"Actually, what you said is good, but I am very worried that this will be another Hongyang rebellion, and it will not be easy for the people to mobilize, and it will be even more difficult to control it." As a scholar, Wang Jitong was naturally afraid of a tsunami-like popular movement, and he only felt that once there was a "tsunami", everything on the ground would come to naught. Yang Rui, on the other hand, has more than 100 years of experience, but he understands very well what it will be like for the peasants to mobilize, and this smoky and decaying society can only be washed away by a tsunami.

"So we have to think of a good way to control it, and we are now mobilizing the people under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so we can't be too drastic, even if it is a righteous act at that time, it is necessary to have a lot of discipline and principles, Xiao Xu, don't worry." Although Yang Rui has not yet figured out what the specific strategy is to mobilize the people, he is deeply confident in this direction.

"It turned out that if you didn't turn the righteousness into a rebellion of Hongyang." After saying that, Wang Jitong laughed rarely, "Brother Ade said that we are fighting against the yellow flag under the yellow flag, and this is indeed what he said. He can see what we're up to, and it's not easy. ”

"These compradors, one is more shrewd than the other, Ade has dealt with me and knows my temper, but he also knows that I am a reasonable person, not that I am not bad at talking, so I came to question." Yang Rui remembered Yu Qiaqing's frightened look, and also laughed.

"But there are not a few compradors, what will they do in the future?" The more he dealt with the compradors, the more Wang Jitong did not understand how to deal with these people in politics, saying that they were accomplices of foreigners. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are representatives of China's industrial and commercial prosperity.

"Doesn't Tiantong Company have a foreign bank plan? With this, it doesn't matter if the comprador is not a comprador or not. Yang Rui said that before leaving, Wang Jitong came to report to him the foreign plan of Tiantong Company.

In addition to customs and foreign banks, there is also a foreign bank that cannot be ignored by foreigners, and foreign banks that sell imported goods, such as Bu Neimen, generally suppress local Chinese enterprises. On the other hand, those foreign companies engaged in export have penetrated deeply into China's export industry with the power of compradors. Take silk as an example, because it is difficult for foreigners to set up ovens in villages and towns. It was these big compradors who united with the gentry to set up baking stoves in various market towns, and the fresh cocoons were sent here, and the pupae were immediately put into the stove to extinguish the pupae, and then sold to the outside world. There is such an acquisition system with a focus on the oven. Then the silkworm cocoons can be bought into the hands of foreign banks, and foreign banks can base the output at the bottom to "make a reasonable bid", coupled with the timely tightening of the monetary base by foreign banks, the compradors are short of funds, and those silkworm farmers who want to repay the loans, under the coercion of usurers, often sell cocoons at low prices.

The Northeast is a new place, and there are no gentry. In the countryside of Kannai, various forces are intertwined. Recklessly meddling in the bottom commercial economy will inevitably cause a backlash from the gentry clans, so the economic strategy of the Kannai is the opposite of that of the Kannai, which is to go from the outside to the inside, first go abroad to check the stockings market and other local product markets, and then suddenly according to the market situation, either buy the products directly to foreign stocking factories, or directly buy factories abroad to manufacture them themselves. Anyway, it is very important to run a foreign bank by yourself.

"There are fourteen people who went out with you this time. Mu Xiangyue, Wang Fuli, Nie Yuntai, Zhu Wenqi, Liu Hongsheng, Sun Meitang, Xian Guansheng, Wu Yunchu, Chen Tiaofu, Gu Zhaozhen, Shao Jinqing, Zhou Zongliang, Shen Zicha, Chen Wanyun. It's just that Wu Yunchu is still too young among these people, so I think he should go abroad in the future. "The management training courses in Shanghai have been cultivating business talents, and these people are the first batch of formal business talents to go abroad, and they will all be the pillars of China's foreign industries in the future. Because he robbed Wu Yunchu's heavenly kitchen, Wu Yunchu was asked by Yang Rui by name.

