As the British minister Zhu Erdian had predicted, he did not convince the representative of the Japanese negotiating delegation, Hikoyoshi Ijiin, and even if he revealed the top-secret information from MI5 that China had secretly built a large number of submarines in Germany, probably close to 100 of them, it would not have any effect on Hikoyoshi Ijiin, who did not believe it at all. As soon as Hikoyoshi, a former Japanese minister to the Qing Dynasty, arrived in Beijing, he was determined to break down the negotiations - he found that the dirty, disorderly, and decaying city of the past was gone, and was replaced by an efficient and tidy city that burst out with livelihoods. It's only been two years, what if it's twenty years?

Ijiin Hikoyoshi was taken aback by this idea, but he also thought that his inference was extremely correct, if China was given 20 years, then the East Asian continent would be completely out of contact with Japan, and the occupied Korea would also be recaptured by China, and Japan would be driven into the sea by the Chinese army, just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi had done more than 400 years ago.

Looking at Zhu Erdian's words, Yijiyuan Yanji suddenly asked: "Your Excellency, do you think Yang Jingcheng will be satisfied with the status quo of China after his national strength is strong?" ”

It's the first time that Ijiin Hikichi has always been polite, and it's the first time that Zhu Erdian has been interrupted in this way, but Zhu Erdian was speechless after hearing this, and Ijiin Hikoyoshi asked again: "Your Excellency, if Japan attacks China, will your country fulfill its obligations as an alliance?" ”

London only thought of guarding against war with the United States when it signed a treaty of alliance, but it never expected that the meat on the board would jump up and resist, especially when it was at its weakest. Although Zhu Erdian is a minister to China. But he did not know the strategy of London, so he had to say ambiguously: "Great Britain has never broken the tradition of the Covenant. Although I am a minister to China, this question is best answered by London. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Hikoyoshi bowed. Although Jurdian didn't give him the answer he needed, he was still polite. After saying goodbye to Zhu Erdian, he led a delegation back to Japan the next day, and 15 days later, China and Japan announced the severance of diplomatic relations.

The overcast sky suddenly blew violently, and the dark clouds dispersed, revealing only the not bright sky, and the brief light before the rain illuminated everyone's tracks, some panicked, some excited, some worried, some rejoicing; Some people fled Liaoning, hid in the concession, and some left the classroom and ran to the military station. Some people buy salt and hoard grain, close their doors and ......, and all kinds of sorrows, joys, good and evil are revealed at this time.

In contrast to the different personalities on the Chinese side, there is a lot of unity in Japan, where all the newspapers are shouting 'teach the Shina people', crowds are crowding in front of the Yasukuni Shrine, and in Tokyo's Fujimilou, the National Foreign Affairs League, the Dialogue Federation, the Ronin Association, and the Chinese Revolutionary Party, which has finally shown its face. Many industrialists and journalists were invited to hold a meeting of comrades on the support (comrade conference on China). At the meeting, in addition to the speeches of mainlandists such as Tanabe Annosuke, Wang Zhaoming of the Chinese Revolutionary Party also appeared on the stage, saying: "Today, Yang has become contrary to heaven and humanity. Ignoring the interests of the people and ignoring the advice of friends, they insist on going their own way. provoked wars, so as to arouse the public indignation of the nations. As a result, China was plunged into the tragedy of war. In view of the special relationship between China and Japan, our party believes that Yang Jingcheng's action is wrong. Categorically denounced it, and vowed to save China's 400 million lives in order to clean up the overall situation and establish the foundation of peace in East Asia! ’

Wang Zhaoming was able to speak well and speak clearly, and after his speech, he immediately applauded like thunder and cheered. And when Wang Zhaoming took the stage to give a speech, Tou Shan Man, Inu Yangyi, Furushima Kazuo, and Terao Heng were in Sun Wen's apartment, chatting with Sun Wen, Hu Hanmin, Feng Freedom, Liao Zhongkai and others.

"Sun Jun, the interception of your ship by our navy was actually forced by the thieves of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be forced by the whites, not to sink them, nor to provoke a war. Today, the Yang family is eternal, and it is bewitched by the rice country, and it is bent on provoking a war, which is really the pain of the yellow race and the speed of the white race. Inu Yangyi opened his mouth to characterize the matter as a race dispute, which is really sophistry.

"Your government should have opposed Yang's rule in the first place!" Sun Wen had long hoped for the breakdown of Sino-Japanese negotiations, but the matter was still a foregone conclusion. "This person is a lone man and a thief, manipulating the parliament like a plaything, stealing people's wealth like a thief, such a vicious act, but no one resists.

