Xiao Qingying found the gown of a Qing Dynasty official and asked everyone to wait at the door of the thatched house. After a while, Yang Hongjun hurriedly ran here, it seemed that he was patronizing playing mahjong to make money, and it was not easy to hold it to this point, so he just waited to take off his pants and feel comfortable. Xiao Qingying gave Gong Ren a look and said, "Quickly put it on him, it's weirdly hot in the house, don't come out and flash." Gongren had no choice but to comply, put on a coat for Yang Hongjun and said: "Yang Longtou, the wind is rushing here, don't let the wind flash." Yang Hongjun was very happy: "You kid, when did you learn to be so well-behaved." ”

As soon as Gong Ren left, Xiao Qingying rushed up with an arrow step, the action was really fast as lightning, shaped like a raccoon, and suddenly rode to Yang Hongjun's neck, and hit Yang Hongjun's head fiercely while riding, and muttered in his mouth: "Hit you Zhang Zhidong, hit you Zhang Zhidong." ”

Yang Hongjun was stunned all of a sudden, dizzy, and urinated in his pants.

The crowd laughed.

Yang Hongjun broke free of Xiao Qingying and asked angrily, "Why did you hit me?" Xiao Qingying stared at her little eyes and said, "Aren't you Zhang Zhidong?" Yang Hongjun scolded angrily: "How can I be Zhang Zhidong? Xiao Qingying said: "You are not Zhang Zhidong, how can you wear Zhang Zhidong's clothes." Yang Hongjun glared at Gong Ren and said, "It turns out that you are fighting together to trick me!" As he spoke, he stretched out his fist to Gong Ren.

Gong Ren hurriedly explained: "That's the case, we are playing a game of catching Qing soldiers, unfortunately, you have been tricked." Everyone said yes! ”

The crowd said in unison, "Yes." ”

At this moment, Yang Hongjun had no choice, and scolded: "I have been playing eagles all my life, but I didn't expect to call the eagle an eye." "I couldn't play mahjong, so I had to go back and change my pants.

After a while, Li Yunbiao also came out, and it seemed that he was not holding it lightly. Gong Ren took this gown and put it on Li Yunbiao's body again. Li Yunbiao was quite puzzled and said, "What are you doing with this gown for me?" ”

Gong Ren said to him: "It's hot in the house, it's cold here, don't flash it." At this time, Tang Qingying didn't care about this, and suddenly rode on Li Yunbiao's neck and scolded: "You Liu Kunyi, you should beat the dog!" Then he beat him on the head.

Li Yunbiao was also stunned, so he simply put a gold into his pants and pulled it in his pants all of a sudden.

Li Yunbiao asked everyone incomprehensibly: "What are you doing here?" How did I offend the faucets? ”

Everyone said in unison: "We are playing a game of fighting Qing soldiers, why did you get hit." ”

Li Yunbiao was unlucky, but because Tang Qingying was Tang Caichang's son, he couldn't do anything to him, so he could only endure this tone.

Gu Tianhu and Zhang Yaoqing were also teased by Xiao Qingying respectively, which made a group of people laughing and temporarily alleviating the depression in some people's hearts.

It's not a matter just waiting for Tang Caichang's decision like this, Gong Ren was in a hurry, he couldn't wait, so he had to quickly rush to the secret organ in Guangzhou to meet Sun Wen. Sun Wen saw Gongren and said, "Brother, you came just in time, please prepare quickly and go to Hong Kong with me." ”

"I don't know what we are going to do in Hong Kong? Mr. Sun, now that Wuhan is in a hurry, every day hundreds of thousands of our brothers are just sitting on the crater, maybe when, the Qing government will exterminate us all, it is really like a year, every moment is really more precious than gold, please Mr. Sun make up your mind early? ”

