Zhang Xingyan's aphasia made the send-off end quickly, although the wharf was in the concession, but it was a place where people and snakes were mixed, and the big figures of the two revolutionary organizations were here, and there was no room for the slightest mistake. In particular, both sides had extremely important tasks on their bodies, and everyone went back after explaining some important things.
After Cai Yuanpei and Huang Yuwu met, they got on the passenger ferry to Wuchang together. It's just that the cabins of the two are different, Cai Yuanpei is in the first class on the passenger ship, and Huang Huangwu is in the third class under the passenger ship, and the two separated when they got on the ship. Under the operation of Yang Rui, the Fuxing Association operates as meticulously as the company in later generations, and the regulations of the business travelers are detailed, because the distance is long, so Cai Yuanpei lives in a first-class cabin. Soon after the establishment of the Huaxing Society, and the uprising was imminent, although most of the gun problem was solved, but the funds were still tight, in order to raise funds, Huang Xuanwu sold the 300 stone good land left by his ancestors, and the other backbones of the association were also bankrupt and borrowed debts. In order to save money, this time Huang Xuanwu is a qiē from Jane, so I bought a third-class cabin, saying that the third-class is actually a bunk, and there is no bed to find an empty space with a bed.
The difference between the same revolution is so big, Cai Yuanpei saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart, it will take at least half a month from Shanghai to Hankou, and it is really hard to live in Xiacang, so he hurriedly went to make up a first-class ticket, and then settled down in a cabin with Huang Xuanwu in a no-man's cabin. Cai Yuanpei looked at him and said, "Keqiang is too hard like this. If all of us Chinese were like you, the national situation would not have reached such a point. ”
Huang Xuanwu was willing to listen to this. Seeing that there was no one left and right, he laughed in a low voice: "Mr. Cai may not know that the funds for this event are insufficient, and everyone in the meeting is ruined for the country." It doesn't matter if the cabin is not a cabin, we just want the revolution to succeed, and we don't hesitate to pay our lives for it. Huang Xiaowu was originally a person who didn't like to talk much, and this statement was just that he was revealing his heart on behalf of Huaxing.
Cai Yuanpei knew very well the bloody spirit of the revolutionaries, and the same was true of the Revival Association, but the hot-blooded elements in the association all went to the northeast to fight with Yang Rui. He said calmly: "The Fuxing Society feels that the conditions for the uprising are not very mature under the current circumstances, so there is little support, and Keqiang needs to forgive me more." ”
Huang Yuwu originally wanted to communicate with Cai Yuanpei about this matter. Wang Jitong is a rigid and rational person, and he has always only talked about the results and not the reasons, and then asked that it means that there will be discipline in the revival, so that Yang Dusheng has been saying that the revival will be a fake revolution. And this time he happened to meet Cai Yuanpei, knowing that he was kind and one of the people in charge of the meeting, he wanted to start from him to persuade the Fuxing Society to join the uprising. "Then when does Mr. Cai think the right time is the right time for an uprising?" He asked, retreating.
"This," Cai Yuanpei looked around and no one said, "We mean to wait for the big changes in the palace...... For example, the Queen Mother ascended to heaven......" He said the last few words very quietly, so that Huang Xuanwu was very close to understand it.
