After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, the Qing government wantonly searched for Sun Wen and his "rebellious party" in Guangzhou, and Sun Wen could not stay in Guangzhou any longer, so he had to quietly flee to Yokohama, Japan, on a steamship with Chen Shaobai, Gong Ren, and others, in order to develop his strength among Chinese students and overseas Chinese. Before leaving, he sent Wang Dayan to continue to develop the armed forces of the triad and infiltrate all the people, the army, and the government.

Yokohama is the capital of Kanagawa Prefecture and the second largest city in Japan. It is bordered by Tokyo Bay to the east, Yokosuka and other cities to the south, and Kawasaki City to the north. Originally a small fishing village on the shores of Tokyo Bay, Yokohama became a free trade port in 1859, and in 1873, it developed into the largest port in Japan, and in 1889 it was established as a city.

Several people got off the ship in Yokohama, Japan, and Sun Wen told Gongren to hurry up and buy a newspaper to see what the Japanese media thought about the Guangzhou Uprising.

After Gongren bought the newspaper, he hurriedly browsed through it and saw that there seemed to be an important message on the front page, but he couldn't read the Japanese characters, so he had to hand it to Sun Wen. Sun Wen took the newspaper and read: "Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Revolutionary Party of China, has arrived in Japan. Gong Ren frowned and asked: "Why did the Japanese write it wrong, it should be the leader of the rebel party, or the rebel party or the liberation party, how did they write it as a revolutionary party?" Chen Shaobai also said: "This is indeed the first time I have heard the word revolution. ”

Sun Wen smiled: "The word revolution, the Japanese are indeed innovative. However, China has long had the word revolution, which comes from the Tangwu Revolution in the Book of Changes, which originally meant political change, and it can also be said that the revolution is called revolution when the king changes his surname and the king's surname. I think these two words are very good, in the future, our cause will be called revolution, and our Xingzhong Association will be called the revolutionary party! ”

Chen Shaobai, Gong Ren and several others nodded in agreement.

A few people went to Yamashita Town, located in Naka-ku, Yokohama, which is a Chinese restaurant street called "Chinatown", also known as "Nanjing Street", Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in Japan, with 4 areas, a total of 4 ancient gates, and 90% of the residents are Chinese. At the entrance, there is a 10-meter-high archway with the words "Chinatown" written on it, and there are about twenty or thirty colorful restaurants lined up on both sides of the street. The restaurant is divided into four major cuisines: Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Sichuan, and all kinds of Chinese cuisine maintain their original flavors.

At this time, Japan was in the midst of a period of drastic change, and a large number of factories appeared in the vicinity of these business districts, rows of factories with sloping roofs, textile factories with foul air in exhaust fans, and steel mills with thick black smoke from tall chimneys, and it is said that there are more than 3,000 overseas Chinese in Japan.

Gong Ren sighed as he walked: "This is like Japan, it's like in China." It is a pity that China is not as developed as Japan, and everyone is running textile factories and weaving white and fine foreign cloth, but we are still weaving black and rough coarse cloth with wooden looms at home. ”

Chen Shaobai said: "China is also engaged in the Westernization movement, but compared with Japan, it is a small thing. If this kind of development continues, I think that sooner or later Japan will become a fierce rival of China, and Japan is not a big country, but compared with China, it is a strong country. ”

Sun Wen continued: "Therefore, we need a revolution, and when the revolution is successful, we must catch up with Japan as soon as possible. ”

Education in Yokohama is also unprecedentedly prosperous, and Chinese businessmen have set up a university hall for Chinese, and the school is filled with all Chinese students.

As soon as a few people entered the international student area, they saw that the wall was plastered with "Sun Wenyan go back!" "Down with Sun Wen!" "Sun Wen can't entertain!" and other big-character slogans.

Some people saw Sun Wen coming over, talked quietly, and then avoided one after another, and some even spat and threw half a brick. Chen Shaobai was furious, and he wanted to catch up and reason with them. Sun Wen smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't do this. Who made us not only unpopular, but also the generals of the defeated army, and even less a propaganda position? ”

Several people went through the formalities in the international student area, and a small room was arranged in the district. A few people went to the house to see, the house is cobwebs, and garbage, it seems that it has been inhabited for a long time, at this time it is raining heavily outside, but it is raining lightly in the house, and after a while, it is not raining outside, but the house is still dripping and dripping. A few people patiently cleaned the room, but no international student came to help, let alone greeted, they all hid far away, watching the excitement of these people.

Seeing that Mr. Sun was thirsty, Gongren went to the neighbor's house to borrow some boiling water, but smashed the door, but no one opened the door. Gong Ren was very angry in his heart, and came back to Sun Wen and said, "Why are these people so backward, why do they treat us like this? Sun Wen smiled and said: "Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao's influence here is too great, they think they are some authentic literati, but they see us as some robbers." It doesn't matter, after cleaning the house, they ignore us, we go and see them, see what they are thinking, what are they doing? ”

In the evening, Sun Wen, Chen Shaobai, and Gong Ren arrived at the door of the dormitory of Tang Caichang, a foreign student.

