Seizing opportunities in chaos has always been Chen Wenqiang's strength. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The current alliance has fallen into chaos, and the royalists have also made a fuss, attacking Beichen and attacking the alliance. The revolutionary party alliance, which had always been opposed by Chen Wenqiang, was taken seriously by him at this time.

Since Beichen put aside the Tokyo League and formed a separate Chinese Revolutionary Party in Nanyang, Chen Wenqiang was happy to pick up the shell of the League that was thrown away. After all, the League still has some Chinese students in Tokyo, many of whom graduated from Japanese military academies, and the League is still very well-known among the people.

United? Merger? Backdoor listing? Partial acquisition? Either way, Chen Wenqiang felt that it would increase the strength and influence of the Renaissance Association. They are all revolutionary parties, and it is very possible to seek common ground while reserving differences. Previously, he was not in favor of union, for various reasons. Now, it can be said that it is united, but with strength and situation, the revival will be completely dominant.

The boat sails forward with smoke in the river, and the mountains, river beaches, and towns along the river have a panoramic view, and the scenery is different. Sometimes, out of the canyon, the river loses its restraint and suddenly widens and the water becomes shallow, making a cheerful noise on the rocky beach. But after a turn, the mountain locked it up again, and restored some calm to it.

It took more than two months for Chen Wenqiang to arrange everything properly. From the construction of railways to the expansion of industries, we also set up factories and enterprises in partnership with others to develop minerals. For example, Changsha Yarn Factory, Yueyang Soap Factory, Pingxiang Coal Mine, etc., relying on the railways that have been repaired, the vitality of the industry has begun to burst out.

As for the formation and training of the new army, Chen Wenqiang did not have to do it himself, nor did he recommend an overly radical standard, but the middle- and lower-level officers were listed by the Huxiang branch of the Fuxing Association, and many members were installed with Chen Wenqiang. These members are all secretly developed. He has studied in military academies such as the Hubei Military Academy, the Wuhan Higher Academy, and the Army Surveying and Mapping Academy, and Chen Wenqiang, the assistant of the coaching office, went to select them, which is naturally justified and does not arouse suspicion.

Chen Wenqiang has talked with Cai Ye a few times, and has already found out a lot of information, knowing that although he is not a revolutionary party. But sympathetic to the revolution. Although Cai Yi's thinking is a little advanced, that is, "soldiers are not the party", Chen Wenqiang still thinks he is a suitable candidate. And in the military, Cai Ye is even more impeccable.

As for the standard stationed in Hengyang, the standard commander Jiang Ming was appointed by Zhang Zhidong. In terms of military talent, Jiang Mingjing, who studied in Japan, is naturally not a mediocre person, and the key is that Zhang Zhidong is more at ease with him. Chen Wenqiang didn't care too much about this. Although Jiang Mingjing is neither a revolutionary party nor sympathetic to the revolution. But there is still a long time, and the situation is constantly changing, so you can take your time. Even if he can't win it in the end, Chen Wenqiang is more confident that he can be solved by relying on the members of the Revival Association who infiltrated the ranks of the New Army.

For the revolution to succeed, it must be responded to by all sides. It doesn't matter if you are a revolutionary party, sympathetic to the revolution, speculative about the revolution, dissatisfied with reality and expecting to change with the revolution. Or maybe it's the situation. In short, the revolution needs the help and support of many people. It is impossible to expect everyone to be loyal and selfless.

Exploring people's psychology and grasping weaknesses and key points, Chen Wenqiang relied on this powerful ability, although it cannot be said to be invincible, but it is the key to his creation of such a big foundation and his ease in communication.

Footsteps sounded from behind him. Du Yuesheng walked over cautiously, and the eye-catching thing was that his left hand was wrapped in a gauze bandage, and he could faintly see oozing blood.

This is Chen Wenqiang's awe-inspiring and convincing means, except for the extremely deep heroes in the city, almost no one can hide anything from him. Du Yuesheng did a good job in the position of deputy railway patrol officer. But there is a problem - good gambling, and embezzlement of public funds. Chen Wenqiang took him down and dealt with him severely, in order to prove that he had repented of his mistakes, he chopped off a finger, which temporarily calmed Chen Wenqiang's anger.

"Big brother-" Du Yuesheng was still young in the end, although he was relatively sleek, but he was not yet sophisticated and mature, he walked up to the front and greeted him cautiously.

Chen Wenqiang glanced at him, his gaze couldn't say how stern, but Du Yuesheng still felt a tightness in his heart. Killing decisively, how many guys who violated the rules of the gang and harbored different intentions were ruthlessly dealt with, Du Yuesheng was very clear.

"Go back to Shanghai and do a good job under Mr. Li." Chen Wenqiang said lightly: "Elder Li is getting older, and he needs you juniors to share some work for him. ”

"Yes, brother understands." Du Yuesheng replied respectfully.

