Since the third phase of Lushi, the Revival Society has begun to absorb members, but it did not do well at the beginning. Before graduating in November 1904, there were very few Lushi students who joined the Renaissance Society, and the fourth phase began, because of the Renaissance Army's anti-Russian move in the Northeast, the influence of the Fuxing Society among the Lushi students began to increase, but at this time they were still in Zhenwu School, in fact, this is the non-commissioned officer preparatory school, after entering the school for one year and three months, they went to the Japanese wing for half a year of internship, and finally entered the non-commissioned officer school.

For the sake of secrecy, Yu Youren did not arrange the meeting for the next day, but on this week's Tuyao Day -- in order to attract non-commissioned officers and cadets to join, the Revival Association has set up a special seminar on modern warfare, which meets once a week to discuss weapons, tactics, strategy, and other issues in modern warfare.

At noon on this day, after a silent film about the Russo-Japanese War was played, several tall figures came in from outside the room and waited for the front desk. Please welcome all the comrades who will come to the club. ”

Yang Guobi knows Yang Rui completely, but he can't say that this is President Yang Jingcheng, and it's not easy to say that this is not Yang Jingcheng, so he can only be called a comrade. He first attended the Nanjing Army Academy, then graduated from the South African Military Academy, and finally spent a lot of time in the guerrillas, where he was rich in knowledge and combat experience. It was Yang Rui who named him when he went to Tokyo, and if he didn't send a capable officer over, he couldn't show the level of the Fuxing Society.

The applause of the soldiers has always been very warm. But it was precisely because of the enthusiasm that I couldn't hear whether I was welcome or not, and as soon as the chief gave the order, his hands were red. Yang Rui stood in front of the stage, raised his hand and pressed it down, signaled the applause to stop, and said, "Comrades have been studying the army. I am afraid that I do not really understand what a constitution is, so I will talk here today about what a constitution is and what will happen to the Manchu constitution. Ring the nations of the world. There are two kinds of constitutionalists, one is England and the other is Germany and Japan, oh. Now Russia is also constitutional. It should be regarded as the three kingdoms of Germany, Japan and Russia, but no matter what, they are all divided powers, and the power of the emperor is divided. The reasons for the constitution of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were similar to those of Russia, they were all autocratic governments, and because of the repeated mistakes of those in power, the prestige of the government was discredited, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. That's why we had to make a constitution. It can be seen that this constitutionalism is not wishful thinking on their part. Rather, it is forced by the current situation.

Chinese society, has always been the scholar and the imperial power to rule the world, the scholar is the gentry, the previous dynasties, it is very powerful in the local area, but the Manchu Qing is a foreign rule, he did not dare to let the gentry participate in the governance of the place like the previous dynasty, he instead wanted to fight the gentry, in the early Qing Dynasty, the text prison was prosperous, that is, to crack down on the gentry power, in addition to killing, in order to prevent the later gentry from interfering in the government, it is a clear prohibition on the gentry to interfere in local politics, Shunzhi nine years on the promulgation of the inscription of the living people, prohibiting the living members from writing Cheng Yan, It is forbidden for students to form alliances, prohibit students from asking for superiors, transfer power, etc., etc., and all the local powers are officials, scribes, errand servants, and township officials.

All kinds of actions, completely only exclude the gentry from local power, so as to protect the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years, but unexpectedly the Hongyang Rebellion, the original suppressed gentry power suddenly broke out, the gentry not only do politics, is the regimental training also did a lot, the Hunan army, the Huai army in the final analysis are all gentry army, Zeng Guofan disbanded the Hunan army, the first day annihilated the Huai army, but no matter what, this gentry power is up, and now the constitution, is the gentry power and the imperial power of the conflict, even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty used Japan's constitution, the court is in charge, The gentry are in small power, and I am afraid that they will not be able to satisfy these gentry.

The Revival Society was not a group representing the interests of the gentry, and the revolution was not for one million gentry, but for forty million people. We are happy to see power taken away by the gentry from the Manchurians, and this is the reason why we support the constitution, but this does not mean that China will be better off when power is in the hands of the gentry, and with the current gentry atmosphere, the power will not be much better in their hands. What we want is to help the gentry seize power first, and then share power with the gentry.

