"Now, it is estimated that the Manchus must have noticed your purchase of arms. I don't believe that your near-open buying of weapons can go unnoticed. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to find a reason for this previous behavior that has nothing to do with the rebellion and can make the Manchus relax their vigilance. Chen Guang said.

"You mean we have to find a way to make the Manchus think that our purchase of weapons has nothing to do with rebellion?" Mr. Yang Quyun somewhat understood what Chen Guang meant.

"Buying weapons is always about violence and conflict. We want to convince the Manchus that our purchase of guns is not to be used against him, and we need to find another object of conflict. And create some conflicts. "For example, I know that some gangs in the United States often have conflicts with each other, and such things happen for the sake of territory, for profit, and even for the sake of face." I know that this kind of thing should be the same in the Chinese gang. Of course, most of the time, we negotiate to resolve our differences, but it's not without a rush. Do we have any other gangs that we need to deal with now? ”

"There are gangs that conflict with us, but the relationship is so tense that it seems that none of them want to do it. If you make one out of force, I am afraid that the Manchus may not believe it. Mr. Yang Quyun said.

"Believe it or not, it depends on the level of acting." Chen Guang said.

"I'm afraid it won't work either." Mr. Yang Quyun again expressed his opposition.

"Senior Chen, do you think, if we are acting, will we tell the people below that this is acting? Sue sù, it's definitely not like it, if you don't sue sù, then it's really not good, and a lot of people will be killed and injured. Besides, if such a full-fledged martial arts performance is performed in Hong Kong, it will also make the British very disgusted, and it will be very difficult for us to carry out activities in Hong Kong in the future. It will also affect the attitude of the British towards us in the future. ”

The latter reason has been supported by more people. Because according to their ideas, after taking Canton, the most important thing is to gain international recognition, and at least let the powers maintain a neutral position. Then any approach that might lead to hatred of the Great Powers against them needs to be considered.

"Yes, Senior Chen, if we fight in Hong Kong, the British will be very angry. It's not a good idea to anger Britain right now. ”

Since so many people are against it, Chen Guang's acting plan will certainly not work.

"Since that's the case, then why don't we come to a way to cultivate the plank road and secretly Chen Cang." Chen Guang came up with another idea, "Let's still concentrate a group of people and use them to attract the attention of the Manchus." My men were able to deliver weapons to a warehouse somewhere in Canton in advance, and they would be wrapped in oiled paper and placed in barrels filled with cement. The real hands-on people first entered other cities in batches for reasons such as trading, and then divided into small teams to arrive in Guangzhou one after another. When we have arrived, we will send someone to bring them over, go to the warehouse and take out the weapons, and then start an uprising. In this way, our people are scattered, and even if the Manchus are aware of it, it will be difficult to catch them all. Moreover, the location of the warehouse, who is involved, and who they are in contact with when, each team member does not know. Even if someone leaks secrets, or even infiltrates the Manchu secret agents, we will not have much to lose. ”

This construction was approved by everyone, so everyone discussed it together for a long time, and the relevant details of this plan gradually became clear.

"Okay, let's not discuss more details here." Chen Guang finally said, "These details should be discussed in the specific implementation group, and the various groups should not inquire about each other's content......

……

In addition to the uprising itself, propaganda work was also taken very seriously. Therefore, of course, the propaganda manuscript after the uprising should also be well prepared. The release is available in both English and Chinese. A copy in English by Sun. Middle. Shan's teacher, Dr. He Qi, and the Englishman Lai De, the chief writer of Hong Kong's "Dechen Western News", drafted the content of the document basically requires Western countries to recognize the rebels as belligerent groups and enjoy the right of neutrality of all countries. As for the manuscript of internal publicity, it was completed by Mr. Zhu Qi.

Mr. Zhu Qi is the nephew of Mr. Zhu Ciqi, and Mr. Zhu Ciqi is the teacher of Kang Youwei, a historical celebrity who just made a story about the book on the bus a few months ago. This Mr. Zhu Ciqi's fame is only a person, and he is the biggest official but the county order, but the level of teaching students is absolutely first-class, he not only taught Kang Youwei, but also taught Liang Yaoshu, the last champion in Guangdong. His nephew, Mr. Zhu Qi's writing, is naturally not a problem. Therefore, Mr. Sun handed over this task to Mr. Zhu Qi.

As a literati, Zhu Qi's level is quite good. But he was not trained in secrecy. He actually drafted such an important manuscript at home......

……

Around the Chung Yeung Festival in 1895, various action groups began to enter Guangzhou. Before that, Mr. Sun and others had already entered Guangzhou City in the name of practicing medicine. Chen Guang, on the other hand, rented a warehouse in the south of the city a little earlier and transported a large number of goods to it.

The first time a large-scale uprising was organized, the inexperienced problem of the Xingzhong Society was quite strict. First of all, there was a big problem with the arrival time of each group, and I don't know what happened, and many groups did not arrive on time.