Gong Ren knocked on the door, and asked in the room, "Who?" Sun Wen replied: "I, Sun Wen, the revolutionary party came to visit." There was no movement in the house, and Gong Ren was knocking on the door again, and after a while, the house saw that it was difficult to get outside, so he opened the door. The door was opened by a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, not fat or thin, lean and neat, with a slight strand of black hair under his lips, and behind him stood a tall strong man with two eyes and a nervous expression, holding a stick in his hand, as if he was ready to fight at any moment.

The one who opened the door first blocked the door and didn't let people in, but asked nervously, "Who is Sun Wen?" Sun Wen smiled and said, "I am." The young man looked up and down at Sun Wen's face, left and right. Sun Wen smiled and said, "What are you looking at? The young man said, "They all say that Sun Wen is the most powerful mountain king with red eyebrows and green eyes, don't I think so?" Sun Wen asked, "Do you think I am?" The young man said, "Your eyebrows are not red, your eyes are not green, you don't look like a mountain king, but like a teacher of Chinese literature." In this case...... Then come in! Then he let the three men into the house.

Sun Wen took off his shoes and sat respectfully on the cleanly wiped floor, but did not go up on the tatami mats covered with white sheets. The young man with a strand of black hair under his lips said extremely coldly, "Down here is Tang Caichang, a student from Hunan," and then pointed to the tall strong man beside him and said, "This is my friend Qin Lishan." ”

Qin Lishan smiled innocently, and then put down the stick in his hand. Tang Caichang asked again: "I don't know if you have anything to do with me, just say it directly?" Sun Wen smiled and asked, "Where is Mr. Yuan?" ”

Tang Caichang snorted and said: "The student was just teaching and reading papers in the house of Qu Hong, a scholar and politician in Sichuan, and he was unwilling to fight with the world in his life, and he was a little free, just a cup of tea and meditating. After China's disastrous defeat in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War and the loss of power and humiliation of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the students really couldn't sit down anymore, and they only felt a pool of stagnant water in their hearts, and suddenly threw a big stone into it, stirring up huge waves. I want to rise up, I want to go out into society, and I want to devote myself to the great reform movement. ”

Sun Wen nodded and said, "Okay!" Good! Patriotism is commendable, but can this road be followed? ”

Tang Cai often retorted loudly: "Here you go again, isn't it?" Persuaded me to join the Revolutionary Party again, didn't you? How can we forget the emperor's deep benevolence and kindness, and how can we do those things that are rebellious and rebel against the court. Some time ago, when the news of the Treaty of Shimonoseki reached Beijing, it was the time when people from all provinces gathered in Beijing to take the exam, Mr. Kang Youwei suggested that the emperor should be written, and Mr. Liang Qichao ran day and night, calling on the world to sign a letter on the country. As a result, more than 1,200 people wrote on the bus, saying that once Taiwan is cut off, France will be in Yunnan and Guangxi, Britain will be in Yunnan, Vietnam and Tibet, and Russia will be in Xinjiang and Jilin and Heilongjiang. What's more, dozens of countries are eyeing behind? Now the people's hearts are disintegrating, there is no return, external troubles and internal strife, disaster is coming, the imperial court still has to borrow foreign money, begging for peace At present, the country is destroyed, and it will start now......" Tang Cai often said that he was heartbroken, and couldn't help but shed a few sad tears.

Sun Wen shouted angrily: "Okay! Good! This article says what we Chinese want to say. ”

Chen Shaobai and Gongren also nodded again and again when they heard this. Gong Ren found that Tang Cai was often a good mouth, good at speaking, very inciting, and a talent, but he didn't realize his own problems, and his eyes were always staring at one place when he spoke, as if he had a problem with his eyes.

Qin Lishan clenched his fists tightly and shouted: "Woo call me China, we can't sit here." We're going to pick up guns and fight the foreigners who bullied us! ”

Tang Caichang also said: "Mr. Kang Youwei put forward four political propositions to the emperor, issued an edict to drum up the spirit of the world, move the capital to determine the foundation of the world, train troops to strengthen the world, and change the law into the rule of the world." Although the book on the bus was not successful, the world was shaken, newspapers and periodicals were published one after another, and the movement for reform and reform gradually rose throughout the country. ”

Sun Wen sneered and said, "I think, things are not so simple. If you want to change the law, you have to move, you have to mess up, the Queen Mother of the West, Ronglu and those people, see that the change will affect their own vested interests, will they support the change? ”

Tang Caichang immediately retorted: "In any case, we are royalists and reformers, and you are overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing a republic, and we are incompatible." ”