Cai Yuanpei's statement was completely denied in his heart, and he immediately asked: "But if this matter doesn't come out...... How long will I have to wait? ”
Cai Yuanpei actually doesn't know much about Yang Rui's base model, and he has always advocated education to save the country. The reason why Huang Xuanwu wanted to act after Cixi's death was also because he read the article in Yang Rui's monthly newspaper. At that time, after reading it, he thought that Cixi was already almost seventy years old, and it was estimated that he would not be a few years away from death, but when Huang Huangwu asked him like this today, he couldn't answer. "In the afternoon, everyone in the revival committee has a division of labor, and the people are only responsible for education, and they really don't know about the major affairs of the military state." Cai Yuanpei couldn't say anything good and had to tell the truth, "This time your meeting is going to do something, several people in the association think that it is too risky, and the success or failure is in the number of five or five, so it is better to decide not to intervene, and only send firearms to show support." ”
Cai Yuanpei's honesty made Huang Xuanwu a little speechless. He said: "I will have contacted tens of thousands of parties to raise things, as long as the flag of righteousness is raised, all people will respond." After the difficulty, the first province of Huxiang will be occupied, and then the other provinces will rise up against the Qing Dynasty, and the success of the revolution will be just around the corner. ”
Huang Xiaowu said impassionedly, if Cai Yuanpei had applauded it before, he would have echoed it with all his might, but now he has more important things to do. Looking at Huang Xuanwu's excited expression, he said earnestly: "Keqiang." We all think that only the revolution can save China, but the revolution also has a priority and urgency, and the Revival Association has only been established for one year, and all affairs are being prepared. If the Manchu court really collapsed so easily, the predecessors would have already succeeded. In today's China, there are external humiliations and internal troubles, but the people's wisdom has not yet been opened, and how difficult it is to succeed in the revolution. ”
Huang Xuanwu said: "Mr. Cai's words are reasonable. It's just that since the First Sino-Japanese War, the country's situation has been declining, and now that the Russian affair has risen again, China should have the disaster of carving up, how can our generation sit still and wait? ”
Looking at the sad look on his face, Cai Yuanpei seemed to see an old man from before. He couldn't sit still, so he stood up to the window and pushed open the window, at this time the passenger ship had already opened, and the river breeze poured in from the window, and the room suddenly became cool. He had also thought about Huang Huangwu's problem before, but later he joined the Revival Association to be in charge of education, and in various affairs, he forgot for a while this anxiety of looking at China's current situation but wanting to change it. He seemed to see from Huang Xuanwu the kind of Ling Ran who looked at death as if he were at home, although he was so popular at that time that he didn't have the opportunity to visit, but he admired him very much in his heart.
"If you have the intention to kill the thief, you can't return to heaven, and you can die as you want, so quickly." Looking at the surging river being stirred up by the retrograde passenger ferry, Cai Yuanpei unconsciously read Tan Sitong's last sentence, and his heart fluctuated. "Keqiang, Tan Fushengjun is also from Hunan, right?"
Huang Wuwu didn't know why he replied, "Yes." Tan Jun is a native of Liuyang, Hunan. ”
Cai Yuanpei said again: "Do you know how the matter of Wuxu will fail? ”
Huang Xiaowu knew that what he was asking was not such a simple answer as Yuan Shikai's betrayal. So he said: "There are many reasons that the world says, but they may not be all right. Please also ask the gentleman for advice. ”
Cai Yuanpei said: "I was an official in Beijing at the time of Wuxu, and I knew a lot about the Kang Party. In the end, it was because they did not first cultivate innovative talents, but wanted to take power with a small number of people, and they were finally counted by the old party. Today's revolution is also like the restoration of the past, how many people really understand the way of revolution? Not to mention your association, I think there are only a few dozen people in the revival association who really understand the revolution, so you can imagine how many people there are in the whole country. Without the support of talents, and the wisdom of the people is not fully developed, if the revolution is not successful, then it is enough, if the revolution succeeds, then what can those conservative people do? Is it another revolution? ”
Cai Yuanpei said that he had seen the changes in the court over the years, and after Wuxu, he thought that the court had no hope, so he abandoned his position in Beijing and returned to his hometown to teach, and implemented education to save the country. Huang Wuwu actually understood what he said, but in the face of this situation, "What Mr. Cai said is very true, but Wu Wu thinks that what he did is no different from what Tan Fushengjun did back then. It is true that the move cannot be succeeded in one step, but each move will be responded to by more young people, and the Manchu court will be defeated in this move. We hope that with the blood of the revolution, we will surely awaken the patriotic heart of the people of the country, so that the revolution can succeed at an early date. ”
It is normal for the revolutionary party to have such an idea, but do those in the party also have such an idea?! Awakening the patriotic heart of the people with the blood of the revolution, but are all the people who shed blood and die really without hesitation? The ancient rebellions were all coerced, and those who raised righteousness were willing to sacrifice? Cai Yuanpei, who has always been gentle, didn't dare to ask such sharp words in person, but he knew in his heart that those who would do things would think so.