According to the plan, each group had its own goal, either to attack the governor's yamen, or to attack the governor's yamen, or to attack the admiral's yamen, and all of them were in charge of the yamen. There are also people to intercept the green battalion in the city, and people to attack the flag boundary (the station of the Eight Banners). Now that the manpower is not available, the whole plan immediately has a loophole.

And in order not to attract attention, when each team arrives, they first find a place to stay, and then there are special personnel to quietly transfer the weapons to them. According to the original plan, the personnel would arrive and get their weapons in a little more than two days, but there was only half a day left before the scheduled uprising, and the team responsible for attacking the most important target, the Liangguang Governor's Palace, had not yet arrived.

"What's going on? Did you get it? Mr. Sun asked Lu Haodong, who was in charge of liaison.

"Sir, I see. Their boat in Qingyuan was supposed to arrive yesterday, but the boat broke down on the way, and they couldn't find a big boat for a while, so they had to come on foot. Li Chongguang was in that team, and he asked people to rush over in a small boat to say that it was estimated that they would not arrive until tomorrow. Sir, it looks like the time of the uprising is going to be postponed a bit. ”

Mr. Sun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Haodong, Shaobai, you are tired of informing you that you have arrived at the team, and the plan is postponed until tomorrow, no, they come on foot, there must be a problem with the body, I am afraid that it will be postponed for a day." You go and tell the other squads, the day after tomorrow, you still get into trouble after hearing the gunshots from the Governor's Palace. In addition, the weapons have already been issued, so they should take care of themselves so that no one will find out. ”

"Yes, sir. Then I'll go first. ”

……

Mr. Sun was very worried about whether the people who knew how to make a mess after getting the weapons were made, and it turned out that his worries were really reasonable. The ancients were full of energy, then declined, and then exhausted. After hearing that the operation had been postponed for two days, the party heroes immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then the problem arose.

"Old Seven, let's go out to Lele tonight?" A member of the party shouted.

"Okay, fifth brother, call a few more brothers to go with you. When you enter the provincial capital, it's time to be happy. Another member of the party responded.

"Mr. Sun told me not to go out at will." Another person said.

"Mr. Sun is too careful. In fact, if you want me to say, if we people stay and don't go out, it is more likely to arouse suspicion. Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we're just going out for a stroll, not making trouble. The brothers stayed in such a room for a long time, and they were suffocated to death. The old seven replied disappreciatively.

That Mr. Liu thought about it and felt that what Lao Qi said seemed to make some sense. And other people also came to help. So Mr. Liu had no idea for a while, and finally agreed, just mentioning: "Come back early, don't make trouble outside." ”

……

"Your Excellency the Governor, I have obtained this secret report, and I dare not hide it, so I have come to report it to my lordship." One of them reported to the governor of Liangguang, Tan Zhonglin.

"Li Dutong, what is the matter?" Although Li Dutong said eagerly, Tan Zhonglin still looked calm.

"My lord, some people have come out to humble their posts, saying that a group of chaotic parties are preparing to rebel in Guangzhou." Li Dutong replied.

"Oh, who shot at you, and what did he say?"

"My lord, the person who came to the head is called Zhu Xiang, who is the nephew of Mr. Zhu Jiujiang, and has a background in lifting people. He said that his younger brother Zhu Qi was confused for a while, and was bewitched by the chaotic party and joined the chaotic party. Recently, the rebels were planning to rebel and let his brother draft a proclamation. His younger brother had already repented at this time, and knew that he was on the thief ship, and he did not dare to come to sue the official, so he asked his brother to come and take the lead. Here is the secret report brought by his brother Zhu Xiang......"

Tan Zhonglin took the secret report and looked at it, sighed and said, "Zhu Jiujiang's academic character is honestly quite good. It's just that he is too eager for utilitarianism and pays more attention to virtue, after all, he is a little biased, and he can't be considered moderate. Therefore, the children of the students who teach are also the same. You see, Kang Youwei, who has been making noise in the capital recently to change the law, is also his student. This Zhu Qi, the article drafted for the chaotic party, although it is not as good as ...... But the writing is not bad, and he is also a talented person. ”

Tan Zhonglin originally wanted to say that although the writing of this article is not as good as "Seeking Wu Cao", it is also quite impressive, but thinking about it, although Guangxu is nominally pro-government, it is actually the Empress Dowager Cixi who is in power. So with a little ambiguity, I brought it over.

"This Zhu Qi can write a draft for the rebellious party, and this article is still written like this...... Where can you see any remorse! I think it's probably because the elder brother found out that his younger brother was rebelling, so he came up with such a story. However, the Master is the Master, and we cannot spoil such righteous deeds. It's just that Sun Wen is actually a chaotic party, which is very unexpected for me. Speaking of which, this Sun Wen is a good doctor, his medical skills are quite good, and in the past few months, his medical skills have become well-known in Guangzhou. I really didn't expect that such a person is also a chaotic party. The beautiful lady ......" Tan Zhonglin shook his head and said, "Since it is a rebel, then send someone to arrest it." ”R1058