Chen Wenqiang looked at the shore in silence and did not speak for a long time. Just when Du Yuesheng was a little uneasy and wanted to speak, he said in a deep voice: "This time I let you go, because you didn't break the gang rule of death." You also know what I hate the most, what I can't tolerate the most, right? ”

"The big brother hates the traitor in the steak the most." Du Yuesheng replied very dryly: "There are also villains who give birth to different hearts. ”

"If you know, it's good." Chen Wenqiang's tone became stern, "You are ambitious and want to achieve great things, I appreciate it and am helping you." But I am very disappointed that you lack the self-control you deserve. ”

"My brother has failed the cultivation of his eldest brother, and now he knows that he is wrong." Du Yuesheng lowered his head, and he did have remorse.

Chen Wenqiang waved his hand and said: "If you can learn a lesson from this, there will be a chance to Tengda in the future." I'm afraid you'll not change your teachings—"

"Brother must change his past, otherwise if he doesn't work hard for his eldest brother, he will live in the world without face." Du Yuesheng swore an oath.

"Well, I'm sure you can do what you say." Chen Wenqiang softened his tone and said, "Please sir, recognize a few more words, read a few more books in your spare time, and sharpen your mind." In the future, this river and lake will change greatly, and we must be ready to adapt. ”

"Yes, the words of the eldest brother, the brothers all take it to heart." Du Yuesheng bowed in response.

"The time with me is too short, you have to follow Li Lao and learn from his calm and sophisticated." Chen Wenqiang's words turned into earnest teaching, "Of course, you can also send me a telegram and write a letter. Youth is capital, and there is still a chance to correct mistakes when you make mistakes......"

…………

Chen Wenqiang left Wuchang and walked the Yangtze River into the sea, firstly, at the invitation of Charlie Song's telegram, to go to Macao to meet with Huang Xing, the head of the League; second, there is a backlog of affairs in Qiongzhou, which needs to be dealt with by him; In the end, he also took refuge in Qiongzhou. The psychology of avoiding the influence of the political tide within the Qing court.

Before, the reform of the Qing court's official system was a struggle between you and me, but now although the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, the contradictions between Yixuan, Yuan Shikai and Qu Hongzhen and others have been completely clear, and the two sides are already incompatible, and they both want to go to each other and hurry up.

Objectively speaking. Qu Hongzhen is not a despicable villain, he was born in a family of cultivators and scholars, and many years of traditional moral and cultural education have cultivated his honest character of worrying about the country and caring for the people and the character of a scholar who "stands up for heaven and earth and asks for life for the people".

Moreover, Qu Hongzhen had been an official for many years, and after returning to his hometown for a few years of mourning, he did not entangle himself and returned to the court, and finally could only sell his old house in exchange for travel expenses. This was in the late Qing Dynasty of "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver". This is undoubtedly a clean official example and moral model comparable to Bao Zheng.

It is precisely because Qu Hongzhen is honest and self-controlled, in the officialdom logic of Yixuan and Yuan Shikai, he is a person who cannot be co-opted, and he is a hard and smelly stone that must be removed.

At that time, Yixuan was the chief minister of military aircraft, and Yuan Shikai was the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, and was in charge of the Beiyang New Army. And Qinggao's Qu Hongzhen is here. The real favor of the Empress Dowager Cixi was after the difficulty of Gengzi, and he drafted an edict for Cixi in Xi'an. As a result, he became an important minister of military aircraft. Qu Hongzhen, who knew that he was alone, in order to compete with the combination of Yi and Yuan, he introduced Cen Chunxuan as an Olympic aid.

Cen Chunxuan was born in a wealthy family, and his bearing is certainly extraordinary. But unlike other noble sons, Cen Chunxuan is courageous and knowledgeable, and he is very bold in doing things. At that time, the local governor was known as "North Yuan Nancen". Like Qu Hongzhen, Cen Chunxuan has no greed for things outside his body, such as money.

It is precisely because of similar experiences and interests that when Qu Hongzhen was engaged in a party struggle with Yixuan and others, he naturally attracted Cen Chunxuan through his operation. Cen Chunxuan went straight to the center of the imperial court and was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, which also marked the establishment of the Qu Cen Alliance.

The Qu Cen Alliance went on a fierce offensive, first dismissing Zhu Baokui, a waiter of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and then impeaching the Yixuan father and son for their misdeeds of accepting bribes and selling official positions, and demanded that they be investigated.

The incident exposed by Zhao Yushi was actually disclosed in a newspaper not long ago. In fact, when these two things are combined, it is easy to see the ins and outs--- Zhao Qilin is Qu Hongzhen's fellow villager, and Wang Kangnian, the chief writer of the "Beijing Daily", is Qu Hongzhen's protégé. Obviously, the Quzen Alliance has made another move.

