In history, the matter of the Liberation Society's secession from the Alliance was also staged in the history of Chen Ke's work. And the attitude of the Liberation Society is far more resolute than in history. This is the impact of the rise of the BJP. In this new time and space, not only Chen Ke regarded the Liberation Association as a semi-partner, but after experiencing the cooperation in Chizhou, the Liberation Association also regarded the People's Party as a potential main object of cooperation.

Originally, the Restoration Society paid more attention to military operations than the Alliance, and the Liberation Society took over Chizhou and retreated from Chizhou, which seemed to have no benefits. In fact, in the past few months at the helm of Chizhou, the Restoration Society has finally had enough opportunities to practice practically. How a revolutionary party should run a city has always been the most lacking knowledge of the revolutionary party. In addition to their inexperience, they lack the mentality of the ruling party.

In this regard, the People's Party led by Chen Ke does not have this problem at all, and it is not only Chen Ke himself who has received systematic knowledge of the formation of a government system. From the very beginning, the People's Party had Shang Yuan as the county magistrate of Fengtai County, and everyone knew in their hearts that they wanted to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, but the identity of this county magistrate allowed the People's Party to always exist in the form of local power. The BJP, which was supposed to be an "rebel", had ample experience in "running a revolutionary regime." This is also an important reason why the BJP will soon be able to call the shots with a "government" mentality in the newly liberated areas. The BJP has always been trained by the revolutionary regime.

The Chizhou experience also gave the Restoration Society the opportunity to train in this way, and since the Liberation Society was an orderly retreat, there was no loss of personnel. After being forced to withdraw from Chizhou, the Guangfuhui also had frustration in his heart, but it did not have the blow of the defeat of the Yue Wanghui.

When I first returned to Anhui, the Liberation Society had to go underground to work. Thanks to the poor detective ability of the Manchus, the Liberation Society suffered no loss of personnel. During the "incubation" period, the Restoration Society was not idle. The treasury silver brought back from Chizhou effectively activated the operation capacity of the Liberation Society, and the captured guns from Chizhou increased the military strength of the Liberation Society. More importantly, the Liberation Society has gained confidence.

Historically, in 1907, the Liberation Society launched an uprising with the mentality of breaking the kettle. As a result, except for the assassination of Enming, all other actions were unsuccessful. With the existence of the People's Party, the despair in the heart of the Liberation Society was swept away. Not only did they not start an uprising, as they did in history, but they calmed down and began to expand their influence and run the organization of the Liberation Society. Although they don't say it, the main cadres of the Liberation Association have an idea in their hearts that this kind of thing in Chizhou may not happen for the second time.

After the People's Party annihilated Li Yuanhong's troops and recaptured Anqing, the world shook. Notices calling the Manchus "Manchu gangs" and Cixi "Manchu bandit female bandits" were not only posted in Beijing, but were posted in major cities of various scales. The Manchu officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all terrified. All major cities have shrunk their forces to guard against a sneak attack by the People's Party. Under these circumstances, the activities of the Liberation Society were immediately enlivened.

As a landmark event, Chase School has resumed. The Restoration Society once announced its existence after the capture of Chizhou, and in order to gather forces to go to Chizhou, they temporarily closed the Chase School. The prefect of Shaoxing, Guifu Manchu, also pretended to seal the Datong School.

After the People's Party recaptured Anqing, more than a dozen members of the Restoration Society who were very sacrificial volunteered to tear off the seal and re-stationed in the Chase School. For such a thing, Shaoxing prefect Guifu has a completely "blind" attitude. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, everyone from the officials down to the people shared a common understanding of the inevitability of the fall of the Manchu regime. So even if "the chaotic party is so rampant", Guifu himself still has no reaction. He reported this to the Hangzhou Governor Yamen, although Hangzhou Governor Zeng Yun is a banner man like Guifu, but Zeng Yun is very smart. Since Guifu himself is unwilling to deal with the Restoration Society, where is Zeng Yun willing to carry the black cauldron. He wrote three words on the letter: "Got it." Then let someone bring it back to Guifu. Guifu immediately knew these three words as soon as he saw them. And so he "knew".

The reason for the reopening of the Datong School is actually mainly to cover the real meeting place of the Restoration Society, the Tongyi School in East Lake, Shaoxing.

The East Lake Tongyi School is a school run by the Shaoxing squire Tao Jun Xuanxing, who in 1901 he donated the Donghu Academy to the East Lake Tongyi School. The academy employs "six Chinese and foreign teachers, the teaching method is mainly based on the Five Classics and Four Books, supplemented by historical records and Chinese and foreign politics and art, and the courses of arithmetic, physics and foreign Chinese languages and writings", also known as "general arts". Tao Chengzhang, Shou Xiaotian, He Langxian, Zhou Zuoren and others have taught in the school. Dow expanded the school, built a dormitory and built a library building, and donated all kinds of books from the family's collection. All the books of the Nine Classics and the Nine Passages are coarse, and the newly translated books of the East and the West and the tools of the Atlas and Instruments are purchased for students to read. For office documents and to give students graduation diplomas in the future, a wooden drawing is engraved. The charter of the school was drafted by Cai Yuanpei.

