"Good! As long as you can convince Master Cheng to agree to the revolution, that brother will never break his word. Fang Shengtao was slightly stunned and then readily agreed. In fact, Cheng Biguang's work has already been done again, but although he is also a Fujian person, he doesn't dare to make nonsense, so he can only promise to send Du Xiqi away in the end.

When Fang Shengtao sent Du Xiqi away, Cheng Biguang in Nanjing was meeting an old friend. Several groups of people sent by Sun Wen were sent away by him before, but this person who came today, he must not be closed - when the soldiers reported the name 'Yulie', his whole person was like being hit by something, and he staggered out to greet the guests in person.

"Brother Hengqi......" Yu Lie, who was dressed in a melon skin hat and sheepskin jacket, looked at Cheng Biguang, who was a little excited, and spoke first without waiting for him to speak. Haha, I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Hengqi is fine! ”

"Ling Ji ......" In a trance, Cheng Biguang still shouted, and then looked at his whole body carefully, and finally said: "It's really you, it's really you!" I'm afraid I haven't seen each other in 16 years! ”

"yes!" Before Yu Lie came, he knew that Cheng Biguang would talk about the past sixteen years ago, when everyone was still a hot-blooded young man, but now there are a lot of gray hairs between the two of them. "It was sixteen years and six months, think about the ...... Hey, it would be nice if Hengdun and Incense Offering Incense were there......"

Yu Lie thought of those brothers who were long gone, and his expression couldn't help but become sad, in the year of Yiwei (1895), the Xingzhong Society raised righteousness, and his own affairs were not secret, and many comrades were killed after the incident was leaked, Lu Haodong and Cheng Biguang's brother Cheng Kuiguang were one of them. In addition, Cheng Biguang is familiar with Yang Heling's father-in-law, Cheng Yaochen, these people are the backbone of the Sun Xingzhong Association that he developed in Guangya Bookstore outside Guangzhou. After the failure of the uprising, Cheng Yaochen was imprisoned and died of illness. Cheng Kuiguang was fined 600 military sticks in the military camp and was beaten to death, while Cheng Biguang escaped from Guangzhou with his help and went to Nanyang.

Although people lived, after this time, Cheng Biguang no longer wanted to do revolutionary work, and waited for Li Hongzhang to go to Europe and pass by Nanyang the following year. He asked to see Li Hongzhang as an old man from Beiyang, and after informing him of the reason, he remembered that he was an officer on the battleship of the First Sino-Japanese Sea, and at the same time, Li Hongzhang, who had fallen into the army, vouched for him. This helped him clear his identity as a revolutionary party and was able to re-enter the water division, and after more than ten years, he actually survived to the post of patrol commander. It's really edification.

That is, the commander. That subordinate must have soldiers and artillery, which was a great help to the revolution, but Cheng Biguang thought that Sun Wen who sat in Guangzhou in the past and said that the righteousness was foolproof, and he was talking about the sky, but after the righteousness was released, he fled for his life alone, ignoring the rest at all, and he held a grudge in his heart, especially the tragic death of his brother. Let him engrave it in his heart, because he has always ignored Sun Wen's aggressiveness. Now Yu Lie doesn't mention Cheng Kuiguang, it's okay. As soon as he mentioned the dissatisfaction in his heart, he said angrily: "Sun Yat-sen still wants to make a revolution and come to revolution, and then if it doesn't work out, a large group of people will die, but he will die in the world?" ”

"Hengqi, will you still be unable to let go of what happened back then?" Yu Lie looked at Cheng Biguang's expression, very helpless, he thought that Cheng Biguang would be polite to him first before cutting things to the point, and he didn't want his dissatisfaction with Sun Wen to be forgotten for more than ten years.

"I've long forgotten what happened before. It's just that there are still people who can't forget me. Cheng Biguang took care of the somewhat wrinkled military uniform, he cherished the current qiē, those opium ghosts and straw bales in the Fujian system were about to be cleaned up, and not only did he not smoke opium, but his knowledge and experience were also first-class, which was really a great thing. Others thought that Yang Jingcheng did not attach importance to the navy and only to the army, but when he saw the General Staff of the People's Republic of China purging the navy so vigorously, he could completely feel how much the man in power in Beijing valued the navy.

