At seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, the wind and rain were cloudy and thundering.
The student members all arrived early, the upstairs bedroom looked very big, but dozens of people went in and it seemed very crowded, in order to keep it secret, the doors and windows of the room were closed, but fortunately it was raining outside, it was not very hot, everyone sat tightly on the bench and listened to Yang Rui talk about the revolutionary task.
"Comrades," Yang Rui was very unaccustomed to using this word in the face of this group of students, not long ago, they were still called classmates, and they were still sitting in the classroom listening to their lectures carefully, but now they have become their own comrades - comrades who have thrown their heads and spilled their blood. He paused, calmed his mind and continued: "Why did we already talk about the revolution last night, but whose life is the revolution? How to revolutionize? This is the first question we need to understand before we act. We're going to talk about that tonight. From a historical point of view, revolution has always been bloody, of course, this is different from Tan Citong's bloodshed of changing the law, the bloodshed of revolution is to make the enemy bleed, and in the process we ourselves will bleed. But who is our enemy? It is very sad that we have many enemies, and the first big enemy is the foreigners, who have carved up the whole world, and now there is only China left, although they do not have a clear partition, but they have turned into spheres of influence. For example, the Yangtze River basin is now owned by the British, the Liangguang is French, the Shandong and Yellow River valleys are occupied by the Germans, and the northeast is occupied by Russia. Soon, it won't be long before Japan and Russia will fight for the Northeast this time next year......
…… Our second enemy is the Manchu court, this mediocre court has no way to lead China forward, not to mention the low-level officials are corrupt and ignorant, that is, those upper-class Manchus are completely puppets of foreigners in China, on the one hand, they say that they want China to be rich and strong, on the other hand, they want to make the country permanent and prosperous, such a mentality is not able to govern the country, but we must be careful with this enemy, before we have the strength to take over the whole of China, this court still can not be chaotic. Northeast China, Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet are very dangerous places, and once there is civil strife in the center, it is very likely that they will become independent or be divided by others. We have 40,000 people in China, the United States is about the same size as us, with a population of just over 70 million, and Russia, which has the largest population among foreigners, is only more than 10,000, less than 20,000. If the Northeast, Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet are gone, if you look at the map, how much will we have left in China? The purpose of our revolution is to make the people's lives better, but if a revolution makes the country smaller than the Manchu Dynasty, it will be a sinner for the ages......
…… Our third enemy is ourselves, or our culture and traditions, the reason why China has come to this point, our culture is problematic, not to mention anything else, just since the Song Dynasty, the martial spirit of the whole nation is gone, society is the world of literati and writers, as long as poetry and writing are good, you can be an official,...... And there is also the tradition of infighting, Zhejiang and Zhejiang together, Jiangsu and Jiangsu together, it is the same Jiangsu, Suzhou and Suzhou are close, Nanjing and Nanjing are close, everyone knows the small family, does not know everyone, only knows the region, does not know the country. …… Today, everyone's revolution is only for the country, not for themselves, but after the success of the revolution in the future, some people will inevitably begin to be proud of their achievements, even if they are not like this, their families and relatives will also come to intercede, fight the autumn breeze, and do favors. These are all things that our culture is not good about, and they are all places where we want to revolution......"
After talking about the long-term goals, the next step is the near-term ones. Military academies should be put into operation immediately, and these students, regardless of whether they are suitable or not, must first go to military academies, and then look at the table to classify them, and those who are suitable for joining the army will be assigned other posts. Wang Jitong announced the next task: "All members are ready to leave the school from now on and leave Shanghai on the 4th of next month." "After all, I am still a student, and I don't have a strong sense of discipline, so as soon as I said this, everyone coaxed, and the room began to make a commotion. Wang Jitong didn't pursue too much, and waited for the student's voice to be quieter and continued: "All members will study in the military academy, and those who pass will be sent to the Northeast after one year." ”
As soon as the words fell, the students roared again, only this time with applause, as if the wind, rain and thunder outside were covered by the warm applause. Originally, many of these students were volunteers who rejected Russia, and it was their dream to go north to reject Russia and sacrifice their lives for the country. Wang Jitong saw that they were so excited, so he had to wait for them to pass off. Yang Rui is very aware of the importance of the Northeast, thinking of the Russo-Japanese War half a year later, he hopes to let the Fuxing Society gain a foothold in the Northeast first, but he has not thought about what it can be like there, anyway, in the future, if he occupies the Northeast, he will definitely not be without resistance. As for the place of revolutionary uprising, it is still the best place of the two lakes, the two rivers, Fujian and Zhejiang, and there are many revolutionary parties in the two lakes area in my memory, especially Hunan, and I remember that the Huaxing Association is from Hunan, and if there is a conflict with them, then the focus should be on Nanjing.
