Chapter Seventy-Four: Separation and Merge

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Who are our peers? Who are our guests? Which guests can make money? Which guests don't make money? This is the most important question of doing business. The reason why people who used to do business lost money was not that they couldn't distinguish which were peers and which were guests; It is also impossible to distinguish which guests can make money and which guests do not make money, so we must distinguish between peers and guests, and we must distinguish the difference between many guests, only by uniting our real guests and attacking our real peers, the business can be successful......

In Nanjing, in the study of the Liangjiang Governor's Office, Duan Fang was looking at the "top secret" document that had been urgently sent from Shanghai, six hundred miles away. If it weren't for the fact that these things were all brought from the hands of the Renaissance Society, he would have thrown away these garbage articles, and the people who wrote them were really uneducated, and even the articles made by Mengxue students were better than this.

At the same time, the article is also very obscure, but after reading it several times, plus a study experience note by Liu Guanghan, Duan Fang finally figured out something, such as this article called "Market Analysis of Cotton Cloth in Chinese Society", if "cotton" is replaced by revolution, it should be "Analysis of Various Groups of People in Chinese Social Revolution"; The "peers" mentioned in it are probably the imperial court, and the guests are divided into several types, such as gentry, citizens, handicraftsmen, yeoman farmers, tenants, homeless people, students, soldiers, etc., and the article makes a detailed analysis of these potential "guests" who buy "cotton cloth".

The author believes that the gentry are guests who can't make money, but they can't lose it, and if there is no gentry to support the façade, then the "peers" will look for trouble, and if the "cotton cloth" really wants to make money, it is to sell it to tenants and homeless people, these defenseless people, only they throw their heads and spill blood for a "cotton cloth"; And students. Although it is also a good guest, it is not a good guest because the number is too small and it is a pity to sacrifice; As for the townspeople, the yeoman farmers, and the craftsmen, they have clothes on them. But it is worn and old, it is difficult to cover the body, as long as it moves, it will also buy "cotton......

After reading the article, Duan Fang felt his scalp numb, and after spending two more hours reading all the essays and study notes, he was completely shocked into a cold sweat. He saw the plot of the Revival Society in these scattered sentences, this is not to kill officials and rebel, this is simply to seize the world! In his understanding, those chaotic parties who waved the flag and then killed the county seat could not shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, even. He also hoped that the revolutionary party would do more righteous deeds, and the more righteous the party would do, the more the strength of the chaotic party would be damaged. However, this revival society did not follow this routine at all, but held up the signboard of the constitution and infiltrated the localities in the name of self-government, and if it was infiltrated by the revolutionary party in this way, it would be a few years later. Is the world still Qing Dynasty?

The Dragon Boat Festival took out a piece of paper and wanted to draft a telegram to send this conspiracy to Beijing, but he stopped without writing two lines, and this telegram was not allowed. Now the situation in Beijing is extremely serious, King Qing is sick at home, Yuan Shikai is staying at home, Zaize and Qingliu are very arrogant, and the Codification Bureau is completely up to Zai Ze and Qu Hongji because of Qing Yuan's loss of power, except for leaving a place for Zaifeng. None of the other Mao was left for Qing Yuan. In the past, it was said that the cabinet could not be established, but now the emperor has brought up the matter of the cabinet again, and as for the prime minister...... Zai Ze wanted to do it, but his qualifications were too shallow, so he could only find the good old man Prince Shiduo to top it first. Then he and Zaifeng became assistants, and then they were replaced.

Since the ministries are going to be abolished, then the governors of various places may not be able to keep it, and Guangxu is still as careful as it was in Wuxu, so this time the governors of various places are ready to make some chaos and arrest the revolutionary party, so as to show that the congress has not yet opened, and the revolutionary party is still in chaos, and at the same time, the gentry are also encouraging them to go to Beijing to petition, and it is good to burn the war to the capital. Duan Fang thought of this section, the pen was put down, the Qing Dynasty is to protect, their own position is also to protect, but the most important thing is their own position, if they are in power, then these two rivers and a place must be safe.

"My lord, Master Yu of Tianzi asks to see you." The next person was reporting outside.

