When Mrs. Huang was about to make lunch, the door outside the outer yard rang, she thought it was a messenger, put down the washed vegetables and was about to go out to open the door, but she didn't want to make a noise outside, the door opened, and a beautiful woman walked in.

"Ah, it's Miss Cheng." Mrs. Huang was pleasantly surprised, she remembered this rich lady who used to come here to find Mr. Yang. However, these two people always lack some fate, when one is in Shanghai, the other is not in Shanghai. However, she looked at the red rope on the bunch of keys in Cheng Ying's hand today, and her heart was happy. When Mr. Yang left last year, he not only borrowed all the upstairs, but also paid 200 yuan in advance to get the rent, and she tied the key to this string of red ropes. "Miss Cheng, did Mr. Yang ask you to come?" She asked, smiling at Cheng Ying as she spoke. "Come, come. I happened to be cooking, so let's eat here. ”

Cheng Ying was very worried when she came, she didn't expect to meet Mrs. Huang at all, but now she met her as soon as she entered the door, but she looked at Mrs. Huang smiling at herself, this kind of smile was so kind, it made her heart warm. She immediately replied: "Ah, no, Mrs. Huang, I have something to do later, I... I'll come back tomorrow for dinner. ”

Mrs. Huang didn't pay attention to her stunnedness, but just looked at her slightly and said, "Oh, I haven't seen Miss Cheng become more and more beautiful for a few years." What about Mr. Yang? Did he go back to Shanghai? He used to come back and sit down, but he was always polite and always bought things. Mrs. Huang felt that she had treated the guests slowly, and then said, "Look at me." Forget that you came in for tea. ”

Cheng Ying was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Huang's words, she actually didn't know that Yang Rui had been renting here, so she only opened a letter he gave today. I knew that this place where the two once knew each other is still preserved.

Mrs. Huang took her to the living room, and when she drank tea, she had a homely meal, and after chatting, Cheng Ying knew that there had been a big change here, Mrs. Huang had already taken her son from her hometown, and now she was going to school, and she talked about Yang Rui when she talked about it. The best primary school in Shanghai is run by the Education Association, because it is a tuition-free entrance examination, and there are many people who want to go to it. Last year, if Mr. Yang hadn't asked a friend for help. I'm afraid I won't even be able to register for the exam.

Mrs. Huang finished talking about some trivial matters, and at the same time inquired about the situation between Cheng Ying and Yang Rui, she seemed to be afraid that the rich lady in front of her would not look down on a poor child running around, and said a lot of good things about Yang Rui. I could only hear Cheng Ying laughing in his heart. When in the Northeast. Yang Rui deliberately angered her, and she ignored Anton after she returned to him in a fit of anger. In the past six months, she has been running a China Women's Newspaper with Qiu Jin, vigorously promoting feminist ideas, and at this time she is not only a revolutionary, but also a woman. However, no matter how female a man is, when she encounters real difficulties, the first thing she thinks of is her man. After opening the envelope that Yang Rui had reserved earlier, she came here with the key.

The League's uprisings in Guangxi continued to fail and rise again. repeatedly tossed the Manchu Qing endlessly, and in the end, the imperial court and Zhou Fu, the governor of Liangguang, were immune to the uprising in Guangxi, and only felt that Sun Wen had nothing to do, so he would pull the cannon. In July, under the urging of Sun Wen, Huang Xing again ordered Huang Mingtang, Wang Heshun and others to revolt at the mouth of the river, and the uprising was extremely smooth, and the rebels occupied the mouth of the river and surrendered five battalions of the Manchu flood control army. But when the team reached two or three thousand people, the problem arose.

The reason why the Qing soldiers surrendered was because the alliance would promise to surrender with weapons 'that is, one dollar of silver', and these flood soldiers lived a very hard life, and in addition to buying rice, they had to rely on firewood and work for a living. Now he surrendered in order to have money, and Hu Hanmin, who was sitting in Hanoi, urged Sun Wen to raise a huge sum of 100,000 yuan as much as possible, so that he could attack Mengzi and occupy Kunming. can be used many times, and the money raised before has been almost used, and at this time, Hu Hanmin suddenly asked for 100,000 taels, and Sun Wen couldn't change it.

