On the first day of the first month of the year of Renzi, the Republic of China was founded, Shanghai Tangtou, Zhang Yuanji and Zhu Chongzhen's teahouse were opposite, everything seemed to be the scene of Zhang Yuanji leaving Hawaii, but this time it was Zhu Chongzhen who was leaving.

"Childe really wants to leave?" Zhang Yuanji was a little surprised and a little puzzled, "Although it is the Republic of China now, wouldn't it be better for the talent of the son to stay in China?" ”

"Have you forgotten what I said about the Yiye Academy that day?" Zhu Chongzhen said with a smile, "That academy is now at a critical point, I have been away for nearly a year, and I only went back to see it once before the Forbidden Battle. Now that academy can't leave me. ”

"The academy and the homeland? Which is more important? Zhang Yuanji was in a hurry, and suddenly blurted out.

When Zhu Chongzhen heard Zhang Yuanji say this, he just smiled and said nothing. Picked up the teacup and took a sip to himself.

Seeing Zhu Chongzhen like this, Zhang Yuanji was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he woke up, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Fang is my speech!" ”

"What does Xiao Gong think is the true meaning of this revolution?" Zhu Chongzhen put down the teacup and suddenly asked.

The sentence "......" made Zhang Yuanji a little confused. In the past few months, although he has been organizing people to create a constitution, he has not done it behind closed doors and turned a blind eye to what is going on outside the window. This turmoil in Xinhai really made Zhang Yuanji, who had experienced the world, scratch his head.

You said that the Xinhai Revolution was a national revolution, and it did carry the banner of "driving out the Tartars and restoring China." But in the end, it did not split the country and divide the territory like Zhu Ming, and changed the Han, Manchu, and Mongolian back to Tibet into five countries, and still unified China; You say that the Xinhai Revolution was a democratic revolution, and it is indeed in its name, changing the imperial system to a republic. But you must know that even if the Manchus did not do the same, de jure, the Manchus were already a constitutional monarchy, not to mention that most of the parties involved in this revolution were under the banner of the national revolution.

In the final analysis, this is a hasty and messy revolution, this revolution is not much better than the fist riot in Gengzi year, the same bottom launch, the same turmoil in several provinces, if it is not for the people in the party who still know the advance and retreat, some self-knowledge, I really don't know, this revolution of four dissimilarities, how much suffering will be brought to China.

Therefore, when Zhu Chongzhen asked this sentence, Zhang Yuanji was silent. In this world, this is often the case. If you tell a right and wrong lightly, most of them are people with shallow knowledge. If you know the world well and understand the true meaning of the historian, you often just say it to your mouth, but you feel that it is difficult to express it in a thousand words.

So Zhang Yuanji finally said: "It makes Gongzi laugh, I really don't know how to talk about this revolution." Looking at Europe, Britain, France, and the United States, there is no such thing as a Chinese revolutionary. Perhaps, we have to wait until the coffin of the National History Museum is decided. ”

Listen to what Zhang Yuanji said. Zhu Chongzhen laughed, "A knowledgeable person like Xiao Gong still has a headache, who else in the National History Museum can transcend the current situation and make a coffin conclusion for this revolution in Xinhai year?" ”

"Childe is the first righteous person, I don't know what Childe thinks?" Zhang Yuanji seemed to wake up and asked Zhu Chongzhen.

Zhu Chongzhen smiled lightly and asked rhetorically: "Xiao Gongke still remembers the incident when the First Emperor swept away the Six Kingdoms and unified China?" Right now, just like that moment! ”

"What did you say?" Before Zhu Chongzhen's words fell, Zhang Yuanji was startled, got up in shock, and almost turned over the teacup on the table, "You mean, in the future, China will fall into civil strife?" ”

"What do you think?" Zhu Chongzhen was still calm, but his eyes turned to the empty place, as if he had seen the Chu-Han rebellion in the next few years.

"Why is Childe acting like this?" Zhang Yuanji was even more confused, "If it is really as Gongzi said, there will be civil strife in China for several years, and under the watchful eye of these powers, especially Japan, I am afraid that China will be in danger!" ”

"Okay," Zhu Chongzhen said softly: "Xiao Gong may not know at this time, but in less than three years, Xiao Gong will naturally know so." ”

"It's just the business of Han Liu, I'm afraid it will be more difficult from now on, and Xiaogong will have to work harder in the future. Xiaoru is now in the National History Museum, if Xiao Gong has anything difficult to deal with in the future, you can go to find him. ”

These words seemed to be an explanation of the future, Zhang Yuanji listened ominously, opened his mouth, but still couldn't help but ask. He didn't know that this time the two parted, but they couldn't see each other again until after the start of the European competition.

The two were talking when they heard a whistle on the pier, but they were urging pedestrians to get on the boat. Zhu Chongzhen and Zhang Yuanji said goodbye, cherished each other, and strode towards the cruise ship. Fang Xinru took Zhu Qiu and returned to Hawaii before the Spring Festival, and now there are only Ai Qing and Baifa Dehao who are traveling with Zhu Chongzhen.

Ai Qing and the white-haired Dehao stood on the side of the ship, looking at their homeland by the railing, and their eyes suddenly became a little moist. It's finally time to leave this place where I was born and raised. The sage said, "The way is not good, but you will float on the sea." Now Ai Qing is going to a foreign land and looking for a new way.

