Cai Songpo's person Wang Jitong knows, this is one of the main people Yang Rui explained to the intelligence network. Wang Jitong didn't know how Yang Rui knew about these people, Yang Rui didn't explain it himself, he just gave the relevant list, in addition to this Cai Songpo in the military aspect, there are Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaozhun, and the strategy for others is different, Cai Songpo, who ranks first on this list, Yang Rui's remarks are focused on observation rather than focusing on wooing.
As an anti-Yuan senior general who escaped from the tightly guarded Beijing and transferred to Yunnan, in addition to his noble conduct, he also had extraordinary wisdom, and in addition to being a student of Liang Qi, a potential royalist constitutionalist position, it was impossible to become a revolution in a short period of time, in fact, Cai Ye was not a revolutionary party throughout his life. Therefore, when the war diary of the Fuxing Army was published in Tokyo, many foreign students wrote letters, although Cai Songpo was also among them, after Yang Rui sent someone to contact him, he could only maintain moderate contact with him.
The liaison office in Shanghai was also known to Cai Songpo in this way, and when the cadres of the Huaxing Society were taken away by the patrol room today, he had nowhere to ask for help, so he had to contact the Shanghai Revival Association.
Guiyuan Spring Teahouse is at the intersection of Avenida da Road and Gurdian Road, the teahouse is quite large, the business is very good, and it is overcrowded every day, precisely because there are many tea customers and it is at the crossroads, Wang Jitong uses this place as a B-level contact point - a more dangerous place to connect with people outside the meeting. After Cai Songpo came to a specific location, he called a specific menu, and then connected with the greeting guy with a few code words, and passed on his request.
Sitting in the corner of the Spring Tea House in Guiyuan, he couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the Revival Society while waiting. I haven't thought deeply about it in Tokyo, but this joint has made him understand the strength and prudence of the Renaissance Society, the family-style uprising played by Huang Keqiang's fellow villagers is completely incomparable with the Renaissance Association, and then think about the revival army in the northeast that can fight a tough battle. This revival will really be the first revolutionary party in China. Thinking of the word China, he thought that now this word has long been accepted by all international students, before they called China "Qing Dynasty" or "Zhina", it is really subtle, the revival of the China Times is very powerful.
Just when Cai Songpo was thinking wildly, Wang Jitong arrived. He saw a handsome young man sitting there, and asked in a low voice, "Is it Mr. Cai?" β
Cai Songpo knew that it should be someone from the Fuxing Society, so he got up and said, "It's me." Have a seat. May I ask Mr. Taifu? β
After Wang Jitong sat down, he said, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Huang?" Wang Jitong was not polite and went straight to the point.
Cai Songpo also knew that the matter was urgent, and it was too late to be polite. said: "At noon, a few of them were taken away from the apartment by the patrol room today. I also asked Mr. Wang to read the same revolutionary lineage, and asked Mr. to help rescue him. After that, he bowed deeply, and he couldn't stand it for a long time. Huang Dusheng was taken away by the patrol police from the apartment, only Yang Dusheng escaped, and he was supposed to come to intercede today, but Yang Dusheng had a bad impression of Wang Jitong because he had scolded the revival society earlier as a fake revolution. begged Cai Songpo to come over and plead.
Wang Jitong hurriedly helped him up, although the Fuxing Society and the Huaxing Society were different in revolutionary tactics, they were both revolutionary parties after all, and they still had the same hatred in the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The people of the Huaxing Association were taken by the patrol room, which was ironclad to be saved. He said: "I also just received news that the patrol room has arrested many revolutionaries. But what exactly is going on, Songpa still has to talk about it one by one. β
Cai Songpo saw that Wang Jitong did not have the slightest intention of shirking, so he sat down and explained the truth of the matter.
Because the party leaked the news, the Wanshou uprising, which Huaxing would painstakingly prepare, failed before it could be moved. Huang Xuanwu narrowly escaped because someone was covering. In October, he secretly came to Shanghai. The uprising failed, and Yang Dusheng's plan to assassinate Cixi in Beijing did not succeed, and a group of people hid in the concession, only to see in the newspapers that the Baath Army was thriving in the northeast. One failure, one attack. Yang Dusheng was very unhappy with a few particularly enthusiastic members, so they were also ready to do something in the country to improve the prestige of the Huaxing Society, thinking about it, I don't know who said that it seems that the previous Guangxi governor Wang Zhichun is in Shanghai, if this traitor is killed, then the name of the Huaxing Association will definitely overpower the Fuxing Society.