Flies do not bite seamless eggs. The reason for this was that in April 1907, the imperial court appointed governors of the three eastern provinces. Among them, Xu Shichang was the governor, and Tang Shaoyi, Zhu Jiabao and Duan Zhigui were the governors, which was equivalent to the Yixuan and Yuan Shikai groups dividing the three eastern provinces into their spheres of influence. In this regard, Qu Hongzhen is of course not convinced.

There was no big problem with the others, the main thing was that Duan Zhigui's handle was caught. It turned out that this Duan Zhigui was born in the Beiyang Military Academy, and this person was good at greeting, so he was highly valued when Yuan Shikai was training the Beiyang New Army, and it is said that he also worshiped Yuan Shikai as his father-in-law, and it was obviously Yuan Shikai's private party. Once Yixiao's son, that is, Dai Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, came to Tianjin, and Yuan Shikai ordered Duan Zhigui to receive him.

Duan Zhigui understood that when he set up a banquet to catch Zai Zhen, he invited Yang Cuixi, a famous singer at that time, to help the fun. This Cuixi girl is very good at her beauty, and she was stunned and fascinated by Zai Zhen. Duan Zhigui is not a fool, so he bought Cui Xi for a lot of money afterwards, and gave her a valuable makeup dowry, and gave her beautiful dress to Zai Zhen. Zai Zhen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth at this time, so after he went back, he vigorously exaggerated Duan Zhigui in front of his father Yixuan, so that Duan Zhigui was promoted three levels in a row, and he became the acting governor of Heilongjiang.

After this matter was poked out, Yixuan and Yuan Shikai Group were very embarrassed, and finally the imperial court had to order a thorough investigation of the matter. As for Zai Zhen, he didn't dare to be happy in the limelight, so he had to watch the beauty he got leave him, and finally married a salt merchant.

Fortunately, the imperial court finally opened the net and ended the matter with "there is a reason for the incident, and there is no evidence". However, the result of "things happening for a reason" was that Zhao Qilin was dismissed because of light and gullibility; The result of "no evidence" was that Jae-jin was disgraced, and finally had to resign. As for Duan Zhigui, because the bribe giver had other problems, he was finally investigated and dismissed from his post and never used.

In the face of the Qucen Alliance's pressing step by step, Yixuan and Yuan Shikai decided to fight back. However, compared with Qu Cen's "indignation" style of scholarly methods, Yixuan's counterattack is much more sophisticated.

He first instructed Yang Shiqi to carefully search in the archives of the Military Aircraft Department, and turned out the three folds of Qu Hongzhen's Baoju Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's work, and Cen Chunxuan's Baoju Constitutionalist Zhang Jian (Weng Tongxiao's protégé). Later, Yixuan took these evidences to see the Empress Dowager Cixi. Yixuan's manipulation in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, although Qu Hongzhen and Cen Chunxuan were not immediately knocked down, was enough to make the Empress Dowager Cixi feel alert.

Just when the revolutionary army was gaining momentum in Guangxi and Yunnan, Yuan Shikai praised Cen Chunxuan in the Empress Dowager Cixi, and then recommended Cen Chunxuan to be the governor of Liangguang to settle those matters. The Empress Dowager Cixi said that Cen Chunxuan was reluctant to go to other places to serve, and seemed to be hesitant. At this time, Yuan Shikai said: "The king's destiny is still the destiny of heaven, and the courtiers would rather choose their own land." Chun Xuan is favored, especially not so. ”

So, Cen Chunxuan had no choice but to leave Beijing and was sent to Guangzhou. This time, Cen Chunxuan repeated his old trick again, after he arrived in Shanghai, he said that he was sick and wanted to wait in Shanghai to see if the situation could improve. But will things really turn the way he thinks, and will he have a chance to re-enter the center?

…………

Although I don't know how this political tide and party strife will end, Chen Wenqiang is optimistic about Yuan Shikai. Qu and Cen have a bad future, this is the general judgment he has reached.

Although this may not have a very direct impact on Chen Wenqiang, if Cen Chunxuan cannot go to Guangzhou to take up his post, the replacement of the governors of Guangxi and Guangxi will have a close relationship with the revolutionary situation in the southwest. Therefore, he wanted to rush to Guangzhou first, secure the position of the patrol police office, and find out the relevant information in advance. And if the revolutionary army wants to open the sea again, and wants to accept the supply of huge quantities of materials again, it also needs his planning and scheduling.

In this way, Chen Wenqiang went down the Yangtze River and changed ships in Shanghai without stopping, avoiding a meeting with Cen Chunxuan. Sailing into the sea, he returned to his southern roots, Qiongzhou.