Sun Wen said firmly: "This matter in Hong Kong is similar to that in Wuhan, and at present Li Hongzhang is serving as the governor of Guangzhou, and someone from Hong Kong has come to mediate and intends to promote the independence of the revolutionary party, the royalist party, and Li Hongzhang. As long as this thing is done, the whole south will be ours, and the affairs of Wuhan will be much easier! ”

Gongren was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "It would be great if we could promote the independence of the two Guangzhous, and Wuhan would learn from the two Guangzhous, and great things would be accomplished." ”

Sun Wen also brought Yang Quyun this time, Japanese aspirants Miyazaki Inzo, and Uchida Ryohei. Yang Quyun, because of the Yiwei uprising, Gong Ren was reluctant to talk to him more, and seeing him was as disgusting as seeing a dead fly. As for the Japanese, Gongren is not familiar with it, and the language is not understood, as long as it is a little empty, Gongren is around Sun Wen. Sun Wen also talked about a key figure who contributed to the independence of the two Guangxi this time, that is, Liu Xuexun.

Liu Xuexun, the word Wenshu, Xiangshan County, Xiagong Town, Guhe Village, born in 1855, is a descendant of famous generals, 12-year-old Liu Xuexun admired Han Chen Fan's "big husband should sweep the world, how can he sweep a room" famous saying, since the book "do not sweep a room" banner hung in the hall to express his ambition. In 1879, Liu Xuexun was promoted, and in 1886, Liu Xuexun went to Beijing and passed the "156th Jinshi of the Bingxu Branch", but he was never assigned any position.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a gambling game called "闱surname" in Guangdong, which was printed on the lottery ticket before the imperial examination, and the price was sold, and the buyer filled in the surname of the person on the list. After the list is issued, the first, second and third prizes are won in order according to how many guesses, and this kind of "official supervision and private office" lottery is becoming more and more intense. The Liu family was originally rich in wealth and did not want to live in the officialdom step by step, so they soon collected capital to undertake the gambling of "surnamed Yan", which was all the rage in Guangdong at that time.

Liu Xuexun undertook the second surname of Yan in 1890~1896. Since I was born as a Jinshi, my appeal is greater and my profits are very considerable. In 1899, the Japanese visited Liu Xuexun in Shanghai and learned that he had a fortune of 7 million, accounting for about one-tenth of the national revenue at that time.

Zhang Shusheng, the governor of Liangguang, once asked the imperial court to strictly prohibit it: "The gambling style of the surname of Guangdong is the hottest, and its money power is enough to determine the success or failure of the scholars, as well as the advance and retreat of the officials. In the past, the ban was applied for, but the traitors moved the casino to Macau, and gambling became more and more popular. That is to say, Guangzhou is not allowed to gamble, then they moved the casino to Macau, which is the prototype of today's Macau casino.

Money can make ghosts grind, and Liu Xuexun is also quite personal. In the old days, Cantonese people called foreigners "Westerners", just like today's northerners call them "foreigners". Liu Xuexun traveled to Shanghai, and repeatedly saw Westerners weakly bullying their compatriots, and a sign was hung at the gate of the French Concession Park in Shanghai: "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter!" This made Liu Xuexun very angry and vowed to give a warning to Westerners. After living in Shanghai for a long time, Liu Xuexun found that not all Westerners in Shanghai were rich, and there were some unemployed and poor people.

So he sent people around to try to collect unemployed foreigners, all between the ages of 20 and 50. After a while, four unemployed British nationals around 40 years old were found. Liu Xue asked, "How long have you been unemployed?" Was there a previous salary? The Englishman replied: "We have been unemployed for eight months and almost a year, and our monthly salary used to be only one or twenty dollars." Liu Xuexun said: "I want to hire you back to Guangzhou, the monthly salary is 500 yuan per month, the occupation is to carry a sedan chair, the four of you carry me one, and the daily working hours are only 6 hours at most." If you are willing, sign a contract with me and agree on a date for us to go to Guangzhou together. ”

The British replied: "500 yuan a month, of course I would." But we've never lifted a sedan chair, what should we do? Liu Xuexun said: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to work, I will find a sedan chair master to teach you after you arrive in Guangzhou, and you can learn it in a few days." But you have to sign a contract with me for one year, and if I dismiss you early, I will pay you a year's salary; If you quit your job, you will have to pay me double the amount of your salary. The Westerner agreed, bowed and retreated. Liu Xuexun does not understand English, please have an interpreter next to you during the conversation, and ask the interpreter to translate the contract into English.