"Oh, is he here?" This Tianzi is the No. 1 merchant in China, not only built a railway in Liaodong, but also built a railway in Anhui, this Master Yu is here for this matter. "Then let him wait in the flower hall first, I'll be there in a moment."

"Yes, sir." After the next person left, Duan Fang picked up the pen again, but this time it was not for Beijing, but for Shanghai Dao Ruizi, he was Zai Ze's brother-in-law, and Duan Fang's subordinate, now the situation is changing, Qing Yuan has lost power, Duan Fang is already making friends with Zai Ze's people, otherwise this official position cannot be stabilized, he and Yuan Shikai are just in-laws, and it is not a big deal to take refuge in the past.

Renheli, Qifeng Residence.

Ying Guixin has been extremely favored since the last time the matter was done, and he has also reaped a lot of benefits, especially now that Guangxu is out of the mountain, the original Lord Zhi has really become Lord Zhi - as soon as he heard the news of Guangxu's departure from the mountain last month, he hurried to the capital. However, although Master Zhi left, he still left, only saying that he would be promoted to be a magistrate or something in the future.

"Second brother, what kind of life are you doing, it's better to follow Master Zhi with your brother." Guifeng was waiting next to her, Ying Guixin ate a few mouthfuls of food, drank a sip of old wine, and began to persuade Chen Qimei not to make a revolution and devote herself to the great cause of royalism. He and Chen Qimei met, or thanks to Chen Qimei's third brother Chen Qicai, Fan Gaotou's apprentice offended foreigners in the past, and Chen Qicai helped settle it, and all the brothers recognized Chen Qimei as their second brother under gratitude.

"Guangxu is out of the mountain to become the emperor, that is also the foundation is not stable, I heard that the capital in order to change the official system of the matter of the sky upside down. In this way, he can still be the emperor for a few days. "Chen Qimei is very neat, and she will never regret what she has identified." Besides, I and Kui Chen are doing the same thing, you don't want to kill the people of the Revival Society, I also want to do this. ”

"Oh, I've always been weird. You are all revolutionary parties, why are you killing and killing," Ying Guixin burped and looked at Chen Qimei with some puzzlement, Chen Qimei didn't speak, Ying Guixin suddenly thought of something for a long time, and then laughed and said, "Haha, can a revolution like you succeed?" The geese didn't come down, so they rushed to say how to eat, haha...... Haha......"

Ying Guixin laughed violently, and was accidentally choked by something in her mouth, "Cough... Cough... cough ......". Guifeng was busy beating his back on the side, and then he heard that the new little girl upstairs was being beaten by her mother, so he went upstairs to persuade him - newcomers are like this, it's okay to be out, once you want to do that kind of thing with a man. resisted very much, I really regarded myself as the eldest lady, in fact, my mother is a businessman, and I raised you to sell you.

Chen Qimei's face was burned by what he said, in fact, he also felt that the League and the Revival Society coexisted in harmony, which was the most beneficial to the revolution. But once that's it. Then these people from the Huaxing Association will throw themselves into the Revival Society, where will Mr. Zhongshan go at that time? Let's talk about the last shooting, although he didn't shoot, but who believes it, now Cheng Jiaqi sent him to Shanghai to assassinate Yang Jingcheng with the Japanese, didn't he just hold his own handle?

"Kui Chen. This revival is a lackey of the Tartars, it is all a fake revolution, and if we don't kill them, what will we do? After Chen Qimei blushed, she began to say excuses that she didn't believe it. Unexpectedly, Ying Guixin, who finished coughing, said: "They fake revolution? They won't let us arrest them if they fake revolutionaries, you guys are in the same room...... But also, there is no other day. There are no two masters of the people, and I will help the second brother with this today. ”

As soon as Chen Qimei heard Ying Guixin say that she wanted to help, she was so busy that she had a glass of old wine with Ying Guixin, and then said, "Kui Chen, is there any movement on the official side recently?" ”

Ying Guixin finished drinking the wine and said: "Don't hide it from the second brother, the officials have been arresting people recently, and if they are arrested, it will be the revival of the party." ”

"Really? Didn't you say some time ago that revival would not be moved? Chen Qimei didn't believe that her luck was so good, when she was looking for Ying Guixin some time ago. He also said that the revival committee said that it could not be caught, but now it has changed its words.

