"Yo Xi." The words of the assistant made Oda Che completely recall the previous events, and "The Revolutionary Army" caused a huge repercussion among Qing intellectuals, and the imprisonment of Zou Rong and others led to the beginning of a series of anti-Qing organizations. The people of the East Asia Tongwen Academy did a very good job, especially from Zou Rong's enrollment, writing books, and publishing to help them throughout the process, which made the Qing Revolution have the scale it has today. "Now, who are the people planning for Zou Rong's matter, and what is their background?"
"Your Excellency, it is the people of the Patriotic Society who are running around for Zou Rong's matter now, I suspect... It is suspected that these people are members of the Qing National Revival Association, and the brain figure who presided over them is Wang Jitong. The assistant said as he handed over a photo of Wang Jitong, which was more of a portrait than a photo.
After seeing it, Xiao Tian Che said: "The Revival Society has still helped the empire a lot, the Songhua River Bridge was blown up by them, if the bridge is not blown up, Lu Guo will have more troops in the decisive battle of Mukden." Speaking of this, he asked, "Isn't there any news from their president, Mr. Cheng?" β
"Your Excellency, unfortunately, there is no news yet. However, it is speculated that their leader is one of the revival troops in Manchuria, nicknamed Monkey King. According to the mythology of the Qing Kingdom, the Monkey King rebelled, so this revival leader should be him. The assistant synthesized all aspects of the information, and involuntarily said that Qi Qingyuan's role was Yang Rui, although it was incorrect, but it still had a certain degree of reasonableness, it was the consistent style of revolutionary leaders to grasp the army's rush to kill on the front line, and the nickname of Monkey King made them have to think so.
"Good. For Zou Rong's matter, we must help secretly. Let these Qing revolutionaries make a big deal out of it, but remember not to leave any traces. Now that Great Britain and we are allies, we should not make our allies angry just because they want to incite the Qing revolutionaries. "Oda Kiri understands very well that Japan is still on the verge of a fire pit, and if there is no victory in the naval battle, it will still fall into the abyss. When the time comes, once Britain sees death and does not save it, then the end of Japan has come. "Also, Fujino, you have to go and meet him too."
As soon as he said that he would not come forward completely, and he said that he was going to see Fujino, the assistant looked at Oda Kiri with some strange eyes. Oda Che said: "If Zou Rong was not poisoned, then let our people build yΓ¬ These revolutionaries do not prosecute, and only publicize in the newspapers that Zou Rong was poisoned by the Qing government; If he was really poisoned, then it was even more important to meet Fujino, and at the critical time, let him put the name of the empire first, not to completely intervene in this matter, and to return to China when it was time to return home. β
"Hay." The assistant finally understood what Oda Kiri meant. He was actually afraid that the Japanese doctors would annoy the British by testifying in court. "I will do what Your Excellency wants." So he went out.
Qingming is early, and it is already Gu Yu. The weather is sunny and rainy, hot and cold, people don't know how to dress. In the narrow room, Wang Xiaoxu was discussing Zou Rong's matter with Cai Yuanpei. Neither of them spoke about this matter, only Cai Yuanpei was looking through the test report and related photos issued by the Japanese Fujino, according to the above. Zou Rong was poisoned. After reading all the reports, Cai Yuanpei's face was full of anger, "People are full of stupidity and greed, who would have thought that they would be so despicable and vicious, we must seek justice for Wei Dan!" β
"It's to get justice!" Wang Xiaoxu said. "Jing Cheng, Binglin, Zixun, as well as Mr. Xian Feng and Mr. Hua Feng, who are far away in Europe, all mean this. It's just that Mr. Hua Feng is worried and advises us to be careful. Take care of yourself. I think what Mr. Hua Feng said is very reasonable, as long as this matter is big, then the hearts of people can find out those who are our people and those who are not me. That's not a good thing. β
"Someone with a heart?" Cai Yuanpei changed his former peace after Su reported the case, and was determined to fight to the death with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is how the assassination group he organized in history came about, but now he has joined the Fuxing Society, and there are many things in charge of the Education Association, which makes it not so extreme. But in the end, he is resentful, and now he can't calm down in the face of Zou Rong's affairs, he just wants to make a big fuss.
