The Beijing-Hankou Railway has just been opened, but because it only takes two days from Beijing to Hankou Express, and only three days for ordinary mail trains, there are many passengers who take it as soon as they drive. Tao Chengzhang went south alone, except for clothes and no extra luggage, only until noon, only felt hungry in the stomach, the people in the same carriage went to the kitchen to cook, and he had never been on the train, he didn't know that the train meal was to be made by himself, so he could only spend some money and partner with the people in the same carriage, and then wait until the night to sleep, and there was no cover, fortunately it was a hot day, and the patience passed.

Driving so much during the day and parking at night, the scenery along the road is good, especially when crossing the Yellow River Bridge, looking at the surging Yellow River, Tao Chengzhang was suddenly shocked, and it made him decide to do his best. The train staggered all the way, and waited until the evening of the third day to reach Hankow. Although there is a branch of the Revival Society here, but he is acting alone, naturally there are no members to greet him, he had to find an inn to rest, the second day originally wanted to go to Anqing, but thinking that Wuchang is also a place where there are many revolutionaries, he wanted to visit, so he crossed the river to Wuchang, and wandered around hoping to find like-minded people.

In fact, it was very simple to find a revolutionary party at the end of the Qing Dynasty. If there are no young people, then it depends on whether there are young people wearing the clothes of students studying in Japan; If not, it will only be up to see who buys the revolutionary newspaper. Tao Chengzhang stayed in a bookstore for a while, and saw a young man wearing a Japanese student hat who bought a Chu newspaper, which was run by the revolutionary party.

There were a lot of people sitting in the church, Tao Chengzhang went in soon after more and more people, only stayed for half an hour, when the church was overcrowded, a few people appeared under the statue of Jesus in front of them, the most conspicuous was a foreigner, and then a plain white young man, dressed in a white shirt. The white goose feather fan in the right hand and the white towel in the left hand are very similar to Zhuge Liang. "Zhuge Liang" was the first to speak, and Tao Chengzhang didn't understand the Hubei dialect very well, but after several identifications, he realized that the foreigner was French, called Euquiro.

Eucillo should actually be called Captain Eucliro. He was subordinate to the French garrison in Tianjin, and his direct supervisor was Major Boucapi, and the work of checking the strength of the revolutionary party agreed between Major Bugape and Sun Wen in October last year was actually completed by Captain Eucero and others.

After "Zhuge Liang" finished speaking, the next thing was Captain Euclio's words, in fact, all he saw along the way was the party. Those people couldn't even shake hands, and they were all in the middle of nowhere, and they seemed to him to be basically a group of peasants, and now, in this bustling city, in a neat and bright church, he was a little excited in front of a group of good citizens who were constantly clapping.

"Gentlemen. I am glad to be here to meet you, and it is a privilege to meet you in such a dynasty as decaying as it was before the French Revolution. "Eucloli's language is French, but the translation is in Beijing, and everyone understands it." You are as worthy of respect as the French heroes of more than 100 years ago. More than a hundred years ago, under the leadership of those heroes, the French dictatorship King Louis XVI was guillotined, and a new, free, equal, and fraternal France was established; And today. In the face of the same decaying and ** Qing Dynasty, what you have to do is to be like those heroes, pick up a rifle and let the dictator go to God! There is nothing to hesitate about, there is nothing to be afraid of, the most important thing is whether you have the courage, only your courage can make you fearless, let you unite like a gang of brothers to bring down the dictator. Freedom and equality in life......"

Captain Euclio's words were so encouraging, that at the end of his speech, everyone below applauded every time he said a word. When he finally shouted "Freedom", the church seemed to be about to turn the sky upside down. Tao Chengzhang had never seen such an agitating speech, he was crazy and shouting, only after the party was over, he remembered that he was going to come to the revolutionary party to contact and raise things together, so he looked at the retreating "Zhuge Liang" and rushed over......

"Brother is from the Renaissance Society?" 'Zhuge Liang' is actually called Liu Jing'an, and he is the president of the Rizhi Society, he did not participate in the revival meeting, nor did he participate in the alliance meeting, but he is very familiar with the two sessions.