"Some time ago, it was some time ago, and now the Renaissance Society has offended foreign adults by smuggling arms, and the situation in Beijing has also changed, and everyone wants to open the Diet as soon as possible." Ying Guixin is completely hearsay. I don't know what it is, in fact, Shanghai Daotai Ruizi thinks about this Zaize, and doesn't want to arrest people, but Duanfang said that arresting people is arresting people, as long as they don't publicize that they are reviving the party and messing with the party. Ruizi thought that this was indeed the truth, and the pressure from foreigners was very high, considering that he was about to be transferred to Jiangsu as a political envoy, neither the foreigner nor the Duan side should be offended, so he agreed.

"Oh" Chen Qimei put down her chopsticks and thought for a while, then looked at Ying Guixin and said, "What about killing?" Seeing that Ying Guixin was stunned, he was busy pouring wine for Ying Guixin, and said with a smile: "I will never cause trouble to Kuichen." Besides, if you kill the leader of the Revival Society, then you will have to deal with the adults. ”

"That's the case, but who does Yang know? Do you want to kill that surnamed Wang? Yang Rui rarely appeared in Shanghai, even if he participated in the opening ceremony of Tongji University Hall, but it was far away, and he knew afterwards that it was Yang Jingcheng, but in retrospect, he knew that he was a man in his thirties, and he really couldn't say what he looked like.

"You don't know, but I do." The Mr. Wen that Chen Qimei met in Tokyo was Yang Jingcheng, and he was also in the International Student Hall on the day of the negotiation, and he saw it with his own eyes and remembered it clearly.

"It's useless to know, it's very difficult to find people in the Revival Society, hundreds of thousands of people in the concession, if you don't go out much, who knows where they are. Besides, since it is a long time, how can there be no guards around. Second brother, I think you should not fight this idea, so as not to get into trouble. After all, Ying Guixin and Chen Qimei have the same smell, so persuade him not to cause trouble.

"The husband is not afraid of death, he is afraid that things will not be done." Chen Qimei's mantra came again, "Since you are on this road, how can you turn back." If the Chinese revolution wants to succeed, this Yang must be killed. As for what you said about not finding anyone, I did. ”

"You found it?" Ying Guixin said with a smile, "Brothers, so many people haven't been found, how can you find it." ”

"You don't know this, when Yang Jingcheng first came to Shanghai in the past, he always wrote in the newspaper, and he had to send the manuscript fee for writing, so he could find the address." After Chen Qimei finished speaking, she saw that Ying Guixin was about to refute, so she hurriedly stopped him and said: "The day before yesterday, I pretended to be a postman (note) and took a fake letter to this address, guess what?" ”

"How?"

"The family took the letter." Chen Qimei's eyes lit up, and she said: "This is to say that Yang actually lives in this family, or it is near here." Isn't that found, you say? ”

Ying Guixin was silent for a while when she heard this, and said, "Then have you seen anyone?" ”

Chen Qimei was a little embarrassed and said, "That's not true, but I think this Yang actually lives near there, as long as he waits a few more days, he will probably be able to see people." Kuichen. You're going to have to send a few people to help you......"

Chen Qimei and Ying Guixin will go to the inn after talking, and only after sleeping and waking up will they go to Gaochang Temple Guiye to find Munakata Kotaro, he thought that the Japanese would be very happy to tell him about the situation, but he didn't know that Munakata Kotaro said after listening to his words: "Chen Sang, the situation has changed a little now." The country no longer supports the assassination of Yang. ”

Chen Qimei thought that with the help of the Japanese and Ying Guixin, the assassination was caught, but who knew that there was such a change, and he said in a panic: "Your Excellency Zongfang, you have always supported Premier Sun and our Alliance, why do you support the Revival Society now?" ”

Seeing that he misunderstood. Kotaro Munakata said, "Chen Sang, you misunderstood what I meant. Seeing Emperor Guangxu coming out of the mountains in China, he thought that it would be more difficult for the revolution to succeed, so not killing Yang Jingcheng could make the rule of the Manchus end faster. ”

Chen Qimei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, a few days ago it was said that the people sent by France to China for inspection had revealed their secrets, and now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has sent a note to France. Major Bougapi, who was in charge of liaison with Mr. Nakayama, was now removed from his post and transferred to Vietnam, and if Japan did not support it, the alliance would really be alone.