In addition to the lack of money on the front, more importantly, there were several governors of the Righteous Army, Huang Mingtang and Wang Heshun had already been appointed by Sun Wen as the 'Metropolitan Governor of the Southern Army of the Chinese National Army', and Guan Renfu, another leader of the Righteous Army, was previously appointed by Sun Wen as the 'Metropolitan Governor of the Western Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army'. Huang Mingtang thought that this time Mr. Sun Wen was to make himself the main one, and Wang Heshun and Guan Renfu were the deputies, but Guan Renfu thought that Mr. Sun had confessed before that he was the main one in the Southern Yunnan Uprising, and Huang Mingtang and Wang Heshun were the deputies. When the three of them argued, Huang Xing arrived, and his title was even greater, called 'Commander-in-Chief of the Yunnan National Army', and he had the power to 'control the armies'.

Sun Wen's method has always been to blow, the tone is very large, is to cooperate between the three governors and a commander-in-chief is not so tacit, especially Huang Xing single-handed, but also empty-handed, so the commander-in-chief was ignored, and later France in the Manchu court, under the church, had to forcibly close the liaison station of the League in Lao Cai, which made the rebel army have no follow-up. When Huang Xing crossed the border to ask for help under such circumstances, he was thought to be Japanese by the French patrol police, arrested and sent to Singapore. And Huang Mingtang, Wang Heshun and others, seeing that Huang Xing did not return for a long time, handed over the troops to He Huting after the defeat and retreated, and they slipped back to Hanoi. He Huting was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army with the remnants of the army, and finally had to cross the border to Vietnam, but was also disarmed by the French patrol and sent to Singapore.

Huang Xing was alone, and the Alliance's organs in Singapore could easily take him out, but He Huting's six or seven hundred people didn't have so much money to help. Unable to survive, these men ended up working as coolies on mines and farms. After Fang Junying learned about it, she sent a letter to Shanghai and asked Qiu Jin, Cheng Ying and others to help her. Six or seven hundred people, each of them is ten yuan, and it also costs six or seven thousand yuan, besides, what can ten yuan do, if you want to send these people home, you have to pay twenty or thirty thousand yuan, such a huge amount of money, the alliance will not be able to raise. Cheng Ying wanted to send a telegram to Yang Rui, but thinking that Yang Rui was strongly opposed to the Rescue Alliance before, and the two were in the Cold War, they could only find a way by themselves. Thinking about it, she remembered that Yang Rui handed her several envelopes when she was engaged, and one of them told her father to open it when he was short of money in business. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I remembered it when I was short of money, and Cheng Ying came to Ruyi after opening the envelope.

Open the door between the pavilions. There was just a musty smell inside, and looking at the room as if it were the same, she couldn't help but think of the matter of sorting out the manuscript here a few years ago. She didn't have long standing at the door, so she cautiously entered, closed the door, and found something in the crack in the brick wall on the side of the door. Open the oiled paper of the package, which is still an envelope inside, and open it and take it out. It's a stiff jagged piece of red paper, which is actually an HSBC cash check. Cheng Jing only saw more than 3,000 on it at first, and then looked at it later, not silver taels but pounds. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that even if the money was not enough, it would not be much worse.

Cheng Ying took the check to HSBC and withdrew the money, and then returned to the China Women's Newspaper in Houdri, Hongkou. At this time, Qiu Jin was fidgeting inside, and she was actually raising money. I went to my confidant Xu Zihua before. When Xu Zihua heard that the revolution was needed, he poured out his money to help and handed over all the ornaments to Qiu Jin, so he got thirty taels of gold, but this is only one thousand yuan, but what Fang Junying needs is twenty or thirty thousand, which is not enough at all.

