Yokohama, Japan, April 30, 1906.

When Sun Wen just got off the ship, Miyazaki and Feng Freedom and Song Yaoru greeted him, his trip was not simply from Singapore to return to China, but directly from France, after a few people greeted, everyone did not go to Tokyo, but accompanied Sun Wen to Yokohama's apartment, which is a resting place every time Sun Wen came to Japan.

"I heard that there was a lot of trouble when international students returned to China last year?" Sun Wen sat on the tatami mat and looked at Feng Freedom and asked.

"Yes. There are many things in the telegram that are not clear. The League and Fuxing also had conflicts because of dropping out of school and studying abroad, and there were members who died later. Feng Lifu usually doesn't talk much in meetings, and he doesn't come forward in everything, but he keeps many things in mind. Sun Wen had already known that someone had sacrificed, Feng Liberty nodded when he saw him, and said, "However, among the members of the Alliance, there are many people who have opinions about our maintenance of studying abroad, Qiu Jin, Tian Tong, Hu Ying and others insist on dropping out of school, and have left Tokyo to go to Shanghai, and set up a school there, I heard that it is still ...... I also heard that some of them had joined the Revival Society. ”

Why did they join the Renaissance? Revival will be a fake revolution, a real minion. They're betraying the alliance! Sun Wen said angrily, there are not many members of the alliance. Especially in Zhejiang, there are even fewer, as soon as Qiu Jin leaves, then only Jiang Zunwei is left, and more importantly, the Fuxing Association is now expanding everywhere, Guangdong is, Nanyang is, and I can't imagine that the headquarters is too.

"This ......" Feng Liberty only knew that someone had abandoned the Alliance and joined the Revival Society, but he didn't know why this was happening. Seeing that Feng Freedom couldn't get off the stage, Miyazaki next to him said monstrously: "Sir." A few days ago, the Revival Society sent a letter saying that they and we were both revolutionary parties, albeit with different aims. But attacking each other will only make the enemy happy, because they want to agree with us to live together peacefully, and we will not interfere with the river water......"

Before Miyazaki could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Wen's angry shouting, "Bastard! What is peaceful coexistence? What does it mean that well water does not interfere with river water? Now they are digging into our corners, and of course they are going to coexist peacefully! Of course, the well water should not interfere with the river water! This is the conspiracy of the Revival Society!! ”

Sun Wen's anger startled everyone, in fact, he was still in a good mood when he was in France, but when he arrived in Singapore, he found that the Singapore branch of the Revival Society had been established. When I went to Saigon, I found that there was also a branch of the Revival Society in Saigon, and many wealthy businessmen joined this Revival Society under the guise of a constitution. Song Yaoru, who came back to his senses at this time, persuaded: "Yixian." It's useless to be angry, and a few days ago we have already refuted them outside the No. 3 issue of the Minbao Daily. ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a copy of the People's Daily, which refuted the China Times of the Revival Society. also refuted Liang Qichao's Xinmin Cong Daily. Sun Wen took the newspaper. After reading it, his mood calmed down and said: "This revival society is the number one enemy of our revolution, which seems to be mild, but in fact it is the most cunning and very deceptive, so we will refute them more in the future, so that all revolutionary youth can see their true colors." As for this Liang Qichao, you can put it first. ”

Feng Liberty said, "Yes, sir. I'll arrange this when I get to Tokyo. ”

Next to him, Miyazaki also said: "Sir, you can expose them in the speech of Fujimi Building tomorrow." And ......" He thought for a moment and said, "The Black Dragon Society is now trying to find a way to assassinate their president, Yang Jingcheng. ”

As soon as he said this, he said. The air in the room suddenly tensed, and after a while, Song Yaoru said: "But we haven't seen this Yang Jingcheng ......"

"No, Yun Sun thinks that the last time we negotiated with Mr. Wen was Yang Jingcheng." After Feng Liberty finished speaking, he explained: "He is a member of the YMCA in the past, Yang Jingcheng came to Tokyo in his early years, although he has not seen it, but some of his classmates have seen it, after the last negotiation between the two sessions, he felt that this Mr. Wen was Yang Jingcheng." ”

"Really?!" Miyazaki and Song Yaoru exclaimed, even Sun Wen was a little surprised, he knew about the negotiations between the two associations, Cheng Jiatian did a good job, and broke off the connection between the Huaxing Association and the Fuxing Association, but according to this, this Yang Jingcheng is afraid that he hates the Alliance, if so, then it should still be ......

