When Zhang Yuanji saw Cai Yuanpei again, he only felt that he couldn't recognize him, the original Sven man was now red, his beard was unshaven, and his cheeks were very thin. Only when he smiled at himself again did he vaguely find the appearance of Cai Yuanpei before. He sighed after bowing: "Poor people, you have changed! ”

Cai Yuanpei could roughly guess the purpose of his coming, and he also sighed, "Brother Xiaozhai, I feel that someone else has changed." ”

"Do you have to fight?" Zhang Yuanji asked again.

"Well, I have to fight!" Cai Yuanpei said resolutely, even if the person in front of him was kind to him.

"Then I can go back now." Zhang Yuanji said with a smile.

"Don't!" Cai Yuanpei hurriedly helped him stop, "I'm going to Hangzhou tonight." There are some things that I still need your help with. ”

"Ahh Zhang Yuanji was shocked, Hangzhou is now a dead place, but Cai Yuanpei is going. "You can't go there,!"

"Why can't I go?" Cai Yuanpei smiled resolutely, "Now there are many members of the Revival Association, only I am in Shanghai, and I must go." Bring the family along. ”

"But Hangzhou is already surrounded and suppressed on three sides, and it is a dead place. Besides, how are you going? "Zhang Yuanji was originally entrusted by the governor of Liangjiang to negotiate peace with Cai Yuanpei, but as soon as they met, he knew that there was nothing to talk about, and he wanted to leave but didn't want Cai Yuanpei to move his family to death.

"Take a boat." Cai Yuanpei saw that he was anxious, so he had to comfort him, hold his shoulder, let him sit on the chair, and then said: "Since you have chosen the revolution, then you must make the revolution to the end." ”

"But what the hell are you going to do? Revolution is not a death! Now that the parliament has been opened, the imperial power will decline step by step. Slowly, civil rights will grow. Isn't this the same as the result of your revolution? "For the same worries as Zhang Yuanji and Cai Yuanpei in China today, both of them chose to start with education to change the status quo, but Cai Yuanpei is in a hurry, and Zhang Yuanji is slow.

"It's too late. Brother Shinozai. "Cai Yuanpei can't say that the opening of the National Assembly was originally a plan to revive the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and as soon as the Congress opened, the Manchu and Han contradictions were not eased, but intensified. But those things that the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not see, once the National Assembly was opened, then the whole world would know. For example, not to mention the annual salary of 4 million taels, the cost of the imperial family alone is as high as more than 8 million taels of silver, which is far from the 3 million yen (about 2 million taels of silver) of the Japanese imperial family, and these 8 million taels do not include the annual income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of 3 to 4 million taels. If all these are added up, then the annual money spent for the Manchurians is more than 16 million taels, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the national fiscal revenue, which is still a regular fee, and there can be no celebrations, weddings, and funerals.

What Zhang Yuanji saw, what he thought of, was far less profound and thorough than Cai Yuanpei's view. He saw that Cai Yuanpei had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to say gloomily: "Then you say, as long as I can do it, I will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

"It's not so strict, it's just me a student. I want to entrust it to you. Cai Yuanpei hurriedly stopped Zhang Yuanji and said the most important thing.

"Your students?" Zhang Yuanji was a little confused.

"Yes. My students. People are still very small. Only about ten years old. His elder brother both attended the middle school of Nanyang College. If I go to Hangzhou, I will also ask Brother Xiaozhai to supervise his schoolwork. After Cai Yuanpei finished speaking, he was afraid that Zhang Yuanji would be troublesome, so he said: "Actually, as long as you look at it for two or three days, someone will come to pick him up in a few days." ”

After Cai Yuanpei finished meeting Zhang Yuanji, he met Jiang Weiqiao and Yu Huizu again, he looked at the two and said, "I went to Hangzhou this time, and I won't come back in a short time." The Education Association and Tianzi will have to worry more about you. ”

Yu Huizu looked at him and said, "Is it really to the point where you have to go?" ”

"Hmm. Hangzhou is in jeopardy, I should go. Cai Yuanpei said, and then asked: "Duanfang has increased the price of salt several times, and also ordered Liangjiang and other places not to sell monosodium glutamate and other things, does it have a great impact?" ”

Seeing that Cai Yuanpei didn't talk about going to Hangzhou, but talked about business matters, Yu Huizu felt that he had made up his mind, so he had to sigh and said: "The impact is very great, the sales of MSG in Liangjiang suddenly plummeted by 40%, and there are rumors in Nanjing that you will get plague if you eat MSG, and it is estimated that they made it up." Soap doesn't sell well either. But now we are talking about cooperation with some people, that is, we will produce raw materials, they will set up factories, and in the future, we will only sell oil and caustic soda to them, and let them make soap and sell soap. ”

