The simple meeting with the Huaxing Society on the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year cast a shadow on the relationship between the Revival Society and the Alliance Association in the future. As Yang Rui expected, in many ways, he and some revolutionaries could not be tolerated, on the one hand, there were fighters, who tried to turn things around with their own strength, but they were repeatedly defeated and defeated; On one side are the Assassins, patiently waiting for a single blow to kill them, but they appear to be weak and do nothing. Yang Rui spent the night thinking about the possible union between the two, but he couldn't think of any good plan. Originally, he thought that he could win over Huaxinghui, Huang Xing and others before Sun Wen, but now it seems that there is indeed no basis for alliance with such radical revolutionaries. This can't help but remind him of a movie called World War, under the attack of aliens, the male protagonist and his daughter hide in a man's house, and the two people who should be united kill each other because of their different attitudes towards foreign enemies. Will we and the Alliance do the same?

Yang Rui fell asleep with such a question, so much so that he was still tired when he saw Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong the next day. Under the call of the "Queen" (pound), Yang Rui and Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong were able to have a convenient place to speak, and as soon as they saw Yang Rui and Zou Rong, they asked excitedly in a low voice: "Actually, how is the revolutionary army?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "There are already hundreds of people, and there will be thousands of people in the second half of the year." Wait for you to come out, and we will destroy the Manchus together. ”

Zou Rong and Zhang Taiyan were overjoyed when they heard this, Zhang Taiyan said: "Actually, then when will we raise righteousness, a few days ago, they came strictly, saying that they had established the Huaxing Association in Tanzhou and were ready to raise righteousness in the near future, I wanted to contact you, but unfortunately you are not there." ”

Speaking of this headache topic again, Yang Rui said: "I haven't slept well all night for this problem, Uncle Mei, you said that if they succeed in raising righteousness, what will happen?" ”

Zou Rong next to him said anxiously: "As long as one province is seized, then the anti-Qing people will gather, and other provinces will respond one by one, and then you can be like Zhu Yuanzhang back then, the Northern Expedition to the Tartars, and the establishment of a republic." Xingyan said......"

Yang Rui was speechless, a provincial uprising in each province correspondingly It was after the Qing court made a royal cabinet and announced the state-owned railway, which completely offended the constitutionalists. Zhang Taiyan was not younger than Zou Rong and easily excited, he saw Yang Rui's hesitant expression, he interrupted Zou Rong's fantasy and said, "Actually, do you have other ideas?" ”

Yang Rui sighed and said, "Yes." I do not agree with their joint proposal. As soon as these words came out, Zou Rong became excited, and was about to speak but was stopped by Zhang Taiyan, "They mainly rely on the strength of the party to raise righteousness, but these parties are difficult to achieve, and when the time is not ripe, if there is no specific plan after success, it will end with the Hongyang Rebellion." ”

Zhang Taiyan pondered Yang Rui's words carefully, "Then when do you think the time will be ripe?" ”

After thinking about it, Yang Rui replied: "There are two things, one is that the successor after Cixi's death made a mistake that made the Qing court completely lose the support of the people, and the other is that we have more than 100,000 troops, and at the same time, we have about 20,000 administrators who have taken over the entire country. ”

Yang Rui's statement made Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong gasp, originally thinking that he was hesitant and didn't want to revolution, but who knew that he would be ruthless. Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong asked: "Cheng Cheng ......" After the courtesy, Zhang Taiyan asked: "Cheng Cheng, how do you know that after Cixi's death, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will have big unpopular measures, if they don't make mistakes, then how can this revolution succeed?" Besides, isn't Guangxu a comeback after Cixi's death? Guangxu implemented the law change when he was in Wuxu, quite famous, Kang Liang and his party waited for him to come out and regain the throne, if he came back as the emperor, the Manchu world was only afraid of being more stable. ”

Yang Rui said with a smile: "After Gengzi, Cixi implemented a new policy in order to save the hearts of the people, which made the Manchu court embark on a road that he had not walked, as long as he was not familiar with this road, then overturning was a common thing." Cixi is seventy this year, she can't live for many years, you say that Guangxu will come back after his death, I think it's impossible, do you say that Guangxu won't hate Cixi, don't you hate Yuan Shikai, Cixi will definitely think about what happened after her death before she dies, Yuan Shikai also has to keep his wealth, and those later parties aren't worried about Guangxu's comeback to liquidate them? In my opinion, when Cixi dies, Guangxu will die. ”