"Yes. The Japanese have been investigating us. Wang Xiaoxu said softly, "Even, most of Zou Rong's "Revolutionary Army" was also written by the Japanese, or the Japanese helped him make it. β
Wang Xiaoxu's words suddenly made Cai Yuanpei jump in shock, and he pointed at Wang Xiaoxu speechless, "You...... What are you...... You ......"
Wang Xiaoxu's face was calm, not caring about his surprise, "That's true!" Binglin has already informed me of the details of their book publication at Datong Bookstore. All the bookstores refused to print this anti-Qing book before, and then Zou Rong's former classmates in the East Asia Tongwen Academy introduced him to Datong Bookstore, and the price was very low when it was printed...... Seeing that Cai Yuanpei still didn't believe it, Wang Xiaoxu said: "I'm not saying that Wei Dan is a Japanese spy, but that he was taken advantage of by the Japanese because he was young and rebellious." In 19o2, when he went to Tokyo at his own expense to study Japanese, he was at the East Asian Tongbun School, where he learned Japanese, but he was taught things such as the Theory of the Civil Covenant, the history of the French Revolution, and the independence of the United States......
"It's normal to learn this, Japan came into contact with the West earlier than China, and there is nothing wrong with having these books in the academy" Wang Xiaoxu was interrupted by Cai Yuanpei before he finished speaking, he still couldn't accept Zou Rong'......s view that he was being used by the Japanese.
"But these are all ** in Japan!" Wang Xiaoxu also interrupted Cai Yuanpei in a word, he infiltrated the "Firefly" of the East Asia Tongwen College through guΓ², and learned about Japan's layout and penetration in China, plus Yang Rui's affairs in the Northeast, he has now talked a little about Japan and changed color. "Japan is now an emperor system, and it is said that the Diet is opened, but it is still a ** form of government, and this kind of writings that attack the country's political system are not allowed to be disseminated, and those in power will not let Japanese students learn the theory of civil covenant to demand reform in Japan."
In the face of iron-clad facts, Cai Yuanpei, a revolutionary who yearns for democracy and revolution, was silent, not because he didn't believe it, but because he couldn't accept it. He even wondered how much of what he already thought was a matter of course in his mind was deliberately instilled by the Japanese, and what was even more terrifying. He thought of the new textbooks for new learning compiled by the Commercial Press, which were all after the Commercial Press had made a joint venture with the Japanese. Copying Japanese textbooks and writing them under the construction of the Japanese, when he thought that not only the schools of the Education Association, but also the schools of the whole of China would use these textbooks, he suddenly couldn't sit still, and he said: "I want to go to the printing house!" β
"You!" Wang Xiaoxu didn't know why he was so abnormal, and said, "The matter hasn't been discussed yet." β
Cai Yuanpei looked anxious and said, "Xiao Xu." It's a big deal, hey! I ......"
"Just say whatever you want." Wang Xiaoxu said, he saw that Cai Yuanpei was still very anxious and couldn't sit still.
"What the hell is going on with you,?" Wang Xiaoxu was careful, feeling that he was not anxious because of Zou Rong's matter, but because of another reason.
Seeing Wang Xiaoxu stopping himself. Cai Yuanpei sat on the stool and said, "There may be problems with the textbooks compiled before. β
"Textbooks?" Wang Xiaoxu was still puzzled, he did not fully understand the internal affairs of the Education Association.
"It is a new textbook, the schools under the Education Association need new textbooks, and the government-run and private schools in various places also need new textbooks. But it's because time is urgent. We have to refer to Japanese elementary school textbooks for many things. In addition, there were many suggestions from Japanese consultants. That's why I'm worried that there is a lot of content in this textbook that the Japanese have deliberately arranged. β
"There's no urgency." Wang Xiaoxu said, "As long as the textbook is not lowered, it is fine, even if it is focused on when the next lecture is made, it is fine." Now our problem is not to expose the strength of the Revival Society in Shanghai, which will be very dangerous if it is detected by the Japanese. Especially the youth league in the education club, you have to hold a meeting for them. Let them not get involved during the Zou Rong case. β
"It's probably hard to do." Cai Yuanpei said: "There are many newspapers in Shanghai, and once they are prosecuted, it is impossible for students not to know about it. β
"It's not about not letting them know, it's about not letting them make trouble, or not letting them make trouble in the first place. Youth League members should abide by the discipline of the meeting, and even if they want to make trouble, they must wait for other schools to make trouble. Education will have so much to do with it, and it is often said that there can be no money, but there can be no one. Once you come out too early to make trouble, it will not be good for the exhibition after the education meeting. Bear with you, people. Wang Xiaoxu spoke bitterly, for fear that he would be confused when he was excited.
