Sun Wen understood it very well. Especially when he looked at Syngman Rhee in front of him.

"Mr. Chungsan, I hope this matter has nothing to do with me from beginning to end. Although I am in favor of a republican system as much as you are, many comrades in our organization still have illusions about the imperial power, and even if the country has now fallen to such a point, their stubbornness has not changed at all, and they still think that the autocracy of the emperor can save the country. Syngman Rhee and Sun Wen have the same experience, the same ideals, and face the same reality, after hearing Sun Wen's speech, the two quickly became confidants who talked about everything, and when the two sides were completely heart-to-heart, some things that should not be said were also said.

"Comrade Chenglong, don't worry." Sun Wen smiled very kindly, he just wanted to reassure Syngman Rhee, although he couldn't wait to spread the news to China, and now most of the domestic newspapers have also published the news. "Both of our countries are autocratic countries for thousands of years, and there are always some people who fantasize that the imperial power can be restored, and even more think that there is a wise and powerful emperor who can save the people from fire and water, and they do not believe in the power of democracy at all, and they cannot accept the most advanced republican form of government. There were also many comrades who had already joined the revolution and were persuaded by such ignorant ideas to devote themselves to the restoration of imperial power. Woe! Don't they know that it is precisely because of the emperor that the country has become so backward? If this continues, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species will only be in the mundane moment! ”

Sun Wen only said that more and more people in the League will leave and devote themselves to the Renaissance Society, and the young people who yearn for revolution in Japan are more attracted by the base of the Renaissance Society, especially after the victory of the Renaissance Army in Hangzhou at the beginning of the year, many people dropped out of school and returned to China to find a way to go to Yanzhou, and on the side of the Alliance, there are fewer and fewer people with the same heart and mind with him, and basically only the group of students from Guangdong remain. As for the original Huaxing Society, on the scholar's side, because Song Jiaoren continued to preach the holding of the Central Revolution, many people were diverted, and on the side of the Hui Party, there was another Communist Association, which pulled all the Hui parties in the Yangtze River area, if it weren't for Chen Yingshi gaining a foothold in Shanghai and gathering some Green Gang elements, I am afraid that except for the two Guangzhou, the League would have no place to stand.

Sun Wen's worries are Syngman Rhee's worries, Sun Wen's anger is Syngman Rhee's anger, and Syngman Rhee was a little excited when he heard this, "Mr. Zhongshan, when will the republic between you and me be realized?" ”

Sun Wen's expression was already solemn, and he was even more stunned when he asked, "Chenglong, the republic is the goal of my life's struggle, although I have died nine times without regrets!" Now the Chinese revolution is in decline, but I believe that the final victory will still be ours. I am full of confidence in the future! ”

When Sun Wen said that he was full of confidence in the future, Huang Xing in a certain apartment in Kanda District, Tokyo, Japan, said with the same certainty: "Comrades, although he has experienced many defeats, Mr. Tadayama is still full of confidence in the revolution. We should not be disappointed in our revolution just because the Revival Society defeated the two towns of the Manchus. We need to remember that republican democracy is the most advanced form of government in the world today. Only the most advanced form of government can make China prosperous, strong and prosperous. And the revival will restore an authoritarian and backward dynasty, which is fundamentally anti-historical and anti-democratic. We must ......."

Looking at the eloquent talk similar to Sun Wen's cannon, Song Jiaoren only felt a burst of irritability in his heart, he didn't think that Huang Xing needed to emphasize how the revival would be, and now everyone's mind was full of revival meetings, whether they praised or refuted, the result of this was to make everyone remember the revival meeting. And not the League. He waited for a long time, and only waited for Huang Xing to finish his words before asking, "Keqiang." What's next? Do you still have to go to the Liangguang area to hold a protest? ”

As soon as Song Jiaoren's words came out, Liu Yuyi, Hu Ying, Huang Fusheng, Wang Zhaoming, Zhu Zhixin, Tan Renfeng and several other people looked over, the first few people agreed with Song Jiaoren, and the latter two looked at Huang Xing. I wanted to wait for him to speak first and then retort.