Oh, yes! From the departure of the British Admiral Lang Weili in a bad mood, the navy has rotted in the bones by now. If it is not ruthless and thoroughly rectified, even if it buys a big ship and expands the scale in the future, how is it different from the original Beiyang? Therefore, he was bent on cooperating with the American deputy commander, and he believed that he would eventually come out on top among this group of captains. It's just that he never expected that the matter of the Xingzhonghui in his early years was deliberately publicized, and it was also publicized by the Fujian people, so how could Du Xiqi know about this matter? In this way, you can know who did it with your toes.

Cheng Biguang thought about Sun Wen's everything, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, but after all, he was in his fifties, and he still endured his anger heavily. This is the case on his side, but Yu Lie saw it clearly, and said when he saw this: "Hengqi, Yixian can't help himself in many things!" For the ...... of the revolution"

"Hey! Ling Ji, as if no matter what he did wrong, as long as he said that it was for the revolution, he could be irresponsible. Before Yu Lie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Cheng Biguang, "How can Sun Wen not be revolutionary?" ”

"Hengqi, you don't know Yixian's temper, as long as China does not achieve a republic, he will not stop for a day, as long as there is an emperor in China, he will always want revolution." Yu Lie shook his head and said, Sun Wen is so single-minded about the revolution, he is both helpless and admired.

"It's just his delusion." Cheng Biguang was not moved by Sun Wen's revolution, but was very disdainful. "In the final analysis, he just wants him to unify China, and he just wants him to be the president of the republic. Ling Ji, you are not an unreasonable person, why do you still believe in him? The emperor is just a symbol, and he is simply kept in the Forbidden City as an ornament to scare the people. Europe, the United States, and Japan all believe that China does not yet have the foundation of a republic, and only the current constitutional monarchy is the most suitable for the current China, and domestic public opinion also believes that some people still think that Yang Jingcheng has lost all the rights of the emperor......

Cheng Biguang's statement completely disappointed Yu Lie, and he said: "Of course Yang Jingcheng will lose all the emperor's rights, otherwise how can he become the new emperor?" Brother Hengqi, don't think that it is necessary to have the title of emperor, and it is the emperor who is called long live. Eighty percent of the parliament is a member of the Revival Association, and Yang Jingcheng is now the emperor of China, not only does he want to be the emperor, but also pulls out the former Ming clan that has been dead for hundreds of years, and what he does is simply a historical regression. Not only did he regress, but he was even more traitorous than the Manchurians. Some time ago, the leak case of the Mining Division, what kind of leak is that, it is simply that he sold the mining rights. It's just to curry favor with Britain and the United States. ”

"Is the continuous revolution the progress of history, or is Sun Wen the president the progress of history?" Yu Lie is a newspaper operator, and Cheng Bi can't just talk about him, what he can rely on is more than ten years of experience.

"Brother Hengqi, you misunderstand Yixian so much, it's not that you are greedy for this official position." Yu Lie saw that Cheng Biguang became more and more excited, and couldn't help but ask in detail. "Yang Jingcheng has now even sold his navy to the United States, the commander of the Chinese fleet, and the foreigners. What a joke. ”

"Are the chiefs of staff of the General Staff still Germans?" Cheng Biguang asked rhetorically: "Without him, can we stop the Japanese in the Northeast?" Even if it can be blocked, it will cost a lot more. Inviting foreigners to China is betraying the country, so moving foreigners' things to China is not betraying the country? How can this be true? Season. If you come to persuade me to oppose Yang Jingcheng. Then please go back. I, Cheng Biguang, are greedy for power and power, and I will never go to Sun Wen's revolution. ”

Cheng Biguang gave the eviction order so recklessly, but Yu Lie didn't dare to say it again, and the rest of the time could only be to catch up with Cheng Biguang, talk about the encounters and changes between the two sides in the past ten years, and after some politeness, he left the next day. Just wait for the news that can't convince Cheng Biguang to get out, somewhere in the Haiqi ship......

