Chapter 44: Anti-British Electric

Hearing the man's shout, the students who were about to disperse gathered again and stopped a man who was running in this direction. Huang Xing recognized the man as Liu Kuiyi, who was also a member of the League and one of the founders of the Communist Association, and because his attitude wandered between the two organizations, he was also the liaison recognized by both organizations.

Liu Kuiyi took a copy of the telegram and read it aloud to everyone:

"At the beginning of the revolution, the state affairs were complicated, and our revolutionary army had no intention of challenging the foreign powers, but also wanted to protect the interests of various countries in China. This time, the British are rambling around, which really damages the diplomatic relations between the two countries! If I take a step back, he will take a step forward, and he will think that I have no one in China? In the past, the two countries used gunboats to forcibly import opium into China, poisoning the body and spirit of our people, and destroying the will and courage of our people......

Huang Xing walked over and listened to a few words, and couldn't help frowning, it turned out that the telegram was actually a criticism of the British consul in Jiujiang, and incidentally also criticized the British policy toward China, and the reason was that the British concession in Jiujiang contained two fugitives from the revolutionary army and refused to hand them over, which became evidence of the British government's support for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

How can the great powers that invaded and plundered China be more than one country? If you think about it, France, Japan, Russia, Germany, and even the United States should all be responsible for China's crisis, so why do they focus on one Britain?

This electricity is sent strangely.

Britain, the real hegemon of this era, its territory can be seen in the corner of the sun, the power of the empire on which the sun never sets is indisgraceful, even France and Germany have to look at Britain's face and act, what qualifications does the commander-in-chief of a mere republican army have to challenge Britain?

"Ignorance, arrogance." Huang Xing sighed, but he didn't know who he was talking about, and when he saw Liu Hua finish reading the power, he hurriedly pulled him over, and the two hurriedly walked back to the courtyard and closed the door tightly.

"Down with the British!"

"Take back the Jiujiang Concession!"

The international students outside excitedly shouted slogans, shouting all the way, and after a while, half of Tokyo knew that the British had touched their noses in China.

……

"At the beginning of the dull beginning, that 'Commander-in-Chief Zhao' is powering up again!" As soon as he entered the house, Huang Xing complained to Song Jiaoren, who was presiding over the meeting.

"What do you mean?" Song Jiaoren asked.

Huang Xing handed over the transcript of the telegram, Song Jiaoren took it, stood up, and said in surprise: "What? He, he even protested to the British government? Why is he? The fact that none of the Great Powers had yet recognized the Revolutionary Army as a belligerent group annoyed the British government would only make the revolution more difficult. The scourge of Gengzi is vivid, how can anyone forget it so quickly? At present, the most feared thing in the revolutionary cause is the intervention of the foreign powers. ”

Huang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Why? In my opinion, he really regarded himself as a revolutionary leader in Central China. ”

Song Jiaoren was so anxious that he complained: "Keqiang, now is not the time to say cool things!" This Zhao Bei, does he understand what 'diplomatic protest' is? Is he a member of the Liberation Society? On the telegram the day before yesterday, he supported the Manchu official Yuan Shikai as the commander of the republic, we can think that he was trying to win over the constitutionalists in the Qing court, which can be regarded as a revolutionary strategy, but what does this telegram mean now? What the hell is he trying to do? What exactly do they want to do? China has been weak for a long time, the revolution has just begun, the revolutionary force is weak, and it must not provoke the great powers. A few days ago, we were still discussing whether to bring this person into our alliance, but now, I think we should be cautious. What kind of person is this person? ”

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Huang Xing spread his hands and glanced at the people in the room. "Since I heard the news of the success of the Anqing Uprising, the members of the Liberation Society in Tokyo immediately packed up and returned to China to participate in the revolution. Look at us again, this meeting has been held since the day before yesterday, but there is not even a person with an idea. Although Mr. Sun is not here, we can't wait like this, if Mr. Sun is here, he will definitely lead us to kill us back as soon as possible. ”

Everyone was silent, during this period of time, Mr. Sun was in Siam (Thailand) to form a branch of the Alliance, his whereabouts were uncertain, everyone took a telegram two days ago, but they could not be contacted, so the meeting in the past two days did not form a unified opinion on how the League should take advantage of the current good situation, the moderate faction in view of the successive uprisings in recent years have failed, so it is recommended to wait and see what happens, while the radicals advocate returning to China immediately, to Guangdong, Zhejiang to instigate the Hui Party and the new army to respond to the uprising, as for the Communist Association, There are even some people who have left Japan quietly, and they don't know where they are going.

Liu Kuiyi said: "No matter what you think, I can't stay anyway, I have asked someone to buy the ferry ticket, first to Hong Kong, and then to Guangdong, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangsu New Army all anyway, the southeast half of the Qing court is terrified, it is a good time for the revolution, once the opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to find new opportunities." ”

"I'll go back too!"

"I'm from the Communist Association, I didn't leave two days ago, and now I regret it very much. I also walked with Brother Liu. ”

……

Seeing the raging crowd in the room, Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing exchanged glances, and then whispered a few words.

Song Jiaoren raised his hand, signaled everyone to be restless, and said, "Comrades, everyone be quiet. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was in mourning, the New Army was revolting one after another, and the revolutionary situation was very good, so of course we could not sit back and wait for the opportunity to fade. Now, in my capacity as acting chief of affairs, I have made the following decisions: First, Keqiang and the comrades who are willing to return to China should immediately pack up and gather volunteers among the overseas students, and then Keqiang will lead them to return to China to participate in the revolution; in view of the fact that Anhui and Jiangxi are already in the hands of the rebel army, we should pay attention to the areas of Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang, especially the Guangdong New Army, which is the main force against the Qing Dynasty, and must be grasped in our hands; second, we should also send some people to the northeast to instigate the green forest armed forces there, where our alliance also has a foundationIn addition, the comrades in Sichuan must also act as soon as possible to respond to the uprising in the southeast, and the comrades in the new army in Fujian must also find a way to get in touch; Second, the comrades who did not want to return to China stayed in Tokyo, and I also stayed in Japan, responsible for liaising with comrades from the north and the south, and meeting with the envoys of various countries in Japan, so as to win a good external space for the revolution, try to prevent the foreign powers from getting involved in the revolution, and strive for the great powers to recognize the revolutionary army as a belligerent group at an early date, and stop the loan negotiations with the Manchu court. I will first go to the British Embassy to explain to the British Government about the Jiujiang telegram and seek their understanding. ”

"The Jiujiang electrification is a matter of the Restoration Society, what does it have to do with our Alliance? Why should we wipe their butts? That Zhao Beixing may be a madman, why should we pay attention to the words of a madman? He said that if he was anti-British, he was anti-British? I really think of myself as a green onion. Someone said.

"Nope! Now the national revolution is a whole, and the business of the Liberation Society is the business of the League! Song Jiaoren corrected without hesitation, paused, and added: "At this time, any behavior of splitting the revolutionary camp is short-sighted and stupid!" Revolution requires the unity of all forces! ”