"Your Excellency, now that Yang Jingcheng's whereabouts have been found, please negotiate with China to complete this matter." Chen Qimei said. Take a deep bow.

There are domestic considerations in Japan, and Kotaro Munakata has the plans of Kotaro Munakata, seeing that the revival will become more and more prosperous, his intention to kill Yang Jingcheng has not changed at all. "Chen Sang," he opened the drawer of his desk and took out a pistol from it, "I also think that Yang Jingcheng should be killed, which will be conducive to the unity of the Chinese revolution." But now that there is an order in the country, all I can do is provide you with weapons. ”

"Weapons?" Chen Qimei looked at the gun on the table, extremely disappointed. Although guns are hard to find, where can they be bought if they have money, what he wants is for Japan to support his funds and killers, and Ying Guixin's side is just a peripheral person, or just a bait. His plan was for Ying Guixin to disrupt Yang Jingcheng's guards, and the Japanese would give him a fatal blow, but who knows......

Chen Qimei's disappointed Zongfang Kotaro saw it in his heart, he took out a stack of Japanese bills from the drawer, and said: "This is my personal savings, Chen Sang really wants to kill Yang Jingcheng, you can take it, and ...... the other" He said a few words in Chen Qimei's ear, and Chen Qimei took the money and the gun and left happily. After he left, Kotaro Munakata spread out his diary and recorded the incident in detail, and he decided that today's events would be of great use in the future.

At the time of Chen Qimei's assassination, Yang Rui was looking at a wall in the attic of Wananli, the wall was covered with pictures of important ministers of the imperial court, and the relationship between everyone had been marked out - during the funeral, no one entered the Bada Hutong, and all kinds of news flew all over Beijing, but to say that the news was reliable and really indistinguishable, but now the situation is unpredictable, so Yang Rui can only hang these people on the wall, so intuitively, then some things that are not usually considered may appear on the wall.

On the opposite side of this wall is a large map of China, which is marked with red flags, a red flag represents five township regiments, and a white flag represents a township regiment.

Because it is the attic of Gaiwa, the last wall of the three walls is a map of the relationship of the concession, on which the Ministry of Industry Bureau, the Qing Gang, and the Japanese East Asian Tongwen Institute are all marked, and the information on it is provided by the undercover agents in the Tongguò Teko, gangs, and patrol rooms.

Yang Rui pointed at the photo of Prince Li Shiduo and said: "What kind of person is this, can he be the prime minister of the cabinet?" ”

"According to the qualifications, when he was in the military aircraft department in the past, he could lead the military aircraft before King Qing, but this is ......" Wang Jitong, the information of the Qing court members, is familiar with his chest, which is also the reason why Yang Rui pulled him here, now the situation in Beijing is unknown, Yuan Shikai is still like a turtle shrunk in the Tianjin Yamen, and he will not go, "There is also that this Shiduo is a prince without a frame, it is said that once Li Lianying bowed to him according to the courtesy, but he also knelt down to Li Lianying, and this matter was a laughing stock in Beijing for a while. Think about such a person, if he really becomes the prime minister of the cabinet, it is also a tablet, and the major affairs in the cabinet are still decided by two assistants. ”

"That is, Zai Ze and Zai Feng?"

"Well, it's the two of them. Zai Ze has pulled a lot of people recently, and the co-organizer Rong Qing and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Kuijun are all on his side, and Zai Feng is on his side, this person is a little unable to support the wall. is too cowardly, and his two younger brothers are also underqualified, so they can't be of much use. However, Zhirui, who was transferred back from Ningxia, Liang Qi, who returned from Japan, and Mr. Zhang Si can be of some great use, and the others are mostly mediocre. But these people are not qualified enough, so they are rashly useful, which is unreasonable. ”

Liang Qi didn't say that Zhirui was Concubine Zhen's cousin, but he didn't expect Zhang Jian to be among them, Yang Ruiqi said: "Isn't Mr. Zhang Si in business?" How can he be counted on Guangxu's side? ”

"He is the protégé of Guangxu's teacher Weng Tongyi. In order to make him the champion back then, Weng Tonggong spent a lot of effort. Mr. Zhang Si went south to do business, also because of the relationship between Wuxu. Now the important ministers of the Guangxu Restoration, such as Wen Tingshi, Jing Yuanshan and others, are almost dead, and the elites, that is, the original military aircraft Siqing, have all been killed, and the rest are some minor figures. Only Liang Qi has a higher reputation, but he is just a person, and it is really impossible for him to take on a big responsibility rashly."