We are supposed to be a republic, and the idea of a republic is equality, freedom, and fraternity. But what have we seen in China in the past two years? The Revival sees righteousness as dung, and the people are still enslaved! But even so, the tyrannical people are extremely obedient to this, because I often say that the Chinese are all waste, and I am the only one! I am the savior of China, who do you not support? ”

Sun Wen has been stimulated by grievances in the past two years, and he is wanted by the Dali Temple in China for murder, and his people and things have been reported in the newspapers, especially after the Sino-Japanese naval battle in the East China Sea, when he heard that he was still living in Japan to take refuge in the Japanese invaders, and the young students who did not believe in the government's words also began to believe that he was a Japanese traitor! A national thief! The Chinese Revolutionary Party, which had been divided within the Party because of Huang Xing's opposition, was now stimulated by the naval battle in the East China Sea, and most of the party members have dissipated, and now there are only some backbones left around him. With such internal and external difficulties and suffering day and night, his rhetoric became more and more intense, and the words of 'I am the only one who is proud of China' are often said in anger.

Fortunately, Toushanman, Inu Yangyi and others already knew his sitting position, and they were not only displeased when they heard the words, but they were happy, and Toushan Man said: "Sun Jun's ambition should be like a bird." Without you, China will always be in the darkness of autocracy. Now that the war between China and Japan is imminent, Sun Jun and all the heroes are in a good position to make great progress, and we have persuaded the government to provide your party with a loan of 2 million to make a strong move. ”

"Two million yen is too little, at least 20 million yen, this is only the first phase, if you want to overthrow the Yang family, even if there is a Sino-Japanese war, 50 million yen is not enough. Dog breeder, although your country has helped in the first few times, but the amount is very small, I knew today, why bother in the first place. The situation has been decided, Sun Wen is not in a hurry at all, he doesn't want to squeeze the toothpaste like before.

It seemed that he had known that Sun Wen would behave like this, and after Toushan Man and Dog Yangyi looked at each other, he said, "There are many people in your country who oppose the Yang family. In addition to the Manchu Sect Socialist Party, the Furen Literary Society in Liangguang is now also at odds with the Yang Clan......"

Toushan is full of these words. The party members in the room were shocked when they heard it, and Sun Wen half-got up and said, "Is this true?!" It's true?! ”

"Sun Jun. Huang Shizhongjun, the leader of the Furen Literary Society, has already decided to oppose Yang, and his personal representative arrived in Tokyo yesterday and will meet Sun Jun in two days. After Toushan Man finished speaking, Inu Yangyi was afraid that Sun Wen and others would be puzzled, and said: "The recovery of the two Guangxi is really the work of the Furen Literary Society, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Revival Society does not treat it as special as it does for Zhili and Yunnan, and the Liangguang and the other provinces of the Furen Society are no different, and the Yang family also wanted to merge with the Furen Cultural Society last year." As a result, the princes of the Furen Literary Society were very unhappy. At the end of last year, there was another incident between the local garrison and the national tax police, and now that the war between China and Japan is imminent, they want to be like Gengzi Southeast Mutual Insurance, separating from the central government and becoming autonomous. ”

There are many contradictions between the two Guangxi and Beijing, and the most fundamental of them is the contradiction between centralization and local autonomy. Under the tacit understanding of the high-level leaders of the Renaissance Society and the Furen Literary Society, this contradiction gradually became larger, so that the Renaissance Society began to worry about the rebellion of the Liangguang Society. Now that war between China and Japan was imminent, Huang Shizhong immediately began to operate according to the previous plan. Because of years of painstaking layout, there are natural contradictions. This cannot but make the outside world believe that this is another southeast mutual guarantee.

After listening to Dog Yangyi's explanation, everyone was excited, but Sun Wen stood up and said: "Autonomy alone is not enough. Since there are two Guangzhou, then we should use the two Guangzhous as the foundation to carry out the Northern Expedition! As long as the Northern Expeditionary Army captures Hunan. Approaching Wuchang, the Yang Jingcheng government will definitely fall! ”

"Sun Jun. Huang Shizhongjun is only willing to be independent of Guangzhou, not the Northern Expedition! Inuyang Yi said. He also wanted to talk about another person at the time. was interrupted by Sun Wen. "China suffers from autocracy and dictatorship, and Huang Shizhong still wants to be in a corner of peace and be alone?! Guangdong's strong financial resources, Guangxi's courage and good fighting, the combination of the two is a good opportunity to save 40,000 compatriots, how can he... How can it be ......"

