Hearing Cai Xiaomin's words, Yuan Shikai couldn't help but feel relieved. Although this person is the leader of the Fuxing Society, but he is very studious, and he is not good at fighting, and it is said that the reason why the Hangzhou Revolutionary Army will be defeated is that he listened to Xu Shaozhen's false surrender, so the army was defeated. This person is still very easy to fool.

Yang Shiqi saw Yuan Shikai nodding slightly, and said again: "If the revolutionary party really wants to go on the Northern Expedition and can't negotiate peace, then Shandong will retreat to Jiaodong, Weihai is the British concession, and if something happens, you can ask the British consul to intervene; The two towns of Zhili retreated to the vicinity of Tianjin, and foreigners could also be asked to intervene if there was something. In terms of public opinion, you can unite with the governors of various places and the gentry of various provinces, and in terms of operation, you can find this Cai Xiaomin and Song Yufu, one of them is the leader of the Revival Association, and the other is the leader of the Alliance, so that they can focus on the overall situation, stop the war, and open the Congress quickly, and with their worries about the country and the people, it is not difficult to agree. ”

Yuan Shikai said: "Cai Xiaomin, I know, this person is a pedant, as long as he can be rescued, he will be coaxed." You have to talk to that Song Yufu well, don't make any mess at that time. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shikai completely agreed with his proposition, Yang Shiqi hurriedly nodded and said, "It's been arranged, you can rest assured that Gong Bao." Now that I've asked Nakahito to go to Tokyo, I'll be able to meet this Song fisherman and talk to him in detail in a few days. ”

The Zhongren that Yang Shiqi said was Zhang Yilin, and after Yuan Shikai returned home, he was also dismissed and returned to Suzhou. This time, he went to the eastern suburbs to meet with Song Jiaoren, the leader of the League, and Yang Shiqi could only send him under secrecy. But what he didn't expect was this. That Song Yufu was not in Tokyo at all at this time.

Shau Kei Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Wong Hing Residence.

"Does that mean that the failure of this uprising has nothing to do with the revival?" Song Jiaoren said. The weather in Hong Kong in May was already extremely hot, but the situation discussed in the room made Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng's hearts cold. How did this great righteousness fail?

"Of course, it has nothing to do with revival. The bones of many martyrs were collected and transported back to their hometowns with their help. Song Jiaoren asked, but Huang Xing did not answer, but his son Huang Yiou spoke on the side.

Seeing Huang Yiou speak without authorization, Huang Xing said angrily: "What do you know! That was done by the Furen Literary Society, and it had nothing to do with the Revival Society. And the Furen Literary Society didn't join when it was uprising, and now when we fail, we come to clean up the bones, which is simply buying people's hearts! ”

Huang Yiou was murdered by his father. I didn't dare to speak anymore, but Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng didn't understand what the origin of this Furen Literary Society was, Tan Renfeng asked, "Keqiang." Is this Furen Cultural Society also a peripheral organization of the Revival Society? ”

"It's not!" Huang Xing said with certainty: "There was some involvement before, but then they published in the newspaper, saying that they were established in the eighteenth year of Guangxu." It merged with the Xingzhong Society before, and later withdrew from the Xingzhong Society. I started to be independent. Seeing Song Tan and the others, they were a little surprised and a little happy. Huang Xing said in a low voice: "Like the Revival Society, they refuse to cooperate with the League in any way, and it is just the duty of revolutionaries to clean up the bones as a revolutionary party." They also framed Yat-sen, saying that he had sent someone to assassinate their first prime minister, Yang Quyun. ”

Sun Wen's past is obviously not the purpose of Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng's coming, hearing that this Furen Cultural Society is unwilling to cooperate, Song Jiaoren said: "Keqiang, we are here to discuss with you on important matters......

Song Jiaoren only raised his head and didn't go on, and Huang Xing understood what he meant when he heard it. only drove out Huang Yiou, who was serving tea on the side, and closed the door before saying, "Say it." What the hell is the matter? Could it be Yang Jingcheng......"

