On the highway from Guangzhou to Huizhou, two jeeps are in front, followed by three trucks, the back of which is covered with canvas. Such a team is very eye-catching, even the most fashionable people, have not yet come out of the novelty of bicycles, and there are already quite a few trucks on the gray road.

Sitting in the second jeep, Lu Liang was thinking about something. He was thinking about the political model that should be adopted after the success of the uprising, and the imperial system was not considered, although this model could maximize the role of the steel base, but the consequences were endless. Lu Liang believes that the imperial system actually represents China's thousands of years of feudal inheritance, and if you want to set off a thorough revolutionary movement in the country, the first point is to overthrow the imperial system, which is the foundation for the change of the thinking of the Chinese people. Of course, a democratic system like the United States is not suitable, at this stage it is necessary to concentrate all the forces of the country, and an inefficient democratic system can only let itself fall into endless political squabbling, and Lu Liang and the steel base did not come to this era to play political games. Therefore, the political system he needs is a dictatorship in the guise of democracy. However, this is only his vision, and it will take some work to achieve it.

On the evening of May 9, 1901, the Huizhou Hall of the Huizhou Ziqiang Hotel, which could accommodate several hundred people, was full. Different from the usual excitement, there was silence in the banquet, and there seemed to be a heavy atmosphere pressing on the venue.

After a while, Lu Liang, the host of the dinner, walked out from behind, and Wu Shimin, Lu Yi, and Lu Min followed aside. Lu Liang looked around, and then walked towards the high platform where the microphone was placed.

"Thank you for coming to Lu's dinner in your busy schedule. All of you here are big gentry and businessmen who have in-depth cooperation with Lu, and in less than a year, we have built hundreds of factories together, and our products are sold both inside and outside. But in order to do bigger business, we must break through some obstacles, including the establishment of cards in various places, road bandits, road rage, official extortion, foreigners and compradors, and so on. In China, our products account for less than one percent, and most of the market is controlled by foreign compradors, not to mention the infinite overseas market. Imagine if the whole country market is occupied by us, then the factories in Huizhou and Guangzhou will not be able to meet at all, and we will even have to spread factories throughout Guangdong, what kind of scene is that! "Lu Liang's passionate speech, most people were instigated and couldn't help themselves, silver, silver, that's all silver!

A few shrewd people just clapped their hands, such as Mei Delong, the patriarch of the Mei family, whose speech was certainly exciting, and who also earned a lot of money by cooperating with him. But what he said lacks a necessary condition, that is, the state is the final say of everyone here, and it seems that Mr. Lu on the stage has the final say. So, this Mr. Lu can't help but want to make a move, Mei Delong and Qiao Zilu, who was sitting on the same seat, glanced at each other, and then the two of them looked at Wu Shimin on the side at the same time, this old fox was listening to Lu Liang's speech with relish, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, I am afraid that he already knew what was going to happen.

Before entering the hotel, Metrone felt that something was wrong, and the regimental gunners were everywhere, standing straight and bulging at the waist. After entering the Huizhou Hall of the hotel, it was even more amazing, it was a soldier I had never seen before, dressed very similar to the soldiers of the foreigners, but more fitting and handsome, they carried spears on their backs and did not squint. Such soldiers are the main reason for the dull atmosphere in the venue, and now combined with what Lu Liang said, what purpose has been revealed!

After everyone regained calm, Lu Liang continued: "The imperial court is afraid of foreigners like tigers, and this time Beijing is at war with the coalition forces, I am afraid that a traitorous treaty will be signed soon, and our business will become more difficult." Factories and commercial houses will be squeezed out by foreigners, so why should foreigners travel thousands of miles to fight with our country? In the final analysis, it is the word 'money', and our factory happens to be an obstacle to the sale of goods by foreigners, and no one can say whether they will put pressure on the imperial court in order to wipe out our business, or even send troops directly! Can the imperial court resist the pressure of foreigners? Can our regimental training block foreign guns and artillery? Are we just going to give up those industries? ”

"Never, never!" There was a shout in the venue, Lu Liang's speech played a role, even Mei Delong and others frowned, Lu Liang's words are likely to become a reality, some small factories have made small troubles before, foreigners will not intervene, but the factories in Guangzhou and Huizhou are too big, and the Mei family has received a lot of news that hostile comprador foreign firms are secretly attacking, and even some commercial houses have a direct conflict.

"Yes, never. But how can we protect the factories that have been built so hard? How to protect caravans and merchant houses selling goods? Why protect the family property from being taken away? The imperial court was no match for the foreigners at all, and the queen mother was driven to Xi'an, and she has not yet returned to Beijing. ”

"We also have foreign guns, and we will fight with them if foreigners come hard!"

