Volume 17 Historical Sinners

Among all the systems of the Fuxing Society, Yanzhou's purge was carried out the fastest, and it was only a short period of more than three months from the time the order was issued to the beginning of the purge of traitors. Of course, there is no way to do it quickly, and according to the news from Anhui's internal line, Anhui's new army will be able to change its guard and recuperate after the year. As for who will take over the defense, although there is no exact information, it is estimated that it will be the eighth town in Hubei.

After the uprising in Hangzhou, Ding Zhenduo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was transferred to him after Hangzhou's recovery, but soon he resigned due to illness. The new governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is the former military department Shangshu Songtao, and the governor of Zhejiang is the original governor of Jiangsu, Chen Kuilong, the godson-in-law of King Qing, he was pressed in this position more to suppress the meaning, so as to make way for Ruizi of the Zaize series behind him, before he took office, the governor of Liangjiang was also very embarrassed, but between Enming and Chen Kuilong, he finally chose Bao Enming.

Although the war is extinguished, but after the beginning of spring, there will be a big war again, so the purge in Yanzhou is carried out very quickly and violently, and the problems brought are also very big. Of course, these people were in the minority, and more people became more loyal to the revolution and more combative, and this was a solid foundation for the success of the revolution in the future.

Excluding Yanzhou, Guannei and Northeast Shanghai are still in the moderate stage of studying, summarizing, and self-described, so there is no opposition. Although in Yang Rui's design, he said that he had the meaning of finding faults, but at the same time, he also wanted to understand what the members at the bottom were thinking and what they thought about the revolution.

Among the remaining members in the Kannai, almost all of them believed that they should return a tooth for a tooth and blood for a man. However, less than seventy percent of the non-Manchu gentry believed that they should be severely punished, and how to punish them severely. Is it to severely punish the gentry who murdered the Renaissance Society, or to severely punish all the gentry in the world? Yang Rui saw it very clearly. In fact, in the final analysis, the old morality and the old culture are still deeply rooted in the hearts of these people, and the Confucian doctrine of benevolence and affection still has a deep impact on members, especially those who have read books, and they do not have the courage and courage to break the old world and rebuild the new century. But this is also normal, before the May Fourth experience. Even if there is a criticism of Confucianism, it is only a minority, and it does not form a national resonance. It can be said until now. In addition to the fact that the Hangzhou military government attracted many scholars after the opening of the imperial examination, the massacres of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the internal purge of the Revival Society almost scared away these new scholars.

ran away, Yang Rui did not have the slightest regret, the current revival will already be a behemoth. Technology and business talent is not exactly about joining the club. And because of the lengthened training cycle of military schools, there is no shortage of students for a while. As for the Fa Zheng cadres, the members of the Youth League of the Revival Society were sent to several Fazheng schools for training, and the other part could only be solved by the Tongguò peasant training center. The education association, which began to be planned in 03, still made great contributions to the revolution in terms of talent cultivation. This is not something that can be solved by sending a few superintendents, and even, the appearance of the superintendents has increased the resentment of the students. The number of students joining the Revival Youth Corps continues unabated. In this case, I am afraid that the people who want to use this method to check and balance the education association. I can't dream of it.

On a cold night, Yang Rui read the reports everywhere and went through the problems caused by the purge of the entire revival meeting in his heart, and only after waiting for a qiē that there was no problem, he asked Xiang Cheng Ying, what is the next thing?

"Wang Xiaolin is already waiting outside." Cheng Ying said that now the details of Yang Rui's schedule are arranged by her.

"Let him in." As soon as Wang Xiaolin was mentioned, Yang Rui thought of something.

Wang Xiaolin seems to be more energetic than before recently, after all, as a non-descendant - this is actually his opinion, the descendant is a student of Guiyang Public School, and he is only a student of Yang Rui's three-month management training class - it is rare that he can directly lead a big action, although he has repeatedly warned himself that everything he does is for the revolution, but the feeling of being valued still makes him refreshed.