Look at everyone and look at themselves. Huang Xing said in a deep voice: "The two Guangxi have been in the movement many times, and both the Hui Party and the New Army have sympathy and hope for revolutionaries. Now Mr. Takayama has gone to Europe and the United States to raise funds, but the Overseas Chinese Revival Association is also fundraising, so it takes more time and energy than usual, but now Japanese friends have helped us train officers, and there are more than 100 revolutionary fighters in the Qingshan School. Once they have completed their studies, it will be just in time for Mr. Chungsan to raise a huge amount of money. When the time comes, it will be successful in the two Guangju. ”

"But Liangguang is a remote place after all, and even if the uprising is successful, it will not matter if it is a manchu court. In my opinion, it is advisable to move in a neutral manner, not to be remote, to have a short period of war, not to be extended, and to have a small theater of war, not to be expanded. In addition, the anti-Qing Dynasty should be the three strategies, the upper policy is the central revolution, the movement of the northern army, with the Eastern Province as the backup, occupy Beijing in one fell swoop, and command the whole country, such as the Portuguese Revolution; The middle policy is to start the provinces along the Yangtze River at the same time, first establish a government, and then the Northern Expedition; The next policy is to get rid of the land, densely spread the party henchmen, enter the border to ask, Xu Tu is enterprising, and its place is the northeast or Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangdong, etc. If our revolution tries to raise righteousness again and is elected as the middle policy, then the two lakes and Sichuan can launch a response. Song Jiaoren said it loudly, he studied the righteousness well, but he felt that the current strategy was inappropriate.

"The revival will want to raise righteousness in the central part of the country, but what if the result is? Now, after their great victory, they don't even dare to capture Hangzhou, so they can only retreat into the mountains to protect themselves. When Zhu Zhixin heard Song Jiaoren's tirade, he couldn't help but be sarcastic, he was a native of Panyu and was completely a descendant of Sun Wen, and he believed that as long as it was advocated by Mr. Zhongshan, it was completely correct.

"That's right. The Yangtze River is the sphere of influence of the British, and no matter where we raise righteousness, the result will definitely be suppressed by the British, just like the current Revival Society. Although the two vast lands are the sphere of influence of France, the French have always supported the revolution, and if we approach and negotiate with them, they will not only oppose it, but will support it. Like Zhu Zhixin, Wang Zhaoming was also opposed, because of that little turmoil when the Japanese opposed Mr. Zhongshan, he had already regarded Song Jiaoren as an outlier.

"Keqiang, what he said at the beginning of the year is still reasonable, we have been raising righteousness in Liangguang, Sichuan and Lianghu comrades are simply unable to exert their strength, there are parties in Liangguang, and there are many parties in the Yangtze River. If we don't go to co-opt it, the Revival Association will already be co-opted on a large scale, and even if the Liangguang Revolution succeeds, then we can only be limited to the Liangguang Revolution, and the Yangtze River area will be the world of the Renaissance Association. Even looking at the two who opposed Song Jiaoren, Hu Ying had to come out to help, and in his heart, he also felt that it was not the right way to raise righteousness in Liangguang when he was old, even if the righteousness was successful, when the time came, these Cantonese people shouted that the Cantonese people would govern Guangdong, and then they would have to leave.

"Hmph. Even if the Fuxing Society occupies the Yangtze River, then we will fight it. Whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, they are all autocratic and backward governments, and if China is not a republic, the revolution will not stop. Zhu Zhixin said, his expression was very intense.

"Comrades, the Liangguang Righteousness is personally ordered by Mr. Zhongshan, and only by occupying Liangguang and entering the Lianghu can the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty be shaken. Just thinking about raising righteousness in the Yangtze River area - I thought so before, but here are all foreigners' concessions, and there is also the Yangtze River fleet of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, once the righteousness is raised, not to mention the Northern Expedition, it will be difficult to cross the river......" Seeing that everyone sitting there had different opinions, Huang Xing had to reiterate his views. However, he immediately changed the topic to another aspect: "Now it has been determined that the Revival Society is involved in the former Ming sect, or it wants to impersonate the former Ming clan. It is entirely possible that the revolution was aimed at restoring the former Ming Dynasty, and everyone must warn all comrades when they go back that they must see clearly the true face of the revival society's superficial revolution but in fact its autocracy. You can't be fooled by them. ”

"That's right! We will never allow another emperor in China! The ultimate goal of our revolution is to establish a republic where everyone can have freedom and democracy. Wang Zhaoming shouted.