When everyone was discussing how to assassinate Yang Jingcheng, Sun Wen said, "Leave this matter to Yunsun." If Yang Jingcheng is still bent on being a slave of the Tartars, does not join our revolutionary camp, and must oppose the broad masses of the people, then this can only be the case. After saying this, he smiled and said: "I have gained a lot from going to France this time, and France has fully supported us in launching an uprising in Guangxi. In addition, they will send people to China to test the strength of our association. ”

As soon as the good news came out, the previous tense and depressed atmosphere in the room was swept away, and Song Yaoru was overjoyed and said, "Then when will we raise righteousness?" By the way, how to raise funds for the uprising? ”

When it came to the issue of funding, everyone looked at Miyazaki, and Miyazaki was busy saying: "Last time, we helped the Japanese government with a big help for international students, and I think it's not difficult to ask for funds from Your Excellency Inukai on this ground." However, the money needed for the uprising is probably quite a lot, and we have to find another way. ”

Seeing that Miyazaki said that he would find another way, Sun Wen smiled and said: "I have already negotiated with the legal person, as long as they finish testing my strength in the country, then they will lend us a loan to buy firearms." Seeing that Sun Wen had already thought about it, everyone was overjoyed, and Sun Wen said: "Now Keqiang is active in the Guilin patrol camp to move old friends, just wait for the French to take out a loan to buy firearms, at the end of this year or early next year, we can raise righteousness." ”

In Sun Wen's hearty laughter, everyone laughed happily, and after a while, everyone finished laughing, Feng Freedom said again: "Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is discussing the matter of constitutionalism, in order to combat their arrogance, some time ago, Fang Junying of the implementation department went to Beijing again. ”

"Hey. This is the real revolutionary! All members of the League should learn from them. Sun Wen said solemnly that every assassination is that his own people die more and the enemy dies less, but the results are not important, and the assassination is just an incentive for the revolutionary party. He asked, "The five ministers have returned, who are they going to kill this time?" ”

"The language is unknown, they only said that this time they must avenge Pu Quan, Zeng Xing, Tang Qunying, Fang Shengdong and others." Fang Junying and another woman surnamed Cheng seem to be on the same page as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if the two assassinations fail, they will come for the third time. On that day, Feng Liberty sent them on the ship to Tianjin, and when he parted, he told the two of them to take care, but these two people were murderous. He didn't mean to take care at all, he just felt that something big was going to happen in Beijing this time.

"If the people of the League were like them, hungry for Hulu meat and thirsty for the blood of the Huns, then our revolution would have succeeded a long time ago." Sun Wen became excited as he spoke, found the pen and inkstone on the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, and wanted to write the word "fraternity", but thinking about the assassination seemed to have nothing to do with fraternity. I had to think about it again. In fact, his words are too ugly, and the inscriptions he has carefully practiced are nothing more than "fraternity", "great harmony", and "the world is for the public". In the admiring eyes of Miyazaki and others, he finally had to write: "The world is for the public".

May 1 at 2 p.m., Fujimi Building, Tokyo.

This is the second time Sun Wen has spoken here, but the last time there was a large audience. And this time there were only six or seven hundred. It's still the members of the League who try their best to pull it over. When the speech began, Cheng Jiaqi still saw that the seats in the hall were not full, so they stopped closing the door and went directly to listen to the speech.

Sun Wen is still dressed in a white suit, he came to the stage in the applause of the crowd, in order to expose the false revolution of the Fuxing Society, his speech today is very long, ready to start talking about the Three People's Principles. Then he attacked the three representatives of the Renaissance.

"Today, you are here enthusiastically, and my brother wants to come. It's not just a matter of being happy, but it must have some great intentions. Today's meeting is about the future of the Chinese nation, and to solve the problem of the future of the Chinese nation, we must use the three doctrines: "Sun Wen said this tone to create suspense, but when he suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside, he deliberately raised his voice a lot, and said: "These three doctrines, the first is nationalism, the second is civil rights, and the third is the ...... of the people."

