Chapter 53: Heroes
Yu Qiaqing has a graceful bearing, her slender eyes are as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and her posture on the chair feels like a lazy vulture, and she doesn't know when she will suddenly strike and choke her opponent's throat. Chai Dongliang has only one word for him: ruthless!
He is definitely a ruthless character picked out of the ruthless people, he was born in a small shop and ran a house, and after 20 years of hard work, he can thrive in Shanghai Tang, where dragons and snakes are mixed, whether it is the old man of the Qinggang Hongmen, the helmsman, or the Taipan and comprador of the foreign bank, the consul of the foreigner, and the director of the Ministry of Industry, who sees him must politely and respectfully say: Brother Ade!
If there was no thunderbolt method, Yu Qiaqing would definitely not have the status he has today!
Gao Chuguan, with a clear appearance, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling, seeing Chai Dongliang was very affectionate and polite, and his conversation was even more decent, every sentence can scratch people's itches, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. If he wasn't Li Yuanhong's envoy, Chai Dongliang really planned to recruit him to his subordinates, this kind of person was almost born with a strong affinity! Chai Dongliang's evaluation of him is also one word: deep!
People who mix in the political circles, if people can't see the depth, then the depth of the city is really unfathomable!
Wu Jintang, young and promising, has recently become the leader of the young generation of merchants in Anhui because of the trading of three-core sockets and the construction of Wuhu Industrial Park. Shouldering such a big responsibility, he is calm, and he has the calm temperament of Wu Xingzhou. Chai Dongliang's evaluation of him is also one word: steady!
These three people are all outstanding people in a million, but they are crushed to death by a man who is usually dressed and looks ordinary, just like the light of the stars, no matter how bright it is, it is impossible to compete with the bright moon!
Cloth clothes and shoes, round face and thick eyebrows, expressionless and unsmiling, at first glance it looks a little like Fang Qingyu, sitting casually on the chair, but it makes people feel that there is a tiger sitting in front of him, the pride exuded by this person is completely different from Fang Qingyu's gloom.
Tao Chengzhang, thirty-five years old, Zhejiang Huijiren, one of the founders of the Guangfuhui, in his early years, he had twice prepared to go to Beijing to assassinate Cixi unsuccessfully, and then went to Yueben alone to study military affairs, and Cai Yuanpei and others founded the Guangfuhui in Shanghai. He once founded the Chase School with Xu Xilin to cultivate the backbone of the revolutionary party. The Anqing Uprising failed, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin were killed, and Tao Chengzhang died in the world, and founded the "Nanyang Yuebao" in Singapore to continue to advocate revolution. The text of the Liberation Society has Zhang Taiyan and Wu has Tao Chengzhang. Moreover, the Restoration Society and the Communist Advancement Association were also hot, and the forces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River steadily overwhelmed the Alliance led by Sun Wen.
Sun Wen, Huang Xing, Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang, Tao Chengzhang, who is only 34 years old, has become one of the four giants of the revolutionary party!
Not only has the courage to stab Cixi alone, but also has a splendid article written with a large pen like a rafter, Tao Chengzhang has both civil and military qualifications, which can be called a genius!
After ten years of running for the revolution, he spared no effort, and he made great contributions to the recovery of Heshan Taojun!
After the success of the revolution, he did not take credit, and resigned from the post of governor of Zhejiang four times, without greed for power!
This world-shattering Restoration Society giant is dressed very simply, and there is not a single thing of value on his body. Chai Dongliang remembered the story told by Gao Ming, Jiao Dafeng and other revolutionary predecessors stole the Golden Buddha and deceived their families in order to raise funds for the uprising, and all methods were exhausted, and some of them even sounded a little unbearable, but they didn't care about personal gains and losses, and were willing to shed their blood, just to save this stormy old China!
With such a character and such qualifications, Chai Dongliang has to be in awe!
This kind of person will never be seen again in later generations, and will emerge in batches around the Xinhai year. Before Chai Dongliang crossed over, he didn't believe that there were real idealists in the world at all, and always felt that everyone did things because of personal interests.
As the saying goes, if you can't afford to be unprofitable, you can't afford to make a revolution with your head, and if you don't want to be a marquis, you must at least be like Shi Guangrong, and get a young and beautiful daughter-in-law. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the years of burning passion?
However, the wooden Tao Chengzhang in front of him is difficult for him to understand no matter what, but he has to admire it no matter what!
Scholars must be Hongyi! Tao Chengzhang's kind of bearing, although tens of millions of people are alone, is this kind of "scholar" tradition that originated from the sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty!