Ai Qingzheng was in a trance, and suddenly saw two familiar figures flashing in the distance. Ai Qing hurriedly let go of his gaze, looked carefully, and suddenly saw a vacant place in the distance, with two cloak faces, very familiar. The two of them seemed to have sensed Ai Qing's gaze, and they also raised their heads and looked at Ai Qing. At this time, Ai Qing saw the faces of the two clearly, it was Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen!

I saw the two of them with tears in their eyes, both of them with tears in their eyes, and they looked at Ai Qing fixedly. Ai Qing was even more sad in his heart, raised his hand, waved at the two of them a few times, and two lines of tears could no longer be stopped.

"Xiang Cheng, Pingqing, you must take care!" Ai Qing said softly!

seemed to hear Ai Qing's words. Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen suddenly became short, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Door master, the future of this trip is dangerous, you must cherish it!" ”

As he spoke, he fell to the ground as if carved in stone, and remained motionless until the whistle sounded, and the ship had left the harbor, and was still lying motionless on the ground.

The ship gradually sailed out of the dock and towards the depths of the Pacific Ocean, speeding forward. Looking at the endless sea, Ai Qing suddenly became broad-minded. said to the white-haired Dehao: "Elder De, now I think that what Zhu Chongzhen said is really good, if we blindly cling to the defects and stay in the ancient land of China, I am afraid that we will not be able to find the key to solve the current dilemma." Kung fu is outside the poem, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me! Now that the burden has been lifted, it is precisely necessary to have a good travel. ”

"Brother Wanqing thinks like this, so it is not in vain for my hard work." Zhu Chongzhen suddenly appeared behind Ai Qing and said with a smile.

Seeing him smile like this, Ai Qing suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhu Chongzhen: "Do you know that there is a legend in the Xiangcheng family: the male of the Yuan family has a lifespan of only fifty-eight? ”

Zhu Chongzhen was stunned: "Really? ”

"Seriously!"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid there won't be any more Chuhan rebellion!" Zhu Chongzhen suddenly remembered this, only to feel that he was really a little funny, and sure enough, people are not as good as heaven.

"Oh?" Ai Qing smiled lightly there, his laughter was like a silver bell, but there was a lot of sarcasm hidden in it, "Can't you think that Zhu Chongzhen, who has always had no last resort, will also make a mistake?" ”

Hearing Ai Qing's teasing like this, Zhu Chongzhen shook his head, but he was a little relaxed. Zhu Chongzhen smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "The door master really overestimates Zhu. It's a last resort, but I don't dare to do it. ”

Seeing Zhu Chongzhen say this, Ai Qingcai asked with a straight face: "What do you mean by what you just said?" ”

"I made a covenant with Sun Wen and Xiang Cheng to divide power, and within ten years, Xiang Cheng was in charge of political affairs, Sun Wen was in charge of the economy, and the Restoration Society selected elite people and educated them attentively. But if Xiang Cheng's life span is not more than fifty-eight, how can Sun Wen be like Liu Bang, accumulate huge fame and capital, and replace Yuan Xiangcheng, the overlord of Chu? If Xiang Cheng dies, Sun Wen will not be able to replace him, but he is afraid that China will be troubled from now on! ”

"Do you think that Sun Wen will really be at ease for ten years and take care of the economy?" Ai Qing asked.

"I'm afraid that he won't be attentive," Zhu Chongzhen was suddenly a little discouraged, and he had calculated everything, but he just forgot that the current Chu overlord had already passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, "If Sun Wensheng has an accident and opens a bad example in China, I am afraid that the reputation he accumulated before Xinhai will be dissipated in one day." After Xiang Cheng died, the nobles of the six countries were leaderless, and if they refused to accept it, the world would fall apart! ”

"Isn't that what you want?" Ai Qing seemed to be mocking, like comforting, "You want to use the Chu and Han rebellions to temper the nation, isn't the more chaotic the more you want?" ”

Zhu Chongzhen didn't answer, but walked to the side of the boat, held on to the railing, and looked at the vast sea, not knowing whether the choice of the day was right or wrong.

Yes, as long as people are in the game, how can the world be as expected. This turmoil in the Xinhai year, some people say that it originated with the six gentlemen of Wuxu, and it was their bloodshed that made the Han people know the impossibility of peaceful reform; Some people say that it originated from the imperial cabinet, and it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty who seized power and cut off the idea of the world's scholars. In any case, Wuchang Shouyi, like a spark, boiled the water that was about to boil in China, during which all kinds of chaos, all kinds of water came naturally, all kinds of desires and selfish hopes, all kinds of complicated, and so on. But the only thing that can be said is that the blood of the Han people, after nearly three hundred years of dissolution by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is really not much left. Even if it is Manchurian, it is impossible to escape the same fate.

Perhaps, the troubled times that came soon after can really show the Spring and Autumn Festival righteousness, the brave and fearless in front of the world, so that the people can awaken, and let the blood surging in the hearts of the people really burn happily with China!

In this way, Fang is the brilliant China! In this way, Fang is the best Yanhuang!

Zhu Chongzhen thought of the fierce place, and suddenly slapped the railing and howled, the whistling sound was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the vast sky, nine days away!

After a long whistle, Zhu Chongzhen turned around and said solemnly to Ai Qing:

"The mission of our generation, today, is finally about to begin!"
