In this wave of protests by students studying in Japan and returning to China, the student representatives of Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, and Qiu Jin were on opposite sides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Because Wang Jingwei's boss, the revolutionary Beichen, was worried that these revolutionary students in Japan would be wiped out by the Qing government after returning to China, Wang Jingwei asked Wang Jingwei to set up an organization called the "Maintenance Association" in Tokyo, and advised Qiu Jin and the radical international students to obey the overall situation, endure humiliation, give up the idea of returning to China, and continue to study hard.

After carefully interpreting the "Regulations" of the Japanese government, Song Jiaoren and others thought that the international students were misunderstood and had elements of nonsense, so they decided not to interfere.

Chen Wenqiang also did not agree with the actions of the international students, and was even very disappointed in their impetuousness and infighting. Of the more than 8,000 students who were studying in Japan at that time, it seemed that everyone was talking about revolution, but in reality, none of them were revolutionary. There are people who talk about it and don't do it everywhere, and there are only a few people who actually do it. And the revolution seems to have become an excuse for many international students to waste their studies. If you have nothing to learn and no skills, do you have to be a professional revolutionary?

"International students can be forgiven for misunderstanding! As for the alliance, it is unpleasant to go back on its word. Chen Wenqiang said in a deep voice: "This style of acting is also a warning to us, and we must be cautious and careful when dealing with it." ”

At first, it was the League that issued a warm appeal to the vast number of Qing students, calling on them to strike classes, return to China, and overthrow the Qing regime...... When everyone took action, they organized a "maintenance meeting" to ask everyone to endure humiliation and let everyone go to class to study.

People are very wonderful things, they can influence each other and infect each other. For example, Song Jiaoren, who was introduced by Chen Wenqiang, often mixed with the constitutionalists and factionalists. And Zhao Fengchang, the owner of Xiangxi Yin Hall, Zhang Jian, the last champion, and Liang Qichao of Japan are all masterpieces of a generation, and their knowledge and vision are also unique. After chatting and arguing and refuting, Song Jiaoren's thinking gradually became stable. Drifting away from the radicals.

The train runs fast because of the headband. The way the core leadership thinks and acts inevitably affects the whole community, and various guidance documents and situation analyses are issued to enable the members of the Revival Society to understand the intrinsic meaning and purpose of the organization's operations and actions. Strict organizational rules allow the Revival to operate as cohesively and harmoniously as possible.

Yang Dusheng was also regarded as an elite of that era, and there was no doubt about his knowledge and comprehension. If you look at the Alliance, and then look at the Renaissance, the gap is not just economic, but all-round. At first, the momentum was strong. But it was mixed and impure, and soon there were differences of opinion, and even internal strife. In addition, the League is still targeting the Jianghu Society, but the Revival Association already has its own base, has stable financial support, and has begun to form its own people and start to manufacture weapons and ammunition on its own.

"Wen Qiang. What do you think of Beichen? Yang Dusheng stared at Chen Wenqiang seriously and said, "I know that you have always been very accurate in seeing people. And I won't have anything to hide, right? ”

Chen Wenqiang blinked, grinned for a long time, and said, "Okay, just talk about my personal opinion, just for reference." I won't talk about anything else for the time being, just talk about the conversation with Beichen. His attitude seems to have such a flavor: if you want revolution, no other Chinese can, only me, I am the teacher of the revolution, the guide of the revolution. Whoever obeys me, please. It makes me feel bad, probably because of my personality! ”

Yang Dusheng thought carefully for a long time and nodded convincingly, "If you think about it, it's true." Although he didn't say it explicitly, he probably thought so in his heart. If you have such thinking, you must be tyrannical and domineering, and you can't listen to other people's opinions. This is evidenced by the fact that as soon as the alliance was established, it was nearly divided because of the dispute over the flag, and finally ended temporarily with Huang Keqiang giving in. ”

"Huh." Chen Wenqiang laughed, pointed at Yang Dusheng and said, "When I proposed to install people in the Alliance, you still objected!" How's that going, it's convenient now, right? ”

"It's not done properly." Yang Dusheng shook his head and retorted: "That's because you made your own secret faction, and you violated the rules of the organization." ”

"yes, but didn't I admit my mistake?" Chen Wenqiang didn't care, and said with a smile: "I think it's better for you to stay here for a while, it's a vacation, and I approve it on behalf of the organization." ”

"It's really beautiful here." Yang Dusheng sighed sincerely, "But isn't Wanning going to riot, aren't you busy?" I also have to go back to Japan, after all, it is the nominal headquarters, and someone has to be in charge. ”

"The Wanning incident has nothing to do with us." Chen Wenqiang sneered, "Three points will be self-sufficient, failure is certain." However, it's okay like this, no one tosses, how can we penetrate and develop to other places? ”

"That-" Yang Dusheng swiped his finger and asked worriedly, "If we are defeated by the government, it won't affect us, right?" ”

"What should be taken back, what should be cut off, all dealt with." Although Chen Wenqiang's tone was light, there was a hint of coldness, "The banner of the Revival Association will be beaten, but not a single member will be lost, and no clues will be left to the government." ”

Yang Dusheng sighed silently. In the final analysis, this is a use, a small number of old guns, a small amount of money as bait, and it also gives the banner and promise of the revival party to the militia that wants to start an incident. The Hui Party was either arrogant or wanted to prove its worth in order to get more money and material support, and became the vanguard of the revival to expand its influence.