"That's what I want to do. We can't let the revival society be deceived by the anti-Qing appearance, they are actually no different from the Manchus. I've heard that there is a system of mutual accusations within the Renaissance, which is simply an autocratic dictatorship. Liu Kuo together.

"That's right! The Revival Society is another Manchu Qing! Be sure to overturn it! "It's another humanity. For a while, the room was very lively, and it seemed that everyone had reached a consensus on the attitude towards the revival meeting.

The revolution was far from being suppressed by the Manchus, and more recently by the renaissance of the Revival Society. Now that the revival will show its autocratic appearance, the people of the alliance will suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and Huang Xing will arrange the task of propaganda. Only Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng were left in the house. Unlike at the meeting just now, he could now let go of his words, and only asked Song Jiaoren: "At the beginning of the year, what do you mean by this revolution in the central region?" Aren't you also against Mr. Chungsan? ”

Song Jiaoren saw Huang Xing ask like this. His eyes only swept over Tan Renfeng on the side, and then he said, "Brother Shiping is not an outsider, then I will make it clear." The purpose of the Liangguang uprising is only to find a place to raise troops under the protection of the French, and when the Liangguang is over, it can even enter and occupy the two lakes and shake the world. It's just that the French Euclair happened last time, and they no longer support our revolution. The reason why Keqiang and other comrades of the rebel army were sent to Nanyang was because of this. Take a step back. Even if the two Guang uprisings succeed, it is unknown whether the French will support us. Now the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are all the spheres of influence of the Revival Society, and they are strong and strong, if they attack the Northern Expedition one day, they will not wait for a moment, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will inevitably overthrow. For the sake of my long-term plan, we must now carry out activities in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to lay a solid foundation, otherwise China in the future will be the China of the Rejuvenation Association, although they are not individual dictatorships, but they are collective dictatorships, which are beneficial to China in the short term and difficult in the long run. ”

"At the beginning, autocracy will eventually fail, and the republic is the desire of the people. Although the Revival Association is powerful, it cannot jump out of China's past history and is still dreaming of a change of dynasties. According to Mr. Chungsan, they are outdated. Huang Xing didn't take Song Jiaoren's worries seriously, he used to be very taboo about revival meetings, but now it's different.

"Keqiang, what Dunchu said is still reasonable. If I go to the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to launch a meeting now, I think I will leave a place in the future, otherwise I will ......" Tan Renfeng stroked his beard and looked at the two of them for a while before saying: "Otherwise, there will really be no place to stand in the future." ”

"Why did Brother Shiping say this?" Huang Xing didn't take their worries very seriously, and only said: "The imperial power is an autocratic and backward power, and even the Manchus knew that they would open a parliament to coax the Han people." Now the revival society has embarked on a road of no return, and as long as they are restored, the whole country will oppose it. When the time comes, it's not that we don't have a place to stand, it's that they don't have a place to stand. ”

"Keqiang, hey!" Tan Renfeng looked at Huang Xing, who was male but not heroic, and then looked at Song Jiaoren, who was heroic but not heroic, and sighed very much, before the meeting, he was advised that Song Jiaoren left Tokyo and only went to Wuhan to exercise, but Song Jiaoren seemed to be a little afraid to discuss, and even said that he wanted to discuss with Huang Xing, this Huang Xing is a stubborn mule, and it is extremely difficult for him to see through this revolutionary form!

"Keqiang, don't you know that as soon as the former Ming clan comes out, the revival will take full advantage? Is there any party in the world who does not carry the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty? Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been around for more than 200 years, there are not a few people who think about it, and now the Revival Society is holding the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Who will oppose it then? Tan Renfeng looked at Huang Xing and said very earnestly.

"The Qing court is also a constitutional monarchy now, could it be said that the former Ming clan would be more wise than Emperor Guangxu?" The four words of constitutional monarchy only made Huang Xing's heart slammed, and he couldn't say such a sentence without words.