Wang Xiaolin, who entered Yang Rui's study, sat down respectfully, and then began to report on the preparations for the political and educational film "The Rise of a Great Power", "Sir, the script has been written. It is the history of the rise of nine countries: Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, and Japan. The other problems are okay, but the shooting is a bit troublesome, after all, there are many things, such as naval battles, and we can't shoot them. ”

"There is no way around without things!" Yang Rui affirmed.

Based on this, Yang Rui plans to ask the Propaganda Department to make a film to reveal the law of historical progress and the reasons for the rise of a powerful country. In fact, this is also the key to unlocking the contradiction between human nature, morality and revolution. History never chooses good, but evil. In Europe, it was the brutal plundering of the Americas, in the United States it was the destruction of freedom and slavery in the South by the Civil War, and the ruthless devouring of slave-turned-'free' workers, and in Japan and Russia, it was internal oppression and external plunder. Now, the great powers have changed their ways, dressed themselves up like civilized people, so that many people want to be as civilized as them, and they never know that the most important thing for China to learn now is the bloody and cruel appearance when they used to be robbers - in fact, foreigners are also quite shameless, and they accuse others of killing people and making more goods uncivilized, which not only puts themselves on the moral high ground, but also can eliminate a potential opponent. As for the previous sins, "Oh, I'm sorry! "Sarui is useless for anything.

The original intention of filming the rise of great powers was to let all members understand the bandit logic and bloody face of the great powers, so as to learn it. However, there is no one in China to grab, and all that can be done is to squeeze itself, tighten its belt, and pull the capital of industrialization out of the teeth. This process must be bloody and cruel, but this is the only way for China, and at the same time it is the only way for revolution. If we do not look at the revolution and the country from a historical perspective, we will not be able to shake off the shackles of human nature, morality, and law.

Hearing that Yang Rui said it was very sure, Wang Xiaolin's whole body was shocked, and he immediately said, "Yes." Mr. ”

"Also, after the movie comes out, you can also publish a book, written in plain words. It doesn't have to be thick, just make the truth clear. Some of our members may not be able to see the movie. "When Yang Rui saw him say 'yes', he didn't mention the movie, but talked about the book, in this era, the book is much more influential than the movie.

"Yes, sir! The book will be available in about three months. Wang Xiaolin said.

"Hurry up! It's best to release it within two months, not to print it well. There's no need, as long as the words aren't blurry. Spend money when you need to spend it, and save money when you need to save it. "The Rise of Great Powers is a film that doesn't have a box office. The budget for this is five thousand taels, Yang Rui only feels pain, in fact, a lot of the money is made of molds.

"Yes, sir!" Wang Xiaolin said affirmatively again. He finished. He handed over the half-finished manuscript again. After Yang Rui looked at it, he felt that it was all according to his own intentions, so he returned it to him again, and then said, "Yes." That's what it means. Any country is poor first, and then immoral, unscrupulous prosperity can only have civilization, Cangqiao actually knows etiquette, food and clothing know honor and disgrace. China's old civilization is as decaying as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and what we revolutionaries have to do is to break out of the shackles of this civilization and boldly break with this old world. Building a new world is the only way for the revolution to succeed. ”

Now Wang Xiaolin is the same as Liu Boyuan. As long as it is Yang Rui's language, it will be recorded, and then it will be put on the journal again. He is fully aware of the importance of this plan for the rise of a great power, which is the most important part of the purge and a powerful tool for correcting the revolutionary attitude of all old members. He's very serious.

After meeting Wang Xiaolin, the day's affairs are finally over. Every day at this time, taking advantage of the lack of curfew, Yang Rui went out and sent Cheng Ying home. In this purge, although Cheng Ying was not asked to write a summary or self-statement, she knew very well what she was thinking Yang Rui knew very well. A person who cares for the life of the revolution is not violent in many cases, but kind, but good and real revolution are not incompatible, and at some point, the revolution is evil, and this is the knot between himself and her.

"You can rest at home for the rest tomorrow." On the way, Yang Rui said to her.

"Tomorrow?" Cheng Ying asked, although she didn't ask why, but there was confusion in her eyes.

"Yes, I'm going to see someone tomorrow, so you're still at home." Yang Rui can't say where he will go, he can only euphemistically say what he will do tomorrow.

