Tao Chengzhang left Anqing angrily, he has been down the river, he passed through Shanghai did not get off the boat but went directly to Zhejiang, Ao Jiaxiong in eastern Zhejiang, Wei Lan in western Zhejiang are his old acquaintances, but the two have different ideas in the face of things, Ao Jiaxiong thinks that at this time the party training has been completed, and thousands of party troops can fight, and Wei Lan said that the party has become an army, and the behavior is moderate, and the deployment is well-organized, but it is necessary to practice diligently, and also said that now the military power is in the committee, controlled by Yang Jingcheng, he does not nod The army can not be mobilized, It will definitely not work.

When Tao Chengzhang saw him say this, he still didn't believe it at first, but after meeting with a few former party leaders, the army is indeed firmly controlled by the Fuxing Society, and the military discipline in the army is strictly regulated, and not a single soldier can be mobilized without an order. So he had no choice but to transfer to Shanghai, but he didn't look for Yang Rui first, but Cai Yuanpei first. He and Cai Yuanpei had known each other as early as the year of Ren Yin (19o2), when the Sichuan capital he went to Japan to study was still given by Cai Yuanpei.

Cai Yuanpei watched Tao Chengzhang appear outside the door, so he beat everyone in the room away, then turned around and looked at Tao Chengzhang and said, "Do you still know to come back?" You're going to be expelled from the club. ”

"If expulsion can make a difference, then it's better to expel the membership." Tao Chengzhang was still infatuated and impassioned, and he said again: "Now the Alliance and the Japanese Notification Association are preparing for an uprising, and they will do something in the near future, but we have not done anything." ”

"Who said that nothing was done, and now there are many things to do in the club." Cai Yuanpei looked at Tao Chengzhang's angry appearance and shook his head. He actually admired Tao Chengzhang very much, especially admired his courage in going north to assassinate Cixi several times, but now. What I admired in the past has become something that I am very helpless.

"Do what?" Tao Chengzhang said with a smile: "Do a good job and prepare to sit in the world after the success of the revolution, right?" All I think about is the success of the revolution and the success of retirement, but some people are not like this, Brother Xiaomin, don't you see it? ”

"You ......" Cai Yuanpei was really angry this time, and the revolution had been divided into three levels, the simplest of which was the regime revolution. After that, there was the economic revolution and the cultural revolution, and these things were extremely heavy, and even if they were busy for a hundred years, they might not be able to complete them. "Huanqing. What's wrong with you, have you forgotten the three-tiered revolution mentioned in the jì meeting, you ......"

Tao Chengzhang did say these words for a reason, and he also talked in detail with the people of the Alliance for several days during the log meeting. The news that the League would know was very different from what he knew in Beijing. In addition, Qiu Jin from the Chinese Public School before coming to Cai Yuanpei had something to say to him, so he had such words.

"Brother Xiaomin, was the gunman who killed Cixi taught by Yang Jingcheng?" Tao Chengzhang did not respond to Cai Yuanpei's accusation, but talked about another issue.

"You...... Where did you hear that? "Only a few members of the meeting know about the sniper, and Cai Yuanpei didn't expect Tao Chengzhang to know about it.

"Mr. Qiu said some, and then I guessed some." Tao Chengzhang was talking about Qiu Jin, she was familiar with Fang Junying and others, so she naturally guessed that it was the guns and bullets that Mr. Wen paid for them. The members of the League said that Mr. Wen in Tokyo in the past was Yang Jingcheng, and Tao Chengzhang guessed that Yang Jingcheng funded and taught the two gunmen who killed Cixi.

"What does the incident have to do with those two gunmen?" Cai Yuanpei knew it. But it's hard to admit it, so I have to avoid the important and light.

The people of the League also said that Yang Jingcheng was the illegitimate son of the Tartar noble, called Aixin Jueluo. Zai Rui founded the Revival Association to prevent our revolutionary party from doing anything. The more Tao Chengzhang said, the more certain he became, "Brother Xiaomin, you say, is this Yang Jingcheng of unknown origin?" And he instructed two gunmen to kill Cixi, but Guangxu who was walking with Cixi was unharmed, isn't this a conspiracy? ”

Cai Yuanpei wanted to refute it before, but the more Tao Chengzhang said it, the faster he said, the more sure he became, he had to be brought into this speculative conspiracy, thinking about it carefully, but there was something suspicious, the first said not to fill the line, and then said that he wanted to be patriotic, and then he just took the students to the northeast to fight, saying that it was to exercise the army and enrich the strength, and when the Russo-Japanese war was over, it was time to riot, and said that it would take several years to prepare, and at the same time spent a lot of money on education, and sent students abroad, and these students did not preach revolutionary ideas, Just ask them to love science......