Sun Wen himself made himself excited, standing on the tatami mat so angry that he wanted to jump up, Inu Yangyi saw him like this, and said: "Sun Jun is a little safe, the Northern Expedition has another place." Your country, Mr. Liang Zhuoru, has left Beijing for Japan. ”

"What!! Liang Qichao is also here! "Everyone can accept the change of Liangguang Furen Cultural Society, but Liang Qichao's anti-Yang is beyond everyone's expectations.

"That's true." Toushan said with a smile. "In order to achieve dictatorship, Yang's monitoring of public opinion has become increasingly strict, not only has newspapers and books been published to censor, but also has come up with something called 'keyword', such as 'League, Xingzhong, Righteousness, Revolution, Democracy, Revolution' and other words are forbidden to appear in newspapers and books, even if they can appear, the printing house will only print two asterisks, in addition to the content of articles, in addition to putting an end to democratic ideas, the most outrageous thing is that after the founding of the country, animals are not allowed to cultivate into refinement."

As soon as Toushan Manchu said, 'After the founding of the country, animals are not allowed to cultivate into essence', everyone in the room laughed, which was formulated by Yang Jingcheng who was worried that the people would use superstition to provoke the people to rebel against the dictatorship.

After everyone finished laughing, Toushan Man said again: "Mr. Zhuo Ru has always advocated democratic politics, and he is at odds with Yang, and he could still write books and speak in Beijing, but public opinion accusations have intensified, especially after Yang took back the national postal right two months ago, the newspapers of your country have not dared to publish his articles. ”

"What kind of democracy does Liang Qichao still advocate? He is nothing more than a body that cannot be appreciated by his master. Hu Hanmin was a tough man and despised the fickle Liang Qichao, and it was he who advised Sun Wen not to unite with the Zongshe Party. Now listen to the Japanese touting; Liang Qichao couldn't help but ridicule each other.

"Zhantang!" Sun Wen saw that Toushan's face was full of disapproval, and he immediately stopped Hu Hanmin, who still wanted to speak. "Let's listen to Mr. Toyama first. Zhuo Ru can fight against Yang, that's the best, but Cai Songpo hasn't arrived! If he also comes, then Yunnan will be able to go on a northern expedition. ”

"Although Cai Jun has not arrived, Mr. Zhuo Ru is willing to say on his behalf, instigating Yunnan independence, Sun Jun can enter Yunnan, just after Yunnan strictly reorganized the soldiers to carry out the Northern Expedition and capture Sichuan...... "Dog Yang Yi said.

"Nope! Yunnan is too far away. Sun Wen shook his head suddenly, "Whoever wins Beijing wins the world!" This was confirmed two years ago, when the Yang clan occupied the capital in one fell swoop, which made the Manchu group ugly and leaderless, and stabilized the whole country in just two months. Now that China has experienced a revolution, the country is poor and the people are weak, and it must be quickly settled after the war. In my opinion, if the two Guangxi cannot go on a northern expedition, then start from Shandong Zhili or Fengtian. In this way, your country's army can also fund the training of our party's army. ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Wen's plan was like this, and Inu Yangyi and Tou Shanman looked at each other again. Toushan Man said: "Sun Jun, does your party still have strength in Shandong, Zhili, and Fengtian provinces?" ”

"The strength of Zhili and Fengtian is weak. But there are quite a few forces in Shandong. Sun Wen replied. Although Shandong was the sphere of influence of the Germans, the Germans north of the Yellow River could not control it. There were also quite a few party members in Fengtian, and it was best for Shandong and Fengtian to form a revolutionary army and attack Beijing around the coast of the Bohai Sea. ”

The more Sun Wen spoke, the more suspenseful he became, and Dog Yangyi hurriedly said: "Sun Jun, if you want to attack Beijing from Shandong and Manchuria, let's wait for the War Department to determine the strategy for the support before making a decision." The top priority now is to stir up domestic anti-Yang forces, and the most important thing is to make the Yang family overwhelmed and overwhelmed. Sun Jun, tomorrow, please come to No. 10, Ginza 2-chome, Kyobashi-ku. On the second floor of the Japan-Russia Trade Company, Hikuhara-kun signed a loan contract of 2 million yuan, and after signing it, please remit it to Japan immediately for activity funds. If it is not enough, we will discuss it again. ”

Japan's funding of the revolutionary parties of other countries has always been through the guò chaebol and overseas Japanese in the name of borrowing money from the praisers, and Kuhara Fangnosuke had given more than 100,000 yen earlier, and Sun Wen was familiar with this, so he agreed to it first.

