"Right Ren, you are a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi, and your ancestral home is Jingyang. Guangxu was born in Dongguan River Lane, Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province in the fourth year. He studied at Sanyuan Hongdao Academy, Jingyang Weijing Academy and Xi'an Guanzhong Academy, and was taught by Liu Guyu, a famous residence in Guanxi, and Wu Mi and Zhang Jiluan were called "Guanxue" Yu Mai. In the winter of the 28th year of Guangxu, he participated in the annual examination, and made up for the first place in the dining class, and was praised as the "Northwest Genius" by Ye Erkai, the governor of Shaanxi. Am I right? Turning on the computer, he called up Yu Youren's file, Wu Chenxuan's words surprised Yu Youren, he didn't expect that the lord of the clan in Shandong actually knew him so well about him, a scholar who was only famous in his hometown.

"Lord Wu, how do you have my resume?" Yu Youren was young and curious, so he asked very directly.

"Not only do I know everything about your previous experience, but I also know that the imperial court ordered you to be appointed to the right the year before last. You got a mention from the famous hotel in the township in advance, escaped from Kaifeng to Shanghai, assumed the pseudonym Liu Xueyu, and entered the Aurora College founded by Ma Xiangbo to study. Last year, you also hired Ma Xiangbo, Ye Zhongyu, Shao Lizi and others to jointly set up Fudan Public School (now Fudan University), which officially opened during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Moreover, while you were studying in Shanghai, you secretly joined Jof's revolutionary party and are now the founder of the Shaanxi branch. Yes and no? Wu Chenxuan replied to him with a smile, letting Yu Youren leave an omniscient impression on him is beneficial to future cooperation, at least Yu Youren will not doubt the strength of his partner.

Later generations of Yu Youren edited the radical "Minli Daily" after this eastward crossing, and the founding leader of the People's Republic of China when he was a student liked to read this newspaper very much, and he knew Yu Youren's name at that time and admired it very much.

Even during the Chongqing negotiations after the Anti-Japanese War, the founding leader and Yu Youren had a conversation about poetry together. On August 28, 1945, the leader went to Chongqing to negotiate, and on the 30th, he and Zhou Gong went to the city from the cave forest garden to visit Yu Youren, who was already a veteran of the Kuomintang at that time. In the evening of the same day, General Zhang Zhizhong held a banquet for the leaders in Guiyuan, and invited Yu Youren, Sun Ke, Zou Lu and others to attend. After many years, the leader finally met Yu Youren again.

A few days later, Yu Youren set up a luncheon to entertain the leader, Zhou Gong and Wang Ruofei, and invited Zhang Zhizhong, Zhang Qun, Shao Lizi, Ding Weifen, Ye Chuling and others to attend as accompaniment. Because the founding leader and Yu Youren were like-minded and liked poetry, at the banquet, the two talked about poetry.

During the conversation, Yu Youren said to the leader's "Qinyuan Spring?? Snow" highly praised, and the ending sentence of the word, "Count the romantic characters, but also look at the present dynasty", is particularly appreciated, and is considered to be a good sentence to motivate the backwards.

The leader said: "How can it be worthy of the divine pen of Mr. 'The king asked me when I will recover the mountains and rivers'." "It turned out that when Yu Youren visited the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, he had given "Yue Tune?? Tianjingsha": "Singing on Xinglong Mountain, once saw the invincible Jin Ge, the edict burned incense and read, the king asked me: when will the mountains and rivers be recovered." ”

After that, the two clapped their hands and laughed, and everyone was happy. The leader and Yu Youren are both familiar with poetry, and it is not surprising that they can improvise the masterpieces of the ancients, but they can both recite each other's poems, and the knowledge of the two is really impressive. At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leader had specifically instructed Yu Youren to participate in the founding of the People's Republic of China and the subsequent preparations for the CPPCC, but it was a pity that Yu Youren, as a veteran of the party's state, had already gone to Taiwan and never returned to the mainland.

At this time, Yu Youren, who was three years younger than Wu Chenxuan, was still a revolutionary youth, and of course he could not predict his future status in China's political arena. Wu Chenxuan showed the power of his intelligence agency a little, which made Yu Youren breathtaking, compared with the revolutionary party that has been defeated repeatedly, the hole cards in the hand of this Lord Wu are far better than the revolutionary party.

