Section 30 Long Qian and Qiu Jin

"I have admired the heroic name of the autumn woman for a long time, and I can see it today, how fortunate it is!"

Qiu Jin stood up, threw down the scroll in his hand, and stared at the tall and burly officer in a military uniform in front of him, "You are Long Qian?" Long Qian, the governor of Guangdong? ”

"It's despicable." Long Qian also looked at Qiu Jin carefully, compared with the image of him dressed in a kimono in the photo in his memory, the woman in front of him looked much haggard, "I am in the military, and I couldn't meet the woman early, please understand." Autumn Woman, come to Guangzhou for a few days, are you still used to eating and living? ”

Qiu Jin avoided his gaze, his mood was complicated, and he gave up his hand for a while, "Thank you General Long for your help." However, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, the general helped to abuse him, and Qiu Jin did not admire it. ”

On the way, Wang Zhifeng had already reported Qiu Jin's basic attitude, which was expected by Long Qian, Long Qian said solemnly, "Dare to ask Qiu Woman, if you are in a certain place of Long, what should you do?" ”

"Phew! Spineless stuff! Qiu Jin suddenly changed color, "Thank you just now, it was for personal favor." Scolding you now is for the sake of national revenge! If I have the soldiers and horses in your hands, I will definitely point to the north of the banner, smash the Yellow Dragon, drive out the Tartars, and restore the great rivers and mountains of my Han family! Where will you be like you, acting as a hawk dog for Tartars, Long Qian, do you remember your ancestors? ”

Wang Zhifeng and Ouyang Zhong, who were standing in the back, changed color together, they didn't expect Qiu Jin's temper to be so violent, "Qiu Jin, don't be ungrateful!" If it weren't for the commander of my family who sent people thousands of miles to help, you would have become a ghost under the sword of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Ouyang Zhong scolded sharply.

"That's right! But Qiu Jin has never been greedy for life and afraid of death! Shenzhou has fallen, and the smell of blood has been more than 200 years. Even alive is the walking dead. With my enthusiasm, wake up thousands of Han men who are drunk and dreaming of life, why is it not beautiful? Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to talk to me? ”

"Since Qiu Nuxia is not afraid of death, why don't you calm down and discuss the problem you scolding Long Qian? Qiu Woman, please sit down, since I, Long Qian, dare to send someone to save you from death row, I am not afraid of being scolded by you. However, if the revolutionaries are as bloody as you, I think it will be absolutely impossible for you to succeed in the revolution you flaunt. He said. Long Qian sat down on the throne. "First of all, my ancestors, Xianyu taught Long Qian, never forget that you are a Chinese. Long Qian remembered his mother's teachings, so he traveled across the ocean. Return to the home country to serve. That's right. Long Qian is of Han nationality. But dare to ask the Autumn Woman, where do you say to expel the Tartars, do you want to expel the Manchus? Northeast? It is also called Manchuria. Is it the territory of China? Or will it be a genocide and kill all the Manchus, so that China will have no bloody smell from then on? What about the Muslims? What about the Hmong? And what about Tibetans and Mongolians? In history, the Meng Yuan ruled the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the cruelty was no less than that of the Manchus. ”

"Pure quibble. When did I say that I would slaughter all the people? ”

"Okay. What I want to say is that all the ethnic groups that thrive in my Chinese territory, whether Han or Manchu, whether Tibetan or Mongolian, have a common name, Chinese. The meaning of his mother's teachings lies in this, and Long Qian dare not forget it. Let's talk about the second thing, the woman thinks that Long Qian has a chance of winning when he raises troops in Shandong? ”

"If you have to win everything, what else is revolutionary?"

"No, personal matters are small, but national and national affairs are big. If the war starts, the lives of the north will be ruined, the people's homes will be destroyed, and the country's already weak vitality will be lost, who will be the cheapest? Japan? United Kingdom? Russia? I have tens of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers under my command, and they all have wives and children, and I can't help but think about them. Autumn Woman, I've calculated, I started the army last year, and I must have lost, and I started the army this year, and the result is still the same! ”

"Sophistry! Pure quibble! Qiu Jin was furious, and he didn't even notice the true meaning of what Long Qian said, "Even if you think about your subordinates, you can nest in Shandong as your shrinking turtle, why do you want to act as a Tartar eagle dog, suppressing Hunan and Jiangxi in the front, and slaughtering Yuexi in the back?" What is the rationale for this? ”

"It's simple. Because I respect revolutionaries like you who sacrifice their lives for righteousness. I don't go, the outcome of the uprising is even worse. Now, at least a large number of revolutionaries live because of me. Liu Daoyi is alive, Cai Shaonan is alive, and Huang Xing is also alive. ”

"Liu Daoyi is alive? Is Huang Xing alive? Where are they? ”

"Liu Daoyi was taken to Lingshan by me from Jiangxi, and let him go to talk to Huang Xing, where he is now, I don't know how to do it. Huang Xing was deliberately let go by me, and it is estimated that he ran to Japan by water. Cai Shaonan is in our army, and if the woman wants to see it, she can do it at any time. A large number of rebels who were captured by me joined our army, and the heroine wanted to see it, and she could. Let's see if Long Qian is a murderer? If it weren't for admiring you as a person, why would Long Qian send my subordinates to take risks and go to Shaoxing to go through this experience? ”

Perhaps hearing that Liu Daoyi was not killed, Qiu Jin calmed down a lot, "Just now you said that the army could not oppose the Qing Dynasty, do you really have the heart to oppose the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"Slow down, slow down, the topic is not over yet. Autumn Woman, are you waiting for the revolution to drive out the Tartars? ”

"Of course."