This Wang Zhichun is really wasted by the revolutionary party, because the patriotic society started the anti-French movement made him lose his office, he stayed in Shanghai to see that these revolutionary parties are more and more noisy, through the Su Bao incident to contact Duan Fang and other important ministers of the Qing court, and fiercely retaliated against the patriotic society, now the patriotic society is blocked, the revolutionary party is scattered, he will rest assured to drill the camp, ready to find another governor and other officials. Who knows, but in the name of an acquaintance, Huaxinghui asked him to Jingu Xiangfan Restaurant, but because of the failure of the pistol - in fact, it was Zou Rong's broken gun, which was given to Zhang Ji before, and then handed over to Wan Fuhua - the assassination failed, the gunman Wan Fuhua was arrested, and the assassination organizer Zhang Shizhao had no conscience, but he went to visit the patrol room early the next morning, but was touched by the governor Shunteng, and all the people of Huaxinghui were served, and only Yang Dusheng escaped.
Cai Songpo briefly finished talking about the matter, but Wang Jitong was pondering, and when he came, he also received news from the dark line of the patrol room, saying that a revolutionary party had been arrested, but he didn't know that it was someone from Huaxinghui. And he thought that if the revolutionary party was arrested, it must have been instructed by the Qing court, but who knew that it was a criminal case. After a long time, he said: "Songpo, if you are arrested for revolutionary speech, it is still easy to rescue, and at most you will be sentenced to a few years in prison, but now you are arrested for a criminal case, it should be difficult to get rid of the crime." Then there is the fact that Huaxing will have a lot of influence when it is in Tanzhou, Huang Xiaowu and others have been wanted, and now they have been arrested in the patrol room, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely come to ask for someone. β
Cai Songpo said: "Most of them use pseudonyms in the afternoon, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not know it in a short time, I am afraid that after a long time, there will be many dreams at night." And when patrolling and arresting people, he happened to meet Guo Renzhang, who came to visit his fellow villagers in his apartment, and arrested him as well. This Guo Renzhang is the commander of the Jiangxi patrol, and this time he has come to Shanghai to buy military funds......"
As soon as Cai Songpo said this, Wang Jitong had a plan in his heart, and immediately said: "If this Guo Renzhang is reliable." Then let him take a few important people in Huang Xuanwu as his entourage, and pick out a few of them first. He is an official of the imperial court, and it is just a coincidence, and now Lord Yuan of Daotai is also from Hunan, looking for a relationship to let Lord Yuan intercede. It will be released soon. As for the others, they can only ask a lawyer for help, as long as Wan Fuhua doesn't talk nonsense, and there is no physical evidence to prove that these people are related to the assassination, and they can still be acquitted in the end. β
Cai Songpo was a useless thing at all, but when he arrived at Wang Jitong, it was easily solved. My heart was overjoyed. Wang Jitong asked Yu Ziyi to accompany Cai Songpo to ask to see Yuan Shuxun of the Shanghai Taoist platform, and he went back to give an order to Harvato's lawyer. In view of the interests of the business system and the cover of the revolution, in addition to the full-time lawyer Brown, the general legal work and various disputes were entrusted to Harvato Law Firm.
After sending Cai Songpo away, Wang Jitong went to another Grade A liaison office according to the previous arrangement. This time I met famous people - Tao Chengzhang and Gong Baoquan, who were introduced by Xu Xilin.
This Tao Chengzhang is an important figure in the list provided by Yang Rui, Wang Jitong only learned about such a person from Cai Yuanpei after many inquiries, of course, Wang Jitong did not understand the influence of this person in history, only knew that he was a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and when he was in the year of Gengzi, he went north to the capital to prepare to assassinate Cixi, but it did not succeed, and Ren Yinnian went north to assassinate him. It still didn't work, and later he got the help of Cai Yuanpei, went east to Japan to study, and established the Zhejiang Society in Tokyo and others, and returned to China to move the revolution when he rejected Russia, and has been active in various parts of Zhejiang and Western Zhejiang, and has been fruitful. With the growing momentum of the Revival Association, coupled with the strong recommendation of Cai Yuanpei and Xu Xilin, he and Gong Baoquan came to Shanghai this time mainly for the cooperation between the Zhejiang Society and the Revival Association.
When Wang Jitong rushed to the contact point. Tao Chengzhang couldn't sit still, he put the teacup on the table, got up and walked back and forth in the room, he was not afraid that this meeting was a trap, but he was very anxious to wait.
Gong Baoquan next to him knew that his temper had been wronged again. said: "Brother Huanqing, last time you said that the party in western Zhejiang had a lot of contacts, and now Huaxing will fail to do something, is it possible?" "For Tao Chengzhang, it is useless to persuade clearly, the best way is to divert attention, as long as it comes to what he is concerned about, he doesn't care about time.
