Chapter 38 Persuasion

Beginning at the end of November 19o7, the days suddenly began to be dull for Yang Rui. Everyone is busy, there are reading, bleeding, producing, and ......advocating, but he is idle, listening to Chen Guangshou every morning after reading the transactional briefing and scientific and technological information briefing, and then spend a morning to deal with it, Yang Rui's rest of the time is to bask in the sun and drink tea. At this time, he began to think about the details of the revolution in its entirety, and tried to make the whole plan more rigorous.

It was only after his repeated reflection that he still felt that the revolution was extremely variable, and the most crucial factor in this was the great powers, and the most crucial factor among the great powers was Britain. Yang Rui doesn't have any good cards for the British, and even if he has good cards, he doesn't dare to take them out. Now the cooperation with the British Concession is only to maintain normal law and order in the Concession; And the cooperation with Colonel Wingate, who is called MI5, is estimated to be limited to the intelligence department.

Do you want to become a church, believe in Jesus God, and then take the line of the British bigwigs on the side of the church? In desperation, Yang Rui thought of this method. A country with a four-tier structure, white, blue, green, and red, and those bourgeois aristocrats are religious and extremely conservative. In fact, this is not only the case for foreigners, but also for China...... The last time Congress fought over the crime of adultery, the white voters who supported the guilty were either the powerful or the old but powerful gentry. Now that the Conservative Party is in power in Britain, there is still a future for religious beliefs.

Yang Rui smiled as he thought about his kneeling in front of the cross. He was sure that he would receive the support of the American Baptists and the British Baptists as soon as he joined the Church, but he really had no love for God. If you don't buy the soul, you can only buy the benefits, but for the British, China has all the benefits that China should take, even if it promises him the Yellow River Valley, it will have to wait for the First World War to be fulfilled, and Qingdao is a fuse of the Sino-Japanese war, if it is given to the British. What did the Japanese rob during that war? Grab the Northeast?

Yang Rui was about to call Chen Guangshou and ask him how Xie Jintai was doing in the UK, but he came in and said, "Sir, Mr. Qiu Jin is here." ”

Qiu Jin was going to come over a long time ago, and last time he had an excuse to go to the Northeast, but this time he couldn't refuse. However, after Yang Rui explained this matter, he forgot about it. It wasn't until now that people came to think of it, "Where is she?" Living room? ”

"Yes, it's in the living room. Miss Cheng is also below. Chen Guangshou said, he didn't understand why Yang Rui dismissed Cheng Ying as soon as he came back, and then gave all his time to himself as before, but since Yang Rui decided. Then he had to take things over and do it.

Qiu Jin wanted to see Yang Rui for a lot of things, the earlier time was to help the Alliance, and this time I wanted to say more things. She hadn't seen Yang Rui before, nor had she seen Yang Rui's photos, and only read a lot of his articles in the journal. At first, she, like everyone else, thought that Yang Jingcheng had never been enlightened at all. The rhetoric is general, there is no literary style, but the article on the front page of the headline will be read no matter what, after careful reading, I still feel that the literature and science are smooth, and there is no Confucian sage-style empty vernacular, but also like Western mathematics as rigorous argumentation, the conclusions in it are all deduced by numbers, such as the analysis of China's finance and taxation, the analysis of the depreciation of the copper dollar, the analysis of peasant income, and the analysis of the outflow of silver under the foreign trade deficit. It's all such a paradigm. Such a result made Qiu Jin imagine Yang Rui as a taciturn old pedant wearing thick glasses.

Because of this, I know the relationship between Yang Rui and Cheng Ying in the past few days, and I still feel sorry for Cheng Ying in my heart. But after seeing people, she was very surprised, Yang Rui in front of her was neither delicate nor heroic, and her eyes were not beautiful, and they were even slightly dark. But with straight eyebrows, a straight nose, thick lips, wide jaws, and a tall figure, she only felt that she was standing in front of her a wall. She was actually surprised by this wall, the literati body was thin. Martial arts are vulgar, and this wall is elegant at the same time, but there is also a kind of calmness and toughness. She suddenly turned her head sideways and smiled at Cheng Ying, then looked at Yang Rui and said, "Mr. Cheng." ”

Qiu Jin looked at Yang Rui in surprise, but Yang Rui looked at Qiu Jin with a feeling that he was still the same. He only felt that Qiu Jin was an unsheathed Yue Nu sword, upright, clean, and sharp. The sword is a good sword, but if you are not careful, you will cut your hand, and when he returned the salute to Qiu Jin, he couldn't help but warn himself.