The second conversation between the Revival Society and the Huaxing Society ended in this way, which made the relationship between the members of the Huaxing Association and the Fuxing Association increasingly distant in the future. Of course, even if he knew that such a disposal would cause the result of alienation, Yang Rui would still choose to distance himself from Huaxing, and the Fuxing Society really relied on the talents cultivated from its own system, although these people may still be just child laborers working part-time in the 6-line factory, and students from various branches of the Education Association, but after a few years, they will be the real foundation of the Fuxing Society.
The passenger ferry arrived in Hankou more than ten days later, and as soon as the two got off the ship, someone came to pick them up, and it turned out that the revolutionary party on this side of Hubei had already known that Huang Huangwu had come from Shanghai, and had been waiting for it for several days. Huang Yuanwu naturally introduced Cai Yuanpei to these people, in fact, these people are all members of the science tutorial school, and most of them are soldiers of the Eighth Town Engineering Battalion of the 6th Army in Hubei. Unlike Yuan Shikai, who recruited some illiterate peasants and governed the army with power and skill, Zhang Zhidong emphasized that soldiers should be literate and wise when preparing for the establishment of the Hubei New Army.
Cai Yuanpei stayed in Wuchang for a day, and after getting acquainted with everyone in the science tutorial school, he set off for Tanzhou before Huang Xuanwu. At this time, it was close to July, although the imperial court said that Tanzhou would not open until July 1 of the Western calendar, but the foreigners' passenger ships had already been tried on the river of Tanzhou in Hankou. After arriving in Tanzhou, as soon as he got off the boat, he was taken to a courtyard, this person was a student of the former Patriotic Society, Cai Yuanpei also knew him, but he couldn't name it.
"Sir, don't guess, I'm Cheng Guangshun from the second class of the society." The student laughed. He has not seen his former classmates and friends since he arranged to come to Tanzhou, and he is very happy to meet his former husband today.
Cai Yuanpei also smiled, there are too many students, if they all remember it, they will really become immortals. He asked, "Are you alone in Tanzhou?" ”
Cheng Guangshun looked at him when he heard the words, and Cai Yuanpei immediately said: "Yes, yes." You don't sue me, you don't sue me... I was wrong in the moment. Hehe. "Although he has been in charge of the education association, before he set off, Wang Jitong can explain a lot of things he didn't know before, among which the discipline that expatriates should abide by is the focus." Tell me what you can tell me. Although he is not used to it, Cai Yuanpei fully understands the role of discipline.
Cheng Guangshun took out the information that had been prepared and began to introduce the situation of the Zhu family: "The Zhu family is now two branches, one is the elder brother Zhu Changlin, and the other is Zhu Changlin's cousin, called Zhu Qiangui. Now the patriarch of the Zhu family is Zhu Changlin, who failed repeatedly in the township examination in his early years, and was forced by his family to abandon literature and engage in business. This should be the regret of his life. There is only one Zhu family who is now famous, called Zhu Wanxu, who was a person in the 20th year of Guangxu, and is now an official in Henan...... The Zhu family has some shops in Tanzhou City, but the ancestral house is in Tangpo, which is dozens of miles away. ”
Cai Yuanpei is not interested in all kinds of information about the Zhu family, he is here to accept apprentices. He asked, "What about the student's profile?" ”
Cheng Guangshun hurriedly brought another envelope, but this time he didn't introduce it. This is Sheng Shudong's information with a secret level, and the envelope is still sealed with fire paint, which is not something that he can read at his level. He handed the envelope to Cai Yuanpei, poured another cup of tea and gently pushed it out.
Cai Yuanpei opened the envelope after inspecting the fire paint, and there were portraits and simple information of three children, one was Zhu Kuanjun, ten years old; One is Zhu Kuanhan, eight years old; One is Zhu Kuantong, seven years old. There are a few sentences of introduction under the portrait, but for fear of affecting Cai Yuanpei's judgment, the introduction is general, and the original intention of the information is to make people remember these three children rather than distinguish what the advantages and disadvantages are. After Cai Yuanpei remembered the person, he burned the things with a foreign fire, and called Cheng Guangshun in when he went out: "Where is there a shaving shop here?" I'm going to fix my head. ”
When the conference to reject Russia in April last year, Cai Yuanpei was angry and reduced his braids, but fortunately, the head left at that time was not short, and it was still relatively long in such a year. Originally, he made up his mind that he would never comb the Manchu Qing Dynasty again in his life, but for the sake of the revolution, he could only be wronged.