Yang Rui's actions have been repeated in Cai Yuanpei's heart, and there is really no evidence of Yang Rui's row, although he said the truth about studying abroad, but he didn't say much about Sang Zi, and even returned to China for many years and did not go home to worship the ancestral grave, which ......

When Cai Yuanpei's brows tightened, he suddenly thought of the matter of the former Ming clan, so he laughed and said: "It will never be a full of relatives and nobles, if it is, then what kind of former Ming edict will not be taken out." ”

"But that's just a testament, and what can this prove, then gather the revolutionary party in one place, so that the Manchus can be wiped out. Brother Xiaomin, the origin of this person is unknown. Tao Chengzhang was deeply poisoned by the propaganda of the Alliance, and Qiu Jin told him about the gunman of the Alliance in the morning, and he didn't know the details of the meeting, so he was deeply afraid of Yang Rui's identity.

"Huanqing, I, Uncle Mei, Xian Feng, Zixun, and Xiao Xu are all watching, are they blind? Don't listen to the rumors of the League. It must be my Han people, and it is by no means a Manchurian family. Cai Yuanpei turned out of the conspiracy, and suddenly felt extremely relaxed in his heart, but just now there was a cold sweat on his back, and he forgot to reprimand Tao Chengzhang.

Seeing what Cai Yuanpei said, Tao Chengzhang is not good at studying this matter further, in fact, he also feels that this matter is really too big, and a bad revolution will be ruined in one fell swoop. "Brother Xiaomin, even so, if you don't do it sooner, it will only let Guangxu sit on the throne, I have traveled all the way from Beijing, and I have not heard anyone say that Guangxu is not good, only that with him, I will definitely be able to make China rich and strong. Isn't that a good thing? ”

"But we're not ready, we'll have to wait a few more years." Cai Yuanpei also felt that something should be done, but he disagreed during the meeting.

"Don't wait, wait! Wait for the people's hearts to be on Guangxu's side. ”

"......" Cai Yuanpei shook his head. There was a sudden silence in the room.

When both of them were relatively silent, suddenly there was a knock on the door of a student. Cai Yuanpei answered, and it was his assistant who came in, and Ben looked anxious. He saw a stranger beside him, tried to speak, and swallowed back. "Come inside." Cai Yuanpei saw his appearance and led the person into the inner room. Tao Chengzhang knew the confidential matter he wanted to talk about, so he waited outside with peace of mind, but he didn't want a voice to come out from inside, "What? Mutiny?! ”

As soon as he heard the word "mutiny", Tao Chengzhang stood up, and wanted to go to the door to hear something, but he didn't open the door with a bang. He was caught by Cai Yuanpei for wanting to eavesdrop, but Cai Yuanpei looked anxious, and he didn't have time to see if he was eavesdropping or doing something else. He just wants to go to Wan'anli now, and I'm afraid this move will start early.

When Cai Yuanpei threw Tao Chengzhang in the office room and went to Wan'anli, the other three people in Shanghai had already gathered, and as soon as he entered the conference room, he asked, "What's the matter?" Did Beiyang really rebel? ”

Everyone else shook their heads. Wang Jitong said: "It's not clear, Zhili only said that the third and fourth towns of Beiyang mutiny, and the sixth town of Nanyuan, Beijing, were also mutiny. "It's already June, it's hot, and it's critical, Wang Jitong is sweating.

"Ahh Cai Yuanpei gasped. "This ...... Is this Yuan Shikai going to rebel! ”

Next to him, Zhang Taiyan also said: "It seems that we can't stay still!" ”

Yang Rui looked at their reactions, did not speak, just looked serious. In fact, Cixi's funeral ended. Guangxu began to deal with important matters in a big way, in addition to changing the official system and cutting the governor. The most important thing is to deal with Yuan Shikai. His attitude towards these three things was extremely tough, and the change of the official system made many old ministers and relatives who had lost power come to him to cry, but he ignored them all, and only wanted to change this official system to make it more troublesome to cut the governor, but now the governors everywhere have not rebounded; As for Yuan Shikai's matter, he originally wanted to kill it with a holy decree, but this matter was too big, and the foreigners also exerted a lot of pressure, so he had to put the matter in the court to discuss it.