"Yes, Brother Jing'an said at the meeting just now that it was very good. Do you have a relationship with the French? Tao Chengzhang felt that the Frenchman was not simple and very curious.

Liu Jing'an was not very sure of Tao Chengzhang's identity, and Feng Temin was not there for a while, so he said: "The one just now was just our parishioner, and he just had a good impression of the revolution." ”

"Favorable?" Tao Chengzhang laughed: "If it's just a good feeling, it won't let us take the rifle and fight the Tartars." Brother Jing'an, in fact, I want to find you to raise righteousness together. ”

"Righteousness? Didn't your revival say that you still need to prepare? Feng Temin didn't mention the matter of righteousness when he returned to Wuchang, but he kept having a meeting, which made Liu Jing'an a little disappointed.

"That was before, now that Cixi is dead, Guangxu is about to sit on the throne, and if there is no revolution at this time, it will be when." Tao Chengzhang was thrilled by the speech of the Frenchman just now, and he wanted to do it as soon as possible.

"Really?" Liu Jing'an was overjoyed.

"Really, if there is no revolution in the meeting, then I will also make a revolution myself." Tao Chengzhang said.

"Then where do you do righteousness?" Liu Jing'an said, the alliance seems to have made a big move recently, and it has also said that it will do something in the past few days.

"I ...... I can only ...... in Zhejiang" Tao Chengzhang looked at Liu Jing'an with some disappointment, and said: "Maybe Anhui can too." ”

"Anhui?"

"Yes, Anhui."

What Tao Chengzhang said was not so sure, but he was always so sure, he understood Xu Xilin's personality, but when he saw Xu Xilin, he only felt that he had changed. He is no longer the revolutionary youth who worried about the country and the people before, but has become a bureaucrat, a Tartar dog, he really can't imagine that a person can become like this. In Xu Xilin's view, Tao Chengzhang still hasn't changed, he is still so generous and passionate, and he still takes saving the people of the world as his own responsibility.

"Huanqing, I can't revolutionize." Xu Xilin said, "I'm just an adult's protégé now, and I really can't help." ”

"You ......" Tao Chengzhang stood up angrily, tore off a piece of his shirt and threw it over, and said angrily: "I knew you were an ungrateful dog!" With that, he went out in a rage.

As soon as Tao Chengzhang left, Xu Xilin said: "Mo Feng, you go and follow him, don't have any accidents." "Chen Boping is Xu Xilin's entourage in the Anhui Mansion. When he heard this, he went out with him.

Xu Xilin will finish Tao Chengzhang, and hurried to Enming's side, Cixi was assassinated, the situation in Beijing was chaotic, although Enming is the governor of Anhui, but it is also very involved, he is actually the son-in-law of King Yixuan of Qing. King Qing's side is about to fall, and he, the governor of Anhui, is afraid that he will not be able to sit in a stable position. Now that the major forces in Beijing have targeted King Qing and Yuan Shikai, there are still some ways to think about it.

When Xu Xilin arrived, Eun Ming was explaining things to Shi Shanzai, "...... Don't startle the snake just yet. It's... Save the action together, be optimistic, and ...... when you do it"

"My lord, but this will not be done until then, and the summer vacation will be next month, if it is a summer vacation, then ......" Xu Xilin heard Enming talking to the patrol chief office Shishan about important things. Hurriedly retreated, and then stayed as far as he could hear.

"I won't wait until the summer vacation of the school, and I will do it at the end of the month at the latest. This matter is extremely important, and it must not be leaked as before. The conversation seemed to be almost over, and Xu Xilin only heard the sound of Shishan beating a thousand, so he pretended to have just entered the door.

Shishan bowed to Enming, and when he saw him come in, he glanced at him and went out. Xu Xilin didn't deal with him much, and he didn't care. Instead, he saluted directly to Enming. Because of the relationship between his uncle Yu Liansan, Enming has always been very polite to Xu Xilin, and when he went to the governor of Anhui at the beginning of the year, he also wanted to arrange Xu Xilin to be an official below, but Xu Xilin was an undercover agent, and it was of little value to leave Enming, so he pretended that he was not capable enough. I have to learn from adults to excuse myself. Enming was also very happy to see that this young man could endure his temperament.