This kind of person is not Liu Bei and Cao Ying-style heroes! It is a unique product of China's 5,000-year-old literati style in this turbulent era!
Chai Dongliang's evaluation of Tao Chengzhang is two words: Haojie!
"Brother Huanqing, I toast you!" Gao Ming and Tao Chengzhang are old acquaintances, and they knew each other during the Anqing Uprising.
Tao Chengzhang nodded, didn't clink his glass politely, picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, turned over the glass to indicate that there was no trickle left.
Chai Dongliang also picked up his wine glass and said, "Senior, I will also toast you in the next glass!" β
Yu Qiaqing smiled playfully: "Dudu, you and Huanqing are both young people, and they are both a generation of heroes, how can a hero cherish each other?" At least three cups! β
Chai Dongliang laughed and said, "What Mr. Qia said is that you should drink three cups!" β
Tao Chengzhang smiled mune: "Change the big bowl!" Chai Dudu and I have three bowls! β
Chai Dongliang's frightened legs were weak and almost fell under the table, three bowls? You also think too highly of me, this bowl of half a catty of wine, three bowls of one and a half catties, after drinking these three bowls of forty-year-old Shi Guogong, then I am afraid that I will have to learn from Liu Ling, and dig a pit and bury it directly! Drunk to death!
With a wry smile: "Brother, three cups is already the limit!" Forgive me, seniors! β
Tao Chengzhang was not reluctant, he poured three glasses of wine directly, then took his mouth to the dry cup, three glasses down, and then turned the wine glass over, and there was not a drop left in the same drink!
Chai Dongliang also followed his example, drank three cups in one go, and choked and coughed.
The maid held the tea, and Chai Dongliang drank a few sips of herbal tea, which suppressed the surging wine and felt a little better.
Tao Chengzhang frowned, slapped Chai Dongliang's shoulder and said, "Men can't drink, how can they do it?" The general is majestic on all sides, and he can't even deal with three or five catties of old wine, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy? β
Chai Dongliang gasped when he slapped him, this guy's hand strength is too great!
After three rounds of drinking, Chai Dongliang asked: "Gong Huan is a revolutionary senior, and the younger generation has always been admired, and this time I will definitely have something to teach in Anhui!" β
Tao Chengzhang was not polite, wiped the residual wine on his mouth with a towel and said: "I want to ask the Governor of Chai Du to send a sailor to support us in fighting Nanjing!" β
Chai Dongliang nodded dryly and said: "No problem, half of the Yangtze River Sailors are in Wuchang to support Li Yuanhong Dudu, and the remaining six boats can go!" β
Tao Chengzhang nodded, and then said: "Chai Dudu, brother is telling the truth, when the sailor moves, it is Jinshan Yinhai, this brother is clear, but..."
The words seemed to be a little unspeakable, and Tao Chengzhang's black face was flushed.
Such a character actually blushed like a big girl, which made Chai Dongliang feel a little strange: "What do seniors have to say bluntly!" β
Tao Chengzhang hesitated for a long time before he squirmed and said: "It's just that the cost of this army has to be owed to Chai Dudu, and I can't pay it here for the time being!" I'll give you an IOU first, change it, change it and say it will be returned! β
This time it was Chai Dongliang's turn to blush, and he knocked on Li Yuanhong's 500,000 Long Yang, Tao Chengzhang must have known, and he couldn't take off the hat of a money fan! It is estimated that in the eyes of others, my eyes have round square holes!
"Needless to say, if you don't take Nanjing, you can't shake the Manchu court, you can use the warships, whether it's transporting troops or fire support, I'll give you an order to let the sailors obey your dispatch! I can solve the cost of sending troops myself, so I won't bother with it! Chai Dongliang said decisively.
Li Yuanhong and others, Chai Dongliang will definitely not be soft when he knocks on his bamboo pole, but for Tao Chengzhang, a senior who has been running for the revolution for ten years, Chai Dongliang still has seven points of respect in his heart!
Tao Chengzhang nodded heavily, poured a glass of wine and drank it all, and then said, "I drank this glass of wine!" β
Is there anyone else who expresses gratitude like this? Chai Dongliang has opened his eyes!
"Gong Huan, I want to ask, what are your plans after conquering Nanjing?" Chai Dongliang asked.
Tao Chengzhang said without thinking: "After taking Nanjing, I support Mr. Sun Wen to return to China to take charge!" β
Chai Dongliang was silent, he was a member of the Restoration Society!