Hearing that Yu Huizu had a way here, Cai Yuanpei was a little happier, and asked again: "What about the Ma'anshan Iron Works and Tonghua?" Did the Manchus do anything? ”

Duanfang sent a message, saying that the Ma'anshan Iron Works was not allowed to build 100,000 tons, but a 200,000-ton large iron plant, and as for the railways and coal mines supporting the iron works, they were all joint ventures with Huizhou businessmen, and he was afraid that he would not be able to move. He wanted to move in Tonghua, but he asked the Americans, and we were tied up with the local gentry over there, so he couldn't move. Speaking of business matters, Yu Huizu's expression became solemn, but in order not to worry Cai Yuanpei, he could only pick some good ones.

"Why did the end side agree to build an iron plant?" Cai Yuanpei was still curious about this and asked again.

"Although Duanfang is vicious, he is still open-minded, and knows that the construction of this iron plant will be of great benefit to the country and himself, so he will agree to build it; Moreover, now the price of iron is low, the cost of the new factory has just been very high, the first few years is a bottomless pit, a bad good loss, Hanyang is like this, not to build this iron plant he is worried that our money will be used to make an uprising, built in name of ours, but in essence a holy decree will become the Qing Dynasty, and finally there is one, but I have recently thought hard to learn, this end of the party has always been pro-German, at that time the iron factory originally wanted to order the United States machine, but he strongly advocated the use of Germany, I see when he went to Germany last time, He must have promised something to the Germans, if the iron works were not built here, he would not be able to step down on the Germans' side. So ......"

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's suppression of Tianzihao became more and more heavy, but after careful study, Ma'anshan, Tonghua, monosodium glutamate, soap, shortening, soybean cake and coal mine, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to move Ma'anshan, monosodium glutamate, soap and Changxing coal mine. Among them, the iron factory does not say that it can be done well. Without a few years of running-in, the cost can't be lowered, and it's useless to move; MSG and soap were the most damaged, but because the sales network had penetrated into the towns and villages, and the Manchus had no quality supervision bureau, the impact was there, but not fatal; As for the Changxing Coal Mine, now the businessmen know that Tianzihao and Fuxing will be implicated. It's a bit of a water dog, and I'm afraid that all the shares in the coal mine will be sold.

Hearing that what Yu Huizu said made sense, Cai Yuanpei's heart relaxed a lot, he looked at Jiang Weiqiao again, and said, "In the future, the affairs of the Education Association will be entrusted to you." ”

Jiang Weiqiao looked at Cai Yuanpei's serious look, then looked at Yu Huizu, and said, "I will support the education club." But the international students spend a lot of money, and now they ...... In fact, the education association involves the gentry from all over the country, as long as the money is available, the education association will be able to operate, and I am worried that Brother Hanzhang will not be able to supply it. ”

After Jiang Weiqiao finished speaking, Cai Yuanpei had not yet spoken. Yu Huizu said: "Many factories in Tianzihao are listed in the United States, but it is really not good, the money from the listing and selling shares can be misappropriated, this money is really not counted, there are 10 million on the railway; In addition, the Japanese have always been very jealous of our coal mine in Tonghua. Although they now see our danger, the price of coal is extremely low. But one ton and one tael can still be earned, and by then, selling four million tons of coal a year can also make up for the lost money. ”

Jiang Weiqiao only frowned when he heard that he was rich, and Cai Yuanpei was extremely surprised when he heard that he was one or two, and said, "Isn't that just more than two taels a ton of coal?" ”

"Yes, the Japanese offered four yen a ton. After accounting, it is only two taels or three dollars a ton, which is not high, and it is two taels lower than today's market price, and the contract will be signed as soon as 100 million tons are signed. Yu Huizu looks full of energy, but his heart is very heavy, during this time he will automatically wake up at five o'clock in the morning every day, he can't sleep, every day when he hears the news that he is suppressed here and where he is boycotted, he has a feeling that he has been amputated. And now the businessmen in Shanghai know that the backstage of the Tianzi brand has fallen, and many people want to come to make a profit, if it were not for the Ningbo businessmen who have always held together, and the Americans have supported it, I am afraid that the Tianzi brand will really be robbed.