As soon as Cheng Ying entered the door, Qiu Jin looked at her and said, "How is it?" Did you get it? ”

Cheng Zhen nodded, took out the stack of pounds from his arms and said, "I guess it's enough." It's not enough, and you can only remit it first. I'll think of other ways later. ”

Qiu Jin had never seen this kind of foreign money before, and at the same time, the pound was not marked with Arabic numerals, but directly expressed the value of the currency in English, looking at such a stack of money and said, "How many are here?" ”

"It's about 23,000 yuan." Cheng Ying said, and saw Qiu Jin looking at him in surprise, so he explained: "It's more than 3,500 pounds here, I don't know if it's enough over there." ”

Hearing that there was so much money, Qiu Jin was taken aback and said, "Where did this come from?" , If the family brought it, what will happen to your father after it is remitted to Junying? ”

Cheng Ying didn't dare to tell her that this was actually Yang Rui's money, she only said that she was asking for it from her family, but now she heard Qiu Jin say, 'After remitting, where will my father do', and she was a little worried that the money could only be borrowed and had to be repaid after use, she thought about it in her heart, but she thought of the revolutionary aspirants over there suffering in the mine, so she said ruthlessly: "If you send it, you will send it, and let's talk about what happens." ”

When Cheng Ying said that he was sending money, Yang Rui, who was in the northeast, only felt that his whole body was suddenly a little cold, and he didn't know that his last private money was lost by a woman. He ripped his clothes, watched the sky outside suddenly start to snow, and just cursed the damn weather in his heart, and then stopped talking.

Although I was reluctant to lease it to the Americans, I had to do so, and if I didn't win over the United States, it would be difficult for me to gain a foothold in Liaodong. He suddenly felt that Sun Wen would choose a place, and after negotiating with the French in Guangxi, once the place was laid, the French would intervene, so that he could easily obtain a provincial land, on the other hand, he had been hiding in the mountains for several years. However, he thought that according to his character, if he was criticized by the French in the future, he would be unwilling.

Yang Rui now looks at a piece of information: According to the information received from the inside of the alliance during this time, after the failure of the Hekou Uprising, Sun Wen seems to want to come again, but in the past two years, he has raised money everywhere, and he has raised all the places that can raise money, and it is estimated that even the travel expenses are not enough to raise funds. Yang Rui was not surprised by Sun Wen's behavior, but when he saw the information that he was going to Japan again, he was very puzzled. In March last year, the Japanese government expelled him from the film after giving him 15,000 yuan at the invitation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Why can he go to Japan now? Did he go under a pseudonym secretly, or did the Japanese government allow him to go privately?

Yang Rui thought for a long time, guessing that the Japanese government should have invited him to go, the reason for this is because of the previous Meichang railway, the Manchu Qing Dynasty offended Japan, especially this railway has an American capital background, which makes Japan's interests in South Manchuria suffer a great loss. Yang Rui's guess was completely right, the Japanese were very dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty's introduction of the United States, but they did not target Guangxu, but the pro-American Zai Ze, but Zai Ze is now the vice premier of the cabinet, and he is also a relative of the emperor, so it is difficult to deal with for a while. On the northeast side, because of the pressure of the British, it is impossible to make any big moves, and the best way to come up with is to support the Qing Revolutionary Party to make trouble, as in the past, and the location of the trouble. It was chosen in Fujian, which is separated by a sea from Taiwan.

When Yang Rui thought of this possibility, he called Liu Boyuan and said, "Japan should keep an eye on it." I guess that the Japanese estimate that there will be a big move in Fujian, and there is also the Alliance, can they break into Sun Wen's inner circle? ”

Seeing that Mr. was so formal that he would come over, Liu Boyuan knew that it must be a big deal, and when he heard that it was true, he thought after listening: "There are only a few people in Sun Wen's lineage, and strangers are only in the outer circle. Although the people we sent were Cantonese, they were all too raw-faced to get close. It is estimated that it will be time. ”

Yang Rui also understands that it will be easy to join the alliance, but it is difficult to become Sun Wen's descendant, even a person like Hu Hanmin is only his cadre. Not his henchmen. Sun Wen and the deal of the French. He didn't even know anything about the deal with the Japanese. While Yang Rui was pondering, Liu Boyuan suddenly thought of a way and said, "Sir, if you can start with Japan, then the matter is estimated to be simple." ”

"Start with Japan?" Yang Rui asked, "Do you mean to send someone to Japan?" ”

"No, it's not." Liu Boyuan shook his head and said, "I mean can you start from Miyazaki Inzo." He has followed Sun Wen for many years, and Sun Wen also has great trust in him. If you can gain his trust, then things will be easier. However, it takes some money to be. ”

