The person that Gong Ren thought of was Cai Tinggan, but fortunately, Cai Tinggan lived not far away, just upstairs in the Lychee Hotel. Gong Ren knocked on the door, just in time, Cai Tinggan was reading a book in the house, and he agreed: "Please come in-"

Gong Ren pushed the door and entered the house, and saw Cai Tinggan's table with the four treasures of the study, and some books next to it. Of course, Gong Ren also had something to say: "Cai Gong, Cai Gong, I didn't expect to work so hard, I just finished the negotiation today, and I haven't rested yet, so I'm busy studying." ”

"Where, where," Cai Tinggan said modestly, "it is not possible if you don't study, it is precisely because you don't study that China was defeated by Japan, and I have a deep understanding of China's backwardness!" China's military industry, China's weapons and equipment, and the quality of China's army are not even a little bit worse! ”

"But the most important thing you didn't say," Gong Ren said, "Japan, the United States, Britain, France, and Western countries are capitalist, but China is a feudal autocracy. What kind of books are Cai Gong reading? ”

Cai Tinggan nodded and said, "I read some books on machinery, military equipment, and the like." Brother Gongren is right! But those are all major national affairs, and we ordinary people are one, and we are not in a position to worry about major national affairs. ”

As the two were talking, Gong Ren's eyes casually glanced over the table, and on a blank piece of paper there were some random things written to help memory, including an important index of machinery, an important index of military equipment, and some things like death. Gong Ren flipped through those books, and the words of compliment came again: "If they were all like Cai Gong, everyone studied military affairs, everyone learned machinery, China would have been rich and strong a long time ago, but there are many people who spend a lot of time on eight shares and fantasy, is it worth it?" Cai Tinggan smiled and said: "That's their business, I can't take care of it, but I feel that there is not enough time, Chinese do not study, young people do not study, and people are getting farther and farther away." ”

After greeting for a while, Gong Ren also got to the point: "There are a lot of things at present, once the two Guangxi are independent, I think the Qing government will attack the two Guangxi on a large scale, we have to be fully prepared?" Don't know how well you're preparing? Cai Tinggan smiled and said, "That's what Governor Li and Lord Liu should worry about, and it has nothing to do with us." But I think that the current Cixi Beijing can't take care of it, and she still cares about our Guangdong affairs! That is to say, taking advantage of this opportunity, we can become independent. ”

Gong Ren shook his head and said: "No, no, don't look at Cixi who can't beat foreign devils, but to deal with us in Guangdong, she still has a way to deal with us, military attack, political bribery, economic co-optation, or a salary from the bottom of the kettle." Besides, Guangdong is not monolithic, the Qing Dynasty has ruled for hundreds of years, and there are always a few people who have to maintain it. ”

Listening to Gongren's words, Cai Tinggan suddenly became nervous and said, "According to what you say, isn't it so easy for the two Guangxi to become independent?" ”

Gong Ren also said: "Not only is it very difficult for the two provinces to become independent, but there is also a major matter, that is, Guangdong is close to Hong Kong, and if the British Empire inserts another lever and stabs us in the back, then our situation will be even more difficult." Cai Tinggan became even more nervous when he heard this, and said: "You mean Hong Kong's Bu Li, I think he is quite supportive of the independence of our two Guangdong, and he will not do anything bad." ”

Gong Ren said: "If you don't want to make three profits, you can't afford to catch up with the big set, I don't think Bu Li has any good intentions." When the time comes, when the two Guangxi and one become independent and are oppressed by the Qing government, they will inevitably ask for money, guns and food. After relying on Britain for a long time, Britain will become the big boss of Liangguang, and when the time comes, it will not be on the account, so Britain will turn its face, push the boat down the river, and take Liangguang away at once. When the time comes, we won't have time to cry, and we will become the culprits of betraying Liangguang. ”

Cai Tinggan became even more nervous when he heard this, and said: "If you want to say so, is it better for the two Guangxi to be independent or not?" Gong Ren sighed and said, "That's not all, it depends on how we operate." ”

Gong Ren looked at the four words in the pile of words on the table again, frowned, and said: "'Live and die', who is this so ruthless, is it against Mr. Sun?" Cai Tinggan hurriedly smiled and said: "Where, where, isn't it Mr. Li who wants to ensure Mr. Sun's safety, how can he treat Mr. Sun like this!" Gong Ren turned his head again and said: "It's not Mr. Sun, that's Kang Youwei, I heard that Lord Liu has a lot of prejudice against Kang Youwei!" In the last few months, Wei Jinshan's shot almost put Lord Liu up, can Lord Liu not remember it? ”

Gong Ren's words were too fast, Cai Tinggan didn't react for a while, and just wanted to say "Yes," but he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly stopped talking and said, "This is ...... This...... As for what the grown-ups think, how do I know? Besides, these words were written on paper casually, where is the telegram! ”

Gong Ren smiled and said, "Did I say it was a telegram from the imperial court?" ”

