Gong Ren said: "This is all a conspiracy played by Liu Xuexun, what is the independence of the two Guangzhou, what is the alliance of Sun Li Kang, what is the 60,000 yuan, these are all pretenses, the most important thing is that Liu Xuexun has already received a telegram from the Qing court, and it is their real purpose to get rid of Kang Youwei." We haven't arrived in Singapore yet, so maybe he has already gone to the inside line and told Kang Youwei that the Japanese were going to murder him. This Kang Youwei is stupid, so he was fooled. In this way, he drove a wedge between our revolutionary party and the royalist party, and if our two factions really united, it would be a great political and military enemy for the Qing court. Liu Xuexun is really well-intentioned......"

Sun Wen thought about it for a while and said, "You may have some truth in what you said. Now, what should we do? ”

Gong Ren said: "Li Hongzhang, an old bureaucrat and cunning man, how can he unite with our revolutionary party and the royalist party? It's better to hit the pot and say the pot, and the bowl to talk about the bowl in front of you, Wuhan is like a dangerous egg, and at the last moment, maybe when, Zhang Zhidong is the same as Li Hongzhang, and as soon as his face is turned over, hundreds of thousands of our brothers will suffer. ”

Sun Wen nodded and said, "You mean to rush to Wuhan as soon as possible, and tell Tang Caichang to make preparations as soon as possible and save our revolutionary forces as soon as possible." Gong Ren nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Sun Wen gave an order to Gongren and immediately set off for Wuhan.

The situation in Wuhan is also complex and volatile.

After the rise of the Boxer Rebellion in Beijing, the British, on the one hand, tried their best to win over Zhang Zhidong and Liu Kunyi to sign the "Southeast Mutual Protection Charter" and establish their own unique sphere of influence, and on the other hand, they instigated Kang Youwei to instruct the self-reliant army to support Zhang Zhidong and declare independence in the Yangtze River valley and establish a "self-reliant country in the southeast". Tang Caichang, Lin Gui and others were advised by Kang Youwei to persuade Zhang Zhidong to declare independence and break away from the Qing government. Between the Qing court, the British, and the Independence Army, Zhang Zhidong repeatedly weighed and had an ambiguous attitude, but before the uprising of the Independence Army, Cixi and Guangxu had safely fled from Beijing to Xi'an, and the Qing government was able to survive, and the situation suddenly became more complicated.

What kept the Independence Army in the dark was that Zhang Zhidong thought twice, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to return to the embrace of the Qing court to exterminate the Independence Army, and informed the British consul in Hankow of this decision. Although Britain secretly supported Tang Caichang and intended to use the Self-Reliance Army as one of the ways to use China, at this moment the Eight-Nation Alliance was negotiating peace conditions with the Qing government and adopting "conservatism" against Cixi; At this time, the British were also afraid that the uprising of the Independence Army would shake its ruling order in the Yangtze River Valley, so they changed their attitude and supported Zhang Zhidong to extinguish the Independence Army.

Tang Caichang, Lin Gui and others considered the current unpredictable and dangerous grim situation, so they had no choice but to decide to break the kettle and revolt in Hankou on August 22, and all parts of Hunan and Hubei were attacked at the same time, planning that the Hankou Self-Reliance Army would first seize the Hanyang Arsenal, solve the weapons and equipment, and then occupy the three towns of Wuhan in one fell swoop, and then wave to Xi'an to rescue Emperor Guangxu.

Gongren quickly returned to Wuhan, found Tang Caichang, first reported the situation in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and then said: "Commander-in-Chief Tang, there is one thing I don't understand? "What do you not understand?" Tang Cai often asked. "Why hasn't our head office changed places?"