Sun Tzu Youyun, a soldier, and a sophistication, and the revolution is actually a sophistry. In order for the revolution to succeed, it is natural to practice sophistication and strengthen its power, and when it comes to doing this sophistry, there are many things that cannot be said explicitly in order to keep secrets, and as a member and even more so as a soldier, there is only one thing you must keep in mind, that is, the commander is always right. Do you understand?! ”

Yang Rui said that at the end, he suddenly shouted and asked, "Do you understand?" The nearly twenty cadets in the room immediately replied reflexively: "Yes, sir!" ”

Yang Rui was very satisfied with their reactions, and after they answered, he said: "If everyone does what they want to do, then the Revival Society will do everything well, and if everything is done well, then the revolution will definitely succeed." Although the position of the Revival Society is that it is the people, in order to succumb to the general trend, we have to make some changes, and in this change, what the members want for the Revival Society is trust, and this trust is the same as the trust of soldiers in the battlefield to their commanders, we are not a rabble, we are not afraid of sacrifice, we are an army, if you all think like this, then the success of the revolution is just around the corner. ”

Yang Rui's words can only be said here, his last metaphor made all everyone's doubts disappear without a trace, after the students left, Yang Rui said to Yang Guobi: "How are these students, are they outstanding?" ”

Yang Guobi said with a smile, "If you look at it as a whole, it is not as good as the first phase, but we choose the best of them." This seminar on modern warfare is quite fascinating. ”

"Oh, how can one issue not be as good as one? It stands to reason that the larger the enrollment area, the better the students. Yang Rui was strange.

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but because I became an official as soon as I returned to China in the first period, many of these later ones are related households, and they are not studying to learn the army, but more to be officials. The atmosphere of the country is already ......" Yang Guobi shook his head after speaking, although his family is also a gentry. But the more this is the case, the more things you will see, and what the social atmosphere will be. He knew it.

"Guobi, this is what we want to revolution, if this atmosphere is not changed, the country will not be able to prosper no matter how much it tosses." Yang Rui has long known about the social atmosphere, and he has been angry, but now he is very calm.

"How about Xingyan, did you contact him again after you came?" Yang Rui asked Zhang Shizhao again.

"Him. After a few meetings, he will be more and more recognized for our revival, but it is only because of nostalgia. It's hard to join. "Zhang Shizhao's changes are also extremely peculiar, the revolution was crazy and radical before, but he tossed it several times. Now I'm disheartened.

"Does he live close? I'd like to see him. Yang Rui couldn't help but think about the high-spirited scholar before, if it weren't for his radical words, Su reported that the case would not have happened.

Kanda District is the center area of international students, Zhang Shizhao's apartment is in Haizhou Pavilion, Yang Rui and Yang Guobi arrived, Yang Guobi first knocked on the door to inquire, and when the Japanese landlord said that he was at home, he entered the courtyard with Yang Rui. Zhang Shizhao in the house heard that someone was looking for him. When I came out, it was Yang Rui. Suddenly shocked, the word "actually ......" shouted out and hurriedly covered his mouth, and Yang Guobi next to him hurriedly said: "This is Mr. Wen Side." ”

Zhang Shizhao hurriedly shook his eyes and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Wen." ”

Yang Rui also pretended to be and said with a smile: "It's really a place where you don't meet in life." Brother Xingyan, he said goodbye to Shanghai every day, when there were two years, he was lucky to see each other in this foreign country today. ”

Yang Rui was sighing here, and there was a "bang" in the room, and a voice shouted, "If he doesn't join the meeting, he is the Qing court's detective!" ”

Another voice shouted: "I, Huang Xing, vouch for my personality, and I will never betray my comrades!" ”

After hearing this, Yang Rui asked, "Who is so rude, still yelling here." ”

Zhang Shizhao smiled bitterly, just shook his head, and said, "Mr. Wen is afraid that it is not the right time to come, if you want to catch up with the past, it is better to change the day." ”

