Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Students studying in Japan only came about 24 years ago in Guangxu, the early stage were mainly official expenses, after the imperial court announced the new policy and the establishment of a new school, there were self-financed students, the number of students also increased, students mainly from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and other places, there are student associations in various places, and even some newspapers and periodicals, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc., these newspapers and periodicals are all about saving the country, but never say full of speech. After the Sino-French War, some Cantonese students were afraid that the imperial court would cede Guangdong to France, so they started the Guangdong Independence Association and advocated that Guangdong should break away from the Qing court and declare independence. Later, last year, Zhang Taiyan, Qin Lishan, Ma Junwu and others started the "242nd Anniversary Commemoration of the Fall of the Middle Xia", intending to commemorate the death of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, which had a great impact, but was stopped by the Qing court and Japan. After this incident, the Inspirational Society was divided into two factions, and the advocates of revolutionaries formed the YMCA and parted ways with the others.
Yang Rui listened very carefully, it seems that the revolutionary shape here in Tokyo is not good, the newspapers dare not say what kind of life is it to be full, and asked about the specific situation of the YMCA, Yu Zixun said: "I didn't inquire about the specific situation of this YMCA, I pretended to want to study abroad, so I went to the embassy to inquire, and found a manager who was familiar with the inside situation, saying that he wanted to study abroad, but he was worried that there was a revolutionary party here, and he was afraid that he would be coerced by it, so he came to inquire about the details of the international students." The person in charge knows everything and says everything, but he still knows the name of the YMCA, but he doesn't know the truth. Another major event is that on New Year's Day this year, despite the presence of Beizi of the Qing court and the minister stationed in Japan, some students Ma Junwu and Liu Chengyu were full of remarks in public, and they were later dismissed by the Qing court. ”
Yang Rui was still very surprised when he heard this, which was equivalent to slapping the leader in front of the leaders at the government's New Year's group meeting, but these two were still young and impulsive, and they didn't know enough about the revolution, so they didn't want to contact each other. At present, the YMCA is still the main target of work. said: "Tomorrow my fellow is coming, I will inquire privately to see if he will say anything." ”
The next morning, there was a student who asked to see, Yang Rui hurriedly got up and ordered to invite, and he also went to the door to greet him, the person who came was a student dressed in a Japanese student uniform, with a student hat, and his face was very young. ”
Xie Xiaoshi was very surprised, because this is different from his hometown dialect, the tone is very different, the two of them carefully studied and now the original two places are one in the southwest of Linxi, the other is in the northwest of Linxi, Ankang in the late Qing Dynasty should be Jianchang, Anyi and other places on the side of the provincial capital, and Yang Rui's Ankang should be under the jurisdiction of Nan'an Mansion in the late Qing Dynasty, it is really a big misunderstanding, and the place names are different after a hundred years. Despite this, but the two still talked very happily, no matter how to say it is also a province, this Linxi in the Song Dynasty was a large number of talents, to the Qing Dynasty is very declining, now there are very few students in Linxi, it is expected that there will be few celebrities in the Republic of China, this Xie Xiaoshi's family background is still good, his parents are also enlightened, he came to Tokyo to prepare to study law, speaking of Tokyo, Yang Rui asked: "Now it is said that the international students are full of strict thoughts, and on New Year's Day, there are also Mr. proposals at the New Year's party, is it really true?" ”
Xie Xiaoshi said: "Yes, last year, Mr. Zhang Taiyan and Mr. Sun Wen mentioned that they wanted to sacrifice the former Ming Emperor Chongzhen, and finally they were blocked by the Qing court and the Japanese side, and this matter was not completed, so everyone has grievances." On New Year's Day of the second year, Ma Junwu and Liu Chengyu were full at the conference, but in the end, both of them were expelled from studying abroad. ”
Yang Rui was surprised that there were traces of Sun Zhongshan in this sacrificial conference, but he didn't know if this YMCA was also related to him, if there was his own plan, forget it, Sun Zhongshan is called Sun Cannon, and it must be handy to fool the students, if the students first accept his American-style republican revolutionary ideas, and then go to talk about centralization, it will be difficult to succeed. Seeing that he was quite sympathetic to Ma Junwu and Liu Chengyu in his words, he further asked: "It's been a year since you stayed in Japan, do you think this court can still save China?" ”
