"I haven't climbed the Yellow Crane Tower for ten years,

Now look down on the fast eyes.

The dead Qin is the third household of Chu after all,

Cymbals blow upstream! ”

On October 15, in the Shanghai Public Concession, Tian Tong stood on the side of the window on the second floor of the Tongxing Restaurant, and saw the Huangpu River rolling, the steamers coming and going, and the magnificent rivers and mountains.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, his shoulder was grabbed, and a deep voice behind him said, "Okay! Lang Lang Qiankun, blue sky and white day, you are actually in this Tongxing Restaurant, learning the anti-thief Song Jiang, reciting such anti-poems, do you really want to die? ”

Tian Tong didn't panic at all when he heard this, but laughed out loud, didn't look back, and said: "This is the public concession, even if I recite anti-poems for three days and three nights, how can the Manchus tolerate me?" ”

Tian Tong said, turned around, and saw that it was his friend Yuan Xiluo who spoke, Ju Zheng and Song Jiaoren were also on the side, and the four of them looked at each other, and they all laughed.

A pot of turbid wine, a few dishes of side dishes, and the four of them talked about the current affairs.

Song Jiaoren didn't have time to sit down, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the situation in Wuchang?" In the past few days, I have not seen any news come back, and the people who came from Hanyang said that the revolutionary party occupied Wuchang, and we didn't have any news about you, and my heart was also anxious these days! ”

Tian Tong looked at the three of them, and saw that even Yuan Xiluo, who was almost half a hundred, was very anxious on his face, and couldn't help but smile, "Everyone, this rumor is true." To tell you the truth, not only is Wuchang City in the hands of our Han people, but when I came to Shanghai, the three towns of Wuhan have been captured by our Han army! ”

Ju Zheng slapped his thigh, "It's a pity!" Knowing this, I really shouldn't have listened to Hu Jingwu's words and stayed in Shanghai! Dull Chu, why don't you buy tickets now, and go to Wuchang City too! ”

Song Jiaoren nodded, "It's to pass quickly, the righteousness is just beginning, the establishment of the system is imminent, this matter is a thousand years old, we can't be sloppy, we can't stay out of Shanghai!" ”

Yuan Xiluo was older and more stable after all, and asked, "Ziqin, do you look at that Wuchang, can you keep it?" ”

"Can't hold it!" Tian Tong smiled, without waiting for the three of them to speak, and said, "Wuhan is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and the doors are all over the place, how can you keep it?" Therefore, the Wuchang Han army has made a plan to go north to Henan and seize Wusheng Pass, where our Han army will hold on! ”

Yuan Xiluo was taken aback, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, Wusheng Pass is the key to resisting the Northern Army!" It seems that Wuchang's success in righteousness is not a fluke! Indeed, there are extraordinary people in it! ”

Ju Zheng and Song Jiaoren were a little confused there, and they didn't know what the importance of this Wusheng Pass was, which provoked Yuan Xiluo's sigh. The two looked at each other, and Song Jiaoren asked, "Brother Su Min, what is the importance of this Wusheng Pass?" ”

"Wusheng Pass and Guangping Jingguan and Dawu Jiuli Pass have always been called the three passes of Yiyang. These three passes have been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Wu led the Wu army to fight and win the pass, and then destroyed the Chu State, 'Chu lost the three passes, and then lost the country', this is what it said. That Wusheng Pass, Qingfen Yuchu, Choke Sanjiang, steep and extraordinary, is called the first pass in Central and South! In the past, Yue Fei's northern expedition to the Central Plains was based on this pass. If the Wuchang People's Army can really win the Wusheng Pass, our revolution will be successful in the 19th century! ”

Hearing Yuan Xiluo's words, Song Jiaoren was overjoyed and surprised, of course he was happy about the success of the revolution, but what surprised him was that he had also met with everyone in the land of the two lakes in the past to discuss the revolution, but he didn't remember that there was such a person in Wuchang City, "Juesheng, you see who has such a vision in Wuchang City?" ”

Ju Zheng shook his head, "Jiang Yiwu is just a righteous eye, how can he have such a vision, Sun Wu and others, like you and me, are either reckless or scholars, they are not familiar with military affairs." I thought that the land of the two lakes could have such a vision, and I was afraid that only the dead Zhang Xiangshuai would be killed. ”

Ju Zheng said smoothly, and when he talked about Zhang Zhidong at the end of the sentence, he was also taken aback, looked at the three of them, smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of it himself.

Yuan Xiluo went straight in and asked, "Ziqin, who is in charge of Wuchang?" Could it really be that Li Yuanhong? ”

Tian Tong laughed, did not answer, but took out a stack of papers from his arms, unfolded it quickly, handed it to Yuan Xiluo, and said: "Brother Su Min is one of us who is a master of articles, and look at this telegram and the text, how is it drafted?" ”

It turned out that after the recovery of Wuchang in the past few days, Zhu Chongzhen thought that he was not in a hurry to call the whole country, and it must be known that the telegraph offices in various places at this moment were all owned by the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it was not until the three towns of Wuhan were pacified that Zhu Chongzhen used the strategy of repairing the plank road to secretly cross Chencang, and spread the news of the loss of Wuchang under the pretense of Ruizheng's tone. Electricity and documents to the whole country were also sent out. But even so, the news was still blocked by the Qing court, and ordinary people, revolutionaries, did not receive any news.

Tian Tong's visit to Shanghai this time was entrusted by Zhu Chongzhen to contact the comrades of various associations in Shanghai and take the opportunity to raise affairs in various places in response to the first uprising in Wuhan. After Tian Tong came to Shanghai, he hurriedly invited several athletes from the alliance to come to discuss.