"It's not Yang Jingcheng." Song Jiaoren's face revealed a burst of joy. said: "It's Yuan Shikai...... The following staff member Yang Shiqi. ”

As soon as Yuan Shikai's name came out, Huang Xing was stunned, and then he heard that it was his staff who was still surprised, and said: "Yuan Shikai has been dismissed for many years, he didn't contact us sooner or later, why did he come to us at this time, wouldn't he be coaxing us?" ”

Huang Xing's doubts Tan Renfeng also had before, he said: "I also thought the same way before, but looking at the shape of the world in this world, it is unreasonable for him to do this." Now the Yanzhou Revival Association and the Manchu New Army are both defeated, but the Revival Society is not only based in Yanzhou. Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty can only make Yanzhou suffer a big loss if it mobilizes the whole country, which shows that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already in the twilight of the day. Yuan Shikai has long been taboo by Guangxu, if it weren't for the support of foreigners, the support of the gentry, and the fact that there are a lot of old people in the Beiyang Army, he would have been exterminated by the speculators, he has no relationship with the Manchus, seeing that the world is about to change greatly, it is reasonable to find us. ”

Tan Renfeng's explanation Huang Xingdu agreed, but after thinking about it, he asked: "Then why didn't he go to Yang Jingcheng, when it comes to strength, it is also the greatest revival meeting?" ”

Huang Xing asked, Tan Renfeng twisted his beard and just smiled: "What can Yuan Shikai get from Yang Jingcheng?" How can two tigers talk together? In order to dominate the country in the future when the world is in turmoil, who else can he find on the revolutionary party's side but us? ”

"Then what did Yuan Shikai say? Can he still control the Beiyang Army now? Tan Renfeng's words had dispelled the doubts in Huang Xing's heart, and he jumped up quickly when he thought of the Beiyang Army in those towns, but unexpectedly touched the old wounds, and sat down again, his head hurting only sweating. Although he escaped, he broke two fingers, which have not yet fully healed.

"Keqiang, don't worry, I'll talk to you in detail." Song Jiaoren said, "Then Yang Shiqi was very interested in the constitutionalism I advocated, so when he saw the article, he asked someone to come and investigate, and he didn't say his real name at first, and then he gave the bottom when he was familiar with it, saying that I am in turmoil in China, and only by opening a parliament and practicing constitutionalism can we avoid war in the world." I think Yang Shiqi means this, probably because he wants to propose the opening of the National Assembly and the constitutional government with the gentry of the current provinces during the Northern Expedition of the Fuxing Society, so that Yuan Shikai can go out of the mountain. ”

"It's not impossible to open a parliament to implement constitutional government, so what will the emperor do when the time comes?" Huang Xing was a little disappointed, he thought that Yuan Shikai was going to raise troops, who knew that he wanted the revolutionary party to help carry the sedan chair so that he could get out of the mountain.

"Abdicate! All abdicate! Song Jiaoren said with some excitement. In fact, this proposal is exactly what he wants, and Congress is the solution to the imbalance of power between the parties. What's more, in this way, the two emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties can no longer sit on the dragon chair.

"Yuan Shikai didn't dare to raise troops, could he let Guangxu abdicate?" Huang Xing's tone was a little mocking.

"As long as revival will be the Northern Expedition. He used the general trend to persuade Guangxu to abdicate, and after Guangxu abdicated, what excuse did the revival society have for the Northern Expedition? So this matter has to go around to Congress in the end. Song Jiaoren said, "Although the Northern Expedition of the Fuxing Society is a national righteousness, but now the great powers are around, and a protracted war is a great harm to the country, and we can't watch them destroy the country." ”

"Keqiang. Yuan Shikai can't raise troops, it's not that we can't raise troops. Seeing that Song Jiaoren's side was not convincing, Tan Renfeng said again: "Yuan Shikai is still involved in those towns in Beiyang. If he can give us some money and ammunition, then we can make a move on the other side of the two lakes. Two lakes together, can also be a northern expedition, when the revival will meet the world chaos. Whether you are ready or not. They're all going to move. As soon as they moved, Yuan Shikai had a way to re-emerge from the mountain, and finally forced Guangxu to abdicate. At that time, the world will no longer need any emperors, and the republic will be realized. ”

Or Tan Renfeng understood Huang Xing's thoughts, after he finished speaking, Huang Xing's heart became hot again, and asked, "Then Yuan Shikai will really give us money for firearms?" How much money can he give, how much money guns? Who are we looking for in the two lakes? ”

"Yuan Shikai's side is not giving money and guns. We can talk. Now Guangxu continues to suppress the governors in various places and take back the power of the Congress. The officials and gentry in various places were very dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Shikai also saw this and wanted to take advantage of the situation. After Tan Renfeng analyzed Yuan Shikai, he said: "You and Mr. Zhongshan have been launching uprisings in Liangguang, and you have forgotten about the conference work at all. Now the Nichi-kai, the Kyojinkai, and the Hongmen in various places have become peripheral organizations of the Revival Society......"