Yang Rui knows history, but judging from the situation at the time, Guangxu's death is an inevitability, and the party is not at ease after he does not die, and Cixi is even more worried about being liquidated behind him, and he is even more uneasy. Of course, only he dared to say such words with certainty, and for fear that he would change history, he said: "Uncle Mei, Wei Dan, there is a way that cannot be revealed." Today, I'm talking about not getting into the ears of a third person, in case Guangxu doesn't die, it will be a big trouble. ”

Zhang Taiyan was still thinking about the possibility of Yang Rui's words, but Zou Rong asked: "Actually, even if it is not Guangxu's comeback, then Cixi chooses another emperor as long as he does not lose the support of the people, it is difficult to wait until the time is ripe as you say." Besides, how can this 100,000-strong army be built? Now the new army organized by the Qing court is only 40,000 or 50,000, can we train 100,000 troops? Where do you put it after you practice it? Although he was shocked by Yang Rui's majestic momentum, Zou Rong still couldn't think of how he could train so many troops, and the army's food and salary were also a big problem.

"It is inevitable that the Qing court will lose the hearts of the people, there are three reasons, first, Cixi has been dictatorial for so many years, according to the habits of character, it is impossible for her to choose a tough person to succeed to the throne, you look like Guangxu, she was trained more smoothly than a cat, not a tough, skillful emperor can not control the current situation, mistakes are inevitable, second, a foreign scholar said that the fall of a regime is not when he is oppressive at its deepest, but when he relaxes the oppression and prepares for reform, and now the Qing court is like this, after the new deal, all kinds of controls are relaxed, Third, the stronger our strength, the more we have the means to induce the Manchus to make mistakes. The path that the Qing court is taking now has never been taken, but we know this road better than he does, and as long as we influence him a little bit in key places, then he will make mistakes. ”

Before Yang Rui finished speaking, Zhang Taiyan interjected: "Actually, what kind of crooked reasoning is this, there is a way that the officials force the people to rebel, and how can there be officials who do not force the people to rebel." He was used to academics, and he was very dissatisfied when he heard Yang Rui's foreigner theory.

At this time, Yang Rui was helpless, he couldn't answer it, and even more so if he didn't answer well. "Uncle Mei, I didn't say that it wasn't the government that forced the people to rebel. Imagine, if you meet a bandit that day, the money under the knife and gun will naturally be robbed, but if the bandit suddenly has no knife and gun that day, will you want to snatch back the money that was robbed before? That's why I say that there is no way to oppose strong oppression, as long as the pressure is relaxed, then the previous pressure will resist. ”

Yang Rui's analogy made Zhang Taiyan more satisfied, in fact, this truth could not be more plain from the perspective of later generations, and the previous propaganda of "where there is oppression, there will be resistance" is completely wrong. North Korea has not resisted for decades, Iraq has not resisted Saddam, and Russian Chechnya has not rebelled during the Soviet era -- the great powers will always wipe out those who resist lightly, but Hong Kong, a small land, protests, marches, and strikes at every turn.

Before Zou Rong was unhappy that Zhang Taiyan interrupted, he continued with the previous question, "It's done, 100,000 troops will cost tens of millions of taels a year, where does so much money come from?" ”

Money is a problem, but Yang Rui still has a solution: "Wei Dan, money is not a problem, we will earn about four million this year, seven million the year after next, and it is estimated that the annual income will be about twenty or thirty million after six years. ”

Zou Rong was a little speechless when he heard this, but it was hard to imagine that such a huge plan could be easily achieved in theory, and he felt that Yang Rui had a bit of a taste of Zhao Kuo's words. In fact, Yang Rui is a bit bragging, but this bull only brags about funds, and in six years, he is not sure that he will earn 30 million a year. Of course, with the information of the time-traveling novel, he could raise so much or more, but he couldn't say that.