Now the school is "closed", and it is not until the cadres of the Liberation Society use this place as a gathering place that it becomes lively. Tao Junxuan, the founder of the school, was more supportive of the revolution, and although he himself was categorically unwilling to join the revolutionary party, he was willing to lend the school to the revolutionary party. Tao Junxuan's attitude towards the revolution is not known.

Xu Xilin came back relatively late, and after he came back from Chizhou, he was ordered by Tao Chengzhang to go to Jinhua to contact the training party, and this time he came back with the local leader of the party in Jinhua. As soon as I entered the Tongyi School, I only saw some other cadres of the Liberation Society, but Tao Chengzhang and others were not there. After inquiry, I learned that Tao Chengzhang and Qiu Jin accompanied Zhang Taiyan to take a walk on the edge of East Lake.

At this time, the three of them were actually in the mood to take a walk, Xu Xilin knew that there must be something strange in it, and was about to look for the three of them, but Chen Boping, who had worked with Xu Xilin in Anqing, stopped Xu Xilin. "Mr. Xu, I have been reading Mr. Chen Ke's book recently, and I don't know if Mr. Xu is free."

Since the attack on Chizhou, Chen Ke's book has become a daily must-read for the cadres of the Restoration Society. The Liberation Society believed that the secret of the success of the BJP could be found in this set of books, and all the cadres were concentrating on studying it. This set of books originally had a small circulation, but the only good thing was that there were many volumes, so you could exchange them. When Xu Xilin was in Jinhua, he even met a cadre of the Restoration Society who came from Chuzhou to ask for an exchange of different fascicles with him.

If Xu Xilin could explain to Chen Boping on weekdays, but he was in a hurry to tell Tao Chengzhang about Jinhua now, he asked Chen Boping to talk about it in the evening, and then went out in a hurry.

The location of the East Lake in Shaoxing was originally a bluestone mountain, and Qin Shi Huang had stopped here to drink horses when he toured the east, so it was called the Qijiao Mountain. After the Han Dynasty, the mountain became a stone quarry in Shaoxing, after thousands of years of chiseling through the axe, and the special method of taking stones, moved away half of the green mountain, and formed a cliff of more than 50 meters high. Laborers also generally go deeper into the ground more than 20 meters, some even forty or fifty meters, and after a long time, a clear water pond with a length of more than 200 meters and a width of about 80 meters has been formed. Tao Junxuan, the founder of Tongyi School, had a unique vision, using the quarry to build a fence and slightly widen the water surface, so that the East Lake with mountains and rivers reflecting each other, became a large bonsai of ingenious landscapes.

Xu Xilin knew that if Tao Chengzhang chatted, he was afraid that he would go to Xiachuan Bridge, and sure enough, he saw Tao Chengzhang and the three of them standing by the bridge from a distance. Tao Chengzhang saw Xu Xilin coming, and said with a smile: "We are talking about Bosun, and Bosun has arrived." ”

After everyone greeted the ceremony, Zhang Taiyan also smiled and said: "Seeing that Bosun is so anxious, I think there is good news." ”

Xu Xilin said: "There are far more leaders of the party who have joined us in Jinhua than I thought, and I can't keep busy. I want Han Qing to transfer someone over to help. ”

Listening to Xu Xilin's words, Tao Chengzhang smiled: "But I'm not in a hurry." ”

Tao Chengzhang was the most radical in Pingsuri, and he was always afraid of the slightest delay in launching a revolutionary uprising, and when he said "but not in a hurry" from his mouth, Xu Xilin even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Bosun, I have just returned from Nanjing, and there will be a big war between the People's Party and the Manchus in the near future. As long as the People's Party wins, we will first take Shaoxing, then Hangzhou, and finally march to Nanjing. At that time, there was the People's Party in Jiangbei, and there was our Restoration Society in Jiangnan. The two sides echoed each other, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was doomed. Tao Chengzhang's voice was extremely enthusiastic, not at all "but not in a hurry".

"Oh? But when. Xu Xilin was also excited.

"I don't know when. Now Zhang Xun, the governor of Jiangnan, is taking his defense army to monitor the ninth town of the Jiangnan New Army. For fear of a rebellion in the Ninth Town. I think they are like this, even if they cross the river, they will collapse at the touch of a button. Our comrades in the Ninth Town said that this time not only the Ninth Town, but also the Jiangnan Admiral, the Jiangbei Admiral, the Beiyang New Army, and the Hubei New Army will jointly attack Anhui. It is even said that the Sichuan New Army and the Henan New Army will also participate in the war. It seems to be a big battle. Speaking of the siege that the People's Party was about to face from all sides, Tao Chengzhang did not feel nervous at all. Ever since he learned that the People's Party had completely annihilated the Le Yuanhong Division, he had extreme confidence in the fighting power of the People's Party.