As soon as Tan Renfeng fell, Huang Xing couldn't stand it, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Renfeng, don't say it, just tell me about the two lakes and the area, do we still have the strength to launch an uprising?" ”

Seeing that Huang Xing was in a hurry, Tan Renfeng did not make it difficult, and said: "Now the righteous army in Pingxiang has restrained the new army in the 13th town, and Changsha is only garrisoned by the patrol battalion, these officers and soldiers only recognize money, as long as they have money, they can naturally move one or two; There are also gentlemen and scholars Wen Fei, Zeng Jie and others who are willing to do things with us, as long as there are 100,000 taels and a capable team, then Changsha can go down in one day. ”

Tan Renfeng had been to Lianghu a few months ago, and knew that the Hubei area was basically the sphere of influence of the Fuxing Association, and if he wanted to make a difference, he could only make trouble in Hunan. When he came back, he happened to meet Song Jiaoren from Tokyo on the cruise ship, and the two discussed, and immediately decided to find Yuan Shikai to fund the trouble, and now he came to Huang Xing to ask for something.

"Keqiang, when Bingwu was young, Mr. Zhongshan once asked to see Yuan Shikai in the outer port of Tianjin, but what he asked for was not fulfilled, saying that the assassination of Cixi was instructed by Yuan Shikai to do it. This move made Yuan Shikai deeply disgusted. If you want to get the money and arms from Yuan Shikai's side, you must not let Mr. Zhongshan know about this matter, otherwise it is very likely that this matter will not be negotiated. Tan Renfeng said.

Huang Xingben was happy, thinking that Yuan Shikai would give money and guns, then Hunan could be engraved, and he didn't want Tan Renfeng to have such a discussion, so he immediately lowered his face and said: "Yixian is the prime minister of the Alliance, how can we sit on her back?" Even if Hunan is recovered, what face do we have to face Yixian. ”

Huang Xingzhi's words unsurprisingly only made Song Tan and the others sigh, and Song Jiaoren said: "Keqiang, with Sun Yat-sen here, how can we win the trust of Yuan Shikai?" If you don't win his trust, how can you get him to give money for firearms? He only asked me to come forward to stand up for the republic when the revival society was in the Northern Expedition and the whole country was in turmoil, and he didn't say that he would fund us to make trouble. What Brother Renfeng said was just the result of our discussion on the road, if Yuan Shikai saw Sun Yat-sen come forward and did not fund the money for firearms, how could he make trouble? ”

"At the beginning of the retreat, Yuan Shikai saw that Yixian came forward and did not give money for firearms, do you think that, or will he really do this?" After getting along for many years, Huang Xing understands Song Jiaoren's thoughts very well, and last year, Tan Renfeng and Sun Wen and Hu Hanmin had unpleasant things, and he didn't like Sun Wen, so he said so. "Revolution is first and foremost about unity. If we put the partisan struggle on the revolution, we will only make the revolution a complete failure. Although Yatsen has many disadvantages, at least he has been running around for the revolution and has not slackened for a day. If this matter really comes forward in the name of the Alliance, then I must report this matter to Yat-sen. ”

Seeing that Huang Xing was still stubborn, Tan Renfeng said: "Keqiang." The revolution is to unite, but it is not for me to unite him, he also wants to unite us. Last year, I discussed with Dunchu the establishment of the Central Alliance in Shanghai or Wuchang. But Mr. Takayama actually said that the alliance has been canceled, is this his attitude of unity? The League is a group formed by the union of anti-Qing aspirants from all over the country, how can it be canceled by his own words? The prime minister is also elected by the party, so how can a person who works for the party have the right to dissolve the organization?