"As long as he's not afraid, take it with him. It doesn't matter if you're young, can you give someone someone a hand? Yang Rui took the information in Wang Jitong's hand and looked at it. Wu Yunchu is indeed too young, 91 years old, only fourteen years old. The eldest of them is Mu Xiangyue, Mu Xiangyao's younger brother, 76 years old, older than Yang Rui, and the others are about 20 years old. He flipped through the personnel information, but did not make a sound, and only after reading it all did he say: "I will stay in Japan for about half a month, so they will go directly to New York." I'll meet them again in New York. ”

Wang Jitong also knew that Yang Rui would stay in Japan for a while, so he didn't care, and said another thing, "It's done, now that the Japanese Foreign Minister has arrived in Beijing, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is negotiating the matter of Northeast China, Japan has a great appetite, and I'm afraid it won't give up." ”

"Has the gentry been mobilized in the northeast? And is that rumor out there? Before Japan negotiated with Russia, it had already deployed 600,000 troops in the northeast, and claimed to be 1.52 million to the outside world, although these were all old-fashioned reserve infantry, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still in two wars, and the panic was incomparable. At the end of last month, Zhang Rong entered Beijing and faced the saint, and he had already stated the situation in Mukden, and in the name of resisting the Japanese and Russians, he had established the autonomy of Northeast China, but nearly a million troops were in Liaoyang and other places, and these things were not listened to.

"The gentry and the common people have already mobilized, and a lot of land along the line where Japan wants to change the line has been acquired, but I am afraid that it will be useless." Wang Ji said that he understood the response to the matter very well.

"It's useless, it's just to provoke the people's anger against Japan, and before our military factory is established, the waist pole still can't be stiffened." The Americans are too soft, Yang Rui, who wanted to have a hard encounter with Japan, did not dare to make too many moves, so he could only refer to the map of the Anbong Railway in later generations, and secretly buy the land along the line, so as to create a large number of nail households when Japan changes the line in the future. "What happened to the rumors, has it reached the capital?"

It was Yang Rui's plan to use rumors to rumors, but when it came to this rumor, Wang Jitong felt weird, he said, "It has been spread to the capital, 'An Fengtong, the earth dragon moves, the eleventh emperor, and this is the end.'" 'That nursery rhyme made up by Dong Laodao is good, and now the Beijing patrol is arresting people, but it can be done, is the San Francisco earthquake you said next year accurate? ”

"Yes. It's science, and a lot of my knowledge comes from that. Mr. Moore was a scientist greater than Newton, and his notebook contains his assumptions about the San Francisco earthquake, which I believe are true. Yang Rui pushed all the qiē onto the old man Moore who had been pulled out blindly. It's a bit far-fetched, but it can only be so. "Now the Japanese have not changed the line, all they want is to keep the existing military railway. As soon as the earthquake comes next year, then Cixi will die and will not let the Japanese change the route, just with the military railway, there is not much to transport, there is no way to compete with our railway. ”

Wang Jitong shook his head. It still feels incredible, but the negotiations in Beijing are not something that can be affected by the Fuxing Association, and he glanced at Yang Rui, who didn't care. I just think this person is too weird. came silently, silently joined the Patriotic Society, and never talked about the revolution at first, and then suddenly established the Revival Association. Wang Jitong joined the Guild because of his trust in Zhong Guanguan and his anger at the Manchu court. In two years, the Revival Society has become a behemoth, and the anti-Qing is just around the corner. It's not a miracle that is, it's a miracle that was done by this man. Is this providential?

Yang Rui didn't think of Wang Jitong's thoughts, he just thought about how to set up a trap for Japan again, since the revolution, the only thing that can make him comfortable is to pit the Japanese, but unfortunately the San Francisco earthquake is too late. Otherwise, there would be no further talks about this negotiation. He thought for a while and then said: "That Dong Laodao's identity is too sensitive, I think we still have to find a big man to publicize this matter." ”

"Big shots?"