"Since you have a good handful of cards in your hand, why don't you start earlier." Yu Youren couldn't see Wu Chenxuan's seemingly cautious and conservative strategy, and he lobbied Wu Chenxuan regardless of the taboo of talking about it. "The Lord raised troops in Lianghuai, Shandong, went north to take Beijing and Tianjin, and expelled the Tartars outside the pass. Mr. Qiao and the revolutionary elites revolted at the same time in Liangguang and Lianghu to stabilize Jiangnan, so that only Liangjiang might be able to support it for a while, and it would definitely collapse under the attack of your army and the revolutionary army. So the southeast of the Central Plains in hand, the Chinese population and property have accounted for seventy percent, a little rest, you can send troops to the west to conquer the Northern Expedition, in one fell swoop to determine the world, the restoration of my Han family rivers and mountains, the name of history, why not be happy? ”

"If the Qing court sees that the fall is imminent, do you think they will ask for help from Japan and Russia in the form of ripping soil contributions, or even if they are in a hurry, even if they are Shi Jingjiao, I don't know, right?" Wu Chenxuan said with a smile, it seems that bookish revolutionaries are really rare. "Even if the Qing court has the backbone, it won't be sold? So will Japan, which has now risen, miss this excellent opportunity to annex Tohoku? Will Russia miss the opportunity to tear off a large piece of fat from Xinjiang and Mongolia to make up for its losses in last year's defeat? Britain has coveted Tibet for a long time, France is also optimistic about our land of Bagui, and Germany and Italy will probably have to make up for it in Fujian and Guangdong. When the time comes, it will be another situation of the Eight-Nation Alliance, I don't know if you think we should resist to the death, or learn from the Qing court to sell? The survival of the country? ”

"How so? How can this be the case with these great powers of the East and the West? We also want to overthrow the imperial system and implement a republic, and it is these advanced countries that we will learn from. Yu Youren was very puzzled, the reason why the teacher beat the student seemed unreasonable in his opinion.

"How could it not, there are only interests between countries, but there is no morality. Not to mention anything else, Japan started with 200 million taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty, and if some people even took the initiative to defect to the foreign powers because of the division of the revolutionary country, how could Japan not further annex the Northeast in the face of the benefits sent to the door. ”

"If it is to overthrow the monarchy and achieve a republic. It's okay to lose outside the border for a while..."

"Smack." With a crisp sound, a teacup turned into stubble all over the ground. "Revolution, so noble! Noble enough to sacrifice money, life, and even the integrity of the country. Wu Chenxuan's calm attitude just now instantly turned cloudy and cloudy.

"I'm a businessman, a soldier, and a Chinese. No matter what you say of me, I will never give up my principles, go against my conscience, and still less betray my country. Every inch of the foundation created by the ancestors of the Han people must not be lost in the hands of our descendants, let alone given away. Wu Chenxuan's face was resolute and his tone was firm: "I don't care if you are the Qing court, the revolutionary party, or any other country or organization, those who dare to betray the territory of China are the enemies of our armed wing new army." ”

"Commander, please allow your subordinates to study at the military academy and join our new army, and your subordinates are willing to die to protect the integrity of the country." Huang Xinpei has seen the cynical businessman Wu Chenxuan, the treacherous and cunning bureaucrat Wu Chenxuan, and even the sinister and cunning head Wu Chenxuan, but he didn't know that the boss he was serving had such a strong iron backbone.

"This, this." Yu Youren, who has been in contact with Mr. Qiao, understands that the revolutionary party in Japan has always taken the restoration of the eighteen provinces of Guannai as its own responsibility, and as for the land called Manchuria by the Japanese, it has never been regarded as a part of China by the revolutionary party, and it seems that the restoration of the eighteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty is the ultimate goal of the revolution, and the restoration of the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties is just a conjecture in the novels of gods and monsters. "But do we have this kind of power, even the Qing Dynasty government itself can't protect the country, and at the beginning of the revolution, where can we take care of the wild land outside the Guan."