Mr. Zhongshan had a gap with Yuan Shikai as early as the Bingwu year, and if he came forward, the funding would be in vain. So I and Dunchu now want to go to Shanghai or Wuchang with you. The Central General Assembly of the League was established, Yuan Shikai was contacted, and the Changsha uprising was launched. There is still room for such a revolution. If we keep staring at the two Guangzhous and one place, I am afraid that when Yang Jingcheng conquers Beijing, we will not be able to recover a province. ”

Tan Renfeng's words were reasonable, and Huang Xing was silent after he finished speaking. It was half a ring, just waiting for Xu Zonghan to knock on the door outside. Only then did he stand up and say: "The party has suffered heavy losses in Guangzhou. I will not kill Li Zhun and swear not to be a person. Whether it's in Shanghai or Wuchang, I won't go. Yuan Shikai's side, if he can really fund our uprising, it would be great, but if the alliance will come forward, then this matter must be reported to Yixian, and he can only count it with his permission. But if you form another Central League. That's your own business, if it really works. It's better not to forget about me and Yat-sen. ”

Huang Xing looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, only to disappoint Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng completely, their original intention was to pull Huang Xing and call all the Huaxing Meetings in the past, so that the Central Alliance would have some momentum, and now Huang Xing ignored the Central Alliance, only letting their plans fail.

"Keqiang, do you really want to stay here with all your heart and take assassination as your purpose? How can we be worthy of our sacrificial comrades in doing this? Seeing that Huang Xing wanted to send off guests, Song Jiaoren finally said.

"If I don't assassinate Li Zhun here, how can I be worthy of the comrades who sacrificed?" Huang Xing replied to Song Jiaoren's words, and then opened the door again, "At the beginning of the retreat, I won't go to Wuchang in Shanghai, I'll leave it over there to you and Brother Renfeng." Yang Jingcheng in Shanghai is not easy to get along with, I think you should go to Wuchang, which is also a concession, close to Changsha, and the Central Alliance is located there. ”

Huang Xing's determination was made, and Song Jiaoren saw that it was useless to say more, so he had to leave. However, when he left Hong Kong, he was seen by a person.

In the gap between the curtain of the carriage, Yang Rui looked at Song Jiaoren sitting on the rickshaw and was very surprised, and said to himself: "Why did he come to Hong Kong." ”

Yang Rui saw Song Jiaoren, but Chen Guangshou in the car didn't see it, so he didn't know who Yang Rui was talking about, and only when Yang Rui asked again, he said: "Song Jiaoren was in Tokyo last month, but he left Tokyo at the beginning of this month, when we thought he was returning to China, and we didn't know that he came to Hong Kong." Sir, do you want someone to investigate him? ”

"No need." Yang Rui looked at Song Jiaoren who disappeared into the crowd, and said with certainty: "Now the alliance will fail and its vitality will be greatly damaged, but that Huang Xing has been defeated and fled repeatedly, and he can be safe every time." This Song Jiaoren should have come to see Huang Xing. We just need to keep an eye on their Huang Ming Hall in Qinzhou, Guangxi, and don't let them take advantage of the chaos to get any chance. ”

"Understood. Mr. As soon as Yang Rui said to take advantage of the chaos, Chen Guangshou was excited in his heart, now the lunar calendar is the end of April, and two more months will be Guangxu's birthday. Two months, a full sixty days, short and long, is really unbearable.

"Has the Constitution arrived?" Yang Rui asked about Zhong Guanguan, he came from Europe and was not in good health, so Yang Rui was worried that he would be late.

"It's here, sir." Chen Guangshou said.

"So, I'm the latest to arrive." Yang Rui was a little self-deprecating. Before the uprising, the third congress of the Renaissance Conference was held due to inconvenient transportation, but the meeting of the seven members of the committee was required, and there were many people in Shanghai, and several members were in Europe and the United States, so the final venue for the meeting was in Hong Kong.

As Yang Rui spoke, several carriages slowed down, only turning into an alley, and after walking a few hundred meters, they turned into a quiet courtyard. As soon as the carriage entered, the painted black courtyard gate was slammed shut. At this time, the car stopped in the courtyard, and Zhong Guanguan, Wang Jitong, Xu Huafeng, Yu Zixun, and Xie Zhangtai were all standing in the courtyard watching Yang Rui and Zhang Taiyan who walked down from the carriage.