"Comrades. Cheng Biguang has been bought by Yang Jingcheng's traitorous government! Li Jing, a young intern, said. In spite of Mr. Nakayama's repeated persuasions, he was bent on becoming an enemy of the revolution, and this is something we will never accept! Comrades, the Chinese Revolutionary Party represents the requirements for the development of advanced productive forces! Representing the way forward of advanced culture!! Representing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people!! If we want to save China, we must overthrow this government that worships foreigners and flatter foreigners, and thoroughly realize Mr. Zhongshan's ideal of establishing a republic and equal land rights, so that our country and this nation can stand tall among the nations of the world......"

Li Jing said a lot, only the other interns said that the hard work was hot. Some time ago, when the Navy boycotted the Americans, although he was pulled out by Cheng Biguang, for the sake of his youth and fellow countrymen, Cheng Biguang only persuaded him gently, and then did not punish him. Cheng Biguang thought of his own confused past, so he opened his net to it, but Li Jing did not reflect at all, but stepped up his time to develop the organization on the ship, with his efforts, the interns on the ship have been inclined to revolution, some of these people really think that the revolution is beneficial to the country, but more people understand that the revolution is the upper position, those captains are not all because they support the revolution to become captains, if you really want to be serious about your qualifications, then you really don't know how long it will take to become a ship.

After Li Jing finished agitating, He Hanlan asked, "Ah Jing, you say, what can we do to support the revolution?" ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Hongyi and Wu Zili also asked: "Yes, did the party tell us what to do?" Is it to take a big step to overthrow Yang Jingcheng and bring down the Dog Emperor? ”

"Comrades! Don't be in a hurry. Li Jing was very happy to see that everyone was agitated, and said, "Mr. Zhongshan wants us to be patient and wait for the party's orders. At this time, everyone must pay attention to confidentiality, but don't forget it, Yang Jingcheng has two factories, these nasty lackeys are everywhere, we will fall into their trap if we are not careful, comrades, keep it secret! When the party needs us, it will notify us. What we have to do is always be ready! ”

The Security Bureau is responsible for the domestic and the Intelligence Bureau is responsible for the foreign country, and although this kind of thing is not published in the newspapers, people who know a little bit about the division of labor still know it. It is precisely because of this, coupled with the history of the Ming Dynasty itself, that some people jokingly refer to the security bureau in charge of the country as the East Factory, the intelligence bureau in charge of foreign countries as the West Factory, and the investigators of the Inspectorate who investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials are nicknamed Jinyiwei. These were originally jokingly predicated, the Security Bureau and the Metropolitan Procuratorate both had to act in accordance with domestic laws, while the Intelligence Bureau was in charge of foreign countries, and it was not China that was dealing with them, so it didn't matter whether the law was legal or not.

Despite this, some people still borrow this kind of joking name, saying that the revival will be engaged in spy politics, which is extremely popular among the opposition, that is, the gentry, as long as the league says that revival will be bad, no matter who said it, anyway, it will be used anyway, and it will become a common word in their mouths.

When Li Jing was talking about being careful of the lackeys of the East and West Factories, Liu Boyuan, the commander of the East Factory, was reporting to Yang Rui about the changes in the Nanjing Navy. "Sir, the Confederate members are already active in the navy, and they carry a large number of cash checks. In the bribing of various captains. According to our investigations, the purpose of their bribery was to persuade the captains to do so, but the timing of the rebellion was undecided. Do we need to start ahead of time and save time to be passive? ”

"Finally, I couldn't help it." Yang Rui sighed, "Have you found out the specific plan for righteousness?" ”

"Nope." Liu Boyuan shook his head and said, "We only know that Fang Shengtao, the liaison person of the Alliance, wants those captains to wait for news, but when will there be news." I don't know. ”

"Then keep an eye on it." Yang Rui commanded. "And now that the members of the National Assembly have arrived in Beijing, they will worship the heavens tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes in the capital!"