"I don't know anything about business, but now in this situation, stability is the key, and you must not rush and gamble. It has always been extremely taboo against Japanese people, and it is better to be careful when doing business with them. "Cai Yuanpei can teach, but he can't do business and fight at all, but now everything is pressing on him, so he has to carry it," and the education association, whether it is merged into the Manchu school or independent, the Fazheng School is the first thing to maintain, this is the foundation of our future governance of the country, and before the accident, the agricultural school that is ordered to be run must also be run as well as possible, which is extremely important; Then there are those two universities, whether in name or in substance, we can make concessions to foreigners, as long as the students in them can learn and the scale of the school can be expanded, then it will work; In addition to Gengzi's refund, the rest depends on the chapter, the more money is more, the less money is less, the Westerners say that Rome was not built in a day, and the same is true of China, and they actually think that once the revolution is successful, everything is ready, I think it is too difficult......; Finally, if there is no money for middle schools and elementary schools in various places, then they should maintain the current scale, even if they have no money, they cannot charge more, which is not only related to the reputation of the Education Association, but also related to the reputation of the Revival Association......

Facing Jiang Weiqiao and Yu Huizu, Cai Yuanpei nagged for more than an hour before finishing the matter. In the evening, he called Mu Xiangyao over again, but as soon as Mu Xiangyao came, Cai Yuanpei looked at him for a long time and didn't speak, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Has Liu Guanghan found it?" ”

Mu Xiangyao shook his head: "He has already hid in Jiangning." ”

"I really don't care about people!" Cai Yuanpei has to sigh every time he talks about Liu Guanghan, thinking that when he was in Shanghai, this Liu Guanghan and his wife He Zhen, because of their fierce advocacy of revolution, were called Proudhon and Sophia in the East, which is the name of Liu Guanghan, and it is also because of the determination to change the revolution from Liu Shipei to Liu Guanghan, but now it is extremely ironic to read, no matter how many revolutionary articles are not as good as a famous name in the Manchu court.

"People have been transferred from the northeast, they won't live long, and Ying Guixin is still there." The people from the Northeast that Mu Xiangyao said were actually special shooters like Bai Ru, and Xiao Jinfeng and Zhang Zongchang, who plagued the Fuxing Army back then, were all dealt with by them.

"Yes." Cai Yuanpei nodded, "There are also Xiao Xu and Uncle Mei to protect." Especially Uncle Mei will be released from prison in two days, although he will be released from prison. But because he was expelled by the Ministry of Industry, he couldn't stay in the Shanghai Concession. I have already booked a ticket for him to go to the United States, and you must escort him on the ship at that time, and my student, the family had promised him to go abroad to study, and he would also be on the ship, and he would also take care of him. ”

"Understood!" Mu Xiangyao said in a deep voice. "But what about the other traitors?"

"Hey......" Cai Yuanpei felt very distressed when he heard the traitor, and now the parliament is open. The general trend is in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the arrested members have all defected, and after their own reports, the organizations in Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces have been completely destroyed, and some people in the newspapers have published newspapers every day to withdraw from the revival association. "Shape shì caused. These thousands of people will never be killed. Get rid of Liu Guanghan and his wife, and there are some traitors who are willing to be minions and tigers, so let's stop for a while. As soon as the Manchu Congress opened this time, the results were immediate, and the real revolution and the fake revolution were immediately distinguished. Let's come back. ”

"Understood. Mr! When Mu Xiangyao saw Cai Yuanpei mention Yang Rui, his heart sank a little, and he searched all the places that could be searched, and he only felt that Mr. was afraid of ...... this time

After simply explaining the things in Shanghai, Cai Yuanpei got on a cruise ship to Hangzhou overnight. As soon as he left, Chen Qimei knew. "Are you really gone?" He asked Wu Naiwen.

"Really gone. The lights in the house didn't come on all night. He must have gone to Hangzhou when he left Shanghai at this time, and it seems that those articles we wrote in the newspaper worked! Wu Naiwen knew Chen Qimei's calculations, compared with the assassination of Cai Yuanpei, it was the best policy to drive Cai Yuanpei to Hangzhou, which was about to be occupied by the Qing army.