Originally, the guest was as he pleased, but the host politely refused, Yang Rui should have left, but he was immediately attracted by the "Huang Xing" in the house, and he didn't know if this Huang Xing was the Huang Xing in history. At the moment, he said: "There are evil guests in the Xingyan family, I went in to drive them out, but it's not easy to catch up, with me as an outsider, they are afraid that it is not too presumptuous." ”

The Renaissance Alliance was originally incompatible with each other, but after it was rumored that the Renaissance Society supported the constitution, the two associations immediately became inseparable, of course, the Renaissance Association did not care about the attack of the Alliance, and it looked like a mountain as immovable, and the China Times did not refute the remarks of the People's Daily. Many things cannot be argued, the more you fight for the other party, the more energetic you are, the greater the impact, no matter what the outcome of the dispute between the small person and the small company and the big man and the big company is, it is a fuss and a fame.

"Mr. Wen, it's better to avoid it. I'm afraid you two factions will ...... when you meet," Zhang Shizhao was saying, there was another loud bang in the room, and after the bang, it seemed that a person was overturned to the ground, and the floor shook and there was a howl, and the previous shouting voice suddenly changed to a vernacular: "Lose your old mother......"

Another voice said, "Lin Sheng, you can't be rough." ”

"Let's go! Hunan people help Hunan people, we have nothing to talk about. The vernacular sounded again, followed by the sound of "boom boom" going out, and after a while, a square-faced man helped a handsome student who had fallen out of the waist, and when he walked past Zhang Shizhao, he snorted with disdain, and threw the stick in his hand in front of Zhang Shizhao, and then he went out of the yard.

Yang Rui couldn't understand what they were doing, but when he saw these two people leaving, he said, "Brother Xingyan, you can invite me into the house now." ”

Zhang Shizhao smiled bitterly, because he only wanted to study, and did not want to participate in politics, so that the alliance would force him to join the association from time to time, today this person is Ma Junwu, he wanted to make a big fuss with a big stick, but fortunately, Huang Xing was present and did not succeed. "Mr. Wen, please. Keqiang and Dunchu are there, and... There are also weak men. ”

"Oh." Yang Rui laughed, he only felt that it was a coincidence.

Zhang Shizhao thought that he was making fun of his relationship with Wu Wannan, his face was ashamed, and he hurriedly said, "Please come in, please come in." ”

Zhang Shizhao's apartment is not big, and the furnishings inside are also very old, I am afraid that his life in Tokyo will not be satisfactory, that is, when he enters the house, there are three men and one woman sitting around the table on the tatami mat, among which the one with a wide face and a stout suit is Huang Xing at that time; The other two are very young, one is wearing a suit and looks moderate, and the other is wearing a kimono and glasses to look more delicate.

As soon as Yang Rui entered the door, Wu Xiaonan jumped up in shock, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Shizhao had already spoken first. "This is Mr. Wen, just from Shanghai."

Wu Wannan is Wu Baochu's daughter, who went to a patriotic girls' school in Shanghai. I had seen Yang Rui, but this time I suddenly saw the president of the revival society appear in front of me, and I was very surprised, but fortunately I was too surprised, so I didn't say anything. After Zhang Shizhao introduced Yang Rui, he introduced the others, "This is Huang Keqiang." This is Song Dunchu, and this is Liu Linsheng, both of whom are my fellow villagers. ”

When Zhang Shizhao hadn't introduced it yet. When Huang Xing and others saw Yang Guobi, they knew that this was a member of the Fuxing Association, and they all got up and saluted when they remembered the rescue in Shanghai that year. Yang Rui also took the opportunity to be polite with them, especially on Song Jiaoren. Sit down. Wu Xiaonan got up and said to prepare tea. Yang Rui didn't care what this little girl was doing, suppressed the slight wave in his heart, and said to Huang Xing and others: "Keqiang, Dunchu, and Lin Sheng are the heroes of the world, and they have always been famous, but they are really fortunate to see them in person." ”

Yang Rui was a high hat as soon as he came up, Huang Xing only felt that he was polite, and Song Jiaoren and Liu Kui only felt that it was nonsense. In fact, the heroes Yang Rui said are Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren. Liu Kuai was incidental, but at this time Song Jiaoren's reputation was not obvious. It's just that they organized a twentieth century Zhina magazine (the predecessor of Minbao), and the others have made no achievements, so the two only think that Yang Rui is bragging.

