Section 129 Persuade Heqing to talk about cooperation

"A university is an institution for the pure study of knowledge, and it cannot be regarded as a place for the cultivation of qualifications, nor as a place for the sale of knowledge. Scholars should have an interest in research, especially the personality of a scholar. "Wu Chenxuan's guy in the promotion of the concept of professors to govern the school, the post of the university hall sacrificial wine to the fictitious, although he himself also sacrificial wine, but never interfere in the school affairs, for the introduction of several professors and lecturers are tolerant and trusting, grant the department full authority to teach. However, the board of trustees is not a decoration, and the professors are decided on the basis of the academic performance of students and teaching assistants, as well as democratic research. Through the bidding of the subject price, encouraging the professors' enthusiasm for scientific research, the atmosphere of heavy rewards and light punishments has made Shandong University Hall has become a new cultural center in the north, compared with the bureaucratic official school of the Beiyang University Hall run by Lao Yuan, Shandong University Hall is more suitable for young professors who have received Western cultural education, not to mention that the scholars of the Beiyang University Hall are also attracted by the rich rewards of the Shandong University Hall to jump ship, but the silver in Lao Yuan's hand is spent on the knife handle, and the quality of the Beiyang University Hall is really powerless.

"This is too incisive" Cai Yuanpei's eyes behind his glasses have begun to shine, regardless of the darkness outside, the little daughter is drowsy on the recliner, and grabs Wu Chenxuan to continue his educational discussion.

"Today's discussion with Mr. is really beneficial, Heqing really doesn't understand, since Mr. is from overseas, and he is so open-minded, how can he work hard for this court?"

Wu Chenxuan saw that there were no outsiders around, and the teachers had all gone downstairs to rest, and his own guards were also on duty downstairs five zhang away. "I can't hide it, Mr. Cai, I started to run factories, open shopping malls, and even donate officials to run group exercises just to earn money and protect myself, and I don't have the noble sentiment of Brother Heqing for the country and the people. At that time, it was also a coincidence to save the driver, no matter how unpopular this Empress Dowager Cixi was, but after all, she was the representative of this imperial court, and there were thousands of people in charge of the family, if she was caught by foreign soldiers, then the Great Qing Kingdom would certainly be finished, but the great powers were afraid that they might not be able to swallow Kyushu China in one bite. However, maybe the governors and ambitious Tusi officials and gentry in various places will raise their own troops, and Shenzhou must be a melee, if it is in ancient times, the world is in turmoil, and there are virtuous people living in it. But now that the great powers are united in their opposition to China, if we split again, I am afraid that we will only become the object of the great powers' partition. Today in Tianzhu is the tomorrow of China, and I would like to ask you revolutionaries if you have the confidence and strength to turn the tide and confront the careerists everywhere and the powers that take them as their representatives. So I won't regret my move to save the Empress Dowager Cixi at that time, even if she is a bastard and added three levels, but with her mediocre court, my Chinese land will not become a hunting ground for warlords and foreign powers. Wu Chenxuan has never been honest with others about the real reason for saving the driver, and this conversation with Cai Yuanpei has not been seen in the annals of history, so it has become one of the most controversial topics in history.

"Maybe what the gentleman is worried about is true, but our revolutionary heart will not die, and our will to overthrow the foreign rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not waver." Cai Yuanpei seemed to be worried that Wu Chenxuan was a lobbyist for the imperial court. "Mr. killed my comrades in the capital, and it can be regarded as a reason, after all, each was its own master at that time, so this blood debt had to be put on hold for the time being."

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask, did this Comrade Zhang assassinate me on your orders?" Wu Chenxuan asked in a calm tone, but Cai Yuanpei could also understand the murderous aura implied in this, and he even felt that he would be shot and killed on the spot by this polite young man if he was not good.

Cai Yuanpei's character is still very tenacious, and he didn't flinch at all, "Although I didn't order this matter, it was in line with the purpose of the association that he sneaked into the capital and assassinated the senior members of the court, so it seems to be no different from me personally ordering the assassination of Mr. After speaking, Cai Yuanpei sat up straight, as if waiting for Wu Chenxuan to pull out a gun and shoot himself in anger.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chenxuan smiled bitterly and beckoned He Dazhuang to bring in the information, "Mr. Cai, please take a look, do you know this guy?" ”

"I see, is this man a student? Why take pictures with your eyes closed. When Cai Yuanpei saw the guy in this photo, he paused carefully and seemed to be a little impressed, but looking at this bloodless headshot, he always felt that something was wrong.

"No, he is a young master, the first case of the Sino-foreign dispute that happened in Shanghai a few years ago, I don't know if Mr. Cai has any impression of this."

"Yes, it was the lawsuit between Liu Hongshen, the comprador of the Hua-Russia Daosheng Bank, and the Rong brothers, didn't it later transfer to Hualong County, and it was over."