Qiu Jin also smiled after hearing this: "Wen Qing is going to work hard. ”

Zhang Taiyan had never seen Chen Ke, and he was a little surprised to see that these three comrades had so much confidence in Chen Ke. "Is Mr. Chen Ke really less than 30 years old?"

"Although Wen Qing is young, he is a hero. In fact, just looking at Wen Qing's appearance, it is not unusual to say that he has just reached the age of 20. Qiu Jin said with a smile.

Tao Chengzhang nodded, "Wen Qing is not only a hero, I think he is very emperorly." ”

These words made the other three people change their faces, the purpose of the Restoration Society is to overthrow the Manchu regime, and it is possible that the Restoration Society actually prefers the imperial system when it comes to whether China will be a republic or an imperial system in the future. The meaning of Tao Chengzhang's words is very profound.

Xu Xilin asked tentatively, "Mr. Tao, are you ......?"

Tao Chengzhang waved his hand, "Some things are still too early to say, but we don't want to compete with the People's Party in Jiangbei." King Yue will not be able to measure himself and be defeated in Anqing. There is no need for the Liberation Society to follow their example. ”

Zhang Taiyan was very puzzled by Tao Chengzhang's words, Tao Chengzhang had a fierce temperament, and his style was even a little domineering, and Tao Chengzhang had always regarded himself as a revolutionary predecessor, if the backward revolutionaries dared to clash with Tao Chengzhang in stealing the limelight, Tao Chengzhang would not give face. I didn't expect this "revolutionary senior" to have times when he was soft.

Tao Chengzhang saw that everyone might have misunderstood what he meant, and he explained: "Wen Qing knows how to measure, and he will never be the same as those people in the Alliance. As long as we don't compete in the affairs of Jiangbei, we can definitely coexist. ”

The Restoration Society knew the true strength of the People's Party, and Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin both nodded yes.

Zhang Taiyan is a literati who doesn't understand military affairs, and seeing that these people have the same attitude towards organizing the army, he can't intervene. But Zhang Taiyan has his own thoughts about Chen Ke's revolutionary thoughts, "Everyone, I have read Chen Ke's book, which is refreshing. But I think he said that he only said half of what he said, regardless of the past, and it made people feel that it was not fun. ”

This is not just Zhang Taiyan's view, but now that the People's Party has risen strongly, those who have read Chen Ke's "Chinese Cultural Inheritance and the Rise of Materialism" look at China's past from a "materialist" perspective, and it is indeed refreshing. But knowing that the purpose of the past is to change the fate of the present, how to change the world today, Chen Ke did not say a word. Many revolutionaries want to see Chen Ke point out a new path, so that they can see the true direction of China if they don't know where the future lies.

Tao Chengzhang looked at the comrades with a sense of kinship, and he smiled: "Although Wen Qing didn't write, he really did it in Anhui, but he hid it very much, and he would never take out such good things for everyone to see." ”

This cannot be said to have wronged Chen Ke, Chen Ke really did not mean to show the "Anthology" copied from Grandpa Mao to the revolutionaries of this era. The People's Party's own internal construction and educational materials are not disseminated to the outside world, and although they are not strictly guarded, they have no intention of making them public. The fact that the People's Party has been successful has in itself proved the advanced nature of the People's Party's own ideology and system. Other revolutionaries of this era were extremely curious and envious of the "successology" of the People's Party.

When Zhang Taiyan heard this, his face was a little unsightly. Tao Chengzhang hurriedly said: "Mr. Taiyan, I'm joking. Wen Qing helped us a lot, and on the way back from Chizhou, the two revolutionary comrades he specially sent could be said to have taught each other. Mr. Taiyan, don't misunderstand. ”

On the way to Anhui from Chizhou, Lu Zhengping and He Jinwu of the People's Party commanded the retreat. Although the Liberation Society also conducts military training, it is all low-level training such as queues, and it does not know anything about how to effectively arrange tactics and other deeper things. Lu Zhengping's extremely scientific and effective command opened the eyes of these people, and they really felt like they were suddenly opened. Tao Chengzhang had already convinced Chen Ke in the first Anqing Campaign, but after this retreat, he was completely convinced of the strength of the People's Party.

While he was talking, a cadre from the Restoration Society hurriedly came over, "Mr. Tao, Mr. Huang Xing and Mr. Song Jiaoren of the Alliance have come to ask for a meeting. After hearing this, the main cadres of the Liberation Society all sank their faces.

