There is nothing big about business other than the listing of Coal & Iron Works and Mines Co., Ltd. in the United States. Among them, Yang Rui is attracted by the Jiangnan shipyard's diesel engine and hot ball machine began trial production, the diesel engine is more difficult, but the hot ball machine is not difficult, early next year can produce a batch of large fishing boats with steel bones and wooden shells, these fishing boats will be sold to the fishing company below the agricultural reclamation company, to meet the needs of food companies. However, he didn't see the fishing boat in his eyes, and thought of the submarine, which can still be scared when the plane can't drop a torpedo.

Business is basically fine, so the education will be bigger. Jiang Weiqiao elaborated on the shocking changes in the past two months: "At the beginning, we were detained, and Duan Fang personally asked, saying why there are so many revolutionary parties in the schools below the education association, I said that the imperial court has not yet opened a congress, and the students will inevitably go on a crooked path out of eagerness to save the country...... He later said that the education association is now large-scale, it is better to merge into the school, I said that if it is merged into the school, then the gentry may not be able to donate, at this time Duanfang's face sank, and he brushed his sleeves and left. Later, I learned that the trick they played, that is, I and Songcen (Jin Tianxi) and Haowu (Ye Han) were given the grade of three grades, and became officials of the Qing Dynasty, probably to prove to the students that we were recruited by the Manchu Dynasty, and the schools under the Education Association, in addition to primary schools, middle schools and above have been sent special superintendents, and some courses have also been adjusted, and some things have been added to praise the Manchu Qing and Guangxu......"

The Manchu Qing can be regarded as painstaking. However, Yang Rui still thinks it is mild, at least you are the superintendent, not the principal. However, he didn't care about anything else, and only asked, "How is Hosei School?" ”

"The same is true of the School of Law and Politics." Jiang Weiqiao replied.

"How's the youth league doing?" Yang Rui saw that he was unknown. I had to ask again.

"Also... It's still there. "The Youth League is an organization for students, and it has been around since middle school, but like the Revival Society, it is a secret organization, and its activities are all underground.

"I want to see the files of the youth league members, all aspects, the education committee can do a screening first. Those who are resolutely revolutionary and those who are born in the countryside can be sent to Guò, and those who are not from the countryside but have a resolute revolutionary will can also be sent, but they must be classified. Yang Rui said this. He also said: "I remember that there are also youth league organizations in the factory of those child labor students, and they can be sent over as long as they have a strong revolutionary will. ”

Looking at what Yang Rui said, Jiang Weiqiao nodded heavily. After the key things were said, I hurriedly arranged them. Jiang Weiqiao is gone. The next thing I want to see is Wang Xiaolin, the China Times was blocked, which greatly affected the propaganda of the Revival Association, after all, there is no way for tabloids everywhere to compare with the China Times with an international perspective.

Wang Xiaolin is the first batch of students in the management training class, starting from the Su Bao case, he can be regarded as the Minister of Culture and Propaganda of the Fuxing Association, but although he has a very high position in the Fuxing Association, he still thinks that he is a student of Yang Rui. He didn't dare to sit in front of Yang Rui, but he was in the room. With his green shirt, it looks like a letter office mailbox. Seeing him like this, Yang Rui didn't want to force him to sit down, but asked, "What are you busy with all this time?" ”

"After the China Times was blocked, it is now exposing the shortcomings of the people, and then it is to publicize the massacre in Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other places." Wang Xiaolin was very serious when he spoke, and he looked like he was solving a math problem. "By the way, Qiu Jin's tomb has been destroyed by the Manchurians again, and it has been moved several times."

Qiu Jin's matter is Cheng Ying first told Yang Rui, after the capture of Hangzhou, Tao Chengzhang's Shaoxing militia under could not resist, was driven to the mountains, Qiu Jin returned to Shaoxing to investigate the news, was recognized by the former Shaoxing Yamen in the official, after exposing the traces of her hiding in the city, but when the Qing army threatened to set fire, she came out with righteousness, and then, was shot dead in the night of the same day, and died in Xuantingkou.