Tang Caichang's eyes seemed to be only fixed on one place, and it took a long time before he said, "I've been too busy these days, so I forgot about this." But judging from the current situation, we have always been in contact with our British friends, and they are not going to do anything to us? Let's talk about Zhang Zhidong, the relationship with us is not bad, if he turns his face, don't forget that this is the British Concession! ”

Gongren said: "That was before, the current situation is that Cixi and Guangxu have fled to Xi'an, and the overall situation of the Qing court has been decided. Our headquarters has already been exposed, so it's better to move as soon as possible. ”

Tang Cai often said: "What you said is also reasonable, but we are about to revolt, and this organ in Hankou is familiar with all the independent forces, so it is convenient to contact the work, and when we are done with this period, we will immediately transfer the general organ." ”

Gong Ren reminded: "We are really living on the knife edge at present, and we are at a critical moment, and there is always a danger of being chopped and eaten by others, so I think it is better to transfer it quickly!" ”

However, Tang Caichang still held a fluke mentality, thinking that the uprising would be held immediately and there would be no chaos.

In the middle of the night on August 21, Gong Ren was suddenly awakened in his sleep, and felt that there was a noise of people outside, and the shouts were shocking, as if countless troops had surrounded the organs of the Self-Reliance Army. Looking out of the window, I saw a dense crowd of Qing soldiers, holding torches, illuminating the night as if it were day, and not a single foreign patrol could be seen. Gong Ren sighed in his heart: "The foreign devil and the Qing dog have finally started. If we had known this, the headquarters should have been transferred as soon as possible! ”

Gong Ren hurriedly arrived at Tang Caichang's house, and saw that Tang Caichang, Lin Gui, Fu Cixiang, Tian Bangxuan and others were already holding weapons in their hands, and they wanted to fight to the death with the Qing army, but Tang Qingying in Tang Caichang's arms was still crying: "Dear father...... Daddy...... What are we going to do...... ...... "Crying, Tang is often upset."

Seeing Gongren enter the house, Tang Caichang forced Tang Qingying into Gongren's arms and said: "Brother Gongren, they all complain about me, they don't listen to Bi Yongnian and you, they hurt you, Qingying, Qin Lishan, and the brothers of the Self-Reliance Army, I already knew that Zhang Zhidong was such an unreliable thing, so why bother waiting." Qingying, I'll entrust it to you, you two run for your lives!"

Gong Ren's face changed and said: "Commander-in-Chief Tang, don't talk about this, I can do it without you, I can't do it without you." Let's cover, you can go with Qingying!" Tang Caichang's neck flushed, his face rose, and he said excitedly: "At such a time, how can I go, I want to die for the Self-Reliance Army." Poor Qingying is still a child, we are these people who are strong in your martial arts, so I will please, please. As he spoke, he pulled Tang Qingying out of Gong Ren's arms, stuffed it into the fireplace, and said to Gong Ren: "I have already renovated the fireplace, and I can barely drill through my body, so hurry up along this road." After stuffing it, Tang Qingying pushed Gong Ren into the fireplace again.

Gong Ren was reluctant to go, Tang Caichang was almost crazy, and angrily scolded Gong Ren: "Gong Ren, Gong Ren, you will leave a root for our Tang family!" For the sake of my Tang Caichang's face to get along with you, I beg you-" Gong Ren saw that the door had been slammed, and if he didn't run, he was afraid that it would be too late, so he pushed Tang Qingying and got into the fireplace himself. Tang Caichang moved the furniture in the back, trying his best to block the entrance to the fireplace.

The fireplace is unusually narrow, but fortunately, the male is dexterous and has some martial arts, so he can barely drill into it. Tang Qingying was crying and crying, unwilling to leave, and Gong Ren was in a hurry, so he beat him in the back, urging him to drill quickly. When the two of them saw a bend, they turned around, drilled a hole when they saw it, and they were covered in soot and became black.

It was not easy to get out of the hole, and at first glance, it was in another room of the general office, and it had not yet escaped the encirclement of the Qing army. "What can I do?" Gong Ren exclaimed.