"Is it dangerous?" Seeing that Yang Rui said it easily, Cheng Ying was still not at ease, "I'll follow to protect you." She said innocently.

"Yes. You protect me. Yang Rui suddenly laughed, scraped his fingers on her nose, and then said. Just wait for me at home. In fact, there is no danger, except for the concession, I will not go anywhere for the time being. ”

Seeing that Yang Rui was not in the rental industry, Cheng Ying's heart was relieved. After all, the relationship between the Renaissance Society and Britain, the United States and France had improved, and the consul of the French Concession, Ju Laida, was not hostile to the Renaissance Society, and the consuls of several other countries on the public organization side, except for Russia, did not welcome it, and the consuls of several other countries acquiesced in the legitimate activities of the Renaissance Society in the Concession.

"Then you can go ahead. I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow, what do you want to eat? Before leaving, Cheng Ying asked, she is also changing herself now, such as starting to learn to cook is one of them. But every time she asked what to eat, Yang Rui didn't know what to say.

"It's the same as yesterday." Yang Rui said helplessly, and then Cheng Ying smiled at him and left.

Yang Rui was actually going to the British Concession, and he saw Wang Ji as the same and the new German Consul General as the second. As for whether the British will appear when they see Wang Jitong, that is another question.

Early the next morning, Yang Rui went from pidgin to the public concession, which was the first time he returned here after being assassinated, and the street was still lively, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt an inexplicable sense of alienation. The front bell of the carriage startled the bustling passers-by, and went straight to the main road, and finally stopped at the door of the old patrol house No. 51. At this time, the old patrol was different from before, because of the big trouble in the public office, here was once attacked by angry citizens, the Indian arrest was ordered to shoot at the crowd, killing and wounding dozens of people, in order not to be impacted by the Chinese, a three-meter-high wall was built at the door of the patrol house.

Wang Jitong and Ye Yunbiao were imprisoned here as part of an agreement between the Renaissance Society and the British. Yang Rui got out of the carriage and went in with Chen Guangshou, after explaining his intention and paying a pound. Yang Rui waited for about half an hour before seeing Wang Jitong.

"Xiao Xu!" In the reception room, Yang Rui took off his top hat and sunglasses, looked at Wang Jitong and smiled.

"Ahh What are you doing here? Wang Jitong was very surprised when he saw Yang Rui. He understood that now the Manchu Qing Dynasty had learned of Yang Rui's appearance, and the reward for the wanted warrant had been increased to 80,000 taels, not only the Manchu eagle dogs, but also the Jianghu characters were also very interested in this revolutionary figure, but Yang Rui's whereabouts in the French Concession were hidden, and at the same time, the gang figures in the concession were cleared, so it was not exposed for a while.

"It's long overdue." Yang Rui took off his coat. Then he grabbed Wang Jitong's hand and said, "How are you, are you still used to it here?" Wang Jitong was obviously fat, and his face was also very ruddy. This couldn't help but make Yang Rui think that Zhang Taiyan was also fat when he was in prison, only Zou Rong ......

"It's good to be here. Except that you can't move freely, everything else is fine. You can also go out every day to have a show. Wang Jitong seemed to feel that he didn't feel like he was in prison. It can be seen that the British still give him preferential treatment when he is locked up here. "So what's going on over there?"

Wang Jitong asked vaguely. Yang Rui knew what he meant when he heard this. He said, "Very well, we already have a countermeasure before talking to them. ”

Seeing that Yang Rui said it was very good, Wang Jitong was relieved, he was worried that Yang Rui would mess up the South African side for himself. At this time, the two sat down, and Yang Rui saw Wang Jitong's appearance again, and said with a smile: "You are fat." ”

"You're thin." Wang Jitong shook his head, as soon as he saw Yang Rui today, he felt that he was a little different from before. The gaze is no longer as gentle as it used to be. Instead, he was a little solemn, and his face was very gloomy. Like a ruined pawnshop shopkeeper.