"Mr. Qiu, don't come unharmed." Yang Rui looked at Qiu Jin, who was sitting down generously, and didn't know how to say this.

"Mr. Cheng has seen me before?" Qiu Jin wears Chinese-style clothes, which is for the sake of not attracting attention, but such clothes are not as neat as Western-style, which makes her very unaccustomed. "Sir, let's call me Xuanqing."

"Yes. I saw it when I was in Tokyo the year before last, and Brother Xuanqing's speech was very moving. Yang Rui recalled, at that time, he looked at Qiu Jin and now he looked at Qiu Jin was completely different, he used to want to enter in person, but now he is respectful and far away.

Yang Rui's previous year only made Qiu Jin think of Chen Tianhua, she looked a little sad, and only said: "Xingtai Jun's death is too unworthy, if he can live to this day, he will definitely rejoice in the current revolution." ”

There is Chen Tianhua's sharp head in the textbook of the Farmers' Training Center of the Fuxing Society, reading those words will only make Yang Rui think of the burly young man with a wide face and a long shawl, but he is busy with affairs in the back, but he slowly forgot about this person, and now that Qiu Jin mentioned it, he also sighed: "Xingtaijun is indeed a pity." ”

"Yes, sir. If Xingtaijun was still around, he would not only shout for the revolution, but also hope that all revolutionaries would unite and work together to overthrow the Manchus. It is said that among the students studying in Japan, Qiu Jin was the first to advocate speech, and when Song Jiaoren first arrived in Tokyo, he participated in the speech meeting organized by Qiu Jin, and it seems that Song Jiaoren learned a lot of his oratory skills from Qiu Jin.

Yang Rui saw that Qiu Jin only cleverly pulled the topic from Chen Tianhua to unity, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Brother Xuanqing is here to persuade me?" ”

"Don't dare to persuade. I just hope that the League and this association can be like brothers and sisters, and unite to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the old things can be restored as soon as possible. Although there are contradictions between the two sessions in the newspapers, Qiu Jin is willing to go to Tokyo to resolve the grievances of the two sessions for the unity of the two sessions. Qiu Jin's words were not as Yang Rui expected, but he was still talking about friendly cooperation with the Alliance.

In fact, the relationship between the two associations returned to normal at the time of the Hangzhou Uprising last year, but after Yang Rui led the purge, the remarks of the two sessions in the newspapers began to differ, and then they often debated, and during this period of time, the rebuttal of the two sessions began to escalate. Just like the previous debates between the People's Daily and the Xinmin Cong Bao, the Zhonghua Times also listed a 12-point program for the debate with the League a few days ago. To inform our readers:

1. Revival will be the main nationalism; The League will be Western-European.

2. Unity of the Renaissance Church; The League will be free.

3. The Revival Society is based on the constitution of civil rights, and the constitution is the guideline; The League also advocates the constitution of civil rights, but the law of marching and the law of the covenant.

Fourth, the Revival Association will take the situation of China and advocate centralization of power first, then prosperity and strength; The League will follow the example of the United States and advocate democracy before prosperity.

Fifth, the revival will be democratic if it is rich and strong; The League will think that democracy is rich and strong.

6. The Revival Society advocates revolution and education as a good policy for national rejuvenation; The League advocated revolution and assassination, believing it to be a shortcut to overthrow the Manchus.

7. The Revival Society takes revolution as the first step in revival. The road is long, and its repair is long; The League thought that the revolution was full, and that the revolution had been completed after the constitutional republic.

8. The revival will be called the pre-Qin, and the way to govern the country is to take the sons and hundreds of schools of thought; The alliance will be called Taixi, and the Western-style republic will be the road to a strong country.

9. The revival will be cautious in changing the original national system in China for 2,000 years; The League thought that China had been in China for 2,000 years** and that it was urgent to establish a Western-style national system.

10. The Revival Society believes that the revolution should be self-reliant. No help from outsiders is required, and no reward is given; The Confederacy is bent on entangled on the border, trying to intervene with the great powers, and does not know what price to pay.