Xie Xiaoshi was stunned when he heard this, and was silent for a while, so Yang Rui had no choice but to ask and answer himself, and said resolutely: "In my opinion, this imperial court can't save China." Why, because it is not only alien, but also very mediocre, and now it is said that the implementation of the new policy is also forced by the form, in order to revive the people's hearts after Gengzi, but it is too late. ”
Xie Xiaoshi suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Why does that gentleman think he can save China?" ”
Yang Rui replied categorically: "The only way to save China is revolution, and no revolution cannot save China, but revolution alone cannot save China, and only revolution and then reform can save China." ”
Although the word reform has long existed in ancient times, the pandemic is in later generations, and in the late Qing Dynasty, there was only the theory of change and reform. Yang Rui regretted not asking Zhang Taiyan for the source of his reform words, so he had to acquiesce to it. After a long time, he said: "I came to Tokyo this time because I heard that the YMCA had been established by the international students, and I wanted to get to know the revolutionary aspirants in the meeting and exchange the true meaning of the revolution with each other. In addition, a newspaper will be set up here, and students with good Chinese writing will be invited as editors, and if Xiaoshi has classmates, please introduce them on his behalf, and if it is suitable, he will be hired. ”
Xie Xiaoshi was still very surprised when he saw Yang Rui mention the YMCA, he himself was a member of this association, and the association had only been established for more than half a year, and the number of people was only twenty or thirty people, so he didn't know how to spread it to Shanghai, so he didn't say anything at the moment. Seeing that Xie Xiaoshi was a little absent-minded, Yang Rui knew that what he could do was this step, and as for what happened later, it would depend on the judgment of the YMCA. I had to serve tea to the guests.
After sending Xie Xiaoshi away, Yang Rui didn't know what to do next, tomorrow was the extraordinary conference, and the day after tomorrow was the official conference. Yu Zixun is talking about this newspaper, and the things in the students can only wait and not be in a hurry, and it is even possible that there will be no response this time. The rest doesn't seem to have much to do. Suddenly thought of Kang Liang and Sun Zhongshan are both in Japan, whether to meet, Kang Youwei and Sun Zhongshan forget it, Liang Qi can still meet, I remember that when I used to study, the old man who taught history said that only Liang Qi was advancing with the times in the entire late Qing Dynasty, and his "Juvenile China Says" was compiled in the textbooks of later generations. When Yu Zixun came back and asked about Liang Qi's situation, Yu Zixun said: "You can't see it this time, this person is not in Japan now, and I heard that he will go to the United States after the year." It was such a coincidence that Yang Rui had no choice but to let out a long sigh, and he had to wait for later.
The next day, the officers of the International Student Army gathered at the International Student Association Hall to hold an extraordinary meeting. There were many students at the meeting, after the opening speech, the host invited Yang Rui to the stage to introduce the situation of the Shanghai Volunteers, which was originally Wang Yunzong's, and now he pushed the matter to Yang Rui. The students discussed various matters, and proposed to send people to China to meet the Beiyang Minister Yuan Shikai and ask to join the war, if Yuan Shikai was not allowed to go to Beijing to move the government, two representatives were elected in a few days, one was Niu Yongjian, and the other was Tang Wei, seeing the innocent appearance of the people, Yang Rui seemed to see them being slaughtered by the Manchus, and he couldn't help it, and said to Tang Wei, who presided over the meeting: "I have something to say to the students, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Maybe it was Wang Yunzong's words last night that played a role, and everyone was very respectful to Yang Rui today, and when they saw that he had something to say, they agreed. Yang Rui stood in front of the stage, looked at the dozens of young faces below and said: "Your monarch's actions are worthy of being the pride of the sky and the hope of the country, and it is because I have to say something to remind you." I heard that a few days ago, a Japanese police arrived and asked you to disband the army, but did you ever think that this is not in line with Japan's foreign strategy, and there must be something strange in this. "Yu Zixun has already said this a few days ago, Yang Rui thought that it should be the