Zhang Taiyan listened to Yang Rui leisurely after saying his thoughts, and said, "I actually want to succeed in one battle." ”

Yang Rui nodded, after a few months of thinking, he gave up the previous idea of limited revolution and occupying a few provinces first, he said, "Piecemeal is not able to fight the Qing court, Hong Yang's defeat, in addition to his own internal strife, is also the result of the Qing court asking for the help of foreigners, otherwise it would not have been destroyed so quickly." If it were not for the all-round superiority all at once, the Qing court would have invited foreigners to send troops to quell the rebellion. We must not only oppose the Qing Dynasty, but also guard against foreigners who will insert a knife into us. So the best way is to kill with one blow, and it must be fast, so fast that it is too late for the foreigners to transfer troops, and by the time they are still hesitating, the situation has already calmed down. In this way, no matter how much they threaten and lure, they will not get any benefit from us. ”

Zhang Taiyan still agrees with Yang Rui's idea, at least in the point of guarding against foreigners, if the revolutionary army is unable to overcome the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a long time and cannot hold each other, then the foreigners will intervene, or force or intimidate, and obtain the maximum benefit at the least cost. "I agree with what you said, this revolution really has to be like this. It's just that the Huaxing Association is also a member of the revolution, can we unite them as well? ”

"Hey, why don't I want to?" Yang Rui smiled bitterly, this question tossed him all night, "Huaxinghui These revolutionary parties are full of enthusiasm, if you don't do justice, he still thinks you are Kang Liang's party, yesterday Xiao Xu and I went to talk to them, and it was not very harmonious." For the sake of secrecy, it is impossible for us to tell them completely, and even if we do, they may not agree to it; But if we don't explain the problem, they don't understand us. I thought about it all night, and it would be difficult to fully cooperate with Huaxing. ”

Zou Rong, Zhang Shizhao, and Zhang Ji are sworn brothers, and when they heard this, they said: "Actually, the next time I come to Xingyan, I will tell them that we are brothers, and he will definitely listen to me." ”

After Zou Rong finished speaking, Zhang Taiyan was silent, Yang Rui still smiled bitterly, and said after a while: "Wei Dan, this is not something that can be solved by brotherhood, let's talk about strictness first, he is not in charge in Huaxinghui, he can't decide the direction of Huaxinghui, and even if he is the president of Huaxinghui, for the sake of all members, he can't go against the wishes of all members because of himself." Besides, if we want to convince them, we must involve them in our plan, but we don't know the background of all of them, even if we know who has the possibility of collaborating with the enemy, we can't do anything, and when the plan is leaked, the uprising will be ruined, and we can't afford to die. ”

Zou Rong was confused, as an excellent revolutionary propagandist, he couldn't understand all kinds of problems at the practical level, he turned his head to look at Zhang Taiyan, only to see that Zhang Taiyan was also silent, as if he agreed with Yang Rui's statement. He said dejectedly: "Is this the so-called party struggle? ”

Yang Rui shook his head, "It's not a party dispute, it's just a lack of cooperation." The road is facing the sky, and each one walks on one side. ”

"They are all revolutionary parties, they are all for the country, why can't they unite to overthrow the Manchus?!" Zou Rongqing was very excited, and his voice became louder.

Yang Rui hurriedly silenced him, this was not a secret club, but a reception room for renting a patrol room. "Wei Dan, don't get excited, say something slowly." After his mind calmed down a little, Yang Rui said: "Wei Dan, the alliance you said is very difficult, as long as it is a revolutionary party, it will have to unite, and the result is that there are all kinds of ideas in the group, and no one listens to anyone, and then chaos will be." You must know that the difference is people's thoughts, but the thoughts are difficult to change, and some people will not look back even if they hit the south wall. The best thing to do is to act separately, and then people with the same ideas come together, and this is the real union. Looking at Zou Rong's pain, Yang Rui was also very melancholy, China's revolution is not that there are too few people with lofty ideals, but too many, this is not more people, but more thoughts, so many ideas to save the country are mixed together, and there has never been compromise and unity, as the so-called is not the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west overpowering the east wind, what will happen in the future, he has no way of knowing.