This Yang Rui heard from Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying said it while crying, but Yang Rui couldn't cry, Qiu Jin died heroically, but the same is true for those soldiers who have no names. If he really wants to cry, he can't stop crying, and the first thing he has to do now is to stop the loss and let the remaining people of the Hangzhou Uprising survive, these immortal people are strong revolutionary fighters; The second thing is to stabilize the internal situation, especially the people's hearts, so that everyone can see that the Manchu Qing will be defeated and the revolution will win; Finally, and most difficultly, how to make the revival of the party turn into a more thorough revolutionary party, but this has another problem: when the Manchu Congress has not been completely defeated, a more thorough revolution may not be accepted by all members, especially if it is not at a life-and-death juncture like the Yanzhou side, and the routine of the agrarian revolution may be difficult to implement.

No man's understanding can transcend his time itself, which is an established underlying principle, and it is also the advantage and sorrow of the traverser, and it is said that it is an advantage because many of his things are ahead; It is sad that if he is too ahead, he will not be understood by everyone, and it is better to be one step ahead and half a step ahead. Now Yang Rui is entangled in how to take the lead by half a step, especially his former students may not support him and respond to him under this kind of lead.

Yang Rui was distracted again, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Xiaolin still standing there, so he said: "If there is no place to bury, then it can be sent to Japan, hey, don't send it to Japan, just find a temple and store it, one day." We're going to bury them! ”

Although Wang Xiaolin is not dealing with internal affairs, since Yang Rui said it, he agreed. After he agreed, Yang Rui said again: "The purpose of the external declaration is only to cause chaos to the Manchu Qing, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now turning to the people's hearts and the general trend, which is not something that our newspapers can shake, and the most important thing now is internal propaganda." I have heard a lot of public opinion saying that the Hangzhou Uprising was launched by Mr. Xiaomin alone, and that the Revival Committee is making trouble, and this statement must be refuted, this is the Manchu Qing Dynasty to sow discord! The Hangzhou uprising was unanimously decided by the committee, and Mr. Xiao Min only assumed the heavy responsibility of leading and commanding the headquarters when the headquarters was destroyed by the Manchu Qing collusion patrol house and we were not there. It is remarkable that he is such a literati who can do this, especially because he has the determination to die. Not everyone has it, and many more people are facing death who defect and surrender, how can the revolution succeed without the belief that it will die? ……”

After thinking about it for a long time some time ago, Yang Rui had to say that Cai Yuanpei's mistake was the mistake of all the committee members, or his own mistake. But. Even so, he was very worried. After explaining Wang Xiaolin, he sat in the room for a long time. Finally, I went to the study.

After he wrote on the manuscript paper "A spark can start a prairie fire", he hurriedly began to write:

Before the Hangzhou Uprising, many comrades based on our own strength. Based on the advancement of our tactics. The courage of the soldiers believed that as long as the red flag was raised, the Manchu Qing would immediately fall, and the revolution could easily win, but the defeat of Hangzhou made this blind optimism naturally shattered in the face of the guns of the Manchu New Army.

The reason why many comrades think this way is because they can't see through what the Manchu Qing Dynasty really is. Is it just those Manchurian nobles in the capital? Is it just five million full people? Is it just a little pitiful and the patrol battalion does not differ much from the new army?

Neither!

The Manchu Qing was just a name, and it included not only the Manchu nobles, the five million Manchus, the new army and the patrol battalions in various places. It also includes the gentry of all over the country, large and small, as well as those good young people who have been deceived by the constitution and the opening of the National Assembly. In addition to these, the Manchus also included various powers with strong ships and guns. It can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was an extremely tight control system pressed on the heads of the people, and it was the sum total of vested interests at home and abroad. This is the first lesson of the Hangzhou uprising: we have not fully recognized our enemies before.