"I understand. It's all arranged. The people who should be stared at are also stared, and there will be no mess! Liu Boyuan nodded heavily, he fully knew the importance of these few days. After more than half a year of preparation, the congress is finally about to meet. What is the founding of the country? This is the founding of the country! According to the previously agreed ceremony, it is. The members of the National Assembly and the civil and military officials will follow Zhu Kuanji tomorrow to tell the heavens, sacrifice the earth, and worship ghosts, and then make some other ceremonies, so that the founding of the country and the convening of the National Assembly can be announced. This is a strange thing that Zhang Taiyan of the Ministry of Rites came up with, but although it is weird, it is also recognized by everyone.

"Sir, that's it...... It was we who found out that Fang Junying of the Alliance came to the capital yesterday. "After talking about the previous things. Liu Boyuan hurriedly reported the matter again.

"Oh......" Yang Rui was a little surprised, Fang Junying had partnered with Cheng Ying before. After Cheng Ying left the Alliance, she became a lone ranger, with her semi-self-taught sniper gun skills, and she also intimidated the pro-royalist overseas Chinese when she was in Nanyang. He frowned and asked, "What did she come for, did she go to see ......?" ”

"She didn't see Madame." Liu Boyuan said. "It's very secretive, and it's only a mission in the embassy, and we suspect that she was sent by Sun Wen to carry out the assassination mission. As for...... As for the target of the assassination, we deduce that if it is not Mr., it is Zhu Kuanji. ”

"Hmm!" After Liu Boyuan finished speaking, Yang Rui was not surprised at all, he could guess what those people in the Alliance would do and what they could do. "Is there a problem on Song Jiaoren's side?"

"Song Jiaoren?" Liu Boyuan said strangely, he didn't understand why Yang Rui was always concerned about Song Jiaoren's safety, "Sir, his side is safe, and our people are taking care of it, so there is no problem at all." He is also an old man of the Alliance, Huang Xing has a good relationship with him, although he and Sun Wenzheng disagree, they will not kill their own people, right? ”

"Hard to say!" Yang Rui said, "Kill Song Jiaoren, and then beat a rake, saying that we killed it, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" Not only did it clear the opposition from the meeting, but it also knocked us down to eighteen layers of hell. Once he dies in the capital, who of us can tell? Song Jiaoren's side still has to be careful. Even if something happens, the murderer must be captured alive, so as not to save us from being framed. ”

"Understood, sir." Although Liu Boyuan was very puzzled by Yang Rui being so careful with Song Jiaoren, he still received the order, and then he asked, "Sir, how should Fang Junying's side be handled?" ”

"What to do?" Yang Rui's voice was not good, "If she dares to shoot in the capital, then kill her!" ”

Yang Rui finished killing Fang Junying after ordering here, and when he returned to the apartment in the backyard of the palace, Fang Junying was chatting with Cheng Ying at his house. Looking at Yang Rui, who was a little puzzled, Fang Junying got up generously and smiled, "Don't you know Junying?" ”

She said this, Yang Rui was not good at refusing people thousands of miles away, so he only went back to the house alone after being polite. Since Fang Junying came to her house, then she said that she was not an assassin of the Alliance, after all, an assassin would not be so ostentatious, but it was not her, so who would Chen Qimei arrange? And how did he arrange it? Is it to assassinate himself, assassinate Zhu Kuanji, assassinate Song Jiaoren? Which one are these going to play?

Yang Rui couldn't figure out the arrangement of the people in the alliance, but no matter how he figured it out, the second day of the sacrifice must start as usual, according to the previous founding of the new dynasty, the emperor was to ascend the throne first, and if the emperor ascended the throne, then he had to persuade first, not once or twice, but three times, and the emperor retreated three times, and then he squirmed and ascended the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang of the former Ming Dynasty only persuaded him once and he agreed, and it was not as troublesome as three times at all, and now Zhu Kuanjiong is because of Yang Rui's advice in the past, he persuaded seven or eight times but it was not possible, and in the end he couldn't, as long as the Ministry of Rites lowered the regulations by one level, first opened the country and then said, anyway, I don't worry about what empire or kingdom it is, anyway, there is no such thing on the country name.