"The case is over, but because the case is my main fight, although the Liu family has escaped a catastrophe, this hatred has not yet been resolved, this is the second young master of the Liu family of Liu Hongshen on the party concerned. This time, my trip to Beijing was discovered by this guy, and Zhang Peishao was bewitched by this guy, thinking that assassinating me was to eliminate harm for the people, of course, maybe it really is. Wu Chenxuan laughed self-deprecatingly, "After the assassination failed, this guy absconded from the capital, but my people found clues from the pistol and found the sales record through the gun number, which was the self-defense weapon prepared by Liu Hongshen and Liu Dacomprador for his baby son." The colleagues of the Chamber of Commerce were very angry, and gave various gangs a reward for chasing and killing, this guy was discovered by the people of the Green Gang before he entered the beach, and he chopped off his head and sent it to the resident village of the Chamber of Commerce to take a photo, so he couldn't open his eyes anymore, and it can be regarded as avenging Comrade Zhang Peishao's murder with a knife. ”

"I see?" Cai Yuanpei didn't expect that there would be such a twist and turn in the plot, and now he was finally relieved of Wu Chenxuan's visit, it seems that this person is not looking for revenge. "This person declared a personal vendetta and gave Comrade Zhang's life in vain, and this catastrophe is also unpleasant. Mr. Heqing just admired the concept of running a school. I also believe that with his foresight, he will not be willing to be a minion of the Qing court, and if he intends to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Manchus and return the good fortune of our Han people, he might as well join forces with my Restoration Society, at least it can avoid cannibalism among our Han people. ”

"Mr. Heqing's kindness is appreciated in my heart. It's just that there is too much involved, not a few words can explain it, although the leaders of your association are of high character and have a good reputation, but the organization of your association does not seem to be very rigorous, if the news leaks, the first thing the Qing court wants to eradicate is definitely a soldier like me, Hanchen, and your association will also be affected. It is better to restrain your subordinate congregations not to take hostile actions against our personnel and industries in the Shandong region and the business area of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce. As for me, I am confident that I can also make the personnel of your association unimpeded in Shandong, even in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, I can also provide some possible convenience and funding to help your association develop and grow, and when the time is ripe, it is more appropriate to discuss the cooperation between the two parties, I don't know what Mr. Heqing thinks? ”

Although Cai Yuanpei is not a professional revolutionary, the establishment of Xinxue and the establishment of the Liberation Association can be regarded as a long-standing experience of the world, and he understands the key here after a little thought. In fact, he also understood that his Liberation Society was just a loose organization of hundreds of enthusiastic young people, and it was not a force at all. According to the information sent back by Yang Shihai, Wu Chenxuan knows himself and the backbone of the Restoration Society and the organization of the entire Restoration Society. In this case, it is really difficult for some strong people to talk about the alliance of the two parties.

"By the way, we plan to recruit some young people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to study and work in Shandong, and we also hope that you can recommend the personnel of your association to participate in the work of various enterprises of the Chamber of Commerce in Shandong, after all, if these young people sacrifice in vain in the assassination, it is tantamount to using gold and jade to overcome stubborn stones, which is really irresponsible for the future of the country. On the one hand, the Shandong Chamber of Commerce can provide them with the opportunity to go deep into social practice, so that young people can get all-round exercise in the melting pot of society, and on the other hand, we can also provide work-study opportunities, so that they can go to Shandong University Hall to audit, and if they have excellent grades, they can also stay in school to teach. It will not delay their studies, but it will also help them reduce the burden on their families, and maybe even provide financial support for their parents. Wu Chenxuan put a youth talent training plan in front of Cai Yuanpei, looking at this plan, Cai Yuanpei, who later established the Huafa Study Abroad Association to organize domestic students to study in France for work-study, is still very much in favor of the unity of knowledge and action. However, with all due respect, because of the special organization of our Wuyi New Army, we do not want any political forces to intervene, so the members of your association cannot enter the Shandong army, but if you want to train military cadres, on the premise of ensuring that you cannot carry out political party activities in the school, Zaolin Military Academy can allow your association to send 20 people to audit every year, I think this condition can be carefully considered and accepted, right? ”

"Mr. Chenxuan, thank you for your open and honest conversation. As you said, the Liberation Society still has many shortcomings, but each and every one of us has taken it as our duty to overthrow the rule of the Manchus, and we have shed our blood and died without regret. I personally agree with organizing young people to work and study in Shandong, but if it involves the major matters of my reunion, I need to hold a meeting with other leaders to discuss, and I ask Mr. Chenxuan to wait a few days. ”

"Okay, in fact, Yang Shihai of your association has already contacted all the members who have developed in the Wuyi New Army. According to the military regulations of the Wuyi New Army, they either choose to withdraw from the union or choose to retire, except for Yang Shihai, who was reappointed as the director of the standard ordnance factory, the other four Guihui comrades who chose to retire, I have arranged for them to retire from active duty according to their different reasons, and will return to Shanghai one after another in the near future, these comrades have undergone military training and have certain organizational skills, and I hope that Guihui will not use them as assassins, if they join other new armies, these people may be able to bring hundreds or even thousands of well-trained troops to the revolution. As for the eight comrades who withdrew from the association, this is their statement of withdrawal, and I hope that Mr. Cai will approve it. ”

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and he should not be forced." Cai Yuanpei can also see it, in fact, it is not uncommon for the Restoration Association to declare membership and withdraw from the association, and seeing a provincial feudal station make a special trip to submit a withdrawal statement for a few retired members who stayed in the army to serve, it made Cai Yuanpei feel the sincerity of these young people. "That being the case, I will propose to my colleagues at the meeting, just say that the Wuyi New Army has discovered the members of our association in the army, not only did not do any harm, but kept it secret on their behalf, and sent them out of the country as a gift, even if it is morally speaking, I will not be able to appreciate it, and naturally I will restrain the members to no longer develop members on the territory of the Wuyi New Army and your Lord Wu. As for the work-study program and the sending of personnel to study military affairs, I should also explain the situation to the leaders at the meeting and strive to approve it. ”

"Please, Mr. Heqing." Wu Chenxuan bowed to Cai Yuanpei very formally and thanked him, and the lack of strength and weakness of the Shandong army depends on the harvest of this southward trip.