"That's a way to go." Yang Rui nodded. Sun Wen is most lacking money now, if there can be a person with thousands of money in his hands, and he is extremely enthusiastic about the revolution, then under the recommendation of Miyazaki Inzo, it is very likely that Sun Wen will treat him as a descendant. "Then do it. In addition, it is during this time that our people pay close attention to whether Sun Wen will lead an uprising in Fujian, or in Huizhou, Guangdong, and Chaozhou. I feel that the Japanese are going to have another uprising in Huizhou. ”

Yang Rui's feeling is very accurate, at this time, Sun Wen in Japan is discussing with Huang Xing about the uprising at the junction of Fujian and Guangzhou. In addition to the difficulty in raising funds, more importantly, since Bugape instigated the Chinese revolution last year and was seized by the Manchus, the support of the French for him has been decreasing, and after the failure of Zhennanguan, the business people no longer received him. However, what is clear is that because Japan and the Manchus lost peace in South Manchuria, now the Japanese are not sweeping him out of the house as before, but euphemistically invited him to go to Japan again, and yesterday Inuyang Yi also said that he will continue to support his republican revolution, for which the Japanese will provide money for firearms. If the revolution succeeded, then the Japanese authorities would provide diplomatic support, which could not but excite him.

However, compared with Sun Wen's mood, Huang Xing's love is very low. "Yixian, we have raised righteousness one after another, but we have failed one after another, and it is not a way to go on like this. Moreover, every time the righteous food and salary are insufficient, and without food, then the party will not be willing to charge and fight. What we should do now is not to raise righteousness, but to rethink the tactics and methods of the revolution. I would like to mention that the work of the new army of the movement should be put on the agenda of the League. ”

Looking at Huang Xingyan with a smile, Sun Wen waited for Huang Xing to finish speaking before saying: "Keqiang, I understand what you said very well, after all, I personally participated in the Zhennanguan uprising." Knowing that it is extremely difficult to fight on the front line, Keqiang has been able to hold on until now, which surprised me and everyone, including the Japanese. I also agree with what you said about rethinking the tactics and methods of the revolution, because we cannot always expect to succeed by relying on the revolution of the party, and the new army must be moved. However, we can't just throw away the party for the sake of the new army. Besides, only by constantly revolting the Manchu court and creating greater momentum can the revolution succeed as soon as possible. Keqiang, the righteousness has failed many times, but compared with the first uprising, I am now a hundred times more optimistic! ”

"Yixian, but the foundation of Guangxi and Yunnan is still relatively good, why do we turn to Fujian now? The most important thing is that we have no foundation in Fujian, and now among the members, there are only a few Fujianese people, Fang Junying, Fang Shengtao, and Lin Shishuang, and the local situation is also very unfamiliar. Huang Xing didn't quite understand the affairs of the Japanese, but simply looked at the affairs of Fujian from the point of view of the uprising.

"If Fujian can't do it, then we will start an uprising in Chaozhou." Sun Wen also felt that it was not safe to go directly to Fujian, so he thought about placing the site of the uprising in the nearby Chaozhou. Sun Wen said that change will change, but Huang Xing had led an uprising in Chaozhou before, and he heard Sun Wen talk about Chaozhou. His face suddenly turned weird, and Sun Wen hurriedly said when he saw this: "Keqiang, this time will never be like the last time." If the planning is not secret, and the news leaks, I will also pay close attention to fundraising. Now I have convinced a Japanese Chinese businessman that he is willing to pay for the guns, and that we are only responsible for the party's salaries. Also, the backbone of the alliance will be transferred back this time. Seriously and steadfastly prepare and move this action! ”

Sun Wen's determination was so great that it didn't reassure Huang Xing much, because he said so every time he urged the righteousness. However, I heard that some Japanese Chinese businessmen were willing to pay for firearms. Huang Xing subconsciously asked: "How many guns is this Japanese Chinese businessman willing to buy?" ”

"Two thousand rifles!" Sun Wen stretched out two fingers neatly, "Each gun is equipped with four hundred bullets." Keqiang, so many firearms are enough. ”

"The question is, what kind of gun did he buy? If you buy the old Japanese rifle with black powder earlier, then ......" Huang Xing heard that there were two thousand guns, and his heart skipped a beat. And then I was afraid that people would be cheap, so I only took some broken guns to make up the numbers.