"So, the cabinet is open? As soon as the cabinet opens, then Congress is not far away. Yang Rui looked at the people on the wall, and kept thinking about how to sow discord in order to make the Manchu Han fight. So that in the end, everyone broke up, and the gentry turned to support the uprising. Of course, it is impossible to repeat the story of Xinhai in later generations, and when the overall situation has been decided, it is necessary to cross the bridge and draw the board, unload the mill and kill the donkey.

"That's true, Tie Liang opposed the cabinet at the beginning because the cabinet can't do both, he is also the secretary of the household department, and he is also the minister of the military training department, once the cabinet is established, he can only take one of the two. Now that Guangxu is bent on changing the official system and building a cabinet, Zai Ze estimates that he has reconciled all the contradictions inside. In fact, without a cabinet, there can be no Congress. Guangxu's imperial power is not restricted, even if Zai Ze is the prime minister of the cabinet, he will not be able to last long, once Guangxu's descendants are qualified enough, that is the time for him to go down, so the cabinet and the parliament are also his must take. Wang Jitong shook his head. The internal struggle of the Manchu Qing was too complicated, and it hurt people's heads to think about it.

Wang Jitong asked again: "Now are we pushing or pulling?" "The situation is changing fast, and Wang Jitong can't keep up.

"Of course, we have to stand with the gentry, what they want to do, we will promote in the newspapers, and the opening of the National Assembly is, in the final analysis, to dismember the Manchus and disintegrate the country." Yang Rui did not look at the portraits and character relationship signs on the wall, but turned his eyes to the Ming tile in the attic, it was a sunny day, and the light pillar outside shone through the guò Ming tile, and you could see the spider silk and dust on the tile.

"Disintegration?" Wang Jitong looked at Yang Rui's face looking up at the roof, and suddenly felt that Yang Rui had changed a lot since the Northeast.

"That's right. As soon as the congress opened, the imperial power will decline, and the centralized system will disappear, but since the Qin Dynasty, my China is a centralized system, and the people are used to it, and they will not resist if they have suffering, but will only complain, that is, use bigger officials to suppress smaller officials, once the emperor is gone, the central government will not control to the locality, then they will not even have a place to sue the emperor. Now that the governors of the provinces have great power, and the parliament will be convened again, and once the parliament is opened, the provincial council will also be held, and then the local government will be more nominally self-reliant. If we had done this fifty years earlier, it might have been possible, and it would have been too late to convene Congress......"

Yang Rui raised his head to look at the light shining from the Ming Tile as he spoke, then shook his head and stopped talking. The opening of the National Assembly is divided, so what the Revival Society has to do after the revolution must be combined. This division and integration is China's history, and as for what is said about republicanism and democracy, it really has nothing to do with China. Historically, when the world was united, it was the time when centralized power was at its peak, and when the world was divided, it was when local forces arose. If it is a foreign country, everyone can still sit down and negotiate, and businessmen only count profits when they fight, while China, fighting a war is only counted as politics, and if they don't flatten the heroes and dominate the world, it will be a regret in life. At present, China is suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is not possible to do it without harmony and centralization, and it is only hoped that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will go further and further on the road of separation.

Wang Jitong looked at Yang Rui and didn't speak for a long time, and waited for a while before saying, "It's done, Huanqing is back." ”

As soon as he heard that Tao Chengzhang was back, Yang Rui sighed and said, "This guy is really ......"

PS: Note: At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the postal system was not unified by China, the United Kingdom had a British post office, and the United States had a United States post office ......, so there was no conflict with the postman Lao Deng here.