"Yes. The big man in Taoism. The Quanzhen Sect is a Tartar, isn't there still a Dragon and Tiger Mountain in Jiangxi? Can Zhang Tianshi fool out, or don't let him come forward, let his disciples come forward, and go to San Francisco to ascend the altar before the earthquake. Yang Rui's face was a little hideous when he said this, and an indescribable anger came out.

"You can send someone to Longhu Mountain to find it, but you don't know if you can't get out of the mountain. Why go to San Francisco to do the altar? ”

"Well, anyway, I don't think those foreign priests like it, and they will do everything to preach. This time, the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain was sent to the United States to take advantage of the earthquake to make things bigger, so that those Ermaozi and foreign devils who thought that God was a qiē would also be deflated. Didn't they say that God was very spiritual, and that he was not as good as the Taoist spirit of China. Yang Rui gritted his teeth, this is purely because he read a Christian report some time ago, and he was not happy for a few days after reading it, and the table in the room was split twice, and the bed was changed. In fact, Christianity was introduced in the Ming Dynasty, but there was never a lesson plan, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were lesson plans everywhere, and there were churches in counties, towns and towns, and this undisguised religious aggression made him crazy. However, he would not kill the priests and burn the churches like the Boxers, and he had another method, that is, to accurately predict earthquakes through Taoism or Buddhism - a certain work of eunuchs has records of great earthquakes in the twentieth century, which I thought was useless, but it was still good to use it to fight Christianity.

Wang Jitong didn't know why Yang Rui came up with such a strange idea, but he didn't have a good impression of Christianity, and said with a smile: "If it's accurate, then it's best to have two Taoist monks also send them, can they build an altar separately from the Taoist priest?" ”

"Haha." Yang Rui couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the appearance of a group of foreign devils wearing robes, and he was happy for a while, and said, "Okay, then go find someone, find someone." Find someone, and then we plan and plan to see how it works best. It's also time for us to go beyond the foreigners. ”

The excessive plan before leaving made Yang Rui's mood extremely happy, and the information in his hand can be used until the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, and in the past 100 years, Christianity is going to be a man with his tail between his legs. He arrived in Yokohama at the end of November. Looking at the faint scenery of the coast and mountains, Yang Rui couldn't help but think of the events of the first two years, two years ago he came alone, and walked away, and now he has thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are countless pockets of silver, and in the excitement, he hummed a certain Ming novel in the bridge section of Guangzhou, and the same pseudonym he now uses to sing the Peking Opera, "I think at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team was only opened, there were only two or three people in total, and there was no gun......"

Chen Guangshou beside him was very surprised to see Yang Rui suddenly singing Peking Opera, but he laughed when he heard this word, and many years later he wrote this plot into his memoirs, so Peking Opera, which was suppressed by Yue Opera and Kunqu Opera, and had nowhere to survive, arranged a big drama on this sentence, which was regarded as a lingering breath for a while.

After the quarantine was completed, Xie Xiaoshi was waiting on the dock, and in the crowd of "Master Wen......" he saw Yang Rui. Afraid that they would not see it, he waved his hand and shouted. However, he is still a little unaccustomed to Yang Rui's pseudonym this time - Wen Side.

Yang Rui and Xie Xiaoshi are old acquaintances, and they can be regarded as half of the countrymen. Meeting relatives very much. The group sat in a carriage and rushed to Tokyo, bored in the car, Yang Rui couldn't help but ask about the situation in Tokyo: "What is the situation in Tokyo now, are there many international students?" ”

"Too many!" Xie Xiaoshi shook his head, "It's too much." Officials say that there are more than 8,000 people, but this is only public expense. There are more self-financed students, who do not enter the school and only come for knowledge. It's not for the sake of being an official. ”

"Oh. How many such people are there? "Studying for being an official has never been liked by Yang Rui, but now there are so many people in Tokyo who are just studying for him, and he just wants to gather them for the use of the revival association.

