In the cultural classics of the Chinese, Java Island is a distant and ethereal place, for example, if you want to say that the memory is poor, just say "I have long forgotten to Java", Indonesia's most important cities Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, etc. are on this island, Zheng He has seven ocean voyages, each time he has visited the Indonesian archipelago, covering Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan and other places, leaving a friendly impression on the locals, of which Semarang City is still named after Zheng He's "Sanbao Lord", so the Javanese locals are interested in the arrival of the squadron, without much fear. On the contrary, the revolutionary parties of Emperor Zhu Xiangdi are fluctuating, and they don't know whether to leave or stay. In addition, the local diaspora and natives blamed the revolutionary party for this catastrophe, and after the Sino-Dutch war, they could no longer stay in Java.

In a dimly lit room, Emperor Zhu Xiang discussed with Chen Meiqi, Song Renjiao and a dozen or so backbones of the Fumin League. Emperor Zhu Xiangdi was dressed in khaki clothes, his face was expressionless, he spoke for more than an hour, without a script, walking around the room, face-to-face calling on everyone to continue to support him and continue the revolution in North America and other places. His words were sensational, but many people were reluctant to listen to them anymore and interrupted him from time to time. Chen Meiqi took out a black-shelled Mauser from her waist, slammed it on the table, and shouted: "I have followed the prime minister and continued the revolution." Who is against the Prime Minister and asks me if I will agree to this gun! ”

Song Renjiao, who is now the general affairs officer, stood up at this time and said: "The recent death of Tao Zhangcheng has forced me to think about a problem, those revolutions that start with violence will only get violence in the end. I have heard that constitutional reform has already begun in China, and we are now revolutionary, whose life will we remove? To be honest, if it weren't for the timely action of the squadron this time, I don't know how many overseas Chinese in Indonesia would have died unjustly. That's it. We will become sinners of the nation! ”

Song Renjiao's words aroused the empathy of the people present, and they also talked about it. Emperor Zhu Xiangdi blackened his face, snorted, and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Song Renjiao said. "When I was in Japan, I studied the Constitution, and I was ready to return to Japan. Maybe there is still a place for me to return home. The President has ordered the pardon of the revolutionaries. ”

Chen Meiqi also stood up and shouted at Song Renjiao: "What did you say? Are you going back to China to cooperate with Song Xiaofei, the dictator? ”

At this time, a tall young man stood up, his eyebrows were clear, and he spoke in a Cantonese accent, he was Chen Jiongming, a native of Haifeng, Guangdong, who was twenty-six years old at this time. He and Zhang Binglin are good friends. As early as when Emperor Zhu Xiang asked for painting and swearing allegiance to him, Chen Jiongming did not participate, and he had an opinion. He has a good character, does not love money, and is not lustful. People like Chen Meiqi who love gambling and prostitution are not all the way, but they have similar interests with Song Renjiao.

Chen Jiongming also bravely stood up to express his opinion: "I agree with Brother Song's words. Maybe we were wrong before, and the republic, which we bought with blood, will only deviate from the republic. Because what you get from violence will end with violence! I have contacted Wang Shizhen to return to my hometown of SITC to work, and I have obtained the consent of the Chinese government. ”

Originally. Wang Shizhen sent a telegram to Song Xiaofei for instructions, saying that Chen Jiongming wanted to return to his hometown Haifeng. Song Xiaofei knew that the real Chen Jiongming in history was a talented person, he was the military and political leader of Guangdong during the Republic of China, and he adhered to the political proposition of inter-provincial autonomy all his life, and was committed to reunifying China through peaceful consultation. In the end, they parted ways, turned against each other, and were slandered as a great warlord who betrayed the revolution.

Song Xiaofei knew that in history, Chen Jiongming won the hearts of the people in Guangdong, and he was born at the bottom. But he is good at military affairs, knowing that armed forces fight and fight, soldiers are cannon fodder, and it is the poor people of the lower classes who suffer, after ruling Guangdong, he implements his political proposition of "model letter, inter-provincial autonomy", that is, he hopes that his model letter, inter-provincial autonomy political proposition will be supported by the southwestern provinces, so as to be promoted throughout the country, to promote the national republic, if all the first valve does this, China will be similar to the United States. It is a pity that there is only one Chen Jiongming in the whole country, and although his political measures have been praised by national newspapers and even overseas media, no one has supported him in action. Even so, he also cut the Cantonese army and reduced expenses. Chen Jiongming was well aware that military interference in politics was a chronic problem in society at that time, and strictly forbade the military to interfere in the administration of justice, set up provincial, county, and township local courts at three levels throughout the province, vigorously banned smoking and gambling, publicly destroyed 140,000 taels of opium cigarettes worth 400,000 yuan in the eastern school field of Guangdong, supported the development of non-governmental enterprises, built free public schools, implemented compulsory education, and increased the proportion of female students enrolled in school. So Song Xiaofei sent a telegram back to Wang Shizhen, "Let Chen Jiongming return to Haifeng to be a county magistrate."

When Emperor Zhu Xiang heard that Chen Jiongming was also leaving, he didn't speak. The day's closed-door meeting ended unhappily. Emperor Zhu Xiang still decided to go to North America to continue the revolution, and on the day Wang Shizhen's army landed on Java Island, he was mixed in a cargo ship transporting betel nuts and went to North America.