"Bosun, this is a very difficult time, don't run around." Enming's tone was reproachful. But the look is very kind.

As soon as he said running around, Xu Xilin couldn't help but think of Shishan who went out just now, Shishan was destroyed by him several times when he caught the revolutionary party, because Xu Xilin had been to Japan, and Shishan was also suspicious of him, but he couldn't find the slightest evidence, let alone Xu Xilin's words and deeds, so he had to think that he was unlucky. Before Xu Xilin went to the dock to see Tao Chengzhang, I was afraid that it was Shishan who told Enming.

"My lord, it's just an old friend, I have to see it." Now that he already knew, Xu Xilin simply accepted the matter.

Enming saw the honesty that Xu Xilin said, and said with relief: "Old friends don't talk about old friends, now that the Queen Mother is funeral, there are many etiquette rules, so you still have to be careful." Bethsun, I still want to let you out......"

Seeing that Enming mentioned the old words again, Xu Xilin hurriedly said: "My lord, Xilin is willing to follow ...... to the death."

This Enming didn't be as happy as last time, but interrupted Xu Xilin and sighed: "Silly boy, now that the situation in Beijing is changing drastically, even I, the governor, may be dismissed one day, so ah, you still have to go out early." ”

Seeing him say this, Xu Xilin hurriedly pretended to be stupid and said: "My lord, I am dedicated to my duties, diligent in government and love the people, how can the court be ......?"

"Hey......" Enming shook his head, "My official of the Qing Dynasty, there is one who is clean, who dares to deal with you if you are not clean, who dares to promote you as an official?" The Manchu officials calculated it, that is, the military aircraft Qu Zijiu was clean, but he has always been by the Queen Mother's side, and he is very appreciated by the Queen Mother, otherwise how could there be today? Since everyone is not clean, it's okay not to check, all the officials are corrupt, you say that you want to check, how can I sit firmly? There is a way that once the son of heaven and a courtier, now that Guangxu Ye is out of the mountain, it is natural that the earlier people will demolish a lot, which is also the common feeling of officialdom. Now the governors of all places are sending silver to Beijing, but others can send it, but I can't send it. So, for the sake of your future, I want to recommend you to Lord Zhang in Zhejiang, he is the nephew of Lord Zhang Zhidong, and this time the trend will not affect him. ”

Returning to Zhejiang is not what Xu Xilin likes, he finally got Enming's trust here, how long will he have to stay up again in Zhejiang? Xu Xilin then said: "Xilin will not go to Zhejiang, and swear to follow his teacher to the death!" ”

Seeing that he was so resolute, Enming shook his head while secretly happy, Yu Liansan treated him like a parent in the past, and today he treats Xu Xilin the same, which is actually a return of kindness. However, after getting along with Xu Xilin for a long time, he naturally had some feelings, and now when he saw that the catastrophe came, Xu Xilin still couldn't go to the nest, so he was naturally a little moved. He sighed for a long time before saying, "Okay." Then you can stay here for now. ”

On the afternoon of the same day after talking with Enming, Xu Xilin sent out the words he had just heard, and arrived in Shanghai in the evening after a telegram. But at this time, Yang Rui put aside other things. I am going to see 6 Bang from Shandong.

The first day of the first meeting was a summary of the basic situation of the provincial capital construction work, and the next six days were Yang Rui, Wang Jitong, Zhang Taiyan, Xu Huafeng and others to give speeches and reports to everyone - because the education association was going to be independent, Cai Yuanpei was not included in the report - among the four, Wang Jitong talked about the organization and work outline of the conference for a day, Zhang Taiyan talked about the preservation and inheritance of the quintessence of the country for half a day, and Xu Huafeng talked about the science and technology exhibition of the world for half a day. The remaining four days were all given by Yang Rui, one day on the current international situation and the infiltration and conspiracy of the great powers against China, one day on the situation of all strata in China today and the key points and difficulties in the development of the Chinese revolution, and the last two days were all about the work of group training—one was how to create a group training for returning to the hometown, and the other was how to cut into the group training of others when it was not possible to create a group training. The third is the relationship between constitution-making and self-government, and how to form self-government institutions at the local level.