11. The revival will act with complete certainty and will not act rashly; The Alliance's actions are righteous, and when there is a glimmer of hope, it moves. 12. The Revival Society believes that the victory of the revolution begins when it is fought from the cities to the countryside; The League would think that it would be fought from the countryside to the city. It was the beginning of the victory of the revolution.

After the publication of this debate program in the China Times, it had a great impact, and it was the first time that the Revival Society publicly explained its program in detail after the 16-character program, which not only affected the students, but also affected many gentry. And Qiu Jin also saw that the two sessions were on the same page, so when they met, they talked about this topic at the beginning instead of anything else.

"The two associations of rejuvenation and alliance have different concepts. The purpose is not compatible, and I do not see any possibility or need for unity. Although the two sessions are now arguing in the newspapers, this is not bad, at least those readers know that there are many kinds of revolutions. Besides, the two associations have not moved their knives or guns now. As for the case in Tokyo, it is a matter of opinion between the wise and the wise. Yang Rui took a deep breath and said this paragraph. He didn't really want to talk about it.

"What incident in Tokyo did you seem to have a bad feeling for the Alliance?" seemed to feel Yang Rui's mood, Qiu Jin's words suddenly softened, and he only thought that after Yang Rui said the previous things, he would reduce some of his bad feelings, and in Yang Rui's story. She hoped to find the crux of Yang Rui's hostility to the Alliance.

"Let the past be in the past. The case in Tokyo has also been closed, and there is nothing to say. Yang Rui brushed the topic aside, and then asked: "How is the women's newspaper doing now, and are there any difficulties?" ”

"There's nothing more difficult." Qiu Jin replied, but still changed the topic back to just now, "Sir, only a few members of the League have opinions about the shooting in Tokyo, and most comrades still think that it was just a misunderstanding. If the two associations lose peace because of this matter, then the Manchus will laugh at it. ”

"What does Xuanqing think the two sessions should be?" Yang Rui simply threw the topic to her, wanting to see what she thought.

"The two associations should stop the dispute and unite with the outside world, especially now that the uprising of the two associations has failed, and there should be no war of words." Qiu Jin said it in a dignified manner, Yang Rui wanted to speak and stopped, waiting for her next step. "Then, if the two associations start an uprising again, they should work together and work closely together in order to recover China as soon as possible."

When Qiu Jin said this, Yang Rui smiled and said, "Then may I ask, what about after the recovery?" ”

"After the recovery, they will organize a government together, gather the efforts of 40,000 people, and rejuvenate China, and if there is any dispute between the two associations, it can also be resolved by the Congress. Westerners are good at negotiations, while Chinese people often fight, Qiu Jin thinks that the beginning of negotiations can be the beginning of our two sessions. "Qiu Jin has learned a lot after going to Japan, and she still understands the temperament of the Chinese people.

"Xuanqing, how can you guarantee that everyone will sit down and talk honestly?" Yang Rui asked: "Looking at the history of all countries in the world, it has always been cruel to kill the same race than to kill the other, especially the United States, which is known as a republican model. The War of the North and the South, not only killed soldiers, but also civilians, and when Sherman burned Atlanta, it was much more cruel to the British than the Revolutionary War. The logic of the Chinese people is to become a king and defeat a villain. I really don't know how I can get around this level. ”

There was a strong killing intent between Yang Rui's words, and although Qiu Jin felt it, he still thought that he had been on the battlefield for a long time. "Mr. You, Mr. Nakayama understands the righteousness, and I believe that things will not come to that point."

"But what if someone doesn't understand the righteousness, or if the two of them understand the righteousness, and outsiders see the opportunity to instigate? It is irresponsible to a country that cannot be built on unsecured promises. The League has historically advocated assassination. I believe that once the two associations overthrow the Manchus, that will be the beginning of the assassination. Yang Rui still had a lot of words to say in his heart, and the assassination of himself and Zhang Taiyan was very strange. For this reason, he also deliberately asked people to check whether there was such a person as Chen Qimei in the Alliance, but he replied that there was no such person.

"Sir, we can't choke on food. Even if it's a misunderstanding. This is also the price of a republic. If we don't advocate negotiations, then in the end the people of the two associations will kill each other. The earlier walls turned into hard stone, which only made Qiu Jin feel that it was difficult to change Yang Ruizhi's thoughts.

