On the island of Java in the South Seas, in the backyard of a Chinese hotel, Zhu Dixiang, the prime minister of the Fumin League, wore a modified suit, clenched his fists, and gave an impassioned speech to a group of overseas Chinese businessmen, propagating the revolutionary ideas of the Fumin League: "There must be a great revolution in China, the old bureaucracy has proven their incompetence, they must hand over power, the local tyrants and inferior gentry are the remnants of the old era, they should dismiss their servants and live the life of ordinary citizens, they must realize that their end is coming!" The majority of China's 426 million people support the revolution! We firmly believe that with the support of 400 million Chinese, the revolution will be successful! We are not revolutionizing for the sake of revolution, we are building the cornerstone of democracy and constitutionalism for China, fighting for the belief in freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and votes, all of which should belong to every Chinese! Just like the great United States of America! ”

Located between the vast Indian and Pacific Oceans, Java was a Dutch colony in 1901 and was called "Karopa" by the Chinese during the Qing Dynasty. Java's population has always been growing at a high rate, with a population of 5 million in 1815 and growing to about 100 million at the beginning of the 20th century, including two to three million overseas Chinese, with major cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Solo and Yogyakarta. After Zhu Dixiang and others fled from Japan to San Francisco in the United States, the overseas Chinese there knew that the political system of the United States was not a "paradise", and that the overseas Chinese at this time, like the blacks, could only work as laborers on the plantations or farms of the whites; They do not have the right to testify in court, and can only passively accept the slander and "accusations" of white anti-Chinese elements in court; What is even more profound is that without citizenship, they have no right to vote and the right to stand for election, and they are unable to choose suitable officials and congressmen to fight for their own interests, so they can only rely on the government controlled by the anti-Chinese forces to continuously formulate discriminatory laws and regulations against the Chinese people, unscrupulously trample on the dignity of the Chinese people, and plunder the property of the Chinese people, thus posing a serious threat to the personal and property safety of the Chinese people. They had no choice but to go to the Nanyang region to raise funds, and the "Going to Nanyang" in the last years of the Qing Dynasty led to a sharp increase in the number of Chinese, possibly reaching more than 30 million at most, with the largest population density on the island of Java. Therefore, Zhu Dixiang and others used the empty and beautiful words of freedom, democracy, constitutionalism, and faith to fool the overseas Chinese in Nanyang.

Zhu Dixiang's speech was very demagogic, and many people in the audience applauded, and many overseas Chinese were still cool-headed. He expressed doubts about Zhu Dixiang's statement that "most of the 426 million people in China support the revolution", "Mr. Zhu, do so many people in China really support the revolution?" I heard that China's current president has started democratic reforms. ”

Zhu Dixiang smiled. Say loudly: "China's current president, ** to the top, do you know? He alone has six wives, the eldest wife is his maid, the second wife is from a Qinglou woman, and his third wife and fourth wife are all Korean maidservants, how can such a person lead China? The president's sister-in-law is rich enough to rival the country. His eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law are both high-ranking government officials. This is really 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven'. China's premier, Sheng Xuanhuai, was originally a stooge of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now his family runs a silk factory and a bank to squeeze the hard-earned money of the Chinese people. Many of the current officials in China are Manchu officials. This gang has made crony capitalism. Moreover, China is now full of foreign capitalists who set up sweatshops in China and exploit the Chinese. It's ridiculous to say that China's current customs chief. Or the British, Hurd, isn't this selling China to the British? There is also the Chinese fleet, and there are both the British Lang Weili and the American Magiffen and others in the deputy commander, and our revolution is to establish a real people's livelihood government. Drive out the foreigners, and I will fight for the cause of the revolution in China all my life, and defeat these traitors, bureaucratic capitalists, local tyrants and shoddy gentry! ”

What Zhu Dixiang said sounded very similar to that, but he only said a small part of the truth. Take Hurd as an example, he served as a Briton in China Customs, served as the director of the General Taxation Department, fulfilled his duties, created a set of strict customs management systems such as taxation, statistics, dredging ports, quarantine, etc., built a new lighthouse and weather station in coastal ports, opened up a stable, secure, and gradually growing new source of tax revenue for China, and eliminated the widespread phenomenon of customs. Song Xiaofei admired Hurd's ability and continued to appoint him.

As for Lang Weili and Ma Jifen, they have followed Song Xiaofei since the Beiyang Navy period, and they are also very loyal to their duties, Song Xiaofei has always been eclectic in appointing foreign consultants, in addition to serving China, they can also maintain China's relations with Britain and the United States, killing two birds with one stone. Xi Muyan, Xi Jiadong and Xi Jiaming are even more capable.