meaning of the Qing court, Japan asked for money in the Northeast, and how many bandit armies were formed to help it fight the Russian army, why did it want to be disbanded in such an influential student army in Japan? There must be something strange in this. As soon as Yang Rui said this, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that everyone had seen it, Yang Rui put down his heart and talked slowly: "Japan had an attempt on the Northeast as early as the First Sino-Japanese War, just because Russia and other countries opposed it, and it was to withdraw from the Northeast, and now Russia has broken the contract and does not retreat, which just gives him an excuse to attack, plus there is a quasi-ally Britain to rely on behind, and the United States also supports it, so Japan is bound to fight with Russia in the Northeast." And this time of war is the time when the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway will not be opened, because the war started too early, Japan was not fully prepared, and the war started too late, and as soon as Siberia was opened, the Russian army's logistics had some support, and the chances of victory were reduced. ”
As soon as he said this, the hall became lively, and a student immediately asked: "Sir, in this case, our country should join forces with Japan and expel Russia together." As soon as this remark came out, there were many people who echoed it, and there were many speeches in this era, Yang Rui became more and more like a leader, he raised his hand and pressed down, and the hall immediately quieted down, he said: "Is there anyone who opposes these classmates' statements?" ”
A few hands in the crowd were raised, Yang Rui nodded to the front one, and asked, "What is your name, tell me, why do you oppose joining forces with the Japanese army to expel Russia?" ”
The student was very sturdy, much taller than the student next to him, and when he saw Yang Rui asking, he said: "Yu is Ao Zizhan, a trainee non-commissioned officer at the non-commissioned officer school, Japan sent troops to seek the Northeast, and it will definitely not let our country send troops." If our country. The army joined forces with it in wartime, so how could it occupy the Northeast after the war? Japan will certainly prevent our country from sending troops. ”
It's really rare, not everyone can see it so clearly in later generations. After Ao Zizhan finished speaking, the hall began to buzz again. This time, it took Yang Rui a long time to quiet the hall and said: "Gentlemen, even if Japan does not oppose our country's sending troops, the Qing court will not let you send troops, Japan very much hopes that the student army will help them fight the Russians, but why do you suddenly want everyone to disband, don't you want to think about what's going on?" I dare to assert that the disbandment of the Volunteers will not only be the case in Japan, but also in China, and if the two delegates rush to Beijing, they will not say anything about the inconclusive statement, and security is also a problem, because the meaning of the Qing court is now very clear, and the police interrogation a few days ago is the best proof of this. ”
There were many people in the student army who were loyal and patriotic, and they joined the student army because of the righteous call, but now as soon as Yang Rui said this, those loyal and patriotic parties suddenly became chaotic. This time the hall was completely out of control, Yang Rui saw this, and simply stopped moving off the podium, Tang Wei was very angry, and asked, "Is Mr. here to dismantle the stage?" ”
Yang Rui said very calmly: "What I said is just the truth, the Qing court can't save China, only we can save China." Tang Yan was speechless. After tossing for a long time, the venue quieted down, and it was agreed that the official meeting would be held tomorrow in the Jinhui Pavilion, and the military and national education associations formed were just to strengthen the body. Yang Rui left in the complicated eyes of the backbone of the student army, fortunately, the reaction was not very violent, if it was really violent, then he would not have to go to the official conference tomorrow.
In the evening, several directors of the hall came, led by Xie Xiaoshi, as well as Niu Yongjian, Tang Yan, Qin Yuliu, Sa Duan, Zhou Chongye, Pei Yongli, Ye Lan, Zhang Zhaotong and others during the day, and acquaintances were Lin Zheng and his sister Lin Zongsu, who were originally in Shanghai, that is, the female gentleman who asked Yang Rui at the New Year's dinner. After leading everyone into the house and sitting down for tea, Yang Rui said jokingly: "Didn't you come here to ask about the sin?" ”
Lin Ji smiled and said: "Cheng Cheng said before that he wanted to meet the princes of the YMCA, so I will help you bring it." Everyone didn't want to come, I was afraid that it was a secret agent of the Qing court, but I was still familiar with Jingcheng, knowing that you were definitely not a secret agent of the Qing court, and I thought that I would vouch for you, so everyone came, I don't know what to see and learn from Jingcheng? ”
