Chapter 45: The Revolution Begins

Although there is a suspicion of asylum, what Yu and Li said is actually very reasonable. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since the Westernization Movement, it is not uncommon for the Manchu court members and feudal officials to be open-minded, especially in the introduction of talents. At that time, although the outstanding young people who had studied abroad were often denounced as revolutionaries by conservatives, they were still recruited by various provinces and entrusted with important tasks, such as Wu Luzhen for Liangbi, Cai Yi for Li Jingxi, Yin Changheng for Zhao Erfeng, and so on.

The most famous is that when Cai Yi just graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, Li Jingxi started a talent battle with Zhao Erxun and Duanfang, and finally Li Jingxi won. After the negotiations between China and Japan, the Empress Dowager Cixi was full of praise for Song Jiaoren, a student studying in Japan who wrote the article "The Island Problem", and immediately wanted to recruit him into the court as an official, but Song categorically refused.

In this regard, Chen Wenqiang believes that it is true. He remembered a bad sniper's joke and thought it was appropriate. It is indeed deplorable that the revolutionary cause should be lost in a small way because of blind assassination.

Then there was the debate on the flag, which was also extremely intense, and in the case of high emotions, the republic of the five ethnic groups was somewhat out of place. However, Cai Yuanpei, Yang Dusheng and others supported Chen Wenqiang's opinion, and the reasons were also very strong. Because the republic of the five ethnic groups originated from the "great harmony of the five ethnic groups" of the constitutional movement in the late Qing Dynasty, with the purpose of advocating "the equality of the Han and Manchu people, and the integration of Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan as one great nation". Could it be that the revolutionaries were so narrow-minded that they also had to learn from the ethnic separation and discrimination of the Manchus at the beginning, which was not even as good as the current Manchu Qing Dynasty? Do you have to give the great powers an excuse and an opportunity to split the country?

The argument could not be settled, and even if others objected, there was no candidate, so they had to reserve their opinions, and the flag was set for the time being, and it was left for later resolution.

Since its establishment, the Chinese Revolutionary Revival Association has generally satisfied Chen Wenqiang. Although he was not the prime minister, the executive department he was responsible for was the most powerful organ, responsible for organizing revolutionary activities, and even acting as prime minister when he was in charge.

Actually, this is not a surprise. Whether it is in terms of financial resources, power, or even Chen Wenqiang's demonstrated strength in assassination, no one can replace him in the current revival society. The announcement of the decision to withdraw funds at the conference widened everyone's eyes, and this proved the importance of money in the revolution.

"Allocate 5,000 funds to establish the Shanghai headquarters, under the pseudonym Xingsheng Trading Company, and build at least three footholds within a month, respectively in the Chinese Territory, the Public Concession, and the French Concession."

"Allocate 3,000 funds to establish and expand the Tokyo branch."

"Withdraw 5,000 funds, set up a Nanyang branch within three months, and establish an organ publication."

"It is planned to draw 20,000 yuan within a year for the establishment of domestic provincial branches, and the first batch of branches are tentatively set up in Beijing, Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, and the Jiangsu branch will be issued by the Shanghai headquarters and will not be set up separately."

"It is planned to withdraw 50,000 yuan within a year for the member donation campaign, and the official position is subject to the county order, and the region is dominated by Qiongzhou, followed by the coast."

Money, it's really harmful, but it can also save people. Chen Wenqiang slowly stood up, smiled bitterly at Li Yapu and spread his hands.

Li Yapu gently exhaled a long breath, as if sighing generously, and as if relieved, "Manchu, the number of qi is running out." If it weren't for the traitors Zeng, Zuo, and Li, as well as the help of foreigners, it would have been over in the early morning. ”

Chen Wenqiang knew that Li Yapu was a descendant of the Taiping Army, and he didn't want to debate the mistakes of the Taiping Army with him, so he just smiled faintly and said: "In the future, this money will be spent like flowing water, in addition to the money earned by running an industry, I will also go to Nanyang to raise funds and strive to set up a bank." In addition, after supporting Xu Anbao to take the throne, he will strike another blow to those local merchants who are not dead in their hearts, and let them spit out the black money they earned. ”

"In addition to the big local merchants, those swallow nests can also be cleaned up, and they can also get some ill-gotten gains." Li Yapu suggested: "If you are in a hurry, you can also kidnap foreign devils to make money." ”

"It's not that time yet." Chen Wenqiang shook his head lightly and said, "When the operation of the factory meets the design standards, the benefits are also considerable. If a bank can be set up, it will be more abundant. ”

Li Yapu nodded, and then stared at Chen Wenqiang for a long time, just when Chen Wenqiang felt strange and wanted to speak, Li Yapu said in a deep voice: "Brother Zatang will definitely become the emperor in the future, and the brothers will also help you to ascend the throne when you go up the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

"Emperor?" Chen Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Do you look at me?" Besides, after the overthrow of the Manchus, there will be no more emperors. ”

"There is no emperor? That'sβ€”then who will rule the world? Li Yapu's tone was full of doubt.

Chen Wenqiang pondered the words and said slowly: "The overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the thousand-year-old imperial system have also been overthrown, although there will be no more emperors, but the leaders of the country still have to have them, but the power will be constrained and rely more on collective leadership." In this way, it will not be like the autocracy of the emperor, where a fool or a madman can become an emperor and decide the rise and fall of the country. ”

Li Yapu blinked his eyes, but he didn't understand everything, in his understanding, the leader of the country is the emperor, but he has a different title. So, he continued: "Then help the elder brother to become the leader of the country, and he is similar to the emperor, right?" ”

"Hehe, I'll talk about this later, I'll work hard." Chen Wenqiang nodded with a smile and said, "How is the situation on the Heyi Hall's side?" ”

Li Yapu paused and began to talk about the information obtained through various channels. Chen Wenqiang listened attentively, occasionally interjecting to ask for details.

"This newcomer to Heyitang looks suspicious." After listening to the information, Chen Wenqiang said contemplatively: "I didn't enter the hall, but I was respected, like a guest or an invited helper." ”

"Send a few brothers to try him?" Li Yapu said tentatively.

Chen Wenqiang thought about it, shook his head and said, "Don't waste time, I'll meet him in person." If I don't solve the Heyi Hall and don't put Xu Anbao on the throne, I won't feel at ease when I go to Nanyang. ”

"Then bring more people." Li Yapu reminded with concern: "That teahouse is not our territory after all. ”

Chen Wenqiang nodded gratefully, he naturally wouldn't take risks easily, even if he was very confident in his skills.

……………

The first meeting of the Revival Society was over, and although the resolutions were largely adopted, the work was not carried out immediately. However, the goals have been clarified, the governing bodies have been formed, the respective tasks have been determined, and the revival has finally started to work like a machine. Although it still needs to be run in and sustained motivation, the energy of this revolutionary group is no longer comparable to that of scattered sand.

Getting rid of narrow assassinations, dividing labor and working together, and doing what they can should be the greatest outcome of this meeting. The identities and backgrounds of Yu Dachun and Li Maozhen undoubtedly make it more possible to realize the theory of "tilting the Manchu Qing Dynasty with art".