"The big waves wash the sand, and you can see the real gold." Chen Wenqiang seemed to explain, and seemed to be talking to himself, "I am the leader of the gang, but I know the details of the party figures. He is said to be a hero, but he is too hard to do farm work, tired to do business, he wants to sleep when he sees a woman, and he wants to get drunk when he smells wine. They don't do anything, but they can eat and drink without lacking, what do you say they rely on? Walking thousands of homes at night and eating hundreds of households a day, it sounds good, but it is not a robbery of homes and houses, bullying the good. The surnamed Zheng has not yet started an incident, but he has already named himself the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, which is really ridiculous and contemptible. Armed with mostly ruffians, hooligans, and villains, I don't expect them to suddenly become the Yue family's army without committing any crimes. ”

Yang Dusheng smiled bitterly, "The party is not so unbearable, right? Some poor people joined in to resist the government's harsh government. ”

"That's why it's going to be a big wave." Chen Wenqiang suddenly laughed and patted Yang Dusheng's shoulder, "We must not only clean, but also transform, and we will not kill them all." ”

Yang Dusheng shook his head, suddenly squinted his eyes, pointed to the distance and said, "Look, where did the warship come from?" ”

Chen Wenqiang raised his eyes to look, then relaxed, and said, "It's okay, it's Li Zhun." Poor thing, driving that broken ship, he has to patrol the open sea, and he doesn't even have the money to hold an exhibition of the South China Sea Islands. I guess I'm here to fight the autumn wind, so you should avoid it first. ”

This guy is very familiar with everyone, and Li Zhun, the dignified commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, is so pitiful in his mouth. Seeing Chen Wenqiang wearing big pants, a short-sleeved Hawaiian shirt, and a straw hat Shi Shiran walking away, Yang Dusheng shook his head helplessly.

…………

In 1905, Li Zhun was summoned by the Empress Dowager Cixi and promoted to the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division. With the support of Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang, after Li Zhun returned to Guangdong, he reorganized the naval division, recruited strong men, eliminated old and weak soldiers, and strengthened training, so that the combat effectiveness of the Guangdong naval division was markedly improved. In addition, Li Zhunshang also led the patrol battalion and held heavy troops.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, the great powers of the South China Sea surrounded by each other and would provoke conflicts at any time and invade China's islands in the South China Sea. The Japanese ronin Reitz Ichiro once built ships, reservoirs and houses on Dongsha Island, and was later detained by the Guangdong Navy Division, and escorted out of the country after warning.

Subsequently, the French colonialists who ruled Annam (Vietnam) coveted the main islands of Xisha and Nansha in China, attempted to invade and occupy them, and sent a note to the Manchu government, saying that those islands had boundary monuments erected by the Gia Long Dynasty of Annam more than 100 years ago, and they were the territory of Annam.

After the Qing government reasoned against the so-called "note" of the French governor in Annam, Jurne, Li Zhun began to deploy patrols in the South China Sea with the approval of the imperial court. Sailing to the open sea, cruising Xisha, Dongsha, and Nansha is a very difficult task for the Guangdong sailors.

At that time, the largest warship of the Guangdong Naval Division, the "Fubo", was an old ship with sails and steam power, with a displacement of only 1,200 tons, and it was made of wooden ribs (the wood was purchased from Siam), the hull was unarmoured, and the artillery was scarce. Not to mention the others, which are only a few hundred tons.

It is no wonder that Chen Wenqiang said that he was a broken ship, and in the joint venture shipping company, the ocean cargo ship of more than 1,000 tons is estimated to be stronger than the "Fubo".

In addition to the hardships of the wind and waves, and the materials and personnel needed for the long voyage, Li Zhun also had to prepare for the opening of fire and battle with the French navy, and he had soldiers who dared to fight and sufficient ammunition; In addition, according to the Qing court's will to "recruit Chinese businessmen to undertake island affairs, and officials to protect and maintain them, and to protect sovereignty by emphasizing territory", as well as Li Zhun's plan to build a lighthouse in the Xisha Islands to facilitate navigation.

All aspects of the preparation work require a lot of financial support, and Yazhou is the starting point for the patrol of Xisha and the material hoarding field, and it is inevitable to deal with Chen Wenqiang.

What Chen Wenqiang appreciated was Li Zhun's cognition of territory and territorial waters, and he declaring that the offshore islands were Chinese territory, which many Chinese people did not attach importance to, but it could be used for future generations and benefit future generations. As for Li Zhun's plan to survey the islands and reefs, dig wells and build houses, and recruit fishermen to settle on the islands, raise livestock, and catch seafood in the course of his patrol in the South China Sea, Chen Wenqiang also very much agreed.

Moreover, in the process of interacting with Li Zhun, Chen Wenqiang found that Li Zhun was more life-saving, or more realistic. Such a person is destined not to die for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Threats and temptations, or if he sees the situation clearly, there is a high probability that he will surrender anyway. (To be continued.) )