Liu Xuexun arrived in Guangzhou on the same ship with the Westerners and placed them in Liu Yuan's house in Xiguan. A few days later, Liu asked his sedan chair driver to teach Westerners to carry sedan chairs. So, the four Westerners practiced hard in Liu Yuan every day, the Westerners were strong, but their arm strength was insufficient, but after some exercise, the sedan chair was much lighter on the shoulders of the Westerners, and the Cantonese slogans were not salty and light, and they were able to go out on the street!

On the first day, take the sedan chair carried by the westerners out of the street, from Liu Yuan to Twelve Fu, out of Tongxing Street (i.e. Datong South Road), along the sand base all the way to Xihaokou. Along the way, the Westerners learned the appearance of the sedan chair driver, shouting and cheering as they walked. It is an unprecedented thing for Westerners to carry a sedan chair, and the citizens of Guangzhou have never seen it, so all men and women of all ages stop to watch. Before long, the news spread all over Xiguan, and when it returned, there were more onlookers in advance. Since then, Liu Xuexun has been going back and forth every day, and after three or four days, the whole city knows that people have come from the city, Henan and other places, and have been waiting to watch Liu's sedan chair in various places.

This matter was soon discovered by the Westerners in Guangzhou, who had always regarded the Chinese as an uncivilized people, and today this situation made them very angry, and the Westerners living in Shamian in various countries immediately discussed how to stop this behavior of Westerners acting as palanquins. When the Westerners learned that the four palanquin men were all British, they immediately reported to the British consul in Guangzhou.

The British consul immediately stood at the Shamian West Bridge and waited for Liu to pass by. Soon, I saw four people carrying Liu Xuexun, shouting along the way, the voice was high and long, compared to the Chinese sedan chair man. When the British consul saw this, he was furious and thought: "If this continues, the face of the British Empire will be lost to these four people!" ”

The next day, the British consul went to the Liangguang Governor's Mansion to meet with the officials, and suggested that a man named Liu Xuexun hired four British men to carry sedan chairs, which was an insult to the British Empire and should be stopped. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang at that time, said to the British consul: "Your countryman is serving as a sedan chair man in Guangzhou, and the governor does not know about it. But I don't know if Liu forced your people to do things, or did they do it willingly? This matter must be investigated clearly, and if it is forced, I will not only stop it, but also bring Liu to justice. However, if the people of your country are willing to do the work of carrying a sedan chair and are willing to carry the Chinese to make ends meet, then this is the right of friendship and freedom of our two peoples, and it cannot be legally restricted. I will discuss this matter with you after I investigate it clearly. ”

In fact, Zhang Zhidong had long heard about the Westerners carrying the sedan chair, and the reason why he pretended to be deaf and dumb was to leave room for future diplomatic consultations.

Zhang Zhidong immediately sent someone to find Liu Xuexun to come to the house. Liu sat in the original sedan chair to go, this is the first time that the Westerners carried Liu Xuexun into the city, and the Westerners still shouted constantly, attracting the attention of many pedestrians and the shops on both sides closed to watch. Later, Zhang Zhidong told the British consul to come to the office to investigate the British sedan chair, and Liu also told his original intention and employment situation, and said: "Your Excellency, please ask the interpreter to ask the Westerner in person." ”