Tang Qingying stopped crying at this time, and shouted: "Follow me!" He led Gong Ren three times and two times, and turned to a corner of a building, where there was a sewer iron cover. Gong Ren quickly lifted the iron cover, and Qingying drilled in, Gong Ren closed the cover again, and climbed down the sewer ditch and again.

I don't know how far I climbed, the bodies of the two of them were soaked with dirty water, dirty, smelly and black, it was estimated that they had almost escaped from the encirclement of the Qing army, Gongren opened the manhole cover, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and pulled Tang Qingying to climb out.

Tang Qingying was shocked, tired and afraid, and suddenly fell into Gongren's arms, crying whining. Gong Ren hugged him, holding back the tears that were about to fall, and quickly ran towards a no-man's corner. From time to time there were patrols and patrols at night, and Gong Ren avoided them, and quietly climbed into a parked carriage pulling garbage, and made a nest, and two people got into the garbage heap. The carriage drove through the concession pass, and Gong Ren and Tang Qingying evaded the inspection of the foreign devil soldiers guarding the concession. As soon as the car stopped, Gong Ren pulled Tang Qingying out of the garbage, quickly jumped out of the car, and hid in the slums of Hankou.

It was late at night, there were few people, and the dirty, smelly and black Gong Ren hugged Tang Qingying and sat down in the beggar pile in the slum area, surrounded by dirty and smelly beggars who were unclothed, no one laughed at anyone, and from time to time there were bursts of ** sounds and screams in nightmares.

Tang Qingying hummed and chirped, closed her eyes tiredly, patted him gently, and learned from her father when he was a child: "Sleep, sleep, sleep, doll sleep, cover the quilt, the doll doesn't sleep and hit the mallet, ho-ho-sleep, sleep, sleep!" ”

Xiao Qingying gradually fell asleep under the care of Gong Ren, through the dim street lights above her head, Gong Ren saw that Xiao Qingying's little nose was still shrugging, and the corners of her eyes didn't know if it was because of grievances or because she felt motherly love, two clear tears dripped out, and Gong Ren gently wiped him off with the corner of his sleeve.

Gong Ren thought that he was an orphan who had lost his parents, and Xiao Qingying was also an orphan, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two orphans, and the two hearts were getting closer and closer. Gong Ren felt the heat on his body, as if there was a family feeling that could no longer be separated between the two of them, as if he could no longer leave this little friend in distress. As for Tang Qingying, she slept more and more calmly in her arms, her arms and legs were all stretched out, and a naughty smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In this way, the two orphans gradually fell asleep while snuggling up to each other.

When I woke up, the sun was already high, and it was basking these poor people fiercely. Some people in the beggar's pile are uncomfortable, some are stretching their waists, some are rubbing the thick dirt on their clothes, blowing the floating soil on them with their mouths, some are rummaging through their clothes to catch lice on them, and some are still biting with their teeth, making the sound of teeth clashing teeth from time to time.

There is no habit of brushing teeth and washing faces, beggars do not have this awareness, and there is no concept of wearing clothes and changing clothes, beggars sleep in clothes. The first thing people here think of when they wake up in the morning is how to eat breakfast today.

When the beggars found out that there were two more beggars in the pile, they suddenly became more united than ever, and looked at Gong Ren and Tang Qingying with hostile eyes, because these two people were about to take another part of their limited food. First of all, four or five young and strong people came over and kicked Tang Qingying and Gong Ren around, and the people behind shouted nonsense: "Kick him to death!" "Shoot him!" "Strangle them."

Gong Ren was cold, tired and hungry, hugging Tang Qingying tightly, afraid that he couldn't bear to beat him for a while, and Tang Qingying yelled and scolded the person who beat him in Gong Ren's arms, and he could scold him for any ugly words: "Presumably you must be the best among the scum, the beast among the beasts, look at it, your little face is so thin, you don't look like a pig!" You look very creative, you live a very courageous life, ugly is not your intention, God is losing his temper. Three watches in the middle of the night, there is no light in the toilet, you go to relieve your hands, fall into the pit, fight with insects (insects on the poop in the wrong place), compete with, no one saves you, heroic sacrifice, life is great, death is silent, in memory of you, the toilet lights ......"