Zhang Taiyan couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing here?" ”

"These two said they had something important to discuss."

Huang Xing is a doer in the League, Song Jiaoren is very capable of party affairs, Sun Yat-sen is neither good at party operation nor good at armed struggle, but he has the ability to "feel" the situation. Sun Yat-sen has a very strong sense of the direction of change in the situation. He could feel "who was Sun Yat-sen's friend and who was Sun Yat-sen's enemy".

Historically, the upsurge of the uprising in 1907 was led by the Liberation Society, and now it is the People's Party that stands on the cusp of armed struggle. Historically, the Yue Wang Hui began another wave of uprisings in 1908, and now the Yue Wang Society, as a member of the League, has completely ended up and has to take refuge under the banner of the People's Party.

The uprising of 1907-1908 failed in the old time, and the League gradually became the core force of the revolution. In any case, the headquarters of the League in Japan remained undamaged. In many competitions, it is not necessarily the person who makes the greatest sacrifice who wins, but the last person who can stand on the stage at the curtain call becomes the winner.

The current situation has changed greatly, and all the forces that the League can still contact have been defeated, but the People's Party, which has nothing to do with the League, has risen strongly, and although the Liberation Society of the League has not been able to get Chizhou, it has not suffered any casualties. On the contrary, it was the Alliance, after the loss of the Yue Wang Society, coupled with the success of the People's Party and the growth of the Guangfu Society, their influence was declining all the way.

Sun Yat-sen judged the situation and first wrote to Chen Ke, inviting Chen Ke to join the League. As a person who can see clearly where his own interests lie, Sun Yat-sen did not think that the People's Party would really have much interest in joining the League, but Sun Yat-sen must use the success of the People's Party to expand his influence, and the purpose of his letter is only a stepping stone. Without waiting for Chen Ke to reply, Sun Yat-sen sent Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren back to China together.

When Tao Chengzhang and the others returned to the Tongyi School, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren had been waiting for a while. Huang Xing's temperament was rather impatient, and he was already a little impatient after waiting for such a while. Song Jiaoren sat there steadily, not caring if he was given a cold reception.

Seeing Tao Chengzhang and others coming in, Song Jiaoren enthusiastically got up and stepped forward, "Huanqing, long time no see." "If you don't know, you can't imagine that the two sides have officially parted ways not long ago.

Everyone is an acquaintance, so it's not so polite. After the guests were seated, Tao Chengzhang asked, "What do you two come to see here?" ”

Song Jiaoren looked at Tao Chengzhang sincerely, "Huanqing, I don't think it's appropriate for the Restoration Society to break away from the Alliance. If the revolutionary ideals are different, I think we can discuss openly and honestly, because the enemy is at present, and everything that is in harmony will be won, and if it is divided, it will be defeated. ”

Although Tao Chengzhang didn't have much dissatisfaction with Song Jiaoren, he was very impatient with the Alliance for a long time, and he smiled: "Some things are not things that have different ideas, and I really can't bear the behavior of many people in the Alliance." At the time of the national crisis, everyone did their best to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, whether in Japan or in Shanghai, I don't know how much revolutionary things were done, but I was keen to visit the kilns and get women. Is this what a revolution looks like? ”

Song Jiaoren knew that Tao Chengzhang was not playing on the topic, and the Restoration Society was mostly from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his personal ethics were much better than those of the Alliance. Tao Chengzhang said Shanghai, referring to Chen Qimei, as for Japan, there are many international students in the alliance, and everyone is finally free from the control of their families, and the indulgence of young people is by no means one or two people.

"These things are stubble." Song Jiaoren had to argue weakly.

Tao Chengzhang sneered, "Last? If you have the money and the time, why not use it for the revolution? This was the case before the revolution, but what will happen after the revolution succeeds? ”

Huang Xing has never been scolded by anyone pointing at his nose, Tao Chengzhang said this, Huang Xingqi's face changed.

Tao Chengzhang glanced at Huang Xing, "If you say that the joint force wins." When King Yue and I were on both sides of the Yangtze River, we guarded Chizhou, Chizhou City was small, and Anqing City was large. On the contrary, King Yue will come to our Chizhou all day long to ask for money and things. On the other hand, the People's Party, and no one helped him, but it was able to succeed. Brother, I have also seen people from the People's Party, Chairman Chen Ke is in charge of such a big place in Anhui, and his clothes are the same as those of ordinary soldiers, and Chen Ke eats whatever the soldiers eat. I never saw him different, and I never saw Chen Ke ask anyone for anything. Or maybe this ethics and independence are not the last thing at all, but the main cause. ”

After hearing this, not only Huang Xing, but also Song Jiaoren's face changed. The meaning of Tao Chengzhang's words is very clear, the Restoration Society will never cooperate with the Alliance again. Not only that, but the Restoration Society has completely denied the positive meaning of the Alliance.
