"This son, my lord is invited."

Yan Luo followed him to the wing of a restaurant, and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, with sunglasses and a top hat covering his face: "Your Excellency?" ”

"Friend, it's better not to say my name, after all, I'm still on the government's wanted list." The man, who looked to be in his 30s, hugged his fists and said, "I heard Mr. Huang Feihong sing about men being self-reliant, and I heard my friends sing about the Heavenly Demon Red Lotus, and I am deeply inspired, so I invite you to see it." ”

After the two sat down, the man asked, "Are you a revolutionary?" ”

"I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, don't worry about anything, I'm a revolutionary, and the uprising in Guangzhou failed in 5 years, so I had to flee to Japan."

Yanluo: "Are you from the Xingzhong Society?" ”

"Exactly, I have a revolutionary fearlessness in listening to your songs, and if I want to join the Xingzhong Club, I am willing to introduce it on my behalf."

Seeing the man's burning eyes staring at him, full of anticipation, Yan Luo refused: "No need, don't hide it from this friend, I have already joined the Heavenly Demon Red Lotus Sect." ”

"Heavenly Demon Red Lotus Sect? Sounds a bit like the remnants of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion. ”

Yan Luo smiled: "Isn't Xingzhong a rebel? ”

"Rebellion is not the same as rebellion!"

The man said proudly: "We are all a group of people with ambitions and ideals, because of the common goal of uniting together, for the overthrow of the corrupt Qing court, can it be the same as the peasant uprising and the rebellion of the believers?" We are revolutionaries! ”

"You are revolutionary, peasants rebel, isn't it revolutionary?"

The man shook his head and looked a little helpless: "Friend, I'm afraid you've almost forgotten about Chinese culture when you study abroad." ”

"Revolution, change the mandate of heaven, Zhou Yi has a cloud of heaven and earth and the revolution of the four times, Tang Wu revolution, according to the sky and people. Only when our revolutionary party overthrows the Manchu court and establishes a country of its own can we be called obedient to the heavens, and even if the peasant revolution overthrows the original dynasty, it will only replace one dynasty for another, and the Chinese nation will never be able to strengthen itself. ”

"And the revolution must have its organization, its program, its goals."

He dipped his hands in some liquor and wrote a line on the table:

"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, establish the Republic of China, and equalize land rights."

"This is the revolutionary program that I have recently summed up in Japan when I think about China's future path, to drive out the Tartars and the foreigners who oppress us, to restore the glory of the Chinese nation, to establish a people's country, and finally to average land rights, to approve the national land price, the existing land price to the original owner, and the land price that has increased due to social progress after the revolution will be owned by the state and shared by the people, so that the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and the family will be satisfied."

Yanluo: "Your idea is good, but ......"

"China's 2,000-year-old feudal society, every dynasty to the end, is land annexation, the rich have no land, the poor have no place to stand, your program, even if a new country is established, also recognize those local tyrants and inferior gentry with all kinds of means to occupy the land? How much land do they occupy? What if, after the revolution, land prices not only did not rise, but decreased?

"If the land question is not completely solved and the feudal landlord class is not eliminated, then there will always be warlords who will jump out one after another and act as agents of comprador landlords and imperialism."

"Eliminate the landlord class?" The man took a breath of cold air, "Are you going to kill a big family?" What's the difference with riots! ”

Yan Luo said with a smile: "China is already deeply poisoned, otherwise it will not be possible to completely change a new world, otherwise even if the revolution succeeds, the land is landlord, the ideology is still feudal, and you have become a ruling group, but you have become a ruling group, but from the emperor monopolizing power to a group of people holding power, then it is inevitable that you will degenerate and become an interest group that seeks the interests of our elite." ”

"You may think that you are the conscience of the nation, but in fact you are also the lord who oppresses the people."

Seeing that the man's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, he also wrote a line of words on the table: "This is the program of the Heavenly Demon Red Lotus Sect. ”

"Power belongs to the people, equality, freedom, democracy?"

The man said with an ugly face: "There is nothing about freedom and democracy, this is exactly what we Xingzhonghui revolutionaries are pursuing, but equality, power belongs to the people?" Monkey business! Where can people be equal? Can the three teachings and the nine streams be the same as the readers? Can a clay leg be the same as a revolutionary? I am not discriminating against civilians, but people are inherently different, some people have high consciousness, some people have low consciousness, some people are advanced, and some people are backward......"

Yanluo interjected: "Some people are noble, and some people are lowly? ”

The man shook his head: "You are deliberately confusing the truth, you know what I'm talking about, there are people with three, six, nine, etc., some people can govern the country, and some people can only farm, and China is not like foreign countries, the people are too ignorant, how many people can't even read big characters, the power belongs to the people, and the whole country is ruled by the people?" How chaotic the country will be! ”

He sighed in disappointment: "I didn't expect you, as a civilized person who came back from abroad, to have such a ridiculous idea, but unfortunately, the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence." ”

"It's true that we're not all the way."

Yan Luo stood up: "Then I wish you all a victory in the future revolution." ”

"Wait a minute."

The man put aside his gloomy mood and said with a smile: "Even if the ideas are different, we are all working hard to overthrow this court, the Heavenly Demon Red Lotus I just heard you sing, and when a new country is established in the future, this song can be used as the national anthem, how about it?" ”

"The national anthem? The content of this song is different from the country you want to build. ”

"Yes, but you can modify the lyrics, I have already thought about it, the blue sky and the sun will appear, illuminating the darkness of the world, this artistic conception is very good."

"Blue sky and white sun?"

Yan Luo spread his hands: "Can the blue sky and the white sun illuminate the darkness, to be honest, I don't believe it, I'm sorry, this song can't be given to you, because this is the song of the Heavenly Demon Red Lotus Sect." ”

"Forget it, there will be a date later." The man said with a sigh of interest.

"If you need a song, I've got one here."

His index finger and middle finger curled up on the table to beat the beat, and at the same time sang in his mouth: "Down with the powers, down with the powers, with the warlords out of the warlords, the national revolution is successful, the national revolution is successful, sing and sing together." ”

"What do you think of this song?"

The man was surprised: "Such a simple song? ”

"The simpler it is, the easier it will spread, the more catchy it is, and how good will this song be for your revolution when it appears, even women and children will sing it?"

"That's right!" The man's eyes lit up, "But the lyrics are also inappropriate, the first thing we want to defeat is the imperial court, the second is imperialism, and we have not yet started the national revolution." ”

"Well, I accepted this song, I'm really grateful, just this song, I returned from Japan incognito, it's worth the trip."

The song sung by Yan Luo, called "National Revolutionary Song", is the school song of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1927 and the national anthem of the future Republic of China.

This song is very popular in the original historical trajectory in the future, when Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan held the Central Plains War, they also changed the lyrics to "Down with Lao Jiang", and at another time it was changed to "Agrarian Revolution Song": "Down with the local tyrants, down with the local tyrants, divide the fields and divide the fields, we have to be the masters, we have to be the masters, we are really happy." ”

The man was naturally very satisfied with such a song, and even felt that this song was more intimate than the previous Heavenly Demon Red Lotus!