Westerners, the government, the gentry, and the common people, these four kinds of people constitute the entire Chinese society from high to low, and everyone knows about the other types, but they do not have a deep understanding of the gentry, they are the foundation of the survival of the Manchu court, and they are the ultimate end of the oppressive class, but many of our comrades cannot realize this. Here, I can't help but make an analogy, such as a bat, people who have seen it will wonder what it is, saying that it is a beast, and it can fly; Say it's a bird, it doesn't lay eggs. The same is true of the gentry, in front of the government, he is the people, if the official is coercive, he can ask for the people's life and incite the people to make trouble; But in front of the people, he is the government, and the people are disobedient, so they can use the government to threaten them. When Hangzhou had just been conquered, the gentry and parliamentarians came, and when the Manchus were about to hold a parliament to encircle and suppress us, they left again, and, most painfully, the loss of the 1st Brigade was entirely due to the betrayal of the gentry.

The bat nature of the gentry is pointed out here, because this is the second lesson of the Hangzhou uprising: in the revolution of great change, we do not distinguish well which are our friends.

Recognizing the enemy and distinguishing between friends is the primary issue of the revolution, and relying on true friends to fight the real enemy is the primary strategy of the revolution. But before that, the most important thing is to build up the confidence to win. Some comrades who are blind to the revolution think that our army is better than the Manchus and think that the revolution can be succeeded very easily, but once it fails, some comrades think that the revolution is too difficult. In fact, these are two manifestations of a lack of understanding of the revolution. The former has already been mentioned, and the latter is mainly mentioned here.

As soon as Hangzhou was defeated, many comrades had no hope for the revolution and believed that the revolution had failed. On the contrary, I realized that the Hangzhou Uprising was actually a general rehearsal of the revolution, which laid the foundation for the victory of the revolution in the future. Consider the vulnerability of the Manchus at the time of the occupation of Hangzhou, and the troops of three provinces besieging an army that lacked guns and ammunition and had not completed its training, and you can see where the hope for the victory of our revolution lies.

With the defeat of Hangzhou and the unfolding of the Manchus abroad, the revolution had temporarily fallen into a low ebb, and in the next four to five years all we had to do was to go to the provinces and prepare for another large-scale uprising, which was long, arduous, and sometimes unbearable, but it was the only way for the revolution to win.

Although the uprising in Hangzhou ended, the revolution in the whole country had just begun. Any comrade who is determined to make a revolution and to save the country must have the conviction to persevere, and this is the historical responsibility of our generation and the historical responsibility of every member of the rejuvenating country.

……

Du Yaquan read Yang Rui's article in Tonghua Ordnance, and he was very accustomed to reading Yang Rui's vernacular text, at the beginning. He felt very abrupt to see such plain words being turned into lead characters and printed on the journal, if it weren't for the profound and attractive things in it, he only thought about whether the revival would have a new president.

The Hangzhou incident also had a great impact on him. At first it was excitement and confusion, followed by regret and anger. Unlike those who betrayed, Du Yaquan saw that the revival would defeat the Manchus in a hurry, but in the end it failed due to lack of training, lack of guns and ammunition. He even thought that if the northeast side also raised things, it would rely on those tens of thousands of troops. Victory is about to be won immediately, however, I think of the Zhejiang Front Army, which lacks guns and ammunition. Thinking of the military factory equipment that is still being installed and debugged, this thought is abandoned, and now the war is different from the past, and victory cannot be achieved without sufficient ammunition supply.

The Tonghua Arsenal brought back all the military equipment in June. Everything is just in the gate. The Manchu Qing Dynasty, together with the customs, began to strictly inspect all kinds of materials of the Tonghua Railway Company, but it was too late to do so, and everything to be transported had already been brought in, that is, the equipment of the new sulfuric acid plant had already arrived. At the beginning of August, the first bullet was made, and then the first rifle was made. It can be said that the current revival army really has a foothold in Liaodong, but even so. A lot of things still have to be careful, the military factory is not big. The monthly output of 1 million rounds of various bullets, 1,000 imitation Mauser 96 rifles, 1,000 mortar shells (the previous annual production of 100,000 rounds could not be realized), and 3,000 grenades.