Song Renjiao did not return to China. He was assassinated at the dock when a bullet entered his body from the back, hit him in the right rib and slanted into his abdomen, and the killer fled after shooting. Song Jiaoren was in unbearable pain, fell to the ground, pulled the head of Yu Youren, who came to see him off, to his chest with his hand, and said breathlessly: "I am in great pain, and I can't afford to ......."

At that time, Huang Keqiang, Yu Youren and others who came to see him off sent Song Renjiao to Maria Hospital for first aid, in the hospital, Song Renjiao struggled to get up, and said to Huang Keqiang: "I am from a poor family, and my mother is still here, if I die, please take care of Keqiang, Gong and the deceased for me." He instructed Huang Keqiang to send a telegram to Song Xiaofei on his behalf, telling him about his bullet and revolutionary career, and finally hoped that Song Xiaofei could do his best to protect civil rights, although he was still alive.

After Song Xiaofei learned the news, he asked Wang Shizhen to investigate and deal with the murderer of Song Renjiao, and bury him, and also allocated 20 silver dollars per month to Song Renjiao's mother.

Emperor Zhu Xiangdi and others falsely accused Song Renjiao of being killed by the president, and called for the continuation of the revolution. Chen Jiongming and Zhang Binglin were on the ship returning to China, and the two talked about it, and Chen Jiongming asked Zhang Binglin what he thought.

Zhang Binglin laughed and said: "If the assassination of Song Renjiao hadn't been done by Chen Meiqi, a madman, I would have jumped into the Pacific Ocean immediately." Why would the president do such a thing? To tell the truth, he started from Korea, step by step to the minister of the humerus, crisscrossed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, fought with the Japanese, French, and Germans, and also took over Li Hongzhang's class, and controlled hundreds of thousands of new-style troops across the country. ”

Chen Jiongming nodded: "Brother is reasonable, I'd better go back to my hometown and be my county magistrate honestly." ”

After the squadron occupied the whole of Indonesia, Song Xiaofei sent someone to find Zhu Erdian and began to talk to the British government about recovering Hong Kong.

Hong Kong has three main areas: Hong Kong Island is about 81 square kilometres; The Kowloon Peninsula is about 47 square kilometers; The New Territories and 262 outlying islands cover a total of 976 square kilometres. At that time, Hong Kong Island and the area south of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula were ceded to the British. In addition, the South China Sea area is vast, there are many islands, and the harbors are clustered, and piracy is rampant, often haunting the sea, plundering merchant ships and killing merchants on board. From Malacca, Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra to the island of Sulu in the Philippines, piracy has been carried out in the meantime, causing great harm to commercial dealings. Since 1820, Britain has continuously sent its navy to assist the East India Company's merchant fleet in its conquests, so the British Far East Fleet has been in Asia for a long time, and its strength is not weak. At that time, there was also a gap between the strength of the Chinese navy and the British, and China's industrialization depended on the support of the British, so Song Xiaofei did not want to go to war with the British.

Song Xiaofei proposed to exchange islands for islands and take back Hong Kong, and he said to Zhu Erdian: "What do you think of the Chinese government's readiness to exchange Medan from Sumatra for Hong Kong and all British concessions in China?" Medan is close to the Strait of Malacca, with a land area equivalent to nearly 30 Hong Kongs. ”

Medan is a city developed from a small village in Medan, after the rise of plantations in 1903, it was the distribution center and processing center of tobacco, rubber, coconut, oil palm and other agricultural products in northern Sumatra at that time, with oil refining, textiles, coconut oil, rubber products, cigarettes, etc., with plantations, oil fields and railway administrations, warehouses and domestic and foreign banking institutions closely connected with it, and its outer port of Bellao Bay is an excellent port, with an area of 26,510 square kilometers. At that time, Hong Kong was also underdeveloped. So this deal is also a good deal for the British government.

Zhu Erdian tested the Chinese government's determination to take back Hong Kong and asked: "President, although this deal is a good deal, what if the British government does not agree?" ”

Song Xiaofei laughed, "China has estimated all kinds of situations that may arise!" However, I believe the worst is not going to happen. With Britain's current interests in China, not to mention one Hong Kong, even a hundred Hong Kong cannot be replaced. Moreover, the entire Nanyang region now needs China and Britain to join hands to jointly maintain its stability and prosperity. ”

Zhu Erdian said: "The president is right, we China and Britain will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. I'm going to send a telegram to London. You wait for my good news. ”

On March 3, 1903, eight cruiser ironclads of the Sixth Fleet of the Chinese Navy officially entered Hong Kong, and China's five-color national flag flew high in the sky of Hong Kong. Britain's rice flag slowly descended. On this day, China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, and the whole country celebrated with the loud national anthem of the Hong Kong Garrison. At the same time, the British concessions in Shanghai, Tianjin, Hankou and other places were also canceled at the same time, and China ended the humiliating diplomacy of the Manchu Qing government for sixty or seventy years, and the Chinese people really stood up from then on!

The New York Times published a commentator's article at the beginning: "China, the lion of the East, has awakened!" ”