"There is a disagreement between the Renaissance Society and the Alliance, and there is no possibility of cooperation at all. But non-cooperation does not mean hostility, let's do our own, why do we have to get together? More people does not mean more strength, only everyone has the same ambition. to work together. Failure to do so will only make things worse. Xuanqing, aren't you advocating freedom of marriage in the women's newspaper, why are you pulling a matchmaker again now? If you put two organizations with completely different philosophies together, anything will happen. If it were an assassination, it would be thankful, and a slaughter would be as normal as the sun coming out of the west. Revolution is not so just, nor is it so beautiful, revolution is murder. Kill those who have different ideas, kill all these people, and the revolution will be successful. Yang Rui had a smile in his mouth, and he only regarded killing as simple as drinking water, and only made the room a little colder.

"What is the point of a revolution if it is only a revolution that kills people?" Qiu Jin asked.

"It makes a lot of sense!" I don't know if it's out of the truth, or if it's just disgusting. Yang Rui only felt that he was becoming more and more impatient with those who imagined the revolution to be incomparably beautiful. "Revolution means that the Party is the same and the different are different. It was the Manchus who ruled China, because they were aliens, so they wanted revolution; Later, when the Manchus came out of power, the various revolutionary organizations disagreed. It is highly likely that this will be the case. This may be the fate of today's China, the reincarnation of history, which is difficult to stop. ”

However, Mr. Nakayama's original intention in organizing the alliance was out of fear that after the revolution, he would kill each other like the rebels at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, so he invited various organizations to join the alliance. Sir, in any case, we should not be the executioners of the massacre of the rebels. Qiu Jin said loudly, listening to Yang Rui's words, she became more and more worried about the conflict between the two sessions after the revolution.

"Xuanqing, we are a generation that connects the past and the next, with the imperial power in front and the civil republic in the back. It's because the people who come out of the new school are still half-new and half-old, not to mention those students in private schools, illiterate people, what will they think, do they know how to negotiate and understand the republic? Killing people is a last resort, but in order to make the people rich and the country strong, then they have to kill people, and no country's strength is not built on the accumulation of bones, which are either their own or other people's.

Our current China is a weak country, a backward one, she is in difficulty at home and abroad, the people are not able to make a living, do not use thunderbolt means to stabilize the country, and quickly seek strength and wealth, then it will not take many years for the country to die. Yang Rui's voice began to get louder, if it wasn't for Qiu Jin, he would have beaten her and left.

"Maybe Qiu Jin thought it was too simple. It's just that the revolutionaries want to kill each other after throwing their heads and spilling their blood, which only makes people feel frightened. Qiu Jin didn't know whether to be persuaded or to retreat, so she sighed.

Yang Rui smiled: "I used to think that the revolution could kill people, but now it seems that I feel very naΓ―ve and ridiculous." Although the Revival Society and the Alliance cannot cooperate, they will not kill each other, but if they cooperate together, there is a possibility of killing each other, and even so, it is better to maintain the status quo. ”

"Why is it not to cooperate to kill each other?" Qiu Jin asked.

"If you cooperate, you have me, I have you, how will we split up in the future? Even if there is no separation, who will have the final say on whether China will be a centralist or a republic? The two associations will be exhibited alone, so that there will be no ties, even if there is a conflict, it will only be a battle of words, and then the revolution will succeed. There are many things that you can sit down and talk about at the beginning of the founding of the country. It really doesn't work, then it can be one country, two systems, they govern their places according to democracy, and we govern our places according to centralized power......" Yang Rui saw that Qiu Jin seemed to have backed down, and only said it euphemistically.

"But isn't this about dividing China into two countries?" Yang Rui said softly, but it scared Qiu Jin.

"No, it's just autonomy. Who does not recognize themselves as part of China. Then crusade against whom. One country, two systems, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, is not that the federal system of the United States? As long as people don't think about how to expand their territory, there will be no cannibalism. Yang Rui's words began to be true and false again, according to the current situation. He didn't believe that the League would be able to occupy any place, and even if the Manchu elites revolted and defected to the League, he would have a way to deal with it.