Tao Chengzhang stopped moving when he heard this, and said this time: "The party in western Zhejiang has already been contacted, but Huaxing will ...... Alas, what are you talking about this, I was not born, you said that this time you cooperated with the Revival Society, and they would not be calculated. β
Gong Baoquan couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard him talk about calculations, and said: "What will be the way for this revival, but the soldiers are strong and strong, what do we have in Zhejiang." I have been in Shanghai for many days, and although I have not said anything explicitly from the people, I will see that the China Education Association presided over by him must be one of the branches of this revival society. I think there is no shortage of people or money in this revival society, and now there is a strong army in the northeast, which is actually the first revolutionary conference, what are you trying to do with our Zhejiang Society? "In the middle of last year, when the Zhejiang Society returned to China, Tao Chengzhang was arranged to be in charge of Zhejiang, Wei Lan was in charge of Anhui, Shen Luomin and Zhang Xiongfu were in charge of Hunan, and Gong Baoquan was in charge of Shanghai. He spent many days in Shanghai, and under careful observation, he learned a lot about the revival.
Tao Chengzhang was also skeptical for a while, seeing Gong Baoquan say this at this time, plus Xu Xilin had said a lot of things to him a few months ago, he actually had no ill feelings towards the revival meeting, "Unborn, I always feel that this revival will be a little strange, why do you have to come to Shanghai?" Do they know that I am organizing the Zhejiang Society? "The predecessor of the Tokyo Zhejiang Society was the Hangzhou Philosophical Society, and the predecessor of the Philosophical Society was the Zhejiang Society made up by a group of students from Hangzhou Qiushi College. Because he was investigated by the Qing court, and at the same time, the main backbones were studying in Tokyo, so he set up the Zhejiang Society in Tokyo. At first, the Tokyo Zhejiang Society was not an anti-Qing organization, but only advocated a strong country through practical learning and current affairs, but later there was an incident of rejection of Russia outside, and Tao Chengzhang, a hot-blooded element who joined halfway, began to degenerate into a revolutionary organization. According to history, these revolutionaries returned to China and founded the Guangfu Society in Shanghai in the autumn of 19o4, but this history changed because of the Revival Society.
Gong Baoquan also thought about the problem mentioned by Tao Chengzhang, unlike the members of the Huaxing Association who crossed Hunan and Hubei provinces, the Zhejiang Society, which was transformed into a revolutionary organization, was mainly from Zhejiang, and from the beginning of its establishment, it paid great attention to secrecy, except for a few founders who would contact each other, the rest of the people did not know each other. "Maybe it's news from Tokyo, but the Revival Society is also very powerful in Tokyo. Their China Times is also very influential. There may be members of the Zhejiang Society who have joined the Revival Society. Gong Baoquan couldn't say why, only guessed.
"Who's that? Uncle Sun didn't say it, "Xu Xilin met Tao Chengzhang before going undercover, and the conversation was very heart-to-heart, it can't be him." "Could it be a hundred instruments? He did a good job in the revival army outside the Guan, didn't he also want to go to the Guanwai to kill foreigners before? Tao Chengzhang frowned at the thinker, and suddenly said, "No, his Lao Tzu is also in Tokyo, and he is very strict...... "The hundred instruments are Jiang Zungui." He was a student of the Japanese 6th Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and he was good at martial arts, but after his father Jiang Zhi crossed to Japan from the east, his words and deeds were restrained under his control.
Gong Baoquan didn't make a sound at this time, letting Tao Chengzhang think alone, he knew that this person couldn't be idle. I only hope that Mr. Wang from the revival association will come soon, and the two associations will cooperate as soon as possible to open up a new situation in the revolution.
When Wang Jitong arrived at the contact point, Tao Chengzhang was already a little crazy. He delayed for a quarter of an hour just now for the Huaxing Meeting, and when he saw Tao Chengzhang's excited face, he couldn't help but feel nervous, this person is an anxious person. After a brief introduction, the conversation began.
"Brother Xu, the cooperation proposed by your club. What is the cooperative law? It's not like we're going to merge the Zhejiang Society. Tao Chengzhang went straight to the point, and the biggest problem was highlighted at the beginning.