Sun Wen's voice became louder and louder, but the sound of firecrackers became denser and denser, and he only waited for his "third" to finish speaking, when someone outside suddenly shouted heartbreakingly: "Constitutional!" It's finally constitutional!! It's constitutional! It's finally constitutional!! ……”

The voice penetrated through the door like a thunderstorm, and Sun Wen's voice amplified by the radio was also drowned out by this heartfelt shout, and he stopped without finishing the word "people's livelihood", and the international students in the venue were originally coaxed or persuaded by the members of the Alliance, and suddenly heard the word "constitutional", and they were stunned for a while and all cheered, "Constitutional? Is it really constitutional? I'm saved in China! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray!! The venue was suddenly chaotic because of the noisy shouting of the crowd, some international students sitting at the door ran out of the back door while shouting, some people took the lead and some people followed, less than half a minute, the entire venue of the international students walked away, only the stunned members of the alliance and Sun Wen who was still standing awkwardly on the podium.

On May 1, 1906, the Manchu Qing Dynasty issued an edict imitating the constitution. On the day of the issuance of the edict, countless telegrams were sent from Beijing to all parts of the world, on this day, it seemed that the places where there were Chinese people in the world were tossed and messed, when Sun Wen stood on the podium and was embarrassed, Yang Rui, who gave a speech to the representatives of the provinces in Shanghai, was also startled by the noise outside, but he immediately stopped the topic, and after understanding what was going on, he said to everyone: "This is the foundation of Manchu rule, everyone listen." Think about how we can cut it off! ”

The firecrackers and cheers outside rang for a long time, and after a while, there was another gong and drum, accompanied by a burst of passionate singing: Long live the Qing Dynasty, long live the emperor! In the spring of the thirty-second year of Guangxu, the sound of joy moved the earth. When the Games come, the opportunity is ripe, and the civilization is instilled with true speed. There is no pain in peaceful reforms, and the constitution is in the monarchy. The minister returned from traveling, and the same new stage......

The song seemed to be sung by thousands of people, until the houses on both sides of the street were buzzing, and when the singing was over, it was a voice shouting long live the emperor, and when Yang Rui wanted to speak, it was a terrifying sound of firecrackers, singing, gongs and drums, firecrackers, shouting, and repeatedly making noise for nearly an hour before it was discharged.

"What to do? What to do? Yang Rui looked at Tao Chengzhang and others, who were still complaining that they should not support the constitution in the morning, and asked loudly. Seeing that everyone didn't speak for a while, he said: "At this time, the most important thing to think about is not our strength, but our program. I have memorized the program of the Revival Society when I joined the Association, and here I will simply repeat that the Revival Society represents the requirements for the development of advanced productive forces. It represents the direction of progress of advanced culture and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people.

The number of people shouting for the constitution outside will not exceed two million at most. And those who will not shout for constitutionalism are more than 40,000! The Revival does not represent the interests of the two millions, whether they are constitutional, republican, anarchic, so be them! What we care about is the 40,000,000 people who can't shout, why they don't shout, because they can't read, because they are poor. I don't know what constitutionalism is, I can only do it at sunrise and rest at sunset. But they are the foundation of this country, and we can only stand with them. in order to be invincible.

The ultimate goal of our revolution is not to make any world-class meritorious deeds or to build any grand causes; The ultimate goal of our revolution is to change the situation of these 40,000 people. Keep them well fed and warmly clothed. Let them have a house to live in, a book to read, and more importantly, let them understand what a home is, what a country is, and what is a self. This is our revolution, a revolution as simple as that! ”

Yang Rui said that the revolution is simple, but it will take several generations to complete the revolution, which is not comparable to the world. It will not be so difficult to overthrow the three mountains of imperialism, bureaucracy, and feudalism mentioned in the meeting, but. It is also felt that the revolution has a long way to go, and all the delegates have fallen silent - the day before the meeting, the representatives of the provinces made a report on the situation in their provinces, although because of secrecy, many things are obscure, but the shape is still very encouraging, which is equivalent to saying that the revival will even if it launches a rebellion now, not to mention other places, Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be completely won, but after listening to the celebration of the constitution, the delegates began to take it seriously, since the world has a point, why not calm down and make more preparations, What if it will come to fruition?