The time of the meeting was limited, but it brought great shock to the delegates of various provinces, especially the use of a combination of class analysis, sociological analysis, and market segmentation, to study the situation of various strata in China and the corresponding revolutionary strategies, so that everyone was enlightened, which made everyone jump out of the small circle of students and scholars. Begin to look at all the people in the whole society from a broad perspective, revolution is not the patent of scholars, in fact, the people, citizens, and displaced people can all be unfolded.

What shocked the representatives of the provinces was just a market analysis and marketing strategy report for Yang Rui, and it was nothing remarkable. In the past, when I went to work, the company had to make such a report when it opened new products. Now, the revolution is seen as a product, and China is seen as a market that needs to be opened urgently. Then the strategy is well set.

Students, scholars - the imperial examination is abolished, the officialdom is dark, there is no way to recommend, there is no money to study abroad, and at the same time, these people are full of worries about the country and the people, in addition to allowing them to have a future in the future, the revolution can also show their ambitions, drive the Tartars outside the customs, save the country from the imminent fall, and relieve the people from hanging upside down. Such a great cause can completely dedicate them wholeheartedly, and they will not give up their bones.

Burghers, craftsmen, soldiers, yeoman farmers - exorbitant taxes, donations of everything, currency devaluation, official seizure of people's wealth, the propertied have perseverance, but the propertied are angry that the government plunders their small property in the name of the new policy and the power. Especially now the copper dollar has depreciated sharply, in the past, it was 140 copper dollars when 10 yuan was exchanged for one tael of silver, but now it has risen to 160 yuan, and some copper yuan in many provinces has risen to 180 yuan for one tael. The most infuriating thing is that the government itself uses copper dollars to buy grain and goods, but it does not need copper dollars for tax collection, or estimates the price of copper dollars very low. Farmers are okay, they have their own grain, citizens and workers, under the depreciation of the copper dollar, they can't even afford rice, and now the rice grabbing incident has appeared in various places, according to the intelligence department's prediction, six will continue to depreciate the copper dollar for a few years, and the rice rush will become more and more popular. Therefore, for them, the revolution is no different from the robbery of rice, or to put it mildly, the revolution is to exchange for a new government that can stabilize the currency and prices, and does not have excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the oppression of the gentry, in order not to be bullied, so that their children do not starve, they are completely willing to pay for the revolution with blood and life;

Gentry, rich people - relatives and nobles are incompetent, buying officials have to wait, rights and interests are occupied, foreign officials are bullying, those who have no money suffer from hunger, those who have money are afraid of having no power, the gentry have always relied on the government, but since the beginning of Wuxu, the political situation has changed, many stupid gentry have been dragged down, since Xin Chou proposed the new policy, they are not completely sure how long this new policy can last, only to wait and see in recent years before starting large-scale business, running schools, but what if the policy of the imperial court changes again? Was he killed again and his home ruined again? Therefore, for them, the revolution is to seize power, and if the big power cannot be seized, the small power is always wanted, and there is no place for the court, but the place must be the head. Although they are not willing to donate blood and die like those before them, they are still willing to pay for the money and say what they want. In fact, in their view, constitutionalism and revolution are the same, and the key is whose life is revolution, and if there is no way to establish a constitution, they are willing to support the revolution that only revolutionizes the life of the Manchurians.

Tenant farmers, homeless people –

……

Revolution is only a fictitious concept, based on their own positions and insights, different people speak of it as different, expecting it to bring different things to themselves, and at the same time, these people are implicated in each other, if they want to go to the towns and villages to set up regimental training, the gentry cannot get around, if they want to move the peasants. The clan and the clan party could not get around it, so it was a strategy for the Revival Society, a manufacturer of revolutionary products, to set up different product divisions and then package the revolution in different ways according to the expectations of people from different positions. Don't get the gentry and the party done. The grassroots level will not be able to penetrate deeply, and the township leagues will not be able to establish and infiltrate. The general line of the first one, in the final analysis, is to unite the gentry, the party, and the clan in the name of constitutionalism and under the pretext of self-government. One qiē is centered on opening and infiltrating group training. In short, it is a "regimental training revolution" or "township regiment revolution".