Gong Ren was beaten so much that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he left the beggar group with Xiao Qingying in his arms and ran towards those civilians. The people here are so busy and walking so hurriedly that no one cares about these two little beggars. Gong Ren only felt that his stomach was rumbling, and the greedy worms came up to stir up the empty stomach and felt uncomfortable. Xiao Qingying was also hungry and shouted loudly: "I want to eat bread!" I'm going to drink milk! Gong Ren sighed and said, "Don't talk about eating bread and drinking milk, you don't even have a nest." ”

Tang Qingying knew that there was no bread and milk, so she looked at the fritters, baked cakes, tea and eggs on those food stalls with big eyes. While people were not paying attention, Xiao Qingying grabbed two baked cakes and ran, and the young man behind chased after her, so that Xiao Qingqing was cornered and plunged into the beggars.

Here, Gong Ren patted his legs and shouted anxiously: "Freeze to death at the windward station, starve to death and don't want to eat." How could Xiao Qingying be such a child, how could you be like this! ”

Now the beggars have become more united than ever. This one deliberately blocked the young man's way, and the one who hugged the young man's leg all of a sudden played tricks: "Okay, okay, okay, give some money." The young man was so angry that he screamed and scolded, but there was nothing he could do, and he couldn't catch Xiao Qingying anymore, so he had to scold and leave.

As soon as he left, all the beggars surrounded Xiao Qingying, and they all stretched out their hands to burn the cake, but Xiao Qingying held the cake tightly in her arms, but she didn't give it. Gong Ren hurriedly ran over, protected Xiao Qingying and said, "He's still a child, and he's hungry, so you can let him do a little bit?" ”

Where did the beggars hear the nagging of Gong Ren, and they all came up to grab it, although Xiao Qingying and Gong Ren desperately protected the two baked cakes, but the baked cakes were still snatched away by the beggars. Xiao Qingying was so angry that she scolded them: "You have the ability, go and rob it yourself, what are you robbing me for, shameless!" Don't be shy! I died after eating the pancakes. Phew-"

The beggars fought for these two biscuits, and you tore my clothes, and I scratched your face, and finally the two biscuits were torn into seven or eight pieces, and the beggars were desperately stuffing them into their mouths.

Gongren went over to reprimand Tang Qingying and said: "How can you rob it, who taught you to rob it, isn't it embarrassing for me." Tang Qingying was aggrieved, hungry again, choked and cried, kicking and kicking on the ground. Gongren was distressed again, and gently wiped his tears for him and said, "I complain that my uncle is incapable and makes you starving." Uncle will be cheeky and ask you for food. ”

Gongren led Tang Qingying again, went to the market, broke his face and hummed in a low voice: "Uncles and uncles, uncles and aunts, there is really no way, take pity on it!" After shouting for a long time, no one paid attention, and some people glanced at Gongren and said, "If you are young, you still need food, and you don't lack arms or legs, won't you earn it?" ”

A group of married people came from afar, in front of them was a drummer to open the way, followed by a young boy holding a big white horse, the groom on the horse was draped in red flowers, and behind was four sedan chair men carrying a big red flower Jiao, carrying the small sedan chair trembling and trembling, surrounded by a group of big daughters, daughters-in-law and children running around, some shouted happily, and some set off festive firecrackers.

Suddenly, more than a dozen beggars flashed in front of Gong Ren, led by a black face, and his face was smeared with some dust, just like a black pot head. All of a sudden, they were lying in front of the marriage team, one by one still humming, and some of them even crossed their legs, looking like that, they didn't want to get up in the middle of the road at all.