According to Yang Rui, the revolution is not necessarily a matter of life and death, and it is vigorous, and the revolution can also moisten things silently, calmly, and plainly, of course, this kind of revolution without passion is not what young people like, but Yang Rui likes this, he believes that revolution is actually to do things, and the revolution will succeed after doing things silently. It's just that he thinks about the good, but history seems to be incompatible with him, and the silent revolution he hoped for is soon bankrupt.

"Actually, this was just delivered." At the end of another day's meeting, Wang Jitong personally came to the four roads, this place was the scientific instrument museum of the study center, and later expanded as a management training school, after the opening of Tongji University Hall last year, the management training school moved to the other side of the Huangpu River, became the School of Economics and Management of Tongji University Hall, this time the representative of the University because of the concession opened, so the venue is placed here.

"This is ......" Yang Rui took the letter handed over by Wang Jitong, he didn't know why he was so serious, but when he saw the handwriting on the envelope, his heartbeat suddenly stopped.

"They went to Beijing again." Wang Jitong explained: "I asked the Beijing side to follow, but after Weisheng said that they had sent the guns a few days ago, there was no news from them, and they didn't seem to be able to see them all over the capital." ”

There is no shortage of regional concepts anywhere, and even if revival will continue to suppress regional concepts, it will still exist in the bones of every member. Wang Jitong is from Jiangsu, Xu Huafeng is from Jiangsu, but Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei, Yu Zixun, and Zhong Guanguan are all from Zhejiang. Although Wang Ji was disappointed, he was relieved to think that Yang Rui was not from Zhejiang after all. Therefore, he had always been concerned about the women who would carry out the assassination in this alliance.

Of course, Yang Rui didn't understand his careful thoughts, and sighed when he heard this: "Hey, if you ask for benevolence, you can not complain!" Let Beijing do its best, if you can save it, you can save it, if you can't save it......"

The letter that Yang Rui was holding twisted in his hand, but he remained silent on the surface, and only when he returned to Ruyi's residence, he lay on the bed weakly, holding the letter with both hands, and silently looked at the handwriting on it. After a long time, he opened it carefully, and the first thing that fell out of the letter was a bundle of hair, which smelled of her. Yang Rui put his hair on his chest, and unfolded the letter inside, the letter was very thin, only one page, but after unfolding, there were no words, only ink and tears, he saw this heart sour, only thought that this woman was afraid that he would never see it again, and then looked at the white letter paper, and felt that the sky was suddenly very dark, and the whole world was very dark!

The person Yang Rui is thinking about is actually in Beijing, on an ancient locust tree near Changchun Bridge outside Beijing. She and Fang Junying have been here for three days. During the day, because of the presence of farmers nearby, they all wore straw clothes and remained motionless in the trees, only at night. They would gather on the big branches a little below, either to cheer each other up, or to look up at the stars in the sky. Every time they looked at the stars, Fang Junying and Cheng Ying would shed tears, and at this time, Fang Junying would say, "Little girl." I cried because I thought of the seventh brother, the fourth sister-in-law and the group of heroes, what are you crying about, you miss a man! ”

At this time, Cheng Ying is no longer a shy person. "Just think about it, you're going to die, can't you think about a man!"

"If you want to, you should go to him. Before coming to Beijing, you should go to Shanghai to find him. "I don't know why. Seeing the people around her die one by one, guilt soaked Fang Junying's heart, she didn't want Cheng Ying to die like her fourth sister-in-law and seventh brother, she just hoped that she could live well.

Hearing that Fang Junying said that he was going to find him again, Cheng Ying was silent for a long time before he said: "But he is a fake revolutionary, and he is a ......."

"Don't listen to the nonsense of those who have not achieved enough and have more than enough to fail." Chen Tianhua's death made Fang Junying completely disappointed in the Confederacy, of course. This disappointment is not unrelated to Qiu Jin, who left Japan to see them. While disappointed in the Alliance, Lin Suzong's words had a great impact on her. They are all from Fujian, and they are from the same county, and Fang Junying is fully convinced that constitutionalism is only a strategy of the Fuxing Society, and the revolution has always been the goal of the Fuxing Society.