Cai Tinggan thought about it, it was true that there were many mistakes, and he said that he was out of the mouth, but the words had already been spoken, and no matter how much he covered it up, there were no three hundred taels of silver here, so he had to say: "Look at my mouth, say it casually, say it casually." ”

In fact, Gongren's temptation revealed a shocking secret of the Qing court, that is, in December 1899, Cixi ordered Li Hongzhang to act as the governor of Liangguang and "hand over Liu Xuexun to Li Hongzhang for dispatch", one of the purposes was to use Liu Xuexun's activity energy to arrest Kang Youwei, who was staying in Hong Kong at this time. Li Hongzhang's request to Liu Xuexun was to "live and die", that is, it was best to live and be killed.

Liu Xuexun was originally a gentleman in Guangdong, and he had connections in Hong Kong and Macao in the province, and he had the money to hire killer eyeliner, which posed a great threat to the royalists. Liu Xuexun offered advice to Li Hongzhang and wanted to use the power of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party to assist in the removal of Kang. Liang Qichao also guessed a few points about this matter, and was very anxious about it, saying that "the fat thief (Li Hongzhang) and Liu Dolphin (Liu Xuexun) have increased the resistance of our generation in Guangdong, and it is advisable to try to try to do so", and wrote to Luo Pu in Japan asking for all means to get rid of Liu Xuexun. In April, Liu Xuexun returned to Guangzhou by boat from Macau, and as soon as he landed ashore, he was shot in the chest by Wei Jinshan with a pistol, and he almost finished playing.

Gong Ren saw that the temptation of Cai Tinggan had been completed, and after chatting a few more words, he returned to his room, pondered carefully for a while, and then sent Sun Wen a secret telegram, which read: "It is observed that the so-called great alliance of Sun and Li Kang, the independence of the two Guangzhous, is really nothing, and the purpose of the Qing court is to assassinate Kang Youwei and kill him." If Li Liu's faction frames our party, it may be, and if their conspiracy succeeds, it will be even more impossible for me to unite with the royalists. ”

Although Sun Likang's joint document has not yet been signed, the relevant work is still going on as usual. At 3 o'clock in the morning of the next day, on the gunboat "Anlan" on the Hong Kong dock, Cai Tinggan took pictures of these people as a commemoration, and Liu Xuexun immediately gave Miyazaki Yin 30,000 yuan.

When it comes to why the photo was taken, the clever officials can certainly guess it, which is equivalent to a receipt, providing strong evidence for the imminent formation of the Great Alliance. If the union fails, it is easy to say that it is the money that Liu Xuexuan paid for, and it has nothing to do with Li Hongzhang.

Miyazaki urged Liu Xuexun and said: "Since the money has reached half of it, I still ask Mr. Liu to urge Mr. Li to sign the relevant documents of Sun Li Kang's union as soon as possible." Liu Xuexun said: "Mr. Li is thinking about it, and when it is done, this document will be signed as soon as possible." "The words have already arrived, and Miyazaki Inzo is not good to urge anymore.

Miyazaki got the 30,000 yuan, overjoyed, and said to Gongren and these people: "Mr. Sun is really not easy, over the years, he has been reluctant to eat or drink, not only has he been penniless, but even Sun Mei and those relatives have long been hollowed out." The revolution needs money everywhere, and funds are needed everywhere, and with these 30,000 yuan, we can solve a big problem, and with those 30,000 yuan, our life will be better. ”

Yang Quyun said: "Yes, yes, it's really hard to owe money." For those overseas Chinese, I am embarrassed to see them if we have made no progress in our work. With this money, let's not talk about going to the restaurant, we can always have a full meal! Gong Ren said in his heart: "This money is not so easy to spend, maybe there is a barb hook in the money, and it really hooks us inexplicably!" ”

In accordance with Sun Wen's instructions, Miyazaki Inzo, Uchida Ryohei, Kiyoto Koshichiro, and Gongren and their entourage quickly rushed to Singapore to discuss specific matters of the alliance with Kang Youwei, while Yang Quyun, Li Hongzhang, and Liu Xuexun were left in Hong Kong to discuss the specific matters of the alliance.

Located on the southern coast of Singapore Island in Singapore, bordered by the southeast side of the Strait of Malacca to the west and the north side of the Singapore Strait to the south, the Port of Singapore is the largest entrepot in the Asia-Pacific region, also known as the Lion City, Sin Chew or Sing Dao. The air is humid and the climate is pleasant, which makes people feel very comfortable. Miyazaki Yinzang knew that he was about to see Kang Youwei, and he was very happy, and boasted to Gongren: "Seeing Mr. Kang is equivalent to going home, do you know who I am from Mr. Kang?" ”

"Of course, it's a lifesaver," Mr. Gong said.