Wang Jitong's words couldn't help but make Yang Rui think of what he did, he smiled bitterly and said: "It's normal to be thin, tossing others is actually tossing yourself." It's going on now, and there's too much going on. ”

From Zhang Taiyan's side, Wang Jitong understood the current situation of the Fuxing Society, and he had also seen the purge of Wen Jiàn, but the joy of the reunion didn't let him have time to ask this, and now when he heard Yang Rui talk about it, he said: "Actually, do you have to do evil to do good?" ”

I heard that Wang Jitong is good and evil morality, no different from Zhang Taiyan and Cheng Ying, so he has heard a lot, it is nothing more than starting from the personal moral law, questioning those practices that transcend morality and violate human nature in the revolution, Yang Rui is a little tired of this, but because it is Wang Jitong who is questioning, he has to use his voice to say: "Good and evil cannot explain the revolution." In isolation, revolution is a sin, but in the long run, it is a good, although its process is incomparably evil. ”

"But what about those of us who do evil?" Yang Rui's explanation Wang Jitong can also be seen in the text and propaganda, he doesn't know whether to echo or refute this, he only thinks that if people do evil, then they will have a disturbed conscience for the rest of their lives. What's more, these evils are not for the Manchus, but for themselves and the people who have nothing to do with them.

"After death, go to the eighteen layers of hell." Yang Rui said indifferently: "If we don't go to hell, who will go to hell." ”

"Does it have to be like this?" Wang Jitong asked again.

"It must be so. We are too far behind, and if we don't die too many people and do not do much evil, we won't be able to pull back the country's momentum. Before, I thought that everyone and Harmony would revolutionize together, and maybe we could do it beautifully. But after Hangzhou, I don't think it's possible. If the revolution cannot unify its thinking and be free from scruples, it will not be able to accomplish its mission in the end. The rise of every country is bloody, in Europe and the United States is to squeeze outsiders, in Japan is to squeeze itself and at the same time to squeeze China, for us, no one can bully, only squeeze ourselves. If this is the case, then the revival society must be purged, and every shackle must be removed, otherwise the revolution will not succeed and there will be no revival. Yang Rui was calm when he started talking, but he became a little excited in the end.

"That's why?" Wang Jitong still looked calm, and seemed to be unmoved by Yang Rui's words.

"Isn't that enough?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically.

"I feel enough in my head, but I don't feel enough in my heart." Wang Ji is the same way, and his language is extremely sincere.

"Me too." Yang Rui also said honestly, "But if we don't do this, someone else will do it for us." ”

"Someone else?" Although he was impressed by Yang Rui's honesty, Wang Jitong still wondered who the 'others' in Yang Rui's mouth were.

Yang Rui smiled: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is rotten at all times, and they can't do what they want to do by themselves, so in the end it will be up to us to do it for them, so we overthrew them; And after we took over. If we can't turn the tide of the country and make the country rich and strong, then naturally someone will overthrow us. Take over what we're going to do. In fact, although our country has fallen into this situation, everyone is still very proud in their bones, as long as China is not rich and strong for a day, they will not be full of complaints every day. No matter how many people die or how much they pay, as long as the country is rich and strong. And the hearts of these men were balanced; If we want to blindly emphasize morality and shame, and do nothing like the Manchus, then the final result will be to be replaced by a new revolution. Tell the truth. The punishment has long been pronounced by history, and this is the price that the backward nation must pay, and we are nothing more than an executioner. This is the helplessness of our revolutionaries. Cruel words. In the future, some people will say that we are cruel; If we are not cruel, then we will be overthrown in the future, and then we will be framed as reactionary and authoritarian, anyway, we are all historical sinners! ”

Yang Rui said that the revolutionary party was so helpless, Wang Jitong laughed, but he also smiled bitterly, he did not refute. It's a different story, "That's what to do." It will only make everyone unethical and unconstrained, and eventually ...... Eventually, there will be a cost, and the cost will be too great for us to bear. Fanaticism can make a nation rise or it can bring it down. ”

Wang Jitong seems to have some words that don't make sense, but Yang Rui still understands what he means, internal cruelty is just a lot of death, but to develop a brutal and unscrupulous character, it will eventually be impossible to only be internal and not external, but once external, then there will be war, and war is equivalent to ruining miè, which can't help but remind Yang Rui of Japan in the future, they rose because of madness, and perished because of madness.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui smiled: "No, I won't have it." ”

"Nope. Even if you are there, you will not be able to turn the situation around, and no matter how strong the revival will be, it will not be able to compete with the general trend. Wang Jitong is like an enlightened monk, his words are very peaceful, but the meaning of his words reveals an irrefutable philosophy.