"What about after the Tartars have been expelled?"

"Establish a republican republic!"

"And later? Will it be all right to oust the Manchus and establish a Han regime? What about defense? How about diplomacy? What about people's livelihood? Have you ever thought about Autumn Woman? ”

"Naturally, there will be a way when the time comes."

"How can we prevaricate with 'there will be a way to do it when the time comes'? Putting aside my Long Qian for a moment, 100,000 soldiers from Beiyang are stationed in Gyeonggi, do you think they will support the republic, and the alliance will take power? ”

"This ......"

"I heard that Mr. Sun Wen had a plan to divide the two Guangxi provinces to resist the center, and he tried to implement it as early as Li Hongzhang's period, but unfortunately Li Hongzhang looked down on him. I also heard that most of Mr. Sun's revolutionary expenses were taken from Japan, and the Japanese government and opposition were extremely enthusiastic about Mr. Sun's full revolution, and they gave protection to Sun Wen and his party in many ways. Long Qian is ignorant, what is the purpose of the Japanese doing this? ”

"This ......"

"Autumn Woman, I dare to say responsibly that since the success of Japan's Meiji Restoration, China has been regarded as the number one enemy, and from a geopolitical point of view, Japan and China are typical of the two heroes not standing side by side! If Japan is strong, China will be weak. China is strong, and Japan can only honestly stay on their small islands and live! Why did Japan fund Mr. Sun's revolution? Autumn Woman, how many evils, all prevail in the name of revolution. To tell the truth, Long Qian has long been not optimistic about the Manchus, they have made a mess of the country, and it is long overdue to step down and get out. However, China's problems will not be solved because of the collapse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let alone relying on Japan's help, and the shame of the First Sino-Japanese War. The difficulty of Gengzi. Did Autumn Woman really forget? ”

"I can't imagine that General Long has a sharp mouth."

"It's not that Long Qian is lip-talking, but that's the case. I saved the heroine from difficulties, not for the heroine personally, but for the country and the nation. The one who is respected by Long Qian. Not your political opinion. It's the courage to sacrifice for the country! What China is missing. It is a warrior who generously dies like a woman. When Long Qian said this, he waved his hand to the two subordinates behind him and let them go. Autumn Woman, Long Qian has something to ask for, I don't know if the woman agrees. ”

"What's the matter?" Qiu Jin looked at the tough man in front of him vigilantly.

"Long is going to oppose the Qing Dynasty......"

"What?! You repeat. Just now, Long Qian had already said that the Manchu Qing should step down in the morning, but Long Qian personally said that he wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty, which still made Qiu Jin stand up excitedly.

"Yes, you heard it right. Long Qian had been lying on his back for seven or eight years, with the aim of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establishing a prosperous, strong, and democratic New China. The woman whom Long Qian asks for is to contribute to the birth of New China and the prosperity of New China. Is Autumn Woman likely to agree? ”

"If you raise an army against the Qing Dynasty, Qiu Jin will definitely follow!" Excited, Qiu Jin blurted out.

"Slow down, if I want you to leave the Alliance, will you be willing?"

"Why do you have such a prejudice against the Alliance?"

"I don't quite agree with the League. Also, I don't believe in the League's claims. ”

"What's wrong with the Alliance's claims?"

"Since ancient times, it is easy to destroy, but difficult to create. It is easy to break a boundary between the old world and build a new country. Long lived in Lu for several years, and in his spare time, he read some history books, and the rebels were either unbearable, just for a moment's pleasure, or they shouted some gorgeous slogans, such as the cultivator has his land, the dweller has his house, and other slogans that make the poor peasants who are destitute and have no place to stand and follow. Even the League has developed a program of equal land rights. It does sound wonderful. Qiu Woman, as far as Long knows, the backbone leaders of the revolutionary party who followed Mr. Zhongshan are all rich children, and almost all of them have the experience of studying abroad, perhaps it is the world world that is different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty's self-proclaimed Celestial Empire, and only then did he realize the sorrow of the motherland, so he came up with the motive of overthrowing the Manchu Qing and creating the Republic of China. However, who can send their children to study abroad for the lowest class of poor people who really have no money to spare and are full of poverty? Once these rich people take power, who will take their own lives? Give your own land to the poor peasants? Equal land rights are not only the most practical clause in Sun Wen's 16-character program, but also the most difficult clause to realize. ”

Qiu Jin was taken aback, but he didn't expect Long Qian to judge Sun Yat-sen's sixteen-character outline like this.