Wang Jitong stopped Gong Baoquan, who was about to play a round next to him, and said with a smile: "Juanqing, are you afraid that the Zhejiang Society will be merged by the Revival Society?" If the Zhejiang Society is merged, I am afraid that the meeting will not be able to do it. β
Tao Chengzhang didn't care about Wang Jitong's run, and only said: "As long as I can drive the Xinghan and let everyone in the world have enough to eat, it doesn't matter if I Tao Chengzhang doesn't do it." But if you merge into the Revival Society, Xiao Xu, can you guarantee that your revolution will be successful? β
Wang Jitong said: "This time I just want to talk about cooperation with Jian Qing, and I don't want to merge yet." There is a way to plan things in people, and things to achieve in heaven. Whether the revolution will succeed or not, thousands of people with lofty ideals in the Revival Association dare not guarantee it, but as long as everyone has a breath of air, this revolutionary heart will never slacken. The Fuxing Association and the Zhejiang Society have the same philosophy, and the backbone of the two sessions are all Zhejiang people. If we can cooperate against the Qing Dynasty without distinguishing between you and me, then the great cause of the revolution is bound to be accomplished as soon as possible. With such thoughts, I don't know what Huanqing thinks? β
Hearing Wang Jitong say that there are already thousands of people with lofty ideals in the Revival Society, Tao Chengzhang and Gong Baoquan were shocked, and Tao Chengzhang hurriedly asked: "Thousands of people with lofty ideals are the members of the party?" β
Wang Jitong shook his head and said: "The revival association has always thought that it is difficult for the party to succeed," as soon as he said this, Tao Chengzhang wanted to refute it, but he was working hard to contact the party in western Zhejiang, in order to make a move, who knew that this hard work would be wiped out in an instant, and he was really unwilling in his heart. Gong Baoquan next to him hurriedly grabbed him and motioned for him to listen to Wang Jitong after speaking, "The liaison party is plotting to make a move, and when the time is ripe, it will set up a flag to rebel, which has been the same routine for thousands of years. This was possible in the past, but it is difficult to do so today. β
"It was possible in the past, why is it difficult to achieve it today?" Tao Chengzhang suppressed his anger and asked.
"Let me ask Huanqing, were there firearms in the past?" This question made Tao Chengzhang stunned, "In the past, as long as you build weapons and train diligently, this strong army can be successful." But looking at today, the study of things is changing with each passing day, and this gunpowder gun is not something that can be made at will. β
"But Brother Shouren can already make bombs, if you can raise more money, it will not be difficult to build more bombs." Gong Baoquan interjected. He was talking about the assassination group organized by Yang Yulin, Su Fengchu and others, and Yang Yulin always believed that the assassination of the revolutionary TongguΓ² could be accomplished, because when he was in Tokyo last year, he asked a Russian nihilist to teach him how to make a bomb. At first, he secretly made bombs in Shanghai, because the purity of the raw materials used was not enough, and in the end, Wang Jitong helped buy imported raw materials.
"Shouren and others can make zuΓ² bombs, but the number of bombs they make is too small, and they can only be used for assassination. Even if the number is sufficient, it is difficult to become a strong army without guns, and how can a revolution be made without a strong army? It is easy for the party to move, but it is difficult to succeed. If it is not trained, not to mention the new army that is full of fresh training, even the old-style patrol battalion is estimated to be unable to defeat it. "Wang Jitong is not good at talking about the internal affairs of Yang Shouren's assassination group, but only that the party's strength is too weak to succeed.
Wang Jitong's words are reasonable, Tao Chengzhang also thought about these problems for a while, the party has power, but if this force is borrowed, it will be arrogant and difficult to control, and if it is not successful, it will be harassment, which he knew from the beginning. At that time, I only thought that as long as the Manchu Qing could be overthrown, these problems of the Hui Party would be solved later, but now listening to Wang Jitong's analysis, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed.
Tao Chengzhang and Gong Baoquan glanced at each other, and then said: "Then ask Brother Xu, if you don't contact the party, then how will this revolution move?" β
Wang Jitong knew that he had this question, and replied: "The reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty won the world is because there is an army in hand, and second, the people of the world have been obedient to the people for hundreds of years, and they have not yet had the heart to oppose the Qing. One of our revolutionaries must be like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, first of all, we must grasp the barrel of the gun, then the party is only a knife handle, and it is difficult to succeed; Then it is necessary to move the people, and now the revolutionaries are only scholars and talents, but it is difficult to achieve things by relying only on scholars and talents, so it is necessary to move the people, and let the people know what kind of court the Qing Dynasty is and what kind of foreigners are outside......"
Wang Jitong only said the revolutionary outline, but the details were not disclosed, Tao Chengzhang couldn't wait, and asked: "How can I catch the gun?" β
Wang Jitong paused when he heard this, and his inner thoughts were turning. To be honest, he did not have a very good impression of Tao Chengzhang, this person heard Cai Yuanpei say that he was a real revolutionary practitioner, Gengzi was determined to revolution, it is said that once he went to Beijing to assassinate Cixi but failed, and when he walked back to Zhejiang, he almost starved to death because of the exhaustion of the inventory, and finally begged all the way back to Shanghai; At the same time, Yang Rui also gave him a high evaluation of this person on the list, and Jian YΓ¬ must absorb him into the club. After a slight pause, Wang Jitong said: "I think that there are two strategies to grasp the barrel of the gun: for a while, now that the Qing court is organizing and training a new army, we can take advantage of the gap to join the army, and after joining the army, we can propagate the revolution in the army and show comrades; Then it is to train the army by itself. β