"There are two or three thousand people, and these people are all well-off. We have mobilized them to go to Europe and the United States. But they all said that the East language was already difficult to learn, and the English was even more difficult to learn, so they didn't want to go. "The role of the Tokyo Revival Association has always been to build talents (of course, military talents are also being recruited), Tokyo has set up a preparatory class for studying in Europe and the United States very early, and the China Times often publishes some world university rankings and some world university introductions, guiding students to go to Europe and the United States, but because of the road and language, self-financed students rarely go or not. And public-funded students can't go because of the cost.

"No, they'll change their minds soon." Yang Rui thought about the imminent ban on international students. This is a good opportunity to pull people, I don't know how much I can pull without paying. "Anything else?"

"Other...... When the renaissance of the Constitution reached Tokyo, the League's newspaper scolded us for being shameless, and now Mr. Hakusui is having a headache. Hu Hanmin, Wang Zhaomin, Zhu Zhixin, Ma Junwu, and others wrote articles overnight, criticizing the Renaissance Society as a fake revolution and calling on all Renaissance members to see the despicable and shameless features of the Renaissance Society and to leave the Renaissance Society and join the League.

"The alliance will leave him alone, there are only more than a hundred people. How did others react? Yang Rui has long expected the side effects of the united front, which is actually the reason why "party building" is listed as one of the three magic weapons. "Party building" is the welding rod, welding everyone to death, no matter how you move around, the car can still drive, and the faster you drive.

"The right brother in the meeting made some speeches, and the effect was there, but it was not complete, and several people had already applied to withdraw from the club. However, when other international students learned that the Renaissance Society supported the constitution, they were very supportive, and hundreds of international students applied to join the association, and a few of them were full. Mr. Whitewater didn't know what to do with them. "After arriving in Tokyo, the prestige of the revival society has risen instead of falling, and people are coming to join the association. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Did they come on their own, or did the Manchus send them?" Yang Rui was a little strange why the Manchurians also came.

"I don't know, everyone estimates that there is a possibility of Manchu temptation, so I don't dare to make a claim." Xie Xiaoshi is also unclear about this.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, just take it in. But they have to approve of the program of the Renaissance, and if they don't, they won't be able to get in. After coming in, you can send them to study abroad. If there are a lot of people, can we also form a special team, and we can watch when the people are full of people. Yang Rui said with a smile, thinking that he could order the Manchurians to kill the Manchurians, what kind of scene would it be.

Yang Rui himself said that he was happy, but Xie Xiaoshi's cold hair next to him stood up, this time he saw Yang Rui, he only felt that it was very different from two years ago, but what was the difference, he couldn't tell, now seeing Yang Rui smile and say Watching the Manchurian kill the Manchurian, he suddenly found that Yang Rui actually had an extra murderous aura on his body. "Is that good, sir? I mean let their own people kill their own people. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, there are poor people among the Manchurians, and it's the powerful people who are really blessed. It's the most terrible thing for your own people to hate yourself, don't you know that many of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards are Mongolians? Besides, the League is a revolution, but once the political views are different, they are eager to trample us down. Hating heretics always leads to hatred of aliens. When Yang Rui spoke, he thought of another thing, that is, once he watched the Manchu and Han debates, and a Manchu actually said that he completely admitted that he was killing the Han people in Jiading and Yangzhou on the 10th day, but this is all Han people killing Han people, and it has nothing to do with the Manchu people, and he wants to take revenge and find the Han people. He was extremely impressed by this matter, and every time he thought about it, he decided that he would never have a drop of human blood on his hands in the future, but he must build a Manchurian special team to kill Manchus, and when the time comes, it must be written in the history books that this is completely Manchu killing Manchus, and has nothing to do with the Han people.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui's murderous aura made Xie Xiaoshi uncomfortable, but after a while, Yang Rui's topic turned to other things, "Xiaoshi, how are the people who came to Tokyo two months ago?" ”

"How many people?" The aura of slaughter suddenly dissipated, and the atmosphere seemed to have become a little cramped, Xie Xiaoshi didn't know Yang Rui's private affairs at all.