"It's good to go! I knew he was going back. Chen Qi said with a smile: "This also saves us from doing it, but in the past few days, we have to publicize in the newspaper that Cai Yuanpei went to Hangzhou and vowed to live and die with Hangzhou City, so that he has no way out." and Hangzhou Zhantang also wants to let him find a way to make trouble, anyway, it is better to let Cai Yuanpei die in Hangzhou. ”

Chen Qimei was happy, and Wu Naiwen was also happy. He said again: "Then the patrol room and the West Prison are going to do something to kill Wang Jitong and Zhang Taiyan?" When all these leaders of the Revival Society are dead, then Mr. Nakayama will be the one everyone expects. ”

"Wang Ji and we don't care, naturally someone will deal with it, and once he is sentenced, it will be at least ten years." Chen Qimei calculated all these people in the Fuxing Association, and felt that the most taboo was Zhang Taiyan, so she said: "Zhang Taiyan will be released from prison on the 29th of this month according to his sentence, that is, two days later. This person is very famous because of Su Bao's case, so it is better to kill him first. You go to the West Prison and take a look at the terrain, and he'll kill him as soon as he comes out!" ”

Cai Yuanpei took an American ship to Shaoxing, in fact, before he arrived in Shaoxing, he received a telegram from the Fuxing Association to occupy Jiaxing, he was not worried or happy about this, only when he landed on the shore, he saw the dock crowded with welcoming people, and saw the big characters "President Cai vows to live and die with Hangzhou!" These made his heart stir, he really wanted to live and die with Hangzhou.

"Sir, why are you here?!" Zhong Mei, the governor of the military government, stood at the front of the crowd, followed by his cousin Cai Guoqing, Tao Chengzhang, Qiu Jin, Xie Zhangtai, as well as Hu Hanmin of the League of Brothers, Zhang Baixiang of the Elders' Association and others.

"Why can't I come?" Cai Yuanpei replied, and then he looked at the others who greeted him, and said loudly: "The people are here to share the weal and woe with everyone. Now the people of the whole of China are opposing us and accusing us of causing chaos in the country, especially those members of the Zhejiang Provincial Assembly, who have fled to Shanghai, frequently attacked in the newspapers that revival will bring disaster to the country and the people, and poison Zisang. Why is this happening? Why did they smile at us in the past, but now they turn against us? Because they have a different position from us, because they are all rich people, it doesn't matter to them whether the revolution is revolutionary or not, but once we join the revolution, we will be unswerving, we will not compromise, we will fight the Manchus to the end, we must drive Aixin Jueluo down from the throne, we must drive down those banner people who ride on the heads of the Han people, and we must drive down those dog officials who can only flatter and only enrich their own pockets. We want to overthrow this decadent dynasty, restore the old rivers and mountains, and build a new China......"

Perhaps stimulated by the revolution, Cai Yuanpei, who is usually gentle and elegant, became extremely passionate, his voice was not loud, but his words spread far away in this gloomy afternoon, even. The soldiers standing on the outskirts didn't know what he was talking about, but they stomped and applauded every time they heard him say something. They have been infected by this intense atmosphere.

After a short stay in Shaoxing, Cai Yuanpei was escorted by everyone across the Qiantang River, and only when he arrived at the Hangzhou General's Mansion did Zhong Mei have time to report the military situation to him. "Sir, Hangzhou is too dangerous. You shouldn't come. Leaving aside others, when Cai Yuanpei was alone, Zhong Mei said eagerly.

"Aren't you here? Now that the Qing army is pressing the border, I am here to cheer you up. "Although I don't understand military affairs. But Cai Yuanpei still understands the sinister nature of Hangzhou, but he still feels that he should come.

"But ......" Zhong Mei was very anxious, although Jiaxing was taken at dawn, but the casualties of the troops were not small, and many recruits, including some veterans, were also new to the battle formation, and they suffered a big loss due to lack of experience.

"Don't." Cai Yuanpei said: "What's going on in Jiaxing." Has the Qing army been mobilized by us? ”

As soon as he asked the key question, Zhong Mei's head exploded, and he shook his head and said, "Not yet." Maybe the Manchus have not yet received the news of the occupation of Jiaxing, or the commander of the army is still asking the officials above, but they still haven't moved anyway. ”

In the past, Cai Yuanpei, under Mu Xiangyao's explanation, also understood that the key to this battle plan was whether the sixth and ninth towns were led to Songjiang by Zhong Guanghe's department. Only if they are led to Songjiang can the revival army eat fast and slowly, and now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not moving, it is very likely that the plan will fall through. "If the Manchu Qing Dynasty doesn't chase Zhong Guanghe, go south directly. So how should we defend our side? ”

"As long as they have a town going south, it's not a matter of how we defend it. Instead, it was a matter of withdrawing directly to Yanzhou. "No battle plan is foolproof. If the Manchu Qing could not be transferred, the reserve plan was to retreat westward.