Tao Chengzhang seemed to see through Chai Dongliang's thoughts: "Mr. Sun is a well-known person in the sea, and only he can command the heroes, I can't, Zhang Binglin can't, Huang Keqiang can't, and you Chai Guanghua can't either!" β
Chai Dongliang has enough self-knowledge, if he hadn't used Sun Wen's tiger skin as a banner, I'm afraid that he would have been slaughtered as soon as he arrived at the gate of Wuhu Bingbei Road with two duck eggs!
Sun Wen, this name has magical power!
Yu Qiaqing's heart was agitated, yesterday he received a secret telegram from Chen Yingshi, asking him to help pay attention to Tao Chengzhang's movements, but no one expected that the leader Tao Chengzhang was ready to support turned out to be Sun Wen, whom he had verbally criticized! Moreover, Tao Chengzhang's purpose in coming to Wuhu was to ask Chai Dongliang to dispatch sailors to help the League recover Nanjing!
Chen Yingshi, you have been a villain in vain!
Yu Qiaqing felt a greasy feeling in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that she needed to rely on the power of the Green Gang for a lot of shady businesses, she really wanted to kick Chen Yingshi, the governor of Yangmei, out of Shanghai!
"What about Mr. Sun after he returns to China? Don't forget, Yuan Shikai still has more than 100,000 male soldiers in his hands in the north! Yu Qiaqing reminded.
Tao Chengzhang smiled faintly and said: "Huang Keqiang and Zhang Binglin and I have passed the news on this matter, and everyone agrees that as long as Yuan Shikai recognizes the republican system and overthrows the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he will be elected as the president!" We have already sent someone to contact Yuan Shikai, although he doesn't know whether he can do it or not, but his words reveal that he is willing to participate in the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty! β
Gao Chuguan was stunned: "If Yuan Shikai is elected as the president, where will Sun Yat-sen and Li Songqing be?" β
Tao Chengzhang was stunned by the question, scratched his bald head and wondered: "By that time, the Republic of China has been established, Sun Wen and Li Yuanhong will form a party to run for election if they are willing to enter politics, and they will do whatever they want to do if they are not willing to enter politics!" Farming, working, teaching, and practicing medicine, what can't you do? After the Washington Reading War in the United States, they went home to farm, couldn't Sun Wen and Li Yuanhong go home? β
Gao Chuguan couldn't cry or laugh, how could this giant of the Restoration Society talk like a child! But after thinking about it, I feel normal, if he is not naΓ―ve, how can he rebel against the Qing Dynasty again and again, and every time it is seven or eight people with a dozen guns!
The two uprisings commanded by Sun Wen himself are like child's play, the eight uprisings commanded by Huang Xing are more like child's play, Tao Chengzhang, Xu Xilin, Xiong Chengji, which uprising organized by these people is not like a child pretending to be a family wine?
But such a child's play uprising destroyed the 260-year-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty!
Gao Ming said with a smile: "Then if the peace between the north and the south is successful, how will Duke Huan deal with himself?" β
Tao Chengzhang smiled honestly: "I'm going back to the countryside to teach, teach well!" Brother Guanghua, your eloquence is so good, I admire it tightly, you also run a school and teach with me, right? Teaching is good, and it is fun to choose the world's talents to teach? β
Chai Dongliang's chopsticks were holding a pigeon egg, and it fell on the table with a "click". Tao Chengzhang actually even arranged his future!
Teaching? It's a shame that he came up with it!
Tao Chengzhang, he is destined to be just a hero who fights the world, not a politician who can govern the world!
But Haojie, apparently, is a thousand times cuter than a politician!
Tao Chengzhang picked up a glass of wine and said: "Brother Guanghua, I hit you off at first sight, how about a brother?" β
I couldn't help but say that I handed the wine glass to Chai Dongliang: "We revolutionaries don't have to engage in the false tricks of burning incense and kowtowing, this glass of wine is a brother if you drink it!" β
With that, a glass of wine poured into his stomach again.
Chai Dongliang couldn't cry or laugh, but he really couldn't refute his face, so he had to drink it with him!
"Good brother! I'm the third oldest in the family, so you can call me the third brother! Tao Chengzhang slapped Chai Dongliang on the shoulder again!
Chai Dongliang felt a hot pain in his shoulder, this way of expressing his feelings was really unbearable!
However, this person is so cute and respectable!
Suddenly, Chai Dongliang remembered something, and he struck a fierce blow, and his eyes narrowed into a needle, his freshly baked third brother was later assassinated!

I asked for a recommendation ticket!
In addition, I recommend a good book from a friend, "Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms, I Am the Master"! A novel by a friend, a very good management of the Three Kingdoms, saved a lot of regrets of Shu Han under Liu Bei's rule, and made Shu Han more powerful.