"Of course," Miyazaki felt extremely proud every time he talked about this history, "Who doesn't know, when the Wuxu Reform failed, it was I who was ordered by Mr. Sun to protect Mr. Kang Youwei from Hong Kong to Yokohama, Japan, on the Japanese ship Kawachi Maru. Although it was Kang Youwei who went through all kinds of hardships, went out of Beijing to Tianjin, went down to Yantai to Shanghai, and finally under the protection of the British, he was not arrested by the Qing court, but it was because of my efforts that he finally went to Japan and got out of danger. ”

"So, at this moment, what is Kang Youwei doing?" Gong Ren asked again.

"Needless to say," said Miyazaki Iozo happily, "at this moment, he must have prepared Chinese wine, fried Chinese food, and was waiting for me to sit down, and then he poured me a full glass of wine and said, "Benefactor is here, let's raise our glasses together to celebrate our new cooperation, and do it."

Ryohei Uchida and Koshichiro Kiyoto all smiled, and Gongren's heart was also very happy, the life-saving benefactor came, at least a big feast, a drunken party, and then rested enough to talk about cooperation.

However, after waiting at the port for a while, there was still no trace of Kang Youwei. Miyazaki Yinzang said: "This Kang Youwei, why don't you come to pick me up, when I see him in a while, I must punish him three cups." ”

After another while, there was still no movement, and even Ryohei Uchida and Koshichiro Kiyoto were a little anxious, and they kept looking around. Miyazaki Yinzang scolded again: "This Kang Youwei is too unreasonable, it's not a matter of three glasses, but to punish him with six glasses of wine." Gong Ren also felt that something was not quite right in his heart, and he had to look closely, and this observation showed that the problem was coming, some armed men like police were quietly approaching here.

Gongren whispered to Miyazaki Inzo: "I don't see it, are these policemen coming at us, should we hurry up and hide?" Miyazaki shook his head and said, "No, Singapore doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Qing Dynasty, and besides, Singapore is a free port, how can it use force against us?" We didn't do anything illegal. ”

Gongren warned Miyazaki Inzo again: "Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, it's better to stay away from them." ”

The two were talking, and they saw Kang Youwei coming from a distance, and he was still carrying more than a dozen people, all of whom seemed to be carrying weapons. Miyazaki Yinzang sneered and said: "This Kang Youwei, too cowardly, this is Singapore, not the Qing Dynasty, what are you afraid of!" Gong Ren also advised: "I don't think the people are good, we should be prepared in advance, don't be harmed by them." Miyazaki Inzo laughed at Gong Ren again and said: "You are too nervous, right, if he doesn't come to carry us in a sedan chair, how can he still harm us?" ”

In the blink of an eye, Kang Youwei and his gang had arrived, and more than a dozen of them took out pistols from their waists at once and pointed them at Miyazaki and his group, and in addition, more than a dozen policeman-like Singaporeans also held long guns and surrounded Miyazaki and his group in the center at once. Miyazaki was a little puzzled and asked Kang Youwei: "Mr. Kang, what's going on, is there such a welcome ceremony?" ”

Kang Youwei looked a little nervous and said to the Singapore police: "Search them, they are armed with them." "The policemen rushed up and searched the bodies of Miyazaki's group, but found nothing but some simple items that they had brought with them.

Miyazaki got angry and scolded Kang Youwei: "Kang Youwei, you ungrateful villain, what are you doing, you have to apologize to me." ”

Kang Youwei also retorted: "Do you think I don't know, you are here to engage in some kind of alliance openly, and secretly you are here to assassinate me, and it is a shame that someone is here to deliver the news, otherwise, you gangsters would have been harmed a long time ago." ”

Miyazaki Inzo was even more dissatisfied, and scolded: "It's just nonsense, nonsense, what did I assassinate you for, why did I assassinate you." I saved your life, don't you still believe me, you really don't believe my words, don't you still believe Mr. Sun. I thought you were a great political man, but I didn't expect you to be a little chicken, with no political vision at all, and you are not worthy of doing big things at all. Come on, what else do you want to do, come to me if you have the ability!? ”

Gong Ren also scolded: "You royalist dog, we came to join forces with you with good intentions, but you treat us like this, come to this way." If Mr. Sun hadn't saved your life, you would have been beheaded by the Qing government, what else do you have to do, what's so good? ”

No matter how Miyazaki and Gongren scolded, Kang Youwei still commanded the policemen to force them at gunpoint and escorted the four Miyazaki to prison. By the time Sun Wen came to Singapore to deal with the matter, the contradictions between the revolutionary party and the royalist party had become so loud that the entire media and the common people knew about it, and there was no sign of reconciliation.

When Sun Wen hid Miyazaki, some people in Gongren were finally bailed out, where did they still have the heart to negotiate with Kang Youwei again, and the two sides had become evenly matched.

Gongren got out of prison and said to Sun Wen: "Mr. Sun, I have been thinking about this question for a long time, and I finally have an eyebrow. ”

"Then what do you want, tell me too?" Sun Wen asked.