Cai Yuanpei frowned when he heard this, and said, "Is it really so strict?" Does it have to be withdrawn? ”

"Yes. Mr! If the new army of the Association goes south, we will not be able to hold it. "Zhong Mei has been worrying about this issue for the past few days, and whether Hangzhou can hold it depends on the actions of the Qing army." In fact, in the past half a month, so many recruits can be recruited, and the most important thing is that most of the recruits are homeless, and what these homeless people want is to be fed. If it is really according to the standard, there are 3,000 qualified in it, it is not bad. In addition, these people have not completed their training at all, and they will never be able to defend the city by relying on them. ”

Zhong Mei was saying that he couldn't hold it, and the voice of staff officer Zhou Sisi came from outside: "Bu Jin, this Hangzhou can be defended!" ”

Zhou Sixu had just received the telegram that the Qing army was moving eastward, and rushed over to report, he saw Cai Yuanpei in surprise, and said after saluting: "Hello sir!" ”

Cai Yuanpei heard him say that Hangzhou could hold it, so he said, "What's the matter?" One will say that it can be kept, and the other will say that it can't be kept. ”

"Sir, I said that I should stay because the Qing army has already moved eastward. The Sixth Town and the Ninth Town in Pingwang were opened. It looks like they're going to chase the First Brigade. Zhou Sisi's face was full of joy and handed over the message. Radio is the biggest advantage of the Fuxing Army, and at the same time, with the scouts coming from the northeast, the reconnaissance force on the Zhejiang side has been greatly strengthened.

"Good!" Zhong Mei only felt that the big stone in his heart had landed, as long as the sixth and ninth towns went east, the tenth town would be easy to deal with.

Hangzhou is happy here, but the end of the new Shanghai is not happy, he received the news that Jiaxing was occupied in the middle of the night, and the chaotic party entered Songjiang eastward, "This revival will be to hit Shanghai?!" Duan Fang exclaimed after reading the message.

"I don't think so." Lao Naixuan's beard seemed to grow longer and longer, and he had read the telegram before Duanfang, and he had a plan in his heart.

"Oh......" Duan Fang looked at Lao Naixuan with sleepy eyes. Please also ask for your advice. ”

Lao Naixuan hurriedly said politely, and finally said: "Dong Weng, the thief army disregards the nest like this and goes straight to Songjiang, I'm afraid it's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." And I also heard that the thief Cai Yuanpei went to Hangzhou, if the ninth town does not go to Songjiang, but goes south to Hangzhou......"

Lao Naixuan's meaning stopped when he arrived, and Duan Fang also thought carefully about the significance of this revival meeting's move, he couldn't think of what the revival would give up Hangzhou and take Shanghai for, he only felt that Lao Naixuan was right, but he said: "If the ninth town goes south, what will happen to Shanghai?" If you lose, it's ......."

"Dong Weng, there are many patrol battalions in Shanghai, and there are also many foreigners' troops. Even if you lose the county seat in Shanghai, you can quickly take it back. And on the Hangzhou side, the thief army is extremely weak, and the ninth town can not only break Hangzhou City by going south, but if it is faster, it is estimated that it can also catch the thief Cai Yuanpei, which is the work of breaking the enemy! Lao Naixuan saw the situation thoroughly, and only thought about offering advice and inviting merit for Duanfang, he saw that Duanfang was not moved by his words, his heart moved, and then said: "Dong Weng, if you are afraid of blame in the palace, you can declare to the outside that you will coexist with Shanghai City, and the most favorite courtier in the palace will live and die outside the degree. ”

"But what if... What if the Renaissance Army does attack the city? Duan Fang was actually worried that he would be blamed by Guangxu for losing Shanghai, but Lao Naixuan's method was good, but he put him in danger.

"Dong Weng, don't worry about this, the county town of Shanghai is within the range of the cannons of the foreigners' warships, and with the cannons of the foreigners, the thieves will only occupy half of the city at most, and Dong Weng will definitely be unharmed." Lao Naixuan is indeed confident.

"No damage is good, no damage is good." There is no danger, Duan Fang kept nodding, and thought that this was a good opportunity to gain fame, and immediately said: "Then immediately send a telegram to the Ninth Town, tell them not to chase the Fuxing Army, and the whole town will immediately turn around and go south and go straight to Hangzhou." Also, tomorrow I will go to some newspaper reporters and tell them that Ben Shuai will live and die together in Shanghai! ”