Seeing Sun Wenji bowing, Tou Shanman, Dog Yangyi and several others got up and said goodbye after a while. As soon as they left, Huang Xing, Ju Zheng, Zhu Zhixin, Wu Dazhou, Bo Ziming, Li Liejun, Hu Ying and others arrived. They had come to discuss how to deal with China's crisis that day, but at the beginning of the meeting, Sun Wen was not talking about dealing with it, but about assigning tasks.

“…… Shandong Front. With Wu Dazhou as the governor, Bo Ziming as the commander-in-chief, and Li Xia as the second; Mukden aspect. With Keqiang as the governor and Juzheng as the commander-in-chief. The two armies, with the assistance of the Japanese army, will attack Beijing. As long as you can occupy Beijing......" Sun Wen said to himself. didn't care about the differences between Huang Xing and others.

"Yat-sen, what is this for? Is this going to war? When did you decide when you wanted to go to war? Who decided to go to war? Huang Xing was a little angry, although he did not belong to the Chinese Revolutionary Party, he still lived in Tokyo and was in the company of the party. Today, I heard that Sun Wen said that he was discussing how to deal with today's situation, and he didn't want to issue a combat order as soon as Sun Wen came.

"Now that China and Japan are about to fight each other, our party can take this opportunity to overthrow Yang Jingcheng's regime." Sun Wendao. He suppressed Huang Xing, who was about to speak, and said, "Keqiang, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it later, now the time is pressing, we have to arrange ......"

"This is not called taking advantage of this opportunity, this is a traitor!" Huang Xing couldn't help but say loudly, he looked at Sun Wen with a grim expression and hated and hurt, the former Yixian who was dedicated to the country and full of love for the people seemed to be gone, and the Sun Wen in front of him was just a revolutionary madman who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.

"Fart!" Huang Xing was so outspoken, Sun Wen was also furious, and the joy brought by the two million yen suddenly dissipated without a trace, "This is the revolution!" This is not in the slightest difference from any of the previous ten revolutions. During the First Sino-Japanese War, I planned the uprising in Guangzhou, and during the Gengzi War, I planned the uprising in Huizhou, both of which were launched while the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in turmoil. If I betrayed the country, I started selling eighteen years ago. But are we traitors? The difference between today and yesterday is nothing more than that Yang Jingcheng replaced the Manchus, but what is the difference between Yang Jingcheng's government and the Manchus? Why did you not say that you betrayed the country when we were righteous during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now that Yang is in charge, you will say that you are traitorous when we raise righteousness? ”

"How can Yang Jingcheng be compared to the Manchu Qing? The Manchu Qing Dynasty was ruled by an alien race, was Yang Jingcheng a foreign race? Huang Xing retorted loudly, shouting louder than Sun Wen.

"Whether it's a foreign race or not, as long as we don't give the people freedom and equality, then we will overthrow it!" Sun Wen's face was distorted, and he clenched his fist and waved: "Yang Jingcheng's government is not of a foreign race, but it is better to sell the country than to be a foreign race!" Within a year of his rise to power, most of China's oil mines were sold, hundreds of millions of taels of silver were borrowed, and the railways twice as large as those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were sold out, and the taxes collected were twice as high as those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. His government is even more traitorous than the Manchus! The oppression is even greater! Dictatorship is even worse! The sooner such a government is overthrown, the better! ”

"Even if it is overthrown, it is not now!" Huang Xingdao. "You shouldn't mess with the Japanese. This is a national war, not a child's play! ”

"The Japanese have been supporting us since the uprising in Huizhou, and they didn't pay or send people for the uprising?" Sun Wen shouted, "The ideal is noble, but the reality is dirty." If our party members are not in the midst of filth, how can we save the people from fire and water? If we can't even stand this filth, can we still call ourselves revolutionaries? It's like seeing someone fall into the water, not jumping into the river, not diving in sewage. I'm afraid of dirty clothes, can I save people?! Comrades. As long as we love this country in our hearts and believe that we are saving this country. What are you afraid of being misunderstood? The name has nothing to do with the revolution, morality has nothing to do with the revolution, humanity and the revolution have nothing to do with it, the only thing we have to insist on is to believe that we can contribute to China's equality and freedom!! ”

Sun Wen is eloquent, Huang Xing can't debate, he looked around and saw that everyone seemed to have been persuaded by Sun Wen, so he had to get up gloomily, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly thought of something, stood on the threshold and said: "A free and equal country is not something that can be established by a group of minions and traitors!" ”

Huang Xing finished speaking and went out. His words were short, but the meaning was profound, and when the words fell, there was silence in the room. When Sun Wen's knuckles protruded and his teeth were clucking, Li Liejun and Hu Ying, who came with Huang Xing, also bowed and left. As soon as they left, Sun Wen finally became angry, and he kicked the low table on the tatami mat away, and the cabinet against the wall was also overturned by him, and every qiē placed in the room seemed to be smashed down by him.