After the students were excited, they also fell silent for a while. Wang Jitong was expressionless, and then announced the relevant matters: "All members must report to the Shunfeng Hotel on Baoshan Street before 6 p.m. on June 3, and hold a meeting at 8 p.m. to make final arrangements." This time when we go home for the Dragon Boat Festival, we should arrange our personal affairs, and only bring clothes and books for personal belongings, and do not carry the rest of the things......"
The meeting didn't end until a quarter past nine o'clock in the evening, and the students were very excited to go back, so that Yang Rui had to emphasize the discipline of confidentiality again, for fear that they would be excited after they went back. After the students left, the bedroom felt very empty, Zhong Guanguan didn't have any energy at all today, he had been thinking about the former Ming sect room that Yang Rui said in the morning, and after closing the door, he asked eagerly: "Actually, what is going on with the former Ming sect room you said in the morning?" ”
Yang Rui pulled them to discuss how to deal with this matter, and said: "I know where the clan of the former Ming is, but I don't know if they can help our revolution. If so, then we'll bring them out, and if not, don't mention it. ”
Zhong Guanguan has always wondered whether the former Ming clan has this problem, and there is no question of whether he wants to or not; Wang Jitong was different, he didn't know the news before, and now he was surprised when he heard it. Hearing Yang Rui's question, he didn't think about it, after all, he studied mathematics, and rational thinking dominated. After thinking about it, he said: "Really invite the former Ming clan out, it is a banner of the revolution, it is very appealing to scholars, let alone the people in the countryside, you tell them that the revolution can't be understood at all, but as long as you say that the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are restored, then they will understand immediately." Besides, today, the Manchu Qing people have lost their hearts, although the new deal is promoted, but the more new deals, the more taxes, the more scrapes, as long as this flag is a tree, then the world will gather to respond, and the Manchu Qing will be overthrown just around the corner. However, after the success of the revolution, there will be a struggle between us and the imperial power, and the previous help is expected to soon become an obstacle, and even disputes will break out, which will be very detrimental to the revolution. ”
Wang Jitong's statement is extremely correct, the revolution and the imperial power can be in the same boat, but after the success of the revolution, the two will go their separate ways. Zhong Guanguan also understood this meaning, but he had a different opinion, "In this world, the progress of civil rights and the decline of imperial power are already the general trend of the world, and if this former Ming clan really ignores the general trend and vainly tries to restore the imperial power, it will definitely be abandoned by the people of the world." Just like Japan, although there is an emperor, this emperor is also a puppet, and he is more just worshipped by the people. Japan can do the same, and so can we in China. What's more, this will be of great help to the beginning of the revolution, as long as this clan is genuine, and there is a genealogy and seal letter of the clan, I can pull up a group of people immediately when I return to Zhejiang. You may not know that there are so many parties in Zhejiang, and the four words of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty alone can pull up more than 100,000 people. ”
It can be seen that Zhong Guanguan still has a lot of feelings for Qianming, and Yang Rui and Wang Jitong don't understand these reasons very well. In fact, they are not from Zhejiang, they don't know the history of the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, the most tragic and longest-lasting province in history to resist the Qing army, Zhejiang is one of them, she is the latest province conquered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it has not been completely surrendered until the early years of Kangxi. In such a long period of resistance, there are many heroes of Zhejiang's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, the Confucian general Zhang Cangshui of the Southern Ming Dynasty is from Ningbo, this person also resisted the Qing Dynasty for nearly 20 years after the death of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he is still insisting on resisting the Qing Dynasty after Wu Sangui killed Emperor Yongli. These histories had a great impact on the whole of Zhejiang, and although many anti-Qing deeds could not be written down due to the suppression of the Qing court, they could still be passed on by word of mouth. In later generations, the most fierce anti-Qing organizations were the Guangfu Society, and most of its backbones were from Zhejiang, and these revolutionary parties from Zhejiang were the most fierce anti-Qing organizations.