According to the actual situation, it is not difficult to "train the revolution in regiments," and the key is to make the gentry and the government think that you are harmless and love the government, such as the Shanghai merchant group, the Hankou merchant group, the large and small township groups in various places, and the insurance team in the northeast are all established in this way in the name of preventing bandits and theft. Of course, these regimental exercises are in addition to the merchant group. The equipment is very poor, the number of people is not large, the few are only a few dozen, the number is only two hundred, but the collection of small is more, and when the revolution starts, the countless township regiments will be gathered, and it will be a huge army. Coupled with qualified non-commissioned officers, officers, and mortar teams, it will be worse than the Beiyang Army, but if there is an advantage in numbers, then Beiyang will also have to admit it.

At the same time, it does not cost much money to run group training, and many of them can be self-funded, and there are three ways to solve them: one is to suppress bandits. It can not only train the team, but also intercept the windfall; Second, for tax collection, since the group exercise has been held, the party is safe. The person who is protected has to pay money, which is the routine of the Northeast Insurance Team; The third is smuggling, since it is a local tyrant, then it is not a big deal to sell smuggled salt and produce some tobacco and soil. Although these three things cannot make a lot of money, they are still enough to support themselves;

On the way to meet with 6 Bang, Yang Rui recalled the previous things again, although the "regimental training revolution" is completely feasible, but he still feels that it has not penetrated to the bottom, because in the final analysis, the "regimental training revolution" is still based on the gentry and expands downward, rather than directly based on the peasants themselves, which has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the peasants have always listened to the gentry, and it is not difficult to pull up a group of people; The disadvantage is that in addition to the self-run group exercises, if you want to use those existing group exercises, you must unite those gentry who run the regiment, if the Manchus blindly disagree with the people, if the Manchus finally win the hearts of the people, then it is very likely that these people will be cowardly when things come, and it is still unknown how many people can be pulled out at that time.

"Sir, it's here." When Yang Rui still closed his eyes and thought about it, Chen Guangshou had already woken him up.

"Oh......" Yang Rui is still unsatisfied, he only thinks that Guangxu's exit from the mountain is a great unstable factor, what if the society is stable when he arrives in Xinhai, and the gentry return to their hearts? When he heard this, he got up and got out of the car, and then entered a theater, and under the turn and turn, in the room behind the theater, he saw 6 rings.

6 Wan did not know a report and returned to Shanghai, and then was received by the leaders of the meeting, his report was not completely written by him alone, many of them were his own family accounts, but in line with the principle of doing things personally, under the guidance of the account room, he verified the things that the account room said one by one, and then wrote this report.

Yang Rui looked at this young man who was sitting in the corner and was a little cramped, especially when he saw that the collar on the top side of his clothes was not turned out, and he had a smile in his heart, and he understood that 6 Wan was a little nervous. He looked at the 6 Arms who stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go down." ”

6 sat down upright, Yang Rui said again: "I heard that you want to join the army?" ”

Before coming, Chen Guangshou had introduced the situation of 6 years, the people of Jinan, Shandong, the children of rich families, thousands of acres of fertile land at home, but they had always rebelled, and they could not see foreigners rampant, so they left home and went to Shanghai to join the Fuqing Youth League (Revival Youth League), and then because of the revolutionary ideas for the preparatory members of the Fuxing Association, after the Shandong immigration work was carried out, they were transferred to Huangxian and other places, and they worked hard and had a spirit of dedication. Although he always wanted to join the army, he was never allowed to be contacted based on political considerations - his family was too rich.

"Yes. Mr! 6. The conversation that began unexpectedly began with this.

"Why?" Yang Rui asked again.

"I ...... I like it! "6 Wan doesn't know how to say such a reason, in other words, others will say for the country, for the nation, but for 6 Wan's such a simple and straightforward character, he only has three words: I like it.