"No, it won't." Yang Rui affirmed again. He believes that as long as he does not provoke the United States during World War II, then China will be a winner no matter what, and this is something he can control. But he forgot that when the people were crazy, he could control himself alone, and even at some times, he couldn't even control himself. History is like this, because of what flourishes, because of what fails.

Seeing that Yang Rui was still so insistent, Wang Jitong fell silent, the two of them didn't speak, and the reception room was very quiet. The room was quiet, but Colonel Gavint outside the room was uneasy, fearing that they were talking. In the morning, he received an urgent report arranged in the old patrol room, saying that a person who looked like Yang Jingcheng was meeting with Wang Jitong, so he immediately rushed over. The reception room was eavesdropping, so he hid behind the wall to see what they were saying.

Gai Went had long been very curious about this Yang Jingcheng, and he had asked Xie Jintai to meet with Yang Rui before, but Xie Jintai rejected it because the gunshot wound had not healed. In fact, Yang Rui didn't want to see him, although Gavant said that he was a colonel, but in the end he was just an intelligence officer, if he was a diplomat, he must see him, and the intelligence officer would be exempted.

Although Yang Jingcheng did not see him, Gai Winter collected a lot of information related to him, including Manchu, Japanese, and other parts of Britain. In his opinion, this Yang Jingcheng is much more mysterious than another revolutionary, Sun Yat-sen, at least that Sun Yat-sen is traceable, especially his records at Honolulu Mission School and Hong Kong Medical School are very clear, but this Yang Jingcheng before the revolution has no verifiable information, his information in the United States cannot be verified, and his information in England is also the same - it is said that he has audited courses at the University of London, studied in the library of the British Museum, and accepted the inheritance of a relative who owned a Chinese restaurant. But these are difficult to verify, there are not many Chinese in London, but there are many of them, in addition to opening laundries or Chinese restaurants.

It can be said that the earliest information about this Yang Jingcheng is that he once saved a German in Shanghai. And this German was a German army officer who supported the Boers by the Kaiser, which is probably the reason why Fuxing will get Boer munitions; What's even more bizarre is that this German participated in the Russo-Japanese War last year, commanded the Chinese bandit troops, and annihilated a wing of the Japanese army (the fact that the brigade was surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese bandits has been blocked by Japan, and the officer who wrote the history of the Rilu War more than ten years later was forever stopped at the rank of Dazuo), which won a way for the Russian army to retreat, for which he was also awarded the Tsar's Medal.

Not all Germans would be friendly with Russia, after all, they were in competition in Eastern Europe, but in connection with the Harbin University Hall, which was established by the Tsarist Russia and the Renaissance Society. Then it is easy to judge that it is not bandits who help the Russians hold the back road, it should be the Revival Society, or at least there is a revival association involved, in addition to these, Colonel Gewent also suspects that in Lushun, the mysterious Chinese who provided the Russians with information on the Japanese attack, is also estimated to be a member of the Revival Society, which should be the news that they infiltrated the Japanese base camp; There was also the strange fluctuation of the London Exchange's Japanese-Russian bonds before the Mukden War, and although he had no evidence to prove anything, he still suspected that it would have some inexplicable connection with the revival.

This is really an extremely cunning person! On the one hand, he won the favor of the Chinese and the West by rejecting Russia, and on the other hand, he won the favor of the Russians through guò resisting Japan, and now he is getting together with the Americans because of his relationship with Liaodong. On the one hand, they helped Russia and Japan on the battlefield, and on the other hand, they bled them on the bond market. Gainvent thought of Yang Jingcheng's various deeds, and began to believe a little that Yang Jingcheng's untraceable experiences were not able to be done, because a savage and stubborn Chinese could not do these things. (To be continued......)