"You don't have the strength to defend the country, but you are very energetic to rebel and seize the throne?" Huang Xinpei couldn't help but interject that in the past two years or so, these revolutionary parties have assassinated the head seat several times, and later called on young people in the newspaper to rise up and kill the Han thieves, and asked everyone to assassinate the head seat and Yuan Shikai and other Han Chen. That's it, but the revolutionary party has acted rashly again and again, squandered the blood and enthusiasm of the young people in an orderly manner, and Huang Xinpei, who has worked by Wu Chenxuan's side for a long time and has an unusual vision, no longer believes the propaganda words of the so-called revolutionary leaders who are far away in Japan sipping sake and playing with prostitutes. On the contrary, in Huang Xinpei's eyes, their aimless use of the passion and patriotism of hot-blooded young people to hit stones with eggs is simply a great crime against revolutionary youth, and it is a crime that should be sent to the gallows.

"Brother Xinpei, why do you say this. You must know that Mr. Qiao, they worked hard for the revolution, and they were born and died, this can't be faked. Even Mr. Kedi, Mr. Zhaoming, and Mr. Yutang have escaped several times under the pursuit of the minions of the Qing court, and there are many revolutionaries in Japan who resolutely returned to China to instigate an uprising, and they went forward one after another, but no one flinched. In the face of the bloody sacrifice of these revolutionary predecessors, how can you speak out and tarnish their noble character, Brother Xinpei? ”

"Brother right, although Xin Pei said that he is a little partial and comprehensive, it is not unreasonable." Wu Chenxuan could see that this right person had been poisoned quite deeply, and a few words would not help at all. "If you are an ordinary revolutionary who is not afraid of sacrifice, strictly abides by discipline, and fights bravely to kill the enemy, you are a qualified revolutionary. But Mr. Chov and Mr. Kedi are not ordinary revolutionary aspirants, they are the leaders of the revolutionary party, and if they cannot lead the revolution on the right path and make the blood of revolutionaries worthwhile, then this revolutionary leader is not qualified. Not to mention whether their speculative revolutionary uprising could really touch the root of the Qing court's rule, even if they succeeded in overthrowing the Qing court by chance, what about after that? If the Japanese, Russian, British, and French powers carve up China, will they have the confidence and ability to defend their homeland? Isn't it the same as Cixi, measuring China's material resources and forming the favor of other countries? ”

Wu Chenxuan's words made Yu Youren unable to refute, he knew very well the style of the revolutionary party, and said that it was good to hear that it was repeated defeats and battles, but in fact, there was no long-term plan at all, from the Guangzhou Uprising ten years ago, to the later Huizhou Sanzhoutian Uprising, Chaozhou Huanggang Uprising, Jiangsu Taizhou Uprising to the planned organization of Huizhou Qinuhu Uprising, Guangxi Qinzhou Fangcheng Uprising, in fact, they were all temporary and hasty organizations, neither planned nor planned, often spun up and extinguished, even if they occupied the city, they would lose their fighters in a daze, and they were calmly dispatched by the Qing court. Encircled and strangled. Too much blood has proven that the revolutionary party simply cannot guarantee the success of an uprising. Not to mention how to defend this huge empire if he can really seize power in the future.

At this moment, there was a commotion on board. The guards knocked on the door and entered the "report headquarters, and the outside had already entered the waters of Japan, and a detachment of cruisers of the Japanese Combined Fleet had just passed by, and was passing through the flank of our ship in formation. ”

Huang Xinpei opened the curtains, thick smoke billowed from the sea not far away, and five 10,000-ton Japanese cruisers passed by the British ship one after another. Wu Chenxuan pointed to these warships.

"The firepower of one of these Japanese warships is enough to top the entire artillery strength of the Beiyang New Army, and when the combined fleet is close to Beijing and Tianjin, I wonder if your Mr. Qiao can be sure to win the battle?" If defeated, will you be able to pay the compensation for land cession? ”

Wu Chenxuan said to Yu Youren, who was already sitting on the sofa, "Now you know why I won't act with you, before my strength can't protect the territorial integrity of the Chinese nation, I'd rather accumulate strength and let the Qing court take the front." If I were to revolt one day, my army would certainly be able to resist the aggression of these powers. If I am not sure, I will never gamble with the fate of the country and the nation"