Seeing that Zhong Guanguan said it with such certainty, Yang Rui and Wang Jitong were unmoved, what they were worried about was this appeal. It was very helpful in the early stage, but no one knows whether there would be any moths in the later stage of the revolution. It's a bomb, and if it's not used well, it's going to hurt yourself.
Yang Rui waited for Zhong Sightseeing to calm down and said, "Xianfeng, Xiao Xu and I both have the same opinion. They all believed that the clan of the former Ming Dynasty was helpful to the revolution, but it was also disadvantageous. We have to come up with a way to get rid of the disadvantages so that we can invite them out. Seeing what Zhong Guanguan wanted to say, Yang Rui stopped: "Xianfang, our revolution is for the country and the people, not for any dynasty or emperor." The reason why I raise this question is that I want this former Ming clan to be helpful to the revolution, and I hope that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty is ousted, there will be no chaos in the world. If this emperor ascends to the throne and takes power after the success of the revolution, I might as well make a revolution myself and find him to do something. ”
Yang Rui's words silenced Zhong Guanguan, but after a while, he said: "Actually, you see, we are afraid that the emperor will return to the throne after the revolution, and the most worried is that China will become another Qing Dynasty." As long as he has no power, it is not impossible to have a constitutional monarchy. ”
Yang Rui knows what a constitutional monarchy is, but this method is not so safe in China, Japan is a constitutional monarchy, although the Japanese emperor is a pretense and has no real power, but in the time of Emperor Hirohito, the lower-class fart people and the imperial Taoist faction used guò to go down to the top, mutiny and assassination and other methods to mess up Japan, so that Japan eventually became the ruler of the faction. During World War II, if the Japanese cabinet was really at the helm, Japan would not have lost its mind. Yang Rui shook his head and said: "A constitutional monarchy is not advisable in China, the Chinese people have not yet opened up, and there are thousands of years of imperial traditions, there are slaves everywhere, and it is easy to turn the tables when you meet an emperor with skills, and the cabinet will definitely be a decoration at that time." We must have a republic, but this republic cannot be equated with the United States, but with a Chinese-style republic. ”
Wang Jitong also nodded when he heard this, and said, "I'm also worried about this. It's just that we are afraid that the emperor will return to power after he ascends the throne, but what if we don't let him ascend the throne? From the very beginning, it was agreed that he would not ascend the throne and only nominally call for revolution, so there was no way for him to return to power from a legal point of view. ”
Zhong Guanguan said: "I don't think this is okay, who doesn't want to be the emperor?" And there are countless people with a clear heart, and the greatest contribution to the establishment is the greatest, what if these people must let him ascend the throne when the time comes? Under Yang Rui's strict words, Zhong Guanguan's head finally stopped hot, and he calmed down and thought about it.
"It's fine." Yang Rui's rhythm also kept up, and the more he thought about it, the more he understood. As long as we suppress him for thirty or forty years, and the country is a republican system, then when the wisdom of the people in the world has been opened, it will be impossible for him to be the emperor; However, we can use him to stabilize the situation after the revolution and have time to gradually reform the country, which is good no matter how you look at it, at least with him in the future, no one will come out to be emperor. As for the control of him, if it really can't be done, we can learn from Cixi and find a child to be the clan, so that it will be easier for us to control the situation. The more Yang Rui thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible, and suddenly wondered if he was the reincarnation of Cao Cao, so he liked to play puppet games.
Wang Jitong didn't care what Yang Rui was thinking, he felt that this was still good, and said: "This is the best way I can think of right now, I have no opinion." In order to get the Manchus out of power as soon as possible, everyone will do Cao Cao ......"
Before Wang Ji finished saying the same sentence to Cao Cao, the white light suddenly rose, and a few thunderbolts suddenly broke out in the sky, and the rumbling thunder shook through the thick walls of the roof and exploded directly in their hearts, startling the three of them. But then Yang Rui laughed, the sky thundered, isn't this the prelude to changing the world, since it is a revolution, then it is necessary to change the world, but also to change history, so that the storm will come more violently!
Unlike Yang Rui's smile, Wang Jitong looked solemn, clasped his palms together, and seemed to be praying in a low voice; Zhong Guanguan was panicked at first, but when he saw Yang Rui's smile and Wang Jitong's solemnity, he calmed down, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had accepted the baptism of heaven and earth. After a long time, he said: "Brother Chengcheng, now you should talk about the former Ming Sect." ”