The conversation reached an impasse for a while. At this time, Qin Lishan interjected and said: "I think, the royalist is to save the country and the people, and the revolution is also to save the country and the people, all for the same goal, why can't we unite?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their eyes to this tall and sturdy man. Gong Ren said: "I think what Mr. Qin said is reasonable, we can unite. Tang Cai often glanced at Qin Lishan, his eyes were always staring at one place, and said: "Brother Lishan's words are very confused, how can the royalist and the revolution unite?" It cannot be combined. Once united, we will be used by the revolutionary party, and then we will become sinners for the ages. Chen Shaobai sneered and said: "We are even more reluctant to unite with you, once united, are we afraid of being used by you?" ”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and someone came to visit, and Sun Wen quickly stood up to greet this person. Qin Lishan went to open the door and brought in a tall and thin young man, and when he saw it, this person was none other than Zhang Binglin, who met on the Wanghai Tower in Guangzhou. Zhang Binglin entered the door, bowed his hand humbly and said: "Hello everyone, I think that those who can come to Mr. Tang Caichang are either famous people or great Confucians, may I ask the gentlemen's surnames?" ”

Zhang Binglin suddenly recognized Gong Ren, and said with a smile: "I recognized this little brother from Wanghai Tower in Guangzhou, and he must be a good man." I wonder who this gentleman is? Zhang Binglin recognized at a glance that Sun Wen, who was very angry and unique, must be the protagonist of this house.

Sun Wen arched his hand and said: "In Xia Bucai, that is, Sun Wen, the most powerful mountain king with red eyebrows and green eyes, Sun Cannon." ”

Zhang Binglin didn't listen, but when he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said with great humility: "Mr. Sun, I drove you from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, and from Guangzhou to Yokohama, and when I arrived at your house, I realized that you came to visit this Mr. Tang's house again, and I was so miserable to get you!" In the next place, please accept Zhang Binglin's worship? As he spoke, he knelt down and gave a big salute to Sun Wen.

Sun Wen hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Our revolutionary party is not interested in this set, may I ask Mr. Zhang what is the matter?" ”

Zhang Binglin said: "The reason why I chase Mr. everywhere is to follow Mr. to rebel, which is what you call revolution. I believe that only revolution is the only medicine to save China. ”

Tang Caichang scoffed when he heard this, but Gong Ren and Chen Shaobai looked at Zhang Binglin with extremely appreciative eyes. Zhang Binglin was not convinced when he heard Tang Caichang, turned back to Tang Caichang and said: "I have long heard that Mr. Tang is the backbone of the royalist party. The brother is not talented, and he is willing to represent the revolutionary party and Mr. Tang, but I don't know what Mr. Tang thinks? ”

Tang Cai was often angry: "If you make a move, you will make a move, am I still afraid that you will not succeed." ”

Zhang Binglin said awe-inspiringly: "Not only do I pay lip service, but I also want to run a newspaper and openly debate on behalf of the revolutionary party and the royalist party. ”

Tang Cai often said loudly: "If you should fight, you should fight, anyway, I am also a teacher in the Sichuan Xuezheng Qu Hong's family, I just can't debate you, as well as Mr. Kang Youwei and Mr. Liang Qichao, that is a famous man in the world!" How can I be afraid of you, a yellow-haired boy whose hair has not faded and the smell has not dried. ”

Zhang Binglin said loudly: "Okay! Good! So today we are all very happy, let's take advantage of this joy, let's have the first debate, right? Zhang Binglin casually picked up other people's tea and drank it all, without quenching his thirst, he picked up another bowl and drank it to the bottom, but he was still unsatisfied, and picked up another bowl of tea and drank it, then he pursed his lips, talked eloquently, and Tang Cai often debated gently and fiercely.

The two of them were debating, Sun Wen and Chen Shaobai, and Gong Ren was out of trouble for a while. Sun Wen said: "Our party must run a newspaper or periodical to establish our own mouthpiece. Chen Shaobai and Gong Ren both nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Yes! Right! Gongren said: "It's just that my ink is still shallow, and I'm afraid I'm a little powerless to deal with these great literati?" Sun Wen said to Gong Ren: "We all have to learn, if we don't learn how to fight against them, who are full of learning." Gong Ren, what books do you usually read? ”

Gong Ren said: "Those four books and five classics are extremely old-fashioned, I don't want to read them, I like to read novels, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I have read it four or five times, "The Art of War" and some military books and scientific books, I also like to read, and there are some mechanical books, I am even more willing to read." ”

Sun Wen praised Gongren a few words, and then asked, "Who do you like?" Gong Ren said: "I like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang. Sun Wen said: "Our revolutionary party is Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, the Empress Dowager of the West, Ronglu is Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and the royalist faction is Sun Quan of Eastern Wu." How about I recommend some books to you, once you master these books, it is equivalent to arming your mind, and fighting against those Cao Cao and Sun Quan will no longer be afraid of them. ”

Gong Ren was very happy and asked, "What book, so powerful?" Sun Wen smiled and said: "The reason why the Qing Dynasty is dark is that there is one of them, that is, the ideological imprisonment of intellectuals. Japan is no better than China, and the books of some famous thinkers and politicians have been translated here, and we are waiting for you and me to arm our minds. Gong Ren said anxiously: "Tell me the title of the book quickly, I must get these books tonight, even if I don't sleep all night, I have to eat them again." ”

Sun Wen smiled and said, "I know your temperament. Sleep well, and I'll make you a book list tomorrow morning. ”

Gong Ren asked again: "Speaking of reading, I still have something to ask Mr.?" Sun Wen smiled and said, "Let's be polite, you can say something if you have something!" ”