Not to mention the military aircraft department, Xu Shichang is also Yuan Shikai's descendant, plus Lu Chuanlin, Qu Hongji, and Lin Shaonian of the Qingliu family who did not want to change the constitutional system to the official system, a total of five people, against Rongqing, Tieliang, and Shixu on Zaize's side, it is completely overwhelming, but Lu Chuanlin, Qu Hongji and others have some similar opinions and some differences between Tie Liang and others, Tie Liang wants to kill Yuan Shikai, and then take the military power of the six towns of Beiyang into his own hands, and the opinion of Qingliu is to remove Yuan Shikai, and then send Qing Yuan to calculate some time ago, Cen Chunxuan, who has already entered Beijing to face the saint, is the minister of Beiyang.

They thought like this, Tie Liang and the others naturally disagreed, thinking that Tie Liang was the first to say that he would kill Yuan Shikai when he was in charge, and now the Qingliu people pushed Cen Chunxuan out to rob Hu, how can there be such a reason, and the imperial meeting suddenly became a mess. However, in the end, this matter is divided into two things, one is to kill Yuan or not, and the other is who will have the control of Beiyang. In the previous matter, the Qingliu had no opinion, and the recall and killing had nothing to lose to them, while Yixuan and Xu Shichang could not agree, but Guangxu's killing of Yuan was a powerful move, and his temperament was cowardly and radical on the other, and now that Cixi is dead, the cowardly side has disappeared without a trace; Besides, Qing Yuan's strength in the court and in the local area is very great, Yuan Shikai's power is mainly in the Beiyang New Army, but the strength of Yixiao's side is all over the provinces, and he is a prince, so he can't kill in vain, so he can only kill Yuan Xiaoqing.

Guangxu's decision to kill has been decided, but what the holy decree says is only to dismiss and take office, and there is no mention of the killing point, I am afraid that this is also to not offend foreigners, but his heart of punishment is known to everyone. Seeing this, King Yixuan of Qing asked for a dismissal of the military aircraft, Xu Shichang also asked for resignation, and Guangxu was allowed in court. However, when this holy decree was still in the Forbidden City, it smelled of the Beiyang Mutiny.

There was a mutiny in history, and it was also born when the regent Zaifeng and others wanted to kill Yuan Shikai, but it was just Duan Qirui's revenge and the act of confusing the truth, but this time it was Yuan Shikai's intention, and his purpose was the same as in history, just to save his life. The matter of the Sixth Town was completely instigated by the soldiers to become chaotic, and there were rumors in the army that once Lord Yuan went, the Sixth Town would not only be disbanded, but also investigate the rebellious party to set an example; The third and fourth towns were deliberately instigated by the commanders, and Duan Qirui and Wu Fengling deliberately caused trouble.

The mutiny was intentional, and some people everywhere deliberately exaggerated its scale to scare Guangxu, but while intimidating Guangxu, the people of the Revival Society were also taken aback.

"Since it's a mutiny, why don't you just pull troops to rebel?" Although Yang Rui is not clear about the mutiny in history. I don't understand what the real plot of this mutiny is, but he only feels that if he wants to rebel, Yuan Shikai will directly raise troops. Why do you want to play such a play?

"That's just testing the attitude of the imperial court, and at the same time, it's also testing the meaning of the non-Yuan system leader in the army. If this mutiny is not handled properly, it will turn into a rebellion. Zhang Taiyan fanned the white fan, no longer calm, and worried about the current situation.

"In fact, we should support Yuan Shikai's rebellion, and even respond to Yuan Shikai's rebellion, telling him that he only needs to raise the banner and rebel. Then our side will respond immediately. Cai Yuanpei brought up the old matter again, and the last time he tried his best to support Yuan Shikai's rebellion.

"No! Even if Yuan Shikai killed Guangxu, he would not be able to revive China. Yang Rui is no longer so tactful this time as last time. Rather, it is a direct denial.

"But he can overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore China, and that's enough!" Cai Yuanpei was so excited that he was afraid of falling his glasses and held them with his hands.

But what good will it do to the people? They still live a life that is not as good as cattle and horses. China will still be bullied by foreign powers. From a practical point of view. Except that Yuan Shikai was a Han Chinese, his behavior was no different from that of the Manchus, and China was not necessarily better in his hands than the Manchus. Yang Rui was also angry, when did it happen, how could the leadership of this revolution be given to Yuan Shikai.