Yuan Xiluo took the stack of papers, leaned in front of him, and looked at it carefully, only to see that the message was extremely simple, only sixteen words, but the iron hook and silver strokes, and between the vertical and horizontal handwriting, a killing aura rolled in:

"Er Qing Dynasty, the number of qi is exhausted! The imperial system must die, and the Republic of China should be established! ”

After reading the sixteen characters, Yuan Xiluo only felt that his blood was rushing, and his heart was pounding violently. He took a long breath, pressed his thoughts, looked at the text again, halfway through the reading, but he couldn't read anymore, put the paper on the table, closed his eyes, and two lines of hot tears rolled down silently.

What a good piece of writing! The fierceness is not inferior to Luo Bingwang's "Seeking Wu's Tree"!

Ju Zheng and Song Jiaoren saw Yuan Xiluo's appearance, so they reached out and took the telegram and the text, the two looked at it carefully, and when they saw the wonders, Ju Zheng couldn't help but shout loudly: "Okay! Song Jiaoren also patted the case and said: "There is really a ghost in the wrist!" ”

After the three of them looked at each other, Ju Zheng and Song Jiaoren glanced at each other, and finally looked at Tian Tong and asked, "Ziqin, isn't this your handiwork?" ”

Tian Tong smiled and said, "Although the text has been polished by my hand, it is not me who drafted it. ”

After all, Yuan Xiluo has seen a lot, "This text, could it be that it is also from the hand of the person in charge of Wuchang?" ”

Tian Tong's expression was distant, as if he was reminiscing about the past: "I never thought that I could meet such a character in Wuchang this time." Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what happened in Hawaii back then? ”

Yuan Xiluo nodded: "Of course, this matter is the proud pen of my contemporary Han people, and it was also rumored to be in the United States back then, how could I not know!" ”

Tian Tong lowered his voice and said, "The person in charge of Wuchang this time is the leader of the Shanghongmen in Hawaii!" ”

Hearing Tian Tong's words, Yuan Xiluo was very puzzled: "That Chen Ping, now that he is the prime minister in Hawaii, he has every opportunity, how can he come to Wuchang and do such a thing?" How can you take time out to do such things? ”

"Su Min, like me, also thinks that the matter of Hawaii is the work of Chen Ping." Tian Tong laughed, turned to look around carefully, and saw that there were not many diners on the second floor, only a few men and women sitting on a table far away, but they were still close to Yuan Xiluo's ear, and whispered: "That person is a descendant of Zhu Ming, who calls himself Zhu Chongzhen." Not only is the matter of Hawaii his mastermind, but the matter of Wuchang is also planned by him, and these words in your hand are also from his handwriting! ”

So Tian Tong told the three of them what happened in Wuchang City, although it was only two days and two nights, but it was a long back and forth, the mountains and rivers were poor, and the willows and flowers were bright, and the three of them were stunned.

After hearing this, Ju Zheng sighed, "Blunt Chu, no wonder you and I have repeatedly failed to make a career in Wuchang, Changsha for several years, this kind of means of driving people to fight in the city is far from what you and my generation can imagine!" ”

Song Jiaoren was silent, obviously thinking about the same question.

After listening to this, Yuan Xiluo looked at Tian Tong in a daze, and asked as if he had come back to his soul for a long time: "Are you really sure that person is a descendant of Zhu Ming?" ”

Tian Tong nodded solemnly and said, "I'm sure of it!" ”

"Then is he here to establish the Republic of China, or to restore his dynasty with the surname Zhu?" Yuan Xiluo looked serious.

Tian Tong sighed and said: "Su Min, I won't hide it from you, I met him in person in Wuchang, I hope that he is here to restore the Zhu Ming Dynasty!" ”

Yuan Xiluo's brows were twisted together, he knew Tian Tong and his people, and he couldn't tolerate the emperor's argument. I didn't expect to say such a thing today.

Although Song Jiaoren heard something else, he didn't break it, but clapped his hands and said: "The situation in Wuchang is so good, now we have to think carefully about how to respond to the actions of various places in response to Wuchang!" ”

"Not bad!" Ju Zheng was a little excited, "But the first task is to spread the news of the success of Wuchang's uprising all over the country and inspire party members everywhere!" ”

"That's what I'm here for!" Tian Tong said with a smile.

The four of them were about to discuss the details, when suddenly there was a noise downstairs, Tian Tong's face changed, and he was sitting near the window, so he hurriedly looked over, only to see several newsboys on the street, shouting loudly while running: "Good news, good news, the business hall will publish new books, and 100 translations will end today!" ”

Hearing the voice of the newsboy, Ju Zheng's face was even more happy, he retracted his head, and said to the three of them urgently: "The matter of righteousness, we will talk about it later, I have been waiting for this set of books for half a year, no matter what, I have to have a sneak peek......" He still explained here, but Song Jiaoren just arched his hand, and casually said, "Go and go back", hurriedly got up and went down the stairs, Ju Zheng saw Tian Tong saw this, and before he finished speaking, he hurriedly followed. Although Yuan Xiluo was still calm, he also stared straight at the staircase, Tian Tong saw this, and hurriedly took out a few silver coins from his sleeve and put them on the table, and the two of them immediately got up and hurriedly followed.

When the two arrived at the staircase, they happened to meet a beautiful girl, and the two dodged sideways, flashed the girl, and hurried away.

The girl went upstairs, went straight to the men and women in the corner, and walked to the table, "Two brothers and sisters of the Wang family, the Commercial Press has published a new book, and a hundred books have been completed today!" ”

Wang Wenqing took the case: "Okay! We also heard it clear just now that Gongzi has already succeeded in Wuchang! Today, 100 books have been completed, and it is time for me to recover and settle on the southeast! ”