"I see." Cai Yuanpei nodded heavily. "When I go back, I'll go to the Youth League for a meeting and carry it out."
After talking to Cai Yuanpei, the two left one after another, Cai Yuanpei left first, and Wang Xiaoxu left through the back door after he left. The more and more in-depth understanding of the underground world, Wang Xiao Xu became more cautious, in order to prevent others from following him, he changed his clothes and hats every time he met with important people, and then moved around under the cover of several people dressed in the same clothes.
The rickshaw ran around in the concession, and after several rushes, Wang Xiaoxu entered an alley on the side of the Hongkou American Concession, and after getting off the car, he entered the courtyard, and Liu Yazi and Wang Xiaolin, who were in charge of the propaganda work of the Revival Association, were already waiting. Wang Xiaolin is a student of the management training course, the year before last Su reported the public opinion is he responsible for creating, and Liu Yazi is from Nanyang College dropped out of school and then entered the special class student of the Patriotic Society, because of the weak body, myopia, so he only stayed in Shanghai director, last year after the China Times came to Shanghai, with excellent literary talent he became the editor of the newspaper, this time the two received Wang Xiaoxu's notice to come to the secret meeting, for a while did not understand what to do.
"Let's go inside and talk about it." Wang Xiaoxu took off the round hat on his head and said to the two people in the courtyard. Everyone sat down, and Wang Xiaoxu said: "Today, Dr. Fujino, who came from Japan, has examined Wei Dan's body and proved that he was killed. β
As soon as Wang Xiaoxu's voice fell, Liu Yazi stood up, and Wang Xiaoxu saw him like this, so he said, "Sit down." It's useless to stand up, people can't bear to come back to life. If we want you to come today, we will file a lawsuit against the patrol house tomorrow, and the newspapers must follow closely and stir up public opinion. β
Hearing Wang Xiaoxu say this, Wang Xiaolin next to him said: "Sir, what kind of rhythm is good?" Is it a large-scale rollout, or is it just a small-scale publicity? β
"First small-scale publicity," he said to Liu Yazi: "Your side is responsible for writing the manuscript of the early propaganda, you should have several more styles, choose different sides to depict this matter, and don't let people see that these are deliberately done by someone." In addition, it is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that the China Times should not rush to the forefront, that is, the literary rhetoric should also be more restrained. At most, let's let a few other tabloids come out first. After speaking, Liu Yazi Wang Xiaoxu said to Wang Xiaolin again: "You also have to inform our newspapers all over the country, and the anti-Qing tone should not be too high." Present the facts! β
Liu Yazi and Wang Xiaoxu both nodded, and Wang Xiaoxu said: "Sir, then it's better to spend some money in this case, many newspapers can buy layouts." In addition to the German New Newspaper and the Japanese Shanghai Daily, others such as Beihuajie Bao (later changed to Zilinxi Daily), Wen Wei Po, and Sino-French Xinhui Bao, because the editors are also foreigners, it is still a little difficult to control. β
Wang Xiaoxu still does not have a deep understanding of newspapers. "What about declarations and newspapers?" he asked. β
"The relationship between the declaration editors is already very familiar with the first few times, the news newspaper is run by the beauty Fu Kaisen, this person is the general office of Nanyang College, last time he proposed the extradition of Zhang Zou and others, and the royalist Times, these two positions are completely on the side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult for his newspaper. As for the Universal Gazette and the Zilin Shanghai Daily, there should be no problem, and the Foreign Affairs Newspaper and the Oriental Magazine are run by the Commercial Press, and there is no problem at all with these two. "The longer Wang Xiaolin has been in Shanghai, the more he understands what news is in what newspaper and what position he holds.
"That means that the Chinese-language newspapers are the news of Fu Kaisen and the royalist Times will help the Manchus speak?"
"Not necessarily, the declaration was also investigated by Meirenmei. If it really makes a big fuss, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to be neutral, even if he does not stand on the side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he will not help us speak, and then we can only rely on the China Times as our Adam's apple. The Press also has a lot of readers of Oriental magazines. But he's a magazine after all, so ......"