After talking for a long time, Qiu Jin was a little relieved when she heard this, at least Yang Rui was not intolerant, and then she asked about the aid to the Alliance, Yang Rui smiled at this: "Why do we want to help the Alliance." And not that the alliance will come to our aid? ”

Qiu Jin didn't know what the funding situation was in the meeting, she only knew that the alliance would always be short of money, and Sun Wen asked her to borrow 1,000 yuan last year. At that time, she sold the ornament not enough, and asked for help everywhere, so she scraped together enough 1,000 yuan to hand over to Sun Wen. She only said: "Now the League is extremely difficult to fund, and the two associations are revolutionary parties, so we shouldn't care who helps whom." ”

"For the revolutionaries themselves, it is not necessary to delve into the question of who helps whom, but the comrades below will not even have enough to eat. Shouldn't the prime minister resign and step down if there is no funding for activities? Everyone is one acre and three points of land, and if the harvest is not good, then raise fewer people, but if it is not good, then pawn the land and find another business; If only by aiding the revolution. If such a prime minister is the brain of the country, do the people of China want to beg for food? "The Military Intelligence Bureau has information on the revolutionary army after the Liangguang Uprising, because of the lack of food, many wounded soldiers died of wounds. Yang Rui has seen a lot. It was because he ridiculed Sun Wen again in his words.

"Regardless of whether the prime minister should step down or not, the livelihood of the righteous people still has to find a way to maintain." Fang Junying's money was not enough, and Cheng Ying couldn't think of any way, so Qiu Jin could only come and ask Yang Rui.

"I am accountable only to the members of the Renaissance Society." Yang Rui shook his head and said, "Yan Zhou and Lin Xi are both short of bullets and salaries, I really can't think of a reason why my own people don't save others if they don't save them." The League was established in O5, and it has been two years now, and in the past two years, it has raised seven uprisings, but none of them have been successful. It makes people feel like gamblers, rolling the dice again and again, losing again and again. Brother Xuanqing, will you go and help a gambler? I won't anyway! There is nothing more shameless in the world than a gambler who has lost money, putting the blame on those who do not lend him double the money. According to the Alliance's practice, the more money you have, the more people will die, and in the end you will still fail and get nothing. When Yang Rui said that the alliance would be a gambler, Cheng Ying's face on the side suddenly turned red, she used to only think about saving people, but she didn't think about why such a revolutionary righteous man would fall into such a situation, is it really like what Yang Rui said, is it the incompetence of the organizers?

Yang Rui didn't pay attention to her changes, and still said to Qiu Jin: "Xuanqing, I'm glad that you are alive." But I hope that in the future, you will be able to make a revolution not only with your blood, but also with your brains. The world is not black and white, sometimes good people may not do good things, and bad things may not have good results. The whole world is a complex system, implicated in each other, not directly after solving the matter in front of you, then you can sit back and relax, the solution of one problem will always lead to the emergence of another problem. Therefore, the revolution is not simply to oust the Manchus, the revolution is very complicated, very long, very difficult, and even more cruel, and I hope that you can understand the joints in it, and then become a real revolutionary, instead of making decisions based on what you see and feel. Yang Rui said this, looked at Qiu Jin eagerly and said, "If Xuanqing agrees, I hope you can go to the UK to study." ”

"Go... United Kingdom...... Study? Qiu Jin was very surprised by Yang Rui's words, she is now a women's newspaper, but she doesn't want Yang Rui to have other arrangements for her.

"Yes. Go to England and study politics, which will make you understand what a real revolution is. Yang Rui said.

"But...... What about the women's newspaper? Qiu Jin still didn't fully reflect, and when she saw that Yang Rui really wanted her to go abroad, she suddenly remembered the newspaper in her hand.

"The number of people who read the newspaper is only a few hundred or thousand, but after you finish your studies, the impact is tens of thousands of people, why choose less and abandon more?" Yang Rui asked with a smile. I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it because of Yin Ruizhi's affairs, so she said again: "Sacrifice is for the revolution, isn't it for the revolution to live?" In my opinion, when it comes to saving the country, those who are alive are more tired than those who have died. Therefore, you should not be bent on sacrifice, but think about how to do more for the people of a new country in the future. And Yin Weijun, don't worry about her, she can go with you if she wants. ”

"But I don't know English......" Seeing that Yang Rui had planned everything, Qiu Jin couldn't cry or laugh, because she hadn't thought of it beforehand.

"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm still afraid of English?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically, he stood up, and the meeting was over, but when he went out, he turned to her and said, "Hurry up, you will come back in the year of Renzi." ”