"But you can't say that we can do better than Yuan Shikai." Cai Yuanpei didn't know how to think of Tao Chengzhang's words in his heart, but he felt that many of Yang Rui's thoughts were really strange.

"Of course, we can do better than Yuan Shikai, can Yuan Shikai go deep into the countryside, can he build a university? Do you know how to straighten out China's finances, he is a bureaucrat. It's just that this bureaucrat is more capable than other straw bales. ”

Yang Rui's rebuttal made Cai Yuanpei's momentum wane, but his counterattack was also extremely sharp, "But no matter how bureaucratic he is, he will not be touched to bed by Japanese detectives, and he will not teach two gunmen to cause today's unfavorable situation." ”

"You ......" Yang Rui stood up when he heard this, his face had turned red, and he couldn't say a word. Xiao Yinfeng's matter was already the biggest stain on him. When he is usually fine, he will think that if he criticizes himself in the future, then this matter will be the most deadly - when the time comes, others will not say that this woman was put in by a drunk student, but will only say that he stole it with his own heart; It will not be said that only Xu Liezu and the two guards were lost, but it must be said that the casualties of the 2,800 and 83 casualties of the independent army were also caused by him. But even then he is powerless, and everyone is already dead, so what can he do? Let's talk about extinguishing mouths, not to mention that the staff officers in the army know that even if they can kill Yang Rui, they don't want to do this.

"Brother Xiaomin, this matter has already been reviewed at the meeting. The situation in the Northeast is chaotic, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and it is not entirely to blame for such a thing. Wang Jitong has a clear understanding of the whole thing, and from a fair standpoint, he thinks that this matter is Yang Rui's carelessness, but it can't be said that it is his fault, in fact, the biggest responsibility for this matter lies with Xu Liezu, if he doesn't advocate putting Xiao Yinfeng in the account, there will be no such thing, but who can blame a martyr?

"Poor people, this matter has passed, and there is nothing wrong with it, so don't mention it. Now the most important thing is to do something. Zhang Taiyan learned about this from Wang Jitong when he was in prison, and he was extremely angry when he heard it, but he thought about it and felt understandable, besides, even if there was no Xiao Yinfeng, the independent army was still surrounded, and the most critical thing in the first battle of Fengtian was that the second division Zhang Zongchang surrendered to the enemy, and it had nothing to do with Xiao Yinfeng.

Yang Rui had already sat down, his face was calm and he didn't speak at all, Cai Yuanpei also knew that his words were too much, but where the face was, it was not good to apologize, and it was not good to say anything else, it was also silent. After Zhang Taiyan spoke, there was silence in the attic, and Wang Ji Tongcai said for a long time, "If you want to do something, then the preparation is also insufficient, what can a thousand guns do, and those who have just been reorganized, the training has not been completed, and if they encounter the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is very likely that they will disperse in a hurry." ”

"But Zhejiang's new army has only one battalion, and it is only more than 900 people," since the last time he said that the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was in trouble, Cai Yuanpei has the heart to understand the strength of the Manchu Qing in Zhejiang, and now the Manchu army in Zhejiang is really extremely weak.

"What about the Green Battalion and the Patrol Battalion?" Wang Jitong knows much more about the strength of the army than Cai Yuanpei, "There are many rivers in Zhejiang, and there are no gunboats, how can the battle be won?" Besides, it is not difficult for Nanjing to transfer troops to Zhejiang, and this governor Zhang Zengqi is also the nephew of Huguang Zhangzhidong, and when the time comes, the new army of Hubei, the old army of Jiangbei, and the inland gunboats of the navy will come. How is this battle going to be fought? ”

"But Beijing is now in chaos, and the League and the Japanese Notification Association are preparing for an uprising, and they will do something in the near future. At that time, there will be chaos in various places, and Zhejiang, the Manchu Dynasty, will not be able to take care of it at all. Besides, haven't we planned so many policies for the founding of the country, can't we try them out in Zhejiang first? Cai Yuanpei looked at everyone while holding his glasses, he was also infected by Tao Chengzhang's generosity, and he only felt that the banner of righteousness was raised, and Zhejiang was immediately in hand.

"And in what name do we do it?" Zhang Taiyan also seems to have fallen into the move. Began to ask for its details. "Is it for the Revival Society, or for the foregoing?"