Although the military factory is small, it is self-sufficient in raw materials, steel, copper, and explosives are all produced for its own use, and many of the minor raw materials such as tung oil, white lead, and white tin can also be found locally. Now it's time, and the more time passes, the more ammunition will be produced, and the stronger your own power will be.

When Du Yaquan returned to Tonghua New Town after reading the newspaper, Liu Boyuan, the military political commissar, came to find him. Du Yaquan knew what was going on as soon as he saw him, and hurriedly asked the assistant to move the personnel information of the agricultural reclamation company, and asked Liu Boyuan: "The information of all the members of the agricultural reclamation company is here." Do you want a farmer's trading company? ”

"Farmer's Trade Company......" Liu Boyuan only said that he wanted to farm before he came, and he didn't know that there was also a farmer's trading company, "Let's take it too." ”

"Okay, let's go get it." Du Yaquan said as he asked his assistant to bring the information of the agricultural trading company.

The agricultural reclamation company is a company that organizes immigrants to farm, there are people from Shandong to all over the northeast, they pull people out of Shandong, and then transport them to the place where they need to exercise, give the displaced people a certain amount of food and a shack, and then give them a piece of land and seeds and fertilizer, and then these displaced people settle down here, although it is a shack, but it is also a village, and when the farm is not working, the village chief will organize the displaced people to build better houses. In addition to the house, the land is also allocated to them, but the expenses from Shandong to the land reclamation, seeds, land, and farm tools are all counted as money, but this money is not much, and it can be paid off in about six years.

The revival members of the Farm Reclamation Company are the leaders of the village chiefs of each village, and they are actually the displaced people who arrived earlier, and because of their ability and enthusiasm, they joined the revival society after the inspection, and it is not known how many of these people joined the association because of their livelihood or because they really joined the association.

Excluding the agricultural reclamation company, the agricultural trading company is a company that collects agricultural goods and sells agricultural materials, and each market has a farmer's trading company's shop, and the backbone personnel are in addition to the homeless, there are also many early graduates of the Tonghua Law and Politics School - at that time, there were not many people who knew the number among the homeless, so they had to quickly train the students in the school to go out and use them. Unlike the members of the agricultural reclamation company, the members of the agricultural trading company are basically revolutionaries, and the reason for this is that they have seen too much suffering among the people when they go to the villages, and how to change this situation is often on their minds.

After understanding the difference between the two, Liu Boyuan's selection of people is very simple, the agricultural reclamation company chooses less, and the agricultural trading company chooses more, but because the number of people in the agricultural trading company is small, he chooses sixty people, and Du Yaquan can't stand it. The farmer's trading company was in charge of a large area alone, and as soon as these sixty people went, the counties were empty.

Liu Boyuan's selection was actually arranged by Yang Rui, and when he sent the power to Shanghai to determine that there were only ten people, he exchanged the pile of files to Du Yaquan, who breathed a sigh of relief.

When Liu Boyuan was done here, Zhong Guanguan, who had just returned from Europe, looked at Yang Rui's stack of manuscripts and asked, "Do you really want to run a school?" ”

"Hmm. It's about building a school. Originally, I wanted to build it in Qingdao, but I thought that it could only cover the north. In the end, I still think it is better to build in Shanghai. "Now Yang Rui has basically recovered his health, but his body is not as strong as before, and he is very weak." If revival is going to be transformed, it must start with training. ”

"Training?" Zhong Guan asked, "What training?" ”

"Mobilize the relevant knowledge of the peasants," Yang Rui said frankly, "and now we can only take this road." ”

"Do you want to kill local tyrants like Yanzhou and divide the land?" Zhong Guanguan had heard of Yang Rui's statement for a long time, and he was different from Wang Jitong about it, and he was inclined to support it in his heart. As for why this is so, in Yang Rui's opinion. Wang Jitong's father, a Qing official, has been an official for several generations, and there is a natural rejection of civil unrest. Zhong Guanguan's father is just a small dyeing owner, and his family is not wealthy, so he goes to school because the private school teacher values him, and he is active and enterprising. His father trapped him. I had to give up, and I finally won the show to be regarded as a glorious lintel.