"In my opinion, whether the Han Chinese are in power or the Manchus are in power, the only measure of the legitimacy of a government is the well-being of the people under its rule. The Manchus rose between the white mountains and black waters, with hundreds of thousands of bows and horses, the skilled Eight Banners took over hundreds of millions of Han people, to see me, it is not how brave the Manchus are, but from Wanli to Chongzhen, the Han regime is immoral to give the Manchus an excellent opportunity to enter the Central Plains. Long has always believed that the fundamental reason for determining military success or failure is political success or failure, not one or two military victories or defeats. Politically enlightened and progressive, even if there are one or two military defeats, it has nothing to do with the final outcome of the war, and conversely, even if several battles are won on the battlefield with the help of soldiers, it is difficult to change the outcome of the war in the end. The corruption of Ming Dynasty politics determined its outcome, and without the threat of the Manchu cavalry, it would have lost the country to Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, or other rebels. And if Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are political successes, they will naturally not be defeated by the Tartars whose troops are far inferior to their own. ”

Qiu Jin was disappointed, "In this way, General Long is going to set up his own banner." ”

"The new China that Long Qian fantasizes about is a new China that absorbs all patriots, a new China that broadens the wisdom of the people and advocates science and democracy, a new China that cares about the people's livelihood and strives to make the people rich and happy, and a new China that builds a strong national defense and revitalizes the heroic style of the Han and Tang dynasties. It is a trivial matter for Long Qian to set up his own banner or not to establish his own banner, but Long Qian can assure the woman that Long Qian will never be the emperor and will never establish a new feudal dynasty. ”

"So, how does General Long treat the Alliance?"

"Since the sea is inclusive."

"Okay, Qiu Jin agreed to you. Let me ask you, and how to implement the anti-Qing heart? ”

"Good question. It is nothing more than three things: military training, fundraising, and cultivating people's livelihood. Compared with the latter two, it is not difficult to train soldiers. We don't care about the court, the main thing is that we have to gather enough strength. But there is one thing that is more urgent, and I haven't figured out how to do it yet......"

"What's the matter?"

Long Qian was thinking of a political party. If you want to establish a new feudal dynasty, you don't need to establish a political party, as long as you are called by power and wealth, there will always be people who sell themselves to take refuge. is the generals of the Mengshan Army, seeing that their careers are thriving, there is naturally no problem with loyalty. But if there is a major military defeat, the problem will be completely exposed. The situation will be completely different in building an advanced political party, and although China is closed and ignorant, there will always be no shortage of people who dedicate themselves to their ideals...... However, a political party is a political group with a clear political goal and represents the interests of a certain stratum. Worker? How many workers are there in the real sense of the word in China? Farmer? How to represent the interests of the vast number of farmers? confiscated landlords' land and distributed it to peasants? Walking the path that has been done in history? When we tried to reform the land in Zhengjiazhuang, we found that the landlords and rich peasants could not be generalized, and the situation was extremely complicated......

"It's a difficult thing to do, and I haven't thought about it yet. When I have an eyebrow, I'll ask the woman again. ”

"So, how did General Long settle me?"

"Autumn Woman, I want you to have a deep understanding of Long and Long's army. It's better to hear than to see. Long Qian will stay in Guangdong for a while, and if Qiu Nuxia is willing, she will stay in Guangdong to help me. However, in order to hide people's eyes, the woman has to change her name. Wait for the banner to be held high, and then restore the true face of the heroine. There is another option, that is, to go north to Shandong and take a look at the new Shandong Deal with her own eyes, maybe the heroine will have a more comprehensive understanding of Long Qian. Where to go, the heroine can decide for herself. ”

"What if I'm going back to Japan?"

"You can too. But if the heroine wants to promise Long Qian one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Don't say that it was Long Qian who saved you."

"Why?"

"It's not that I underestimate your comrades, there is a serious lack of confidentiality awareness, and before the eight characters have been skimmed, they have already shouted all over the city, which is a big thing for me. However, I don't advocate that you go abroad, revolution, naturally you have to be down-to-earth, how can there be anyone hiding overseas and shouting to save the country? ”

This is the irony of Sun Wen, Qiu Jin put aside this topic, "General Long's life-saving grace, Qiu Jin naturally wants to repay it." What's more, the general has the ambition to save the country? I'll stay in Guangdong, and see if you're the same in your heart. ”

"Okay, then it's settled." Long Qian Ha Lu Ha Da Lang smiled, "The number of Manqing Qi has been exhausted, but how to create a new China, Long has his own little insight, since the general direction is the same, we will seek common ground while reserving differences, in order to revitalize my Chinese majesty and forge ahead hand in hand, at this moment, please be patient and wait for the opportunity." ”

The confrontation between Long Qian and Qiu Jin ended in a complete victory for Long Qian. Immediately, Long Qian said goodbye and went to see Xu Si accompanied by Ouyang Zhong. (To be continued......)
