Chapter 50 4 Tribute to the Martyrs

After a while, Jiang Yuniang and the others walked out of the house, and the young student Xiaobai stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "Everyone is quiet. ”

The field was quiet, Shi Suo lit a torch, and stood behind Xiaobai, the flames shining on everyone's faces, looking red. "Everyone comes here tonight to learn an article first, which is written by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, "Tribute to the Seventy-two Martyrs of Huanghuagang", this manuscript is to commemorate several revolutionaries who died in the Guangzhou Uprising a few years ago, these people with lofty ideals, in order to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, sacrificed their lives, Mr. Sun wrote this memorial article, in order to inspire everyone's fighting spirit, by remembering the martyrs, to encourage everyone to continue to fight. According to our arrangement, Xiaoyue, you speak clearly, come and read it to everyone. ”

Satsuki walked up, holding a piece of paper in her hand, and the stone lock behind her leaned forward with a torch, illuminating the manuscript with the light of the flames, and Satsuki read aloud:

On May 15 of the first year of the Republic of Victoria, it was the anniversary of the martyrdom of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang.

Alack!

In the past, Jianyi stole Middle-earth, and the gods were angry.

Sigh my grandson, descend to the Taili, with pain and pain, which rank is powerful.

Racial righteousness, handsome and courageous, begging thieves and righteous teachers, fighting for a hundred Yue.

Watching the sons, the wind and thunder, the three-day bloody battle, the courage was devastated.

Haotian does not hang, suddenly dies, a cup of blood, annihilates me Mingyi.

Lonely yellow flowers, leaving the grass, not succeeding, burying hatred for eternity.

There is no pilot, Chang Shi Laizi, spring thunder, Wanhui prosperous.

In May, the Wuhan division moved, swinging white, and greatly boosted our brigade.

The sky is tired of Hood, it is to cut the Zuo, clear the Yu domain, and sweep away the fishy body.

On the day of Chengren, a week ago, the Republic of China was established, and it was shamed to recommend it.

Pious to the ancestors, Han Yi recovered, Jiujing is knowledgeable, and Shu is blind.

Alack! Feasting.

Xiao Yue's speech was clear, and the reading was subdued and catchy, but the whole manuscript was written in Chinese, and only half of the people in the empty field, knowledgeable students, teachers, and other intellectuals, and the rest of the workers, peasants, and small businessmen all seemed to understand it. When she finished reading, Professor Wan stood up and said, "Let me explain to you the meaning of the sacrifice." ”

At that moment, Professor Wan took the manuscript and explained the sacrificial text word by word, and combined with the explanation, he summarized the process of the Guangzhou Uprising that year, counted the preparations before the uprising, and the wonderful tragedy in the battle process. Professor Wan is a person who has learned a lot of money, and he explains these things in a clear and well-organized manner, and he comes together like a few treasures, which is very fascinating. The hundreds of people sitting on the field listened with relish and were drunk.

"In short," Professor Wan said with a wave of his fist: "Mr. Sun wrote this memorial essay not on a whim, he had a deep intention, and at present, the nation is in danger, and it is even more necessary for everyone to muster up the fighting spirit again, follow the footsteps of the martyrs, and move forward bravely." In this memorial text, in addition to the admiration and commemoration of the martyrs, it is more about the expectation of the future, and only by being more united and responding to Mr. Sun's call to 'continue the revolution' can we be worthy of these martyrs underground and do our best for the prosperity of the country. ”

When Professor Wan finished speaking, there was a warm applause in the audience. Jiang Yuniang stood up and walked to the front, and said unhurriedly: "Brothers and sisters, let me say a few words. ”

She has always spoken calmly and calmly, but she has a respectful style, and the audience quickly quieted down, Jiang Yuniang said: "We listened to Professor Wan's explanation, I am also very excited, I think that back then, those heroes of the Guangzhou Uprising, although the battle was defeated and blood was spilled, but the heroic spirit lasted forever. Why did those enthusiastic youths, righteous soldiers, teachers, journalists, workers and peasants who sacrificed their lives to save the country and the people resolutely participate in the uprising without hesitation as soon as they were called by the League? And indomitable and looking at death as home? The root cause of this is precisely because we have the great ambition of saving the country and put the country in front of our personal safety. That's why so many heroes have been born and illuminated future generations. Now, we can take over the banner of these martyrs and go to the battlefield again, I think we should lead the song and act generously. No matter what industry we do, in this chaotic autumn, we can work hand in hand and take the country's morality to heart, and our generation should be proud. ”

Jiang Yuniang's voice was not high, but the words were sonorous, like a hammer beating the ear drums of everyone on the field, and everyone on the field was excited.

"Everyone," Jiang Yuniang continued: "Let me inform you of one thing, this matter, related to the country's reputation, national rights and interests, is a major event for the people of our country. ”

Everyone knows that in the previous stage, Jiang Yuniang went to other places, but few people know what she did. Now, what is she going to announce?

I saw Jiang Yuniang take out a booklet from her arms, there were words on it, because it was dark night, everyone couldn't see clearly, Shi Suo walked up two steps, and took a picture with a torch, and only some people in the front row could see the words on the booklet, and a few people shouted, "Twenty-one." ”

"Yes, it's twenty-one." Jiang Yuniang said: "Everyone knows that this is an unequal treaty imposed on us by Japan, back then, the ancestor of the Beiyang warlords, Yuan Shikai, in order to achieve his goal of becoming emperor, signed 21 articles with Japan, this humiliating treaty has been like a mountain on the heads of the people of the whole country, so that our country's sovereignty and interests are subject to Japan's constraints. Originally, this was sad enough, but now, there is something to make everyone even more sad. ”

"What?" The crowd was indignant, and many people on the field couldn't help but stand up; for several years, every conscientious Chinese person has felt righteous indignation and shame for the "21 Articles"; now, is there a new humiliation that will befall the suffering Chinese?

Jiang Yuniang continued: "At present, there are frequent major events in the world, the end of the European melee, they are holding the Paris Peace Conference, to discuss post-war matters, these, originally did not do our business, but there is one case, Germany has now become a defeated country, the prestige of the past, all lost, then, some of the privileges it originally seized in our country Shandong, coerced us to submit to him, and gave him some benefits, everyone said, what should we do?" ”

"Take it back, then what else is there to say." "If a lost dog can bully us, then what's the matter." "Take back all sovereignty in Shandong."

"But some people don't think so." Jiang Yuniang raised the pamphlet in her hand again, "The Japanese have evil thoughts again, they are plotting to take all the interests of Germany in Shandong into their own hands, so that we can continue to treat them as cattle and horses." (To be continued.) )8