"Yanzhou is in the context of war, and if you want to survive, you have to do this." Yang Rui thought of the current situation of the Fuxing Association, and felt that it would not work to completely kill the local tyrants and divide the land, and this could only be tactfully advanced. "We can only start with the workshop."

"Workshop?" Zhong Guanguan savored the name, but it was not famous on the letter.

"I guess it's called a farmer's training center." Yang Rui added: "Our members must go deep into the countryside, and if we want to mobilize the farmers, we must first educate the farmers. The training center was a place to educate the peasants, and it was not all about rebellion. The course also includes some knowledge of agricultural technology, health care, and the ability to read newspapers to farmers and lecture on the form of lectures from all over the country, but eventually it is necessary to establish peasant associations in various places. ”

Looking at Zhong Guanguan's thoughtful appearance, Yang Rui simply gave him the truth: "The original purpose of the peasant association was to resist donations, and to oppose the extortion of those official canons in the yamen, and to unite the peasants to reduce the rent to the landlord during the disaster year. In fact, if we don't organize this situation, it will naturally exist, and our appearance will only make it a large-scale organization. ”

Zhong Guanguan thought about what Yang Rui said, and asked, "What if the donation and rent reduction are successful?" ”

"After success, they will wonder if they can also reduce the rent when it is not a disaster year, and farming is very hard, and if they give more to the government and landlords, then they can eat less in their stomachs. As long as they find that they can fight for their own benefit by uniting together, then they will earn a profit. It can be said that this is like a steam locomotive, as long as it starts, it is not that we push it away, but that it drags us along. When Yang Rui said this, he couldn't help but think of a simple description of the peasant association during the Great Revolution in a Republic of China novel, once the peasant movement is launched, even the initiator cannot stop it.

"But if you keep fighting like this, how can you control it?" Zhong Guanguan also thought of this.

"Regulate it from the very beginning, and control the intensity of the struggle on the resistance to donations, the reduction of rents and interest rates, and do not involve killing local tyrants and dividing the land." Yang Rui has been thinking about this question for a long time, and it has finally been built theoretically in the past few days, of course, this is just a theory. "But if the gentry collude with the government to eliminate the peasant associations, the struggle will escalate, and in the end they will really kill the local tyrants and divide the land. But this will only exist in a few areas," Yang Rui said, spreading out a map of China, "The relationship between the landlords and tenant farmers in the mountainous areas of southwest Shandong is extremely bad, and according to the investigation, the two are hostile; In the Taihang Mountains, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are many bandits, and this kind of place is a place where you can establish a base area. As long as peasant associations are established in such places, then with the intensification of the struggle, it will naturally develop to the point of killing local tyrants and dividing the land, but it is impossible for such base areas to expand to the mountainous areas, because it is possible to survive inside the mountains, but it is difficult to survive outside the mountains. That is, even if the struggle will intensify, only a few places in the country will be able to establish base areas. Because our strength was not yet big enough to occupy the prefectures and counties, the peasant movement was mostly moderate under the butcher's knife of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it could not be violent even if it wanted to. After all, the root base can only survive in the mountains. ”

After Yang Rui's tirade, Zhong Guanguan asked: "That means that our goal of struggle is going to change, it was full before, but now it is going to turn to the countryside." ”

"That's it, that's it!" Yang Rui said with some excitement, "The Manchu court is not just the Manchu court itself, it is a strict control system from top to bottom, and there are still many powers outside, and the object we want to overthrow is this control system, which is the three mountains of 'feudalism, bureaucracy, and imperialism'." We don't need to mention the dangers of foreigners, and we don't need to say much about corrupt officials, and now the Propaganda Department is stepping up its criticism of feudalism, with the slogan 'Go to the bottom and support the workers and peasants!' ’。 (To be continued......)
