Sun Cannon was wandering around Beijing and Tianjin, and Yang Hao actually knew it.

What he knows better is that these two not only investigated the people's situation everywhere and observed the military and political officials of the Qing court at close range, but also made a lot of illegal publications like Yang Hao in private.

Yang Hao used Guowen Bao and a large number of tabloids and periodicals to encroach on the Manchu public opinion market little by little, and pushed the people to gradually increase their suspicion and resistance to the Manchu rule. In the end, they will become the backbone of the Manchu gravediggers, but they will not mess around in a daze and make trouble, but will be used by careerists like Yuan Shikai.

Sun Cannon: Not so with them. failed to write to Li Hongzhang, and he didn't even see people's faces. The two of them are completely dead to the heart of gradual change, even if they have read a lot of articles "published" by Yang Hao in the past six months, they still do not change their original intentions. Privately, they also made a lot of illegal tabloids, and began to agitate for the people to overthrow the Manchus and create a united government.

It's just that in the current situation, the people in the north simply don't have the motivation to overthrow the Manchus, their propaganda has not received much feedback, and they have lost some peripheral crew members under Li Hongzhang's vigorous purge.

Yang Hao thought that these two people had gone to Shanghai to take a boat to Japan, but they didn't expect to come to their door!

Zhou Jianhao didn't know where the nickname of "Sun Cannon" came from, so he just waited for Yang Hao to pace back and forth a few times, and waved his hand resolutely: "See!" So I went to make arrangements right away.

A few minutes later, Yang Hao met the 28-year-old former Prime Minister and Mr. Father of the Nation in the reception room.

As soon as the two sides looked at each other, Sun Lu and the two of them hugged their fists and bowed to the end: "Later, Sun Wen and Lu Haodong meet Mr. Huasheng!" ”

Yang Hao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the arms of the two: "Don't do this!" The two of you are well-known benevolence and righteousness, and Yang Hao should not be so generous. ”

He was sweating in his heart. Your Mr. Sun will be the father of the nation who will be hung on the wall for hundreds of millions of people to worship in the future. Pioneer of the Revolution. The founder of the Republic of China. Lu Haodong, that is also the earliest revolutionary martyr, how can Yang Hao dare to bear it?

Sun Wen and Lu Haodong seemed to be sincere, and after two attempts, they couldn't beat Yang Hao's strength, so they had to stand up straight and said sincerely: "I can't imagine that the two of us have a little name, and I can also hear it in the ears of Mr., I am very honored!" ”

Yang Hao laughed: "The 'Four Great Kou' that makes the Qing court remember it is not a nobody. Today's world dares to brazenly prepare to overthrow the Manchus. Probably just a few of you. ”

Sun Lu and the others were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Being able to talk about this shows that the understanding of them is not generally clear. In addition, it did not hide its original meaning, and the two sides met openly and honestly.

The guest and the host sat down, Yang Hao guessed in his heart, but asked quietly on his face: "The two of you came here this time, I don't know if you need Yang Hao's help?" If it is for the sake of the revolution, I should do my part. In any case, today's world can see clearly the crisis in the world and dare to devote themselves to it. They are all comrades, and they should help each other. ”

He made his position clear first. So that the two of them don't have to talk around the bend, saving a waste of time.

With such a straightforward approach, it is obvious that Sun Wen and Lu Haodong are not mentally prepared. The two exchanged glances, and Lu Haodong asked: "Since Mr. is so frank, I won't talk about it." This time, I came here, but I didn't know what to ask for advice in person. ”

Yang Hao spread his hands: "Please speak." ”

Lu Haodong said: "Judging from Mr. Wang's various actions, it is clear that he has understood the root cause of China's predicament today, and he has also raised funds in various ways to inspire the people from all aspects of civil and military affairs, and he has taken the lead in setting an example, and he does not hesitate to take risks to go to the front line." But for months, little has seemed to have happened. Sir should know that as long as China has the Manchu Dynasty entrenched in the people, it will not be possible to achieve the rejuvenation of civilization one day. In this case, how can we directly raise troops to revolution, overthrow it, and create an enlightened and prosperous era of China in one fell swoop? ”

Yang Hao's heart trembled slightly when he heard this, he really deserved to be a revolutionary pioneer, he said this mercilessly, sharply and directly, and hit the core of the problem.

However, he had already learned about the various thoughts of their group of people through historical materials before, and Yang Hao was also fully prepared, and said with a smile at the moment: "According to your intentions, it is good to directly rebel under the banner of expelling the Tatars and restoring China, and overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, there is no need to go to such great lengths." Isn't it? ”

Sun Wen and Lu Haodong nodded in unison: "That's right." In today's critical situation, as Mr. said, the whole world is in turmoil and innovation, and if China does not keep up in time, it will surely become the fat meat carved up by the great powers. Graduality is no longer feasible, and only by forcefully breaking the rigid system that has been rigid for thousands of years can there be a glimmer of life. The gentleman saw clearly, why was he so slow to act? ”

Sun Wen further stated: "Today, the Chinese people have been fooled for a long time, dull and indifferent, and do not know that the world will be turned upside down. Only by giving them an unprecedented sting and a deep understanding of the pain of bullying and oppression by the great powers can they awaken and lift themselves up. Isn't it contrary to your idea that the gentleman has repeatedly helped the Qing court when it was in decline, so that it can always see a glimmer of hope? ”

Yang Hao asked: "Do you think that I should not help the Manchus fight against the Japanese invaders, but should sit back and watch them lose and lose, so that the people of the whole world can see their corrupt and incompetent faces?" ”

The two nodded. Lu Haodong said: "Exactly." It seems to us that the Chinese people did not want to rebel against the barbaric rule of the Manchus. For 250 years, there has been no interruption in various struggles. It's just that now under the maintenance of Li Hongzhang and many other talented Han officials, there is nothing to be done. Once they see through their incompetence, they will surely take the opportunity to rise up, overthrow the Manchus, and drive out the great cause of the Tartars, and they will succeed in one fell swoop. ”

Yang Hao nodded frequently when he heard this, and also agreed.