"Mr. Wen is a member of the Revival Society?" Since it was rumored that the Revival Society supported the constitution, Huang Xing and others had never met anyone from the Revival Society, and when they met Yang Rui this time, they immediately thought of questioning and supporting the constitution.

"I am indeed a member of the Revival Association, Brother Keqiang wants to ask about the constitution, right?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically.

"Exactly, the Revival Society is a revolutionary organization, how, how can it support the constitution?!" Huang Xingben had very high expectations for the Revival Society, and even wanted to make peace with the Revival Society and promote the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty together, but who would have thought that the Revival Society would turn around halfway.

"Hehe, Brother Keqiang, don't get excited. The revolution is one, and the salvation of the country is two. Although the constitution is not full, but it is also full, imagine that there are only a few congressmen, the Han people go in, and the full people come out, isn't this full? ”

What Yang Rui said seemed to be reasonable, but it sounded sophistry to everyone, and Song Jiaoren said next to him: "The kind of row that Mr. Wen said is not really full, but to have a verbal dispute with the Manchu people in the category of the parliament." This row is full of pseudo-rows, and if it is really full of righteous revolution, this is the real row. According to the time travel novel, Song Jiaoren is a parliamentary fan, and he can't figure out what the parliamentary dispute is like now.

"What he said at the beginning of the year is indeed reasonable, but in the final analysis, the Manchurians still have to drive the Manchus out of power, the revolution is to oust them overnight, and the constitution is to gradually oust them from power, just like the United Kingdom, I am afraid that there is not much power left in the upper house now."

"But Britain is the result of hundreds of years, and there have been many wars, which is what it is today."

"This is not a problem, now there is civil unrest everywhere in the country, and there are many rebels who raise flags. At that time, under the turmoil, the Manchus in the parliament will have fewer power, so in the end, the Manchus will only be a nominal monarch, and all the real power will be in the hands of the Han people. The Alliance and the Revival Association operate each other, and this full will only be faster. ”

"You ......" Yang Rui said extremely kindly, but Liu Kuiyi always felt that something was not right, and he said angrily, "Oh, we are bleeding outside, and you will take advantage of the situation to seize the power of the Manchurians, isn't this just sitting back and enjoying the success?!" How can there be such a cheap thing in the world! ”

Yang Rui still smiled and said, "Then there must be someone in it to do the internal response." All the monarchs of the League are hot-blooded men, can they also support the constitution? ”

Although Yang Rui's strategy of combining internal and external is not right, but Hunan mule Huang Xing is not as disgusted as Liu Yuyi, just when he pondered this so-called 'internal and external strategy', Song Jiaoren next to him said: "The Alliance can raise righteousness outside, but whether the Revival Association can give some support, at least the guns and salaries of righteousness, these are what we lack. ”

Seeing that Song Jiaoren was about to put himself in, Yang Rui said with a smile, "The internal and external strategies cannot be spoken, but can only be understood." Once the Manchu Qing discovered that the revival would be a fake constitution, all the hard work was in vain. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to provide the revival of firearms and salaries," when Song Jiaoren asked for firearms and salaries, Huang Xing and Liu Yuyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then they heard Yang Rui say that it was not easy to provide, and they darkened again, "However, help is still needed." At that time, I will report to the general association and come up with a safe solution as soon as possible. Luckily? ”

The Revival Society has always been rich, this is the consistent view of the Alliance, and cooperating with the Revival Society can not only have a strong army. More money to back it up. Yang Rui only knew Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, but when he saw that these people were unswervingly committed to the revolution, and then thought of Tang Qunying and Fang Shengdong who were blown up in Tianjin, he couldn't bear it, so he had the following words. However, he only intends to use his personal money, and it has nothing to do with the Revival Society -- when he sold the rights to a Japanese publishing house two years ago, it seemed that there was a share of the sales. Yang Rui plans to use this money.