"Did you see Yang actually become?" Fang Junying said goodbye to Cheng Ying and returned to the inn in the envoy area, as soon as he entered the door, Cheng Jiaqi came out, his sudden voice only startled Fang Junying, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time.

"See." Fang Junying said, "What, are you careful that Cheng Ying and I have an old relationship, and we can't do it tomorrow?" ”

"Where." Cheng Jiaqi said, "Runru has lived and died several times for the revolution, how can I not trust you!" ”

"It's good to know!" Fang Junying raised her eyebrows, "Did the gun come?" ”

"Oh, guns?" Cheng Jiaqi hurriedly said, "I have been ready for a long time, and I just sent it." He turned around and picked up a wooden box and handed it to Fang Junying. Unlike ordinary rifles, this gun is very exquisitely made, the butt after the bolt is folded, and the barrel used is the barrel of a carbine, and the length of the whole rifle is less than two feet.

The folded butt was thought up by Fang Junying herself, but it is very similar to the defense gun of the Fuxing Society, but the sniper of the Fuxing Society uses a Swedish Mauser 96 rifle, which is an all-steel gun, which is very accurate, and this gun is obviously a Japanese golden hook rifle, but after she fiddled for a while, she put it down and said: "It's also a good gun!" Has the gun school passed? ”

"School passed! Takeda ...... They say it's a gun school. The bullet is also specially made and absolutely accurate, "When Fang Junying was shooting just now, Cheng Jiaqi only felt another strong murderous aura, and then suddenly asked by her, and couldn't help but say what he shouldn't say.

"It's good to pass the school!" Fang Junying said calmly, "But with this kind of golden hook rifle, the Japanese are not worried that if the assassination fails, they will be involved?" ”

Hearing Fang Junying say that the Japanese would be involved, Cheng Jiatian looked stunned, and then said with a dry smile: "There are so many golden hook rifles in the world, it can't be said that because it is a Japanese gun, this thing was planned by Japan." ”

Things seemed to be getting more and more chaotic, and when Cheng Jiaqi secretly scolded himself, Fang Junying suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just asking, I don't have anything else to do." I only hope that those who come after will remember those of us who died for the revolution. ”

The gun is a Japanese gun, or was it sent by the Japanese, even if Fang Junying is stupid, she understands that this matter has something to do with the Japanese. Although she did not approve of this, the fission of the League after the revolution, the suppression of the Fuxing Association, and the Hangzhou case that was obviously framed only made her very confused, she really didn't understand why the same revolutionary party was for this country and the nation, why couldn't the two organizations have brotherhood and build this country together?

In this regard, Mr. Zhongshan's statement is because Yang Jingcheng wants to be dictatorial for a while, and the victory of the Fuxing Society in the general election is proof of this, and the establishment of the emperor is the clear proof, and the trial of Wu Yangzeng and Zhang Hongzhao in the case of leaking secrets is clear proof. Fang Junying was skeptical, but when she saw Cheng Ying today, she suddenly felt that it was true. The current Yang Jingcheng is no longer the Yang Jingcheng of the past, although Cheng Ying is now brightly dressed and smiling like a flower, but she can see the sadness between her eyebrows, and she doesn't know how there is a second lady at home, maybe a man will become bad if he has power.

"Of course! Of course! Cheng Jiaqi nodded and said. When he was about to say a few more words of comfort, Fang Junying went out with the suitcase, just waiting for the door to slam shut, he wiped a handful of sweat and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and finally sent the female plague god away.

After relieving himself in the room, Cheng Jiaqi hurriedly walked out of the inn and went to the telegraph office, he did not estimate the spies in the East Factory behind him, only wrote the words 'West Wind and Rain' on the telegram, and handed it over to the telegraph after payment. (To be continued......)