But the "rabble" is always irrational, and they don't know whether what Zhu Dixiang said is right or not, seeing that Zhu Dixiang is upright, Chen Meiqi next to him is wearing braided hair and a short shirt, like a hero in the market, no matter how he looks like a bad guy, Chen Tiannan, a branch of the local Hongmen in Nanyang, does not understand any revolutionary theory at all, but he is very righteous and supports Zhu Dixiang's revolution, plus Zhu Dixiang promised to use these overseas Chinese donations to launch an uprising in China, "In the future, the revolution will succeed, If you are China's heroes, you can all return to the motherland. Most of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang who were present joined the Hongmen Zhigong Court, or were protected by them, and donated money to Zhu Dixiang, raising more than 200,000 silver dollars in just one week.

Tao Zhangcheng led the Restoration Society, although it has become independent from the Restoration of Sight Alliance, but nominally it is still part of the Restoration of Vision, just like the Huaxing Association established by Huang Keqiang, Song Renjiao and Chen Huatian. Tao Zhangcheng heard that Zhu Dixiang was doing well in Nanyang, so he also went to Nanyang to develop, and he invited Zhu Dixiang and others to a restaurant to have dinner and discuss revolutionary matters. Zhu Dixiang thought that Tao Zhangcheng had the heart to join his leader, and took Chen Meiqi and others to the appointment happily.

It is a two-story traditional Chinese restaurant, and the owner is also an overseas Chinese. It was noon, the sun was spicy, and there were many people eating in the restaurant, bustling and sweaty.

Zhu Dixiang and Chen Meiqi walked upstairs, and when they arrived at a private room on the second floor, Tao Zhangcheng was already waiting in the private room, only to see the twenty-four-year-old Tao Zhangcheng tied his waist with hemp rope, a black Mauser pin pinned to his waist, and his feet wore mango shoes, dressed like a peasant, and there were two bodyguards standing behind him, each with a weapon hidden in his arms.

On the surface, both the Restoration Society and the Restoration Alliance want to revolution, but because of the factions and the differences in personal quality, Zhu Dixiang and Tao Zhangcheng have always had a bad relationship. Zhu Dixiang and Tao Zhangcheng's revolutionary program is also very different, Zhu Dixiang wants to establish an American-style federal republic, engage in democratic constitutional government, Tao Zhangcheng believes that revolution is to change to be the emperor, Tao Zhangcheng in addition to the Liberation Society, but also set up a Longhua Association that obeys his personal orders, the first sentence of the constitution of this association is "revolution is rebellion"! Tao Zhangcheng opposes the republican constitution, he believes that the constitution of various countries is because the feudal era is not far away, and the common people cannot govern for a while, and China is the common people who have been the emperor and prime minister through the imperial examination for more than 1,000 years, and there is no need for a republican constitution. His revolutionary goal was to elect the emperor by the common people, or to practice anarchism, and he hoped to realize the "great harmony of the world" advocated by Kang Youwei: there were no landlords, no poor people, and few soldiers, and peace for all generations.

That day, after a few words of greeting, Tao Zhangcheng explained his intention to Zhu Dixiang, "My brother is preparing to organize the Liberation Army and prepare to launch an uprising in Zhejiang.

When Emperor Zhu heard this, he thought to himself, after a long time, Tao Zhangcheng wanted to set up an army by himself, and wanted to introduce him to the gold owner, but it was quite beautiful, of course he disagreed, and politely refused: "The money of these patriotic overseas Chinese is not easy to come by, and we can't ask people for money again and again." ”

Tao Zhangcheng took out the pistol on his waist and threw it on the table, stood up and said, "It seems that Brother Zhu wants to eat alone, how can there be such a reason in the world!" ”

Chen Meiqi, who stood behind Zhu Dixiang, was originally a member of the Shanghai Youth Gang, good at organizing assassinations, but his actions were decisive and agile, although he claimed to be a scholar, he was known for his "four victories", that is, quick action, quick means, quick speech, quick ideas, when he saw Tao Zhangcheng dare to pull out a gun in front of him, he was immediately furious, his face changed abruptly, and he flashed to Tao Zhangcheng's side with a turn, and before his subordinates could react, he took out a German semi-automatic pistol, and the barrel of the gun was hard against Tao Zhangcheng's temple: "Brother Zhu is polite to you, If you are rude to Brother Zhu again, I will immediately shoot you bastard! ”

Tao Zhangcheng glanced at the young Chen Meiqi, his face did not change, he laughed, and asked, "You are the famous Chen Meiqi next to Emperor Zhu!" ”

Chen Meiqi didn't expect Tao Zhangcheng to know his name, nodded and said: "You actually know me, and you are still playing with an axe in front of me, who do you want to scare with a gun." ”

Tao Zhangcheng sneered and added, "It turns out that you are the 'Yangmei hero', it is better to meet than to be famous!" Don't mess around, I'm telling you, you're not the only one in this room with a gun! ”

Chen Meiqi heard Tao Zhangcheng say the word "bayberry", and his murderous heart suddenly rose, it turned out that this had always been a pain in his heart, because he had been in Japan for a long time, he suffered from sex. Unable to have children, Chen Meiqi's fingers pressed against the trigger of the pistol and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "You fucking looking for death!" ”