"Yes, desperately!" Someone shouted with a red face, automatically acting as Lu Liang's support, things went exactly according to Lu Liang's plan, the emotions had been mobilized, it was time for the next dose of fierce medicine.

"Well said, when will our Guangdong children be willing to be captured? We fought when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and we also fought foreigners during the war. The court and foreigners are all stumbling blocks for us, if we can't get around it, we will move it! The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for 300 years, and they have been riding on the head of our Han people for 300 years, and they have been powerful and prosperous, and they do not regard the Han people as human beings, and even regard them as their minions as rewards. Now I, Lu Liang, have decided that we will no longer endure the exploitation of the Manchurians, and we will overthrow it and be the master of our own house! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone thought that Lu Liang was going to organize a group training to deal with the interference of foreigners, but they did not boldly think about the rebellion, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's hundreds of years of rule made servility deeply rooted in the blood of the people, even these people were no exception. Metrone nodded, and finally said the point, these people were silent, didn't they know that if Lu Liang was not fully prepared to speak to everyone? If you say it, you are not afraid that these people will not cooperate, as long as you walk into this venue, you will not be able to get out. At this point, it is time not to hesitate to make a choice.

According to the plan, Wu Shimin was about to stand up and say the prepared lines, but he didn't want Metron, who was next to him, to stand up suddenly, and everyone's eyes shifted to him. Lu Liang looked at Mei Delong with a smile, this person has always been smart, otherwise he would not have made the Mei family the head of the gentry in Guangdong, it seems that the manuscript prepared by Wu Shimin is not useful.

"Mr. Lu, everyone, the old man has a few words that are not unhappy. Everyone knows what the situation is under the rule of the Manchus, and the fundamental reason for our difficult business is the rotten imperial court. As early as the Longhair Rebellion, there were signs of a change of dynasty, and it was time to go back to his hometown! After all, this world is the world of the Han people, and our Mei family is willing to join Mr. Lu to join the ranks of breakfast. "Their family can be passed on, not by national righteousness, but by judging the situation.

"Old man Mei, the times are different, our name has to be changed, I call this 'revolution', the life of the Manchu court! Ladies and gentlemen, after the success of the revolution, I will give up all the shares of the light industry factories and only keep the steel factories and other heavy industry factories, which can be regarded as the benefits of participating in the revolution, and those who come will have a share! ”

If you have money to make, you have to spend your life! Everyone is a human spirit, and they will not let Lu Liang and Metro join in with a flicker. Most of them have their heads down, either eating food or drinking. Whoever wants to go and who goes, Lao Tzu's family can't take the risk!

"Now, I announce that the Guangdong Zhenguo Party has been formally established, and the purpose of the Zhenguo Party is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and strengthen the country. If you are willing to join, please go to the front desk to register, we have no time limit, when everyone joins, when will the meeting end! ”

"Mr. Lu, if you want to relieve yourself, please make it easier."

"I'm sorry, there is a bathroom next to the venue, come on, send this to the toilet for the old gentleman!" A soldier with a spear on his back came over with a "titicaca", looked at the old man with fierce eyes, and walked to the side after him. Everyone was stunned, this is a Hongmen banquet, forcing them to get on the thief ship! I want to go but can't leave, what should I do?

Lu Liang sneered, said a word to Lu Yi next to him, and then smiled and walked into the back hall hand in hand with Wu Shimin and Medron. There is no way to make such a decision, these people are the bourgeoisie that they have carefully cultivated, they are the social foundation of the revolution, they are timid and afraid, they will push them themselves, and when they succeed and make a lot of money, they will in turn sincerely thank themselves for helping.

"Thank you, Mr. Mei, for helping!" Lu Liang fist with Medlon.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to come up with such a big hand, our Zhenguo Party and Heyuan Zhenguo Party are in the same line, and they are all Mr. Lu's handwriting. I heard that there were thousands of strong soldiers there, presumably all of them were under Mr. Lu, so there should be more and more powerful soldiers in the Guangzhou uprising. Lao Yu This is betting in advance, and he is sure that Mr. Lu will succeed, this is also for the future of the family, and if he is selfish, Mr. Lu will not mention whether to help or not, as long as he does not blame Lao Yu for being opportunistic. ”

"Since Mr. Mei is so straightforward, I will not beat around the bush, I hereby promise that after the matter is completed, the Mei family and the Wu family will become the top families in China." Lu Liang said solemnly, in fact, decades later, the Mei family and the Wu family have become the top three big consortia in the world, which is a later story.