"It's done!" Zhong Guanguan has not seen him for many years, and he is the first to walk up quickly. He grabbed Yang Rui, and another "Uncle Mei" pulled Zhang Taiyan and laughed, the last time everyone gathered was in Bingwu year, five years, five years really passed in a flash! He grabbed Yang Rui and Zhang Taiyan indiscriminately and said: "Although there is a concession in Shanghai, there are also many Manchu spies, I am abroad, but I am most afraid of hearing the news in China, so I am worried that you will have an accident." ”

Although what Zhong Guanguan said was unlucky, his concern for Yang Rui and Zhang Taiyan was clear, and he just laughed at it. Yang Rui returned to Zhong for sightseeing, and greeted Wang Jitong and Yu Zixun, looked at them and said: "This time, we have a lot of time to discuss everything, just wait for the discussion, everyone is united, and then the great cause of recovery can begin." ”

Yang Rui had something to say, Yu Zixun's face was surprised, and Wang Jitong had the same expression and said, "Yes." Many things must be discussed clearly, so that things can be mobilized and the country will not be in turmoil. He said again: "It turned out to be your son's full moon, and there was nothing to give you, so I specially wrote a picture of the right to write a word as a gift, and smiled and smiled." After speaking, he really took out a pair of words.

Yang Rui got married and had children, several people know, due to the discipline in the meeting, Zhang Taiyan in Shanghai sent a pair of words, and several other people because they were not in Shanghai, although they did not express, but the things were remembered, and now they were mentioned by Wang Jitong, and several others took the gifts out of their sleeves, only Xu Huafeng and Xie Jintai put them in the house, Xie Zhangtai saw this and said loudly: "The sun is so hot, let's go back to the house, my congratulatory gift is still in the house." ”

Everyone knew the content of the meeting at the beginning of the meeting, and they were extremely excited when they met. Now he only waited for Xie Jintai to scream, and then he came back to his senses, and after laughing, they all followed him back to the house.

Everyone was elated, but Yang Rui was thinking about his thoughts. After that showdown with the woman, she wanted to divorce but was stopped by Cheng Weinan, who suddenly heard about it, and hanged herself, if she didn't divorce, she could only separate, and now the woman took her son back to Honolulu, and Yang Rui didn't stop her when she saw this. Even if he is his own son, are you afraid that he will not be like himself? He didn't believe that he wouldn't know himself if he was raised by a woman for a few years.

As soon as everyone sat down in the flower hall, everyone brought the congratulatory gifts before the tea was served. Everyone else's is a word, but Xu Huafeng's is special, it is a submarine model. Yang Rui couldn't understand the words, so he put them down after reading them hastily, but this submarine model was always held in his hand, and after a careful look, he said: "This is what we made in the United States?" ”

Xu Huafeng was driven out of the Kiel shipyard by the Germans, but he still did not waste time in the shipyard in the past few years, and the German submarines were also studied several times, although the cooperation was suspended, but he still understood the design ideas of the Germans.

"Yes. We rented a small dock in the U.S. and tried to build two of our own to use as training boats. This is the second, two eight-cylinder two-stroke diesel engines, each with a power of 1,800 horsepower, a displacement of 830 tons underwater, a maximum speed of 15 knots on the surface, a maximum of 10 knots underwater, and a depth of 50 meters. Because it was built in the United States, it cannot be kept secret, and now the US Navy has found us and wants to buy these two submarines, if not, then we will want to dismantle them. Xu Huafeng said helplessly. At present, all countries are very rejecting the revival association, and Germany and the United States, which had high hopes before, have turned their faces and denied people.

Yang Rui played with the submarine in his hand, and on the angular appearance, he couldn't find the shadow of the submarine in later generations. He listened to Xu Huafeng's introduction of the number of the second submarine, and was a little satisfied, but in the end, when he heard that the US Navy was intervening sideways, his eyes were cold, and he said angrily: "If it is dismantled, it will be dismantled, and if it is dismantled, it will not be sold to these bastards!" After he finished speaking, he asked, "What about the airship?" Was it also discovered by the Americans? ”

Xu Huafeng also didn't want to sell it to the Americans, so he nodded and said: "The airship doesn't need a dock, as long as it is flat land, it can be built." They couldn't find out about this, and now the two airships have been built and are already in the Pacific Ocean. You will be able to Tonghua next month. ”

Everyone saw that Xu Huafeng's congratulatory gift was strange, and after listening to him talk about this thing in detail, they knew that this was Yang Rui's new gadget, and it would be of great use. However, when he heard that this thing was going to be dismantled, Zhang Taiyan said: "We don't want to sell this ship, can't we do it?" Could it be that the dignified U.S. government will actually buy and sell by force? (To be continued......)