"Keqiang, Guangxu is wise or not, and the constitutional monarchy has nothing to do. What's more, the more wise the emperor, the less power he will release after the constitution. Now the news is that the Revival Society will support the former Ming clan to be the emperor, that is, support, then its rights must be very small, or even no power is possible, then it is the time when the Revival Society will hold the power! Today, there are many people who talk about revolutionaries, but very few people who talk about republicans, even the members of the League, who will go to see Mr. Sun's Three People's Principles and the Five Rights Constitution? Once the Manchu Qing Dynasty is overthrown, how many people in the world will continue to revolutionize? Don't you want to think about these questions? Tan Renfeng said.

"What Brother Shi Ping said is what I'm worried about, and now the revival will make a former Ming sect come out. True or not, it is most likely to implement a constitutional monarchy. If so, who else has a heart for a republic? After Tan Renfeng finished speaking, Song Jiaoren immediately followed along, he only thought that Huang Xinghui would agree to the central revolution he proposed.

Mr. Zhongshan believes, "In the expectant eyes of Tan Renfeng and Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing's first 'Mr. Zhongshan' dimmed their expectant eyes, "The republic is the general trend of the world, and no one can reverse this, and China's thousands of years of imperial autocracy, the people's hearts have been extremely repulsive to the emperor, once the revival will implement a constitutional monarchy, not only the people will turn their backs on it, but also the revolutionary comrades within it will turn their backs on it." ”

"Hey!" Tan Renfeng was in a hurry, and he just wanted to stomp his feet in excitement, "Keqiang, don't you know that Mr. Sun hasn't been back to China for more than ten years, what China is like, he is afraid that he only knows it in a dream." Once the former Ming clan becomes the emperor and reopens the imperial examination like the Fuxing Society in Hangzhou, then the hearts of the people and the people of the world will be attached. The people did not reject the emperor at all, they only hoped for a good emperor. If the Revival Society can stand tall in Yanzhou, it means that their organization is better than that of the Alliance, and once they really win the world, and then with this style, it is not impossible to have a reform like Japan......"

"Since the imperial examination has been abolished, is there a reason to reopen?" Huang Xing was very disimpressed with what Tan Renfeng said, although he had participated in the scientific examination, but he never treated it properly, "Even the Manchu Qing also knew that the imperial examination would not be abolished, if they reopened the imperial examination, the new students would inevitably be completely disappointed in it, how could they win the hearts of the people and the morale?" ”

"Keqiang, you ......" Tan Renfeng was so angry that he couldn't speak, in terms of revolutionary strategy, he and Song Jiaoren had different starting points, but they thought completely the same, and they both believed that they must raise righteousness in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, especially Wuchang, which has become the center of gravity of the world. There are a lot of Hunan people in Wuchang, and this place is close to Hunan, which can be said to be advantageous and human.

Seeing Tan Renfeng angry, Song Jiaoren next to him said: "Keqiang, China's great changes have been in the past few years, we can't have a place in the great changes, then the world is the Revival Association." If they are really a constitutional monarchy, it is fine, but I am afraid that they will practice autocracy under the guise of a constitutional monarchy. You and Mr. Zhongshan have planned several uprisings in Liangguang, but they have all failed, so can the next uprising succeed? ”

"With those backbones in Qingshan School, the next uprising will definitely be successful." Huang Xing said with certainty: "And Mr. Zhongshan also realized that righteousness would not work without a huge amount of money, and now that he has traveled around Europe and the United States to raise funds everywhere, once the time is ripe, the money will not be as embarrassing as before." In the final analysis, it is a matter of money, if there is money, there will be soldiers, and if there are soldiers, you can win. ”

Seeing that Huang Xing was still obsessed with the righteousness of Liangguang, Song Jiaoren had no choice but to remain silent. All he wanted the alliance to carry out the revolution in the central part of the country was to have a place in the political system in the future, and only by occupying Sichuan and Lianghu could he have the strength to compete with the revival society. He did not do this to take over the world, he just thought that without the backing of the army and the territory, it was useless to just take advantage of his tongue in the parliament. China must not go on as it did in the past when the dynasty was changed, and the political system of the entire country must undergo a complete revolution. And this is not something he can accomplish alone, but Huang Xing is an elm head, who has been addicted to the war of righteousness and cannot extricate himself, and he does not realize what a revolution is at all. (To be continued......)