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, there have been numerous uprisings against the Qing Dynasty and the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty under various banners, but they have not succeeded in the end. It would be wrong to say that the Chinese were willing to accept the rule of the Manchus in silence.

However, he did not dare to agree with the optimistic judgment of the two, and asked bluntly: "Even if we suddenly start an incident, we will overthrow them when the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no time to take care of it." But have you ever thought that they have fallen? Who will rule the country? ”

"This ......."

The two of them were stunned. A little uncertain, he said: "Of course, it is a government formed by people of insight. to replace the decaying and declining Manchu royal family. ”

Yang Hao pressed step by step: "The people of insight you are talking about are nothing more than officials and gentry who saw that the situation was not good and switched camps in time to take refuge. Right? In fact, from a serious point of view, what is the difference between them and the old ruling forces that fell with the wind when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom caused disaster to most of the country? ”

The two of them were speechless.

is as smart and wise as Sun Wen, but in fact, he didn't think too deeply about this issue. What they had repeatedly discussed before was how to overthrow the Manchu Qing. Or in their minds, as long as the Manchu rule fell, the rest of the matter would fall naturally. Having a government like in the West can transform the whole country into a new one.

It's naïve to say.

Yang Hao didn't expect them to think clearly, and continued to take care of himself: "In my opinion, in today's China, it is not the Manchu Qing that really holds the ruling power. They are nothing more than millions of fat pig maggots in captivity. What really has the final say is the literati class armed with the old cultural ideas of Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, and Weng Tongyi. They controlled the ruling decisions from the court to the prefecture and county, and fought against the corrupt and stubborn clan power of the gentry. Constitute an impenetrable ruling power that covers the entire country. ”

"The goal of the revolution should not be simply the overthrow of Manchu rule. That's not difficult. The real trouble lies in, for example, the complete destruction of the old literati system. Enlighten and awaken the hundreds of millions of people who have been suppressed at the bottom, and automatically and consciously fundamentally change the country, so as to realize the liberation and rejuvenation of the whole nation. This can be said to be a revolutionary success. ”

The eyes of the two widened in shock, and their breathing stopped for a while.

"This ...... Is this the real revolution? ”

The two suddenly found that their previous series of ideas were an order of magnitude worse than the depth and breadth of Yang Hao's thoughts.

Their approach is, at best, transformative. Yang Hao's statement is the real revolution.

Change is gradual. Revolution is to break the old world and build a new world, and its intensity and intensity are very different!

In fact, Sun Wen and Lu Haodong also want to revolution, and the so-called letter to Li Hongzhang is just a pretense for the superficial change. You must know that in the past few years, in how many discussions between their "four great masters" and fellow believers, they have seen through the essence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and expecting them to make changes is tantamount to asking for their lives and shaking the foundation of their rule.

But after all, they were in it, and they didn't think so far, so deep, so bold!

According to Yang Hao, it is almost the enemy of the whole world! Don't say that there is a move, you just need to express this idea, and it will immediately cause an overwhelming encirclement and interception, and kill with all your might!

Sun Wen took a deep breath: "Since you can see it so clearly, the goal is so ambitious. But why do they support many old-fashioned forces in business and stop strong enemies for them militarily? Wouldn't it be better to let them fully expose their weaknesses in their fight with the great powers, and then take advantage of the situation to destroy them in one fell swoop? ”

Yang Hao laughed in his heart, no matter how wise Sun Dacang was, he had never left the category of bourgeois revolution. To put it more excessively, he actually has the problem of a traditional literati, that is, he doesn't take the suffering of the lower classes seriously at all!

In the thinking of the old-style literati, the state was their state, and it had nothing to do with the peasants and industrialists of the lower classes. As long as they are there, they occupy the ruling class, and it doesn't matter who is the head of the emperor and what kind of political system they adopt. Because they represent Zhengshuo, they have the right to speak.

This also leads to the fact that when their kind of revolution succeeds, it is still the same class that has been handed down for thousands of years in power, and they do it

Things are no different from the Manchu Qing being emperors or the Han people being emperors.

Such a country could not really be regarded as having undergone a revolution at all.

Yang Hao was educated by all kinds of rebellions from childhood to adulthood, and the different eras experienced by three generations, how to do it, class struggle, and various problems of the Chinese revolution were all examined, and they were not on the same channel at all with the pioneers and martyrs of this era.

He knew that the revolution of these people would not succeed after all, because they had made a mistake from the starting point and the wrong way.

Therefore, he bluntly stated: "There can be various ways to awaken the people, and I will never tolerate any foreign force burning and plundering our land!" The lives of our people are precious, and even if they don't wake up, it's just that we haven't done enough. It is our responsibility to change their thinking, and I will never allow outsiders to come and act recklessly! ”

However, that would give them many illusions that the Manchu rule could still be saved. Wouldn't it add many twists and turns and obstacles to the work of the revolution? ”

Sun Wen disagreed. He felt that the revolution was originally a matter for the advanced to move forward actively, and those who could not keep up with it would definitely be eliminated. And the revolution cannot go unshed, and the necessary sacrifices are allowed to occur, and even more so tolerated.

Yang Hao was too aware of his series of styles, and said with a faint smile: "My philosophy is like this. I would rather take more detours than let innocents suffer more casualties. If you two have their own ideas and intend to take any action, I will support it. If you want money or guns, you can provide them. (To be continued......)