"Those people from Tianjin?" Yang Rui was embarrassed in his heart, he only felt that he was too ignorant, but it was not easy to say it clearly.

"Oh. The gentleman is talking about the girls. They had been practicing their guns at the Aoyama Training Ground, and they didn't know how they would react to it. Xie Xiaoshi said.

Aoyama Training Ground? Yang Rui pondered where this place was, and Chen Guangshou next to him saw this and said, "It's fifteen or sixteen miles west of Kanda District, and there was originally a Japanese military camp over there. ”

"Oh, over there." Yang Rui muttered and fell silent.

The car dealer went to the residence next to the newspaper office, Yu Youren was already waiting, he also wanted to go to Yokohama to pick up people, but considering that he was a representative of the Revival Society in Tokyo, once he went to the police station, he would have to keep an eye on it - the Japanese police have always been very concerned about foreigners, so they only waited at the residence.

"Sir." Yu Youren was very eager to see Yang Rui, after he came to Tokyo, the work was carried out well, but after the establishment of the League, the development of members was somewhat hindered, and the recent Revival Association supported the constitutionalism, which had a bad impact on the reputation of the Revival Association among the revolutionary students.

"Oh, right. It's been hard for you lately. Yang Rui said with relief.

"Hey. It's so embarrassing that I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that the members won't understand, and some things can't be said, which is really painful for me! ”

Hearing Yu Youren's bitterness, Yang Rui said with a smile: "Youren didn't feel bitter when he traveled thousands of miles from Shaanxi to Shanghai, why did he feel bitter in Tokyo." ”

Seeing Yang Rui quipping, Yu Youren could only sit on the ground in a dejected manner, he was a quick temper, not afraid of hardship, afraid of being wronged, Yang Rui saw his appearance and said again: "The Tokyo branch is mainly for winning international students, and the revolution is a domestic matter." Of the more than 10,000 international students in Tokyo today, how many are inclined to revolution? ”

"There are more than 800 people." Emphasizing numbers and surveys is the tradition of the Revival Society, and Yu Youren has been in the East for many days, and these have long been familiar to him.

"What about the students who praised the constitution?"

"More than 10,000 people."

"Is it worth losing more than 10,000 for more than 800 people? Besides, our purpose in Tokyo is to absorb talented international students, who will be the backbone of the construction of New China in the future. In other words, it doesn't matter if they join the club or not, as long as they study hard. Once the revolution succeeds, then no matter whether the banner people, Han people, or foreigners, as long as they can build New China, they will all be the pillars of the country. In fact, it doesn't matter that everyone else in Tokyo, except for those members of the non-commissioned officer school, quit the revival association. In many cases, we can't listen to the opinions of our members and go in the direction they want, we can only follow the general trend of history, which is not something that can be seen by members at the bottom. Besides, patriotism has always been the banner of the Renaissance Society, and before we held it to reject Russia, and now we hold it to establish a constitution, and there is no difference between that. ”

"Sir, aren't we full?" Yang Rui understands everyone's reasoning, but it is difficult for him to accept that he is not full.

"Who says we're not full?" Yang Ruiqi said.

"But isn't the constitution just to protect the Manchu court for thousands of years? That's what Japanese newspapers say. ”

"You. Hey, I'm still too kind-hearted. Of course, the Japanese like China's constitution, and once the constitutional imperial power is transformed into the power of the gentry, then the world will be in chaos. They wish for China's constitution, just like they still thought about the Sino-Japanese alliance when they were in Wuxu. "Yu Youren is still too naïve, can you read foreign newspapers, especially Japanese newspapers?!" Well, you go and inform the members tomorrow, no, just notify the members of the non-commissioned officer academy to come over, and I'll tell them what a constitution is. (To be continued......)