"But ......" Cheng Ying also heard Lin Suzong say these things, she actually believes that the revival will be a fake constitution and a real revolution, but why doesn't he explain it? In fact, she deliberately forgot about it, Yang Rui's habit is that the closer the person, the less he likes to explain, he thinks that this is something that relatives should understand, otherwise this is still a close person.

"Don't talk about him, Sister Ying, when will Cixi and Guangxu come out?" Cheng Ying skipped the topic, she only felt that the more she continued to talk about that person, the more she missed that person, and only by putting the topic of discussion on the assassination of Cixi Guangxu could she feel that her heart was still here.

"It's so hot, come soon." Fang Junying actually didn't have a score in her heart. They are tantamount to waiting for the rabbit here, but she is still too annoyed to repeat the previous excuse, "The Summer Palace was repaired by the old witch Cixi who spent tens of millions of naval military spending, and it is extremely beautiful. As long as it is summer, she will take Guangxu to the Summer Palace together. ”

"Why do you want to take Guangxu with you, didn't this Tartar Emperor say that he was imprisoned?" Cheng Ying listened to it many times, and he also heard that there was a problem.

"This ...... Probably because Cixi was timid, and as soon as she didn't see Guangxu, she was worried that he and his ministers would be in a conspiracy to seize power. Fang Junying didn't know anything about this, so she could only guess by feeling, "I heard that every time Cixi goes to the Summer Palace, she goes to Wanshou Temple to get on a boat and take the waterway, as long as she crosses the Maizhong Bridge, it is the Changchun Bridge." We'll be able to ...... then."

Under the starlight, Fang Junying made a shooting action, and then laughed, Cheng Ying also laughed when she saw this, she said: "Kill the two of them, and we will avenge the seventh brother and four sisters-in-law." ”

Fang Junying nodded, her smile retracted, she looked at the starry sky silently; And Cheng Ying also knew that this kind of words were just words of comfort, now it was just the beginning of summer, and Cixi was said to go to the Summer Palace around the summer solstice, and even if Cixi Guangxu really passed by boat in the river below these days, could he really kill them? If it was really so easy to kill, Cixi would have been killed countless times, but she didn't say anything, and without saying anything, she leaned on the branch like Fang Junying, looking at the vast starry sky through the sparse leaf gap somewhere in the old locust tree.

*

Constitutionalism is actually not something that Cixi is willing to do, a woman's intuition makes her very repulsive about it, the five ministers going abroad is actually just a work for the occasion, if you really want to investigate it, it can be completely used as a reason for the disagreement between China and foreign conditions, and the matter can be delayed. It's just that on that day, Zaize made his Fujin, that is, the second sister of the Empress Dowager Longyu, the niece of Cixi, say something to her that stirred her mind again.

The words are euphemistic, but there are two meanings, one is that the power of the governors of the provinces of the Qing Dynasty is too great now, and the right to revoke those local governors can be taken back after the constitution is established, in fact, this is the policy of cutting the feudal domain during the Kangxi period, and second, because of the Russo-Japanese War last year, even if the armistice of the three eastern provinces is undecided, it was only at the end of last year that a treaty was signed with Japan to determine that the three eastern provinces were really back. Last year, because of the loss of the ancestral land, and even more afraid of public opinion, the 70th birthday was not done well at all, and this year, the three eastern provinces are back, which is a joy, if it is added to the national celebration of the constitution, it is the second joy, so a double happiness is coming, and the birthday ceremony of the tenth day of October this year is going to make a good trouble.

Those who are greedy for power are afraid of death, those who shoot death cherish their lives, and those who cherish their lives love to live a long life. Everything else is okay, like cutting the feudal domain or not, changing the official system or not changing the official system, it's just a trick made by Zai Ze and others to climb the ladder, and these Cixi don't break it in their hearts. It's just that the last birthday words made Cixi's heart feel very relieved, so during the group discussion the next day, Cixi's tone suddenly changed. Finally, on April 29, when Cixi convened the constitutional ministers to ask whether the constitution was established or not, all the ministers replied that the constitution should be implemented, but Lu Chuanlin and Wang Wenshao were gloomy, and then Cixi asked again, and they reluctantly agreed. The implementation of the constitution was decided on this matter. (To be continued......)