Seeing that Yang Rui was willing to help, Huang Xing was all grateful, and the alliance was first established. Sun Zhongshan is penniless, the dog Yangyi has always been picky, and the French do not see rabbits and eagles, and the finances are very tight, if there is the help of the Revival Association, then they can get through the difficulties. Yang Rui stopped them and said, "Although our two sessions have different practices. But they are all about saving the country and serving the people. The revolution is to fill up, and the constitution is also to fill up, and then the Manchus will not be in the court, and the Han people will have the final say in everything in the world, then China can be saved. The alliance will sacrifice many people, I admire it very much, ...... today" Speaking of this, Yang Rui called Chen Guangshou outside the hall in. Again: "The hero died of martyrdom, but the aftermath has to be taken care of." Now I am ashamed to shoot in my pocket, and I will give 600 gold to show my reverence. ”

Chen Guangshou heard that he wanted money, so he hurriedly took out 600 yen in the entrainment and handed it to Yang Rui, Yang Rui handed it over to Huang Xing, Huang Xing didn't want to take it, but Yang Rui just said that the money was for the martyrs to take care of the aftermath, Fang Shengdong, Zeng Xing, Wu Yue was okay, Tang Qunying, Zeng Zhaowen, Zhang Ji's family was not rich, although the League launched a fundraiser among the students, but because these people were killed by bombing the five ministers and preventing the constitution, the donated money was very small, not to mention the rest, I was afraid that even the cost of holding the coffin back to China was not enough, so I had to take it.

Yang Rui saw him take it and said: "If I will always agree, but the Revival Association will use a lot of money, and I am afraid that the aid will not be too much, but it is better than nothing." When the time comes, please Haihan. ”

Yang Rui said politely, Huang Xing and the others thanked him, and then left after a while, as soon as they left, Zhang Shizhao said: "Brother Chengcheng, do you want to support the revolution or the constitution?" ”

"Both the revolution and the constitution are supported."

"Do you believe that the gentry can save the country?" After Zhang Shizhao's passion, he looked at things very calmly, and he was not happy about the constitutional atmosphere, and said, "I don't know, the revival will be strong and strong, why don't you rebel against the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Hehe," Yang Rui laughed, "Brother Xingyan is testing me." The seizure of power is actually a simple thing, it's like a cup of tea, you have to turn it into wine, not when you can make it by changing the bottle, revival will want to make wine, not change the bottle. That is, if it is winemaking, it is natural to prepare the workers for winemaking, the equipment for winemaking, and the recipe for winemaking, all of which require time, which is one; In the current China, whether you are making wine or changing the bottle, it is necessary to look at the face of the foreigner, and the foreigner is unhappy, not only can the wine not be brewed, but the bottle cannot be changed, so ah, we have to find a foreigner when the strength is the weakest, if you don't move, you will move as fast as thunder, as fast as lightning, and kill the Manchu Qing with one blow. ”

"But if you want to have a foothold first, wouldn't it be faster to prepare for this wine?"

"Hehe, there is a lesson from Hong Yang's past, and he doesn't dare to move. If you are not careful, you will not save the country, but chaos. Therefore, we can only take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. ”

Yang Rui said that Zhang Shizhao didn't understand before, but after he arrived in Tokyo, he suddenly understood very well how difficult it was to make a revolution and how difficult it was to govern a country well. ”

"The matter of constitutionalism, as I have just said, is actually full, and when the time comes, the internal and external will be combined, and the country will be prosperous." Yang Rui almost put himself in.

"Hehe, you must be coaxing me." Zhang Shizhao is not quite convinced that this is the strategy of the Revival Society, but this is only a speculation, and there is no evidence.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Yang Rui could only laugh dryly and said, "If you don't believe it, then I can't help it." Fu asked again, "Keqiang, they don't seem to have a good time, right?" ”

Speaking of Huang Xing and the others, Zhang Shizhao shook his head and sighed deeply and said, "It's kind to be a brother who donates money, but I'm afraid it will be bad." ”

Yang Ruiqi said, "How can this be a bad thing? ”

"Hey......" Zhang Shizhao sighed again, and said: "Brother Cheng is not an outsider, so it's okay to talk about it, but after all, it's some shady things, and it's not good to say it." It's just that. (To be continued......)