Zhang Zhidong agreed, and entered the hall with the interpreter and the four sedan chair men, and the Westerners saw Liu Xuexun present and immediately saluted him. Liu Xuexun reprimanded on the spot: "This is the highest official in Guangdong, and I asked you about hiring you as a sedan chair driver, and I should first pay him the most respectful salute." The Westerner agreed, that is, bowed to Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong said: "Today, the British consul came to me and asked me to tell Mr. Liu that you should immediately stop your practice, saying that this matter is an insult to his identity. Did Gentleman Liu force you to carry the sedan chair, or did you do it voluntarily? The Westerner replied: "No, we are all willing, and there is no coercion from others." When we were unemployed in Shanghai for a long time, the British government did not think about us, we were just for a living, how could we humiliate the consul? Besides, I have a one-year appointment, so I can't quit now. Zhang Zhidong asked Liu Xuexun to ask the Sixi people to come to the supervision office tomorrow in order to reply to the British consul.

Back in Liu Yuan, Liu Xue asked the Westerners: "How do I treat you?" The Westerner replied, "Excellent." Liu said: "Now the British consul is forcing you to terminate the contract, and it is estimated that you will not be able to do it anymore." If tomorrow the British consul still insists on your resignation, you can ask him to pay the liquidated damages, and explain the facts in every word, and I will reward you heavily. Liu also drank with the four of them at a feast of foreign wine, and the Westerners felt respected and expressed their reluctance to separate.

At 11 o'clock in the morning of the next day, at the Governor's Palace, Zhang Zhidong, Liu Xuexun, and British Consul were all present. Liu Xuexun called the four Westerners to enter, only to see the Westerners first salute Zhang Zhidong and then to Liu Xuexun. Liu Xuexun said to them: "This is your envoy. The Westerners saluted the British consul.

After some inquiry, the British consul severely reprimanded the four people, and the Westerners presented the signed contract, and the British consul promised to compensate Liu in full according to the contract, and ordered the four to go to Shamian on the same day and not live in Liu's house again. After the British consul left, Liu still went home in a sedan chair, and he rewarded each Westerner with 500 yuan, and some Westerners were moved to tears.

The Westerners returned to Shamian and were immediately repatriated. So far, the matter of Westerners carrying sedan chairs has spread all over the streets and alleys of Yangcheng, and women and children know about it.

Of course, Liu Xuexun will also become famous.

In 1895, on the eve of the Yiwei uprising, Sun Wen found Liu Xuexun in Hong Kong, and after some temptation, he finally found out that Liu Xuexun was not a frog at the bottom of the well, and he also had great ambitions. Liu Xuexun said: "I had a dream at night, I dreamed that I was wearing a dragon robe, and I was on the ninth five, and my brother came to kowtow to me, tell me what happened?" ”

Sun Wen explained his dream and said: "This is a good thing, it means that the revolution has succeeded, and the eldest brother is our leader!" Liu Xuexun said: "Revolution...... I'm not interested. It's a bit interesting to be Zhu Yuanzhang and Hong Xiuquan. If I were Zhu Yuanzhang and Hong Xiuquan, would you be willing to be Xu Da and Yang Xiuqing. ”

Sun Wen shook his head and said: "Overthrow an emperor, and another emperor will come out, and there is still no hope for China." If China wants to make progress, it must follow the example of Britain, France, Japan, and the United States, and establish a United States and a country governed by the rule of law. ”

Liu Xuexun shook his head and said: "Don't forget that China is a feudal country that has been autocratic for thousands of years, and how difficult it is to establish a United States that imitates Britain, France, Japan and the United States!" However, I know my brother's ambitions, and if my brother has to make a revolution, how about I be willing to come up with a plan? ”

Sun Wen was full of excitement and asked, "I want to hear it in detail, I don't know what the conspiracy you are talking about?" ”

Liu Xuexun, who was not smiling, leaned close to Sun Wen's ear and said: "What the revolution lacks most at present, I know, and you know. What China lacks the most at the moment, I know, and you know. What I'm doing at the moment, I know, and you know. ”

Sun Wen smiled and said, "I guessed it." ”