"Sir. As long as we publicize the students, they will be the main force of public opinion, and these students will come out and make a fuss in the streets, then the more things will get bigger and bigger. Next to Liu Yazi said.
"Students are going to make trouble, but it's best to start from other schools, the schools under the Education Association should be stable first, and if you want to make trouble, let the Cantonese dialect school of the Manufacturing Bureau make trouble first." Wang Xiaoxu knows that students, traders, and citizens will be the main force of trouble, among which students are the most likely to be enthusiastic, and if the vendors increase their donations, they will also make trouble.
After Wang Xiaoxu finished speaking, he asked Wang Xiaolin: "Except for the news newspaper and the Times, can the three companies of the declaration, the universal communiquΓ©, and the Zilin Shanghai newspaper buy it?" β
"The Universal Gazette and the Zilin Shanghai Newspaper are fine, but it is difficult to declare, at most the editors of TongguΓ² try to stand on our side, and do not completely fall to the side of the Manchus. Or, it should be okay for him to stand in a neutral point of view from now on, but I'm afraid that the Manchus will say something to Fu Kaisen, and then what Fu Kaisen will say to the boss of the declaration, Mei Cha, this Mei Cha is just a businessman, it doesn't matter whether he stands or not, he is very likely to stand on the side of the Manchus in the end for his own business. β
"Hmm...... What about other places outside of Shanghai? As far as the Chinese newspaper is concerned, the declaration of the American businessman Mei Cha, the news newspaper of the Manchu lackey American Fu Kaisen, and the China Times of the Revival Society are all big newspapers in Shanghai, and the daily sales are more than 15,000 copies.
"There are two influential newspapers in other places, Tianjin Ta Kung Pao and Beijing and Tianjin Times Chinese editions, Hankou is Han Bao, Beijing is Beijing Daily and Shuntian Times, Guangdong is Hong Kong Huazi Daily and Yangcheng Daily, and Guanwai is our Northeast Daily. Of the above, the Beijing-Tianjin Times is controlled by the British, the Han Bao and the Shuntian Times are run by the Japanese, and the others are all Chinese newspapers, so it is not difficult to speak from our side. Even the Yangcheng Daily in Guangzhou is also run by the royalists, and when they denounce the patrol house in the early stage, they will be on our side, and then they will denounce the Manchus, and it is estimated that they will help the Manchus speak. β
"In this way, it seems that Hankow depends on the attitude of the Japanese." The whole country has come around, and Hankou is the weak point, after all, the Han newspaper has been running for a long time and has more influence in the local area.
"Yes. Our newspaper over there has only just been in business, so it has a lot less influence. Wang Xiaolin said.
"Since there are newspapers, it's good that the Japanese will not support the front denunciation of the patrol room, but when they denounce the Manchus in the back, they will probably stand on our side. Let's start first, tomorrow those tabloids will copy up the matter first, and the China Times will report on it in a day, and the position should not be too biased, and the most important thing is to guide public opinion. I'll keep you informed of any other changes. Wang Xiaoxu was still afraid that the young man would not be able to hold his breath, so he warned again.
"Okay. Mr. Liu Yazi said.
The evidence, the plaintiff, public opinion, the education association, and Wu Baochu's lawyer seemed to be ready for everything, but Wang Xiaoxu was a little uneasy, and after returning to Wan'anli with makeup, he sat in the dark room and was still thinking about what would happen after tomorrow. The case reported by Su the year before last can be regarded as a rehearsal for the revival to guide public opinion, and it is to use foreigners to fight against the Manchus, and this time Zou Rong's case, at the beginning, was completely aimed at the patrol house of foreigners, which is really incomparable with the previous time, and the more so, the more cautious we must be in handling things. Under the bright kerosene lamp, Wang Xiaoxu thought for a long time, and then began to write telegrams. He wanted to transfer back the troops of Zhu Luzhan and Wang Jigao, who were sent to the northeast to participate in the revival army last year, and after the two of them disbanded the Pingyang Party and the Wudai Party in their hometown last year, the remaining more than 200 backbone cadres went to the northeast, and the year's war made this army more and more capable, and now that the Russo-Japanese war is over, it can be completely transferred back, especially because the concession does not allow the Chinese to stop the coffin, Zou Rong's body is placed in the Siming Mansion, and it is still necessary to send people to protect it.