When he kicks the flying low. Hu Hanmin and the others hurriedly got up and took everyone out of the room, only the new ... Song Qinglin, the English secretary, stayed, and he knew that only this woman who was in love with Mr. could soothe Mr. Chen's heart.

Dog Yangyi didn't know that such a scene happened in Sun Wen's apartment after he left. He was now in a hurry to see Yoshiichi Tanaka, the deputy chief of the General Staff Headquarters, who although he was not in a high position, but he was a confidant of Aritomo in Yama Prefecture, Choshu.

"Inu-kun. What did Sun Wen say? "Tanaka Yoshiichi doesn't have a good impression of Sun Wen, he only feels that this person is not enough to succeed and more than to lose.

"He's already agreed. But he did not want to attack from Yunnan, but wanted to fight with the Japanese army. Attack Beijing from Shandong or Manchuria. He believed that as long as he occupied Beijing, he would be able to stabilize his country in a short period of time like Yang Jingcheng. Inuyang Yi said.

"He's worried that we're going to take the opportunity to split North China, right?" Yoshiichi Tanaka never believed what people said, but only believed in actions motivated by personal motives.

"Maybe." Inu Yangyi had a bad opinion of this, "Sun Jun north of the Great Wall is willing to hand it over to us, but if the south of the Great Wall also gives it to us, then he can't explain it to the people." ”

"We don't want the territory south of the Great Wall, we just want the Yellow River valley to become our protectorate. The branch is too big, and it is not safe to divide the infighting. Yoshiichi Tanaka said. He saw that Inu Yangyi was still looking at him, so he said: "I will report his wish to the adults, and if it is appropriate, the Great Japanese Army is willing for them to follow us to fight." ”

Finally waiting for this sentence, Inuyang Yi immediately bowed and said, "Tanaka-kun bothered!" ”

"One qiē is all for the empire!" Tanaka Yoshiichi also replied, "How much power does Sun Wen have in China?" Zhina is extremely strictly controlled by the Dongchang forces, can his people do anything? By the way, maybe you don't know that the Shanghai East Asia Tongwen College has been seized by the East Factory of China, and all the students and teachers in it have been seized. There are also Xianle Hall and Shanle Hall in various places, which have been illegally searched by the people of China, and important personnel have been arrested. ”

"Nani?!" Dog Yangyi's eyes jumped wildly, the East Asia Tongwen College is not in the concession but in the Gaochang Temple, but Xianle Hall and Shanle Hall are all in the concession, "Why does the East Factory dare to arrest people in the concession?" And, they, what did they find? ”

"As long as they move fast, they will find anything." Tanaka Yoshiichi had repeatedly received a report from Major General Fukuda Masataro of the Second Staff Department that he knew that the spy network set up in Shina had been eradicated overnight, and the reason why he wanted to sue Sù Inu Yangyi was that he wanted him to warn Sun Wen to be careful, but not to scare Sun Wen. "The Shanghai Axe Gang, the Hankou Kitchen Knife Hall, and other concession gangs all have an inexplicable relationship with the East Factory of China, and many of the backbones in it are even the cadres of the East Factory. Yang actually wants us to become blind, and he also wants to torture information from these people's mouths, so as to dig out those officials who have a good impression of us. ”

"Yang is not afraid of us...... Aren't you afraid of the nations protesting? "Inu Yangyi suddenly let out a vicious howl, all over the spy network of China, he spent a lot of effort, and now he has been served in a pot, and more than ten years of hard work have been wasted.

"If Yang Jingcheng was afraid that we would protest, he would not have started a war." Yoshiichi Tanaka said helplessly. "France and Russia will protest at most and will not send troops, and the British will not care if they protest or not, since they dare to go to war with us, then they will not care about the British. Okay, so be it, I'm ......"

"Wait, Tanaka-kun......" Inu Yangyi suddenly stopped him, "Just now Sun Jun's two thoughts, the Chinese Navy and the Furen Literary Society ......"