"I've been fooled before. This time the question was clear. Now Japan is selling some rifles that were captured from Russia during the Russo-Japanese War, which are better than the standard rifles used by the Japanese army today, and we are going to buy them. The things promised by Inu Yangyi were said by Sun Wen in a different way, only the little blood that remained in Huang Xing's heart was activated again, and he hurriedly said: "But only firearms are still not enough, two thousand rifles, and the local party also has a lot of firearms, so there are six or seven thousand people in total." So many people. Ten yuan for one person, then it costs seventy or eighty thousand yuan. This time we should raise more than 100,000 yuan. If the money is not settled, then the uprising will not succeed. ”

"yes. It has to be more than 100,000 yuan. Sun Wen said that his momentum also stopped, it was really hard for a penny to defeat a hero. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'll think of a way tomorrow to see if I can raise some money over there." When he said this, he remembered the Revival Association: "Now where we donate, the Revival Association is also donating, but they only donate money and do not revolutionize, they only know that they are nested in the deep mountains and old forests, is this a revolution, this is a bandit." ”

After Cai Yuanpei was captured, the short honeymoon between the Fuxing Society and the Alliance Society came to an end, and the previous merger plan was shattered, which made Sun Wen very unhappy. Because he was negotiating with the Americans at that time, at a critical time, the Revival Society affirmed that the Revival Society and the Alliance were two different organizations, which caused the Americans to immediately suspend the negotiations. Of course, there is another factor in this, that is, Hangzhou was captured by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Sun Wen did not realize that Hangzhou fell until later, and there were some elements of the League in it. Although this matter was not ordered by him, Chen Qimei's actions were very appetizing, and his understanding of the revolution was obviously deeper than that of others around him. Because of this, there is Yang Jingcheng, Hangzhou, and Zhang Taiyan. However, only Hangzhou has done this, and the others have not succeeded.

Sun Wen thought about the League and the Revival Association since last year, but he only felt that the League would not rise up, and this revolution would really be led by the Revival Association. Sun Wen's face was cloudy, Huang Xing's thoughts were not so complicated, after the wolf retreated from the estuary, he wanted to no longer rely on the party to raise things, not only costly, but also very bad combat effectiveness, the most important thing is that the details are often leaked in advance, and they do not listen to the command when they do the matter, such a force, if they want to fight, they have to coax with good words and lure them with silver.

"Yat-sen, can we get the Revival Association to join in this time? Even if they don't join, it's okay for them to send a few people to command. Huang Xing thought about the situation of these uprisings, and only felt that he could not command an army of nearly 10,000 people on his own, especially this army was not in the real sense, it was just a party, a group of rabble.

"No way!" This time the move is completely different from the previous ones, that is, Sun Wen, the person who raised the matter by himself, is also considering the candidate in his heart, because there are too many secrets involved, and if one is not good, the consequences will be unpredictable. "The Renaissance Society is now squeezing our donations everywhere, and what is even more infuriating is that they are still claiming that China cannot be rich and strong unless it is centralized. Although we are both revolutionary parties, the two associations do not agree on their purposes, and if they cannot come together, they will go their separate ways in the future. This time, we relied on our own strength, and there was no need for them to participate. ”

Huang Xing also heard what Sun Wen said, and he sighed at the moment: "Why are they all revolutionary parties, but they can't come together?" Isn't the greatest local enemy for both of us the Manchu court? ”

This is actually the reason for Yang Jingcheng of the Revival Society, he has always been very repulsive to the Alliance. Mr. Cai Heqing of the Renaissance Society, whom I met in Shanghai at the time, was fully in favor of the establishment of a democratic republic after the success of the revolution. It's a pity that he is now a prisoner of Chu, and he can't ask about the things in the meeting, otherwise the two of us wouldn't have such a relationship. The capture of Mr. Heqing delayed the victory of the Chinese revolution by at least five years. Sun Wen thought of Cai Yuanpei and felt a pity, if everything was wishful, then now the Revival Society no longer exists, and he has established a republic in Guangxi, Yungui and other places. At that time, as long as the French agree, then the banner will be pointed north, and the army will go out from Guangxi, first attack Hunan, then Wuchang, Dongke Nanjing, and finally smash Huanglong, and the great cause of the republic will be determined. What a pity! Hey, what a shame! (To be continued......)