He looked at Wang Jitong and Yang Rui, but Wang Jitong was silent. Yang Rui was stared at by him for a while before he said: "The premise of all the people is that Beijing is already in chaos, and the revolutionary parties in various places will raise things, but what if there is no chaos in Beijing, and the revolutionary parties in various places do not raise things?" Huaxing will also talk about things in the past. But it's not even the end of the story. The news leaked out, and I didn't quite believe the words of the revolutionary party. If something really happens, the result must be that the Manchus will be wiped out. ”

"But we still have 40,000 troops outside the Guan...... Cai Yuanpei actually really thinks that what can be relied on is the Fuxing Army outside the Guan.

"There are 40,000 troops, and it will be great if they reach Mukden, and now the Japanese are withdrawing their troops, and once they do something, they will definitely be on the side of the Manchus, and then the Manchus will borrow troops to help suppress them. It does not affect the overall situation of Kannai at all. It's just a big deal to sell some rights and interests, and it's not that the Manchus haven't done this. Again. Now only half of the military equipment has been shipped, and half of it will not be transported to Tonghua until the end of the month. Yang Rui feels that the current situation is that he and Wang Jitong are not in favor of raising things, while Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Taiyan are in favor of raising things, so that the two of them can't say a result when it gets dark, and now I don't know what Zhong Guanguan, Yu Zixun and Mr. Hua Feng think. Yu Zixun, a young man, is expected to be in favor, and Mr. Hua Feng is expected to be opposed, so what about Zhong Sightseeing?

"How can this Japanese be on the side of the Manchurians, what the Manchurians can promise, we can also... Some less important conditions will be agreed upon. "Forced by the shape shì, Zhang Taiyan still sold the country incompletely, twisting and pinching like a girl.

"What kind of government is Japan?" Yang Rui asked.

"The emperor system."

"What about us?"

"Republican."

"Do you say that an emperor-based Japan is full of food and nothing will support China to build a republic? Doesn't that mean that Japan can also be a republic? What will the emperor do then? What about those plutocracy? Yang Rui has long seen through Japan's bottom line, so he said confidently, "As long as the Chinese revolution is together, Japan must support the Manchus." ”

"But why do they support the revolutionary party so much?"

"The Japanese government hopes that the revolutionary party will make trouble and then take advantage of the chaos to make profits, but there are many people in Japan who oppose the emperor, and they hope that after the Chinese republic, they can help Japan to republic. Therefore, with regard to the revolutionary party, some Japanese people appropriately support it, some Japanese support it with all their might, and some people do not care whether it is the emperor or the republic, and only think that if China is strong, then the yellow race will be able to practice the Monroe Doctrine of Asia and declare that Asia is the Asia of Asia, so they will do their best to support the Chinese revolution, but no matter what kind of doctrine those people fight, the Japanese government will not want a republic in China. ”

After Yang Rui finished speaking, everyone knew that there was no play in the Northeast containment, and now they could only hope that the Japanese Notification Society and the Alliance would also act at the same time as the chaos in Beijing, but Beijing did not say it, and the Japanese Notification Association and the Alliance Association were unreliable. However, Yang Rui knew that they were unreliable, Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Taiyan did not think they were unreliable, especially the Rizhihui, which claimed to have nearly 10,000 people in Wuchang, and had a great influence. Therefore, the final result of the meeting was to send telegrams to Hubei and Tokyo to inquire about the two sessions; At the same time, he called the Northeast, the United States, and Germany again to ask Mr. Hua Feng, Yu Zixun, and Zhong Guanguan's views on the matter.

Since we have to wait for the return from everywhere, the meeting can only end, Yang Rui stood in front of the window on the third floor of Wan'anli, looking outside, the sun had gone down a lot in early summer, the street was bustling with pedestrians and foreign cars, and the cloth signboard hanging outside the store was also spinning in the wind, he suddenly wanted to walk on the street and breathe. Today's words made him guilty and annoyed, but he had no way to do it.

"Hey......" After smoking a cigarette, Yang Rui sighed, and at the same time spit out the cigarette, the cigarette butt in his hand also flicked out hard, the inextinguishable cigarette butt was blown out of the window by the wind, suddenly red, and then floated down with the wind, Yang Rui watched the cigarette butt float straight into the neckline of a foreigner who sat in a Toyo car, the foreigner was very cool in the car, but he didn't want to burn his neck, and immediately shouted, the driver in front of him didn't know why the foreigner called, and thought that the foreigner was too slow, and suddenly ran up.

Looking at the screaming foreign hairy man on the car that went to the East, Yang Rui laughed, but after laughing, he felt that he was too naΓ―ve and boring. He shook his head and said to Chen Guangshou beside him, "Let's go, go to the street." (To be continued......)
