Of course, Mr. Sun Wen expected that his first uprising would fail, but the failure of the first uprising was completely unexpected.

The newly established "Xingzhong Society" simply did not have enough manpower to do such consumption. Moreover, Mr. Sun did not plan to consume the people of the "Xingzhonghui" as disposable items. Because in that era, most of the people who could be moved by the ideas of "nationalism" and "democratic government" were literate or even people with some Western education. Generally speaking, such people come from wealthy families, and they are not only the precious wealth of the revolution, but also the financiers of the "Xingzhong Society". So such a person cannot be consumed as cannon fodder in an operation that is doomed to failure. So for this operation, Mr. Sun had to rely on the allies.

Mr. Sun's first ally was in Hong Kong.

Hongmen is a gang organization that originated in the early Qing Dynasty, and it is also the most influential gang among the Chinese. He also has some names that everyone may be more familiar with, for example, those who often watch Hong Kong police movies must know the so-called "serious crime squad" in the Hong Kong police. This "Serious Crime Unit" is just a colloquial name, and its official name is the "Triad and Organized Crime Investigation Bureau". And the "triad" here is another name for "Hongmen". And friends who like to read martial arts novels must remember Chen Jinnan, Chen Zongrud's master, Wei Xiaobao, and Wei Xiang's "Heaven and Earth Society", which is also one of the many names of Hongmen.

There are many theories about the origin of Hongmen. According to Mr. Sun's later statement, it is as follows:

"Hongmen, founded in the Ming Dynasty, began in the Kangxi era. Before Gai Kangxi, the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty tried to restore their lives, swore not to submit to the Qing Dynasty, sacrificed their lives to righteousness, repeatedly rose and fell, and fought desperately, but they could not save the death of the Ming Dynasty. In the era of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty was prosperous, and the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty became crippled. The second and third widows, seeing that the general trend has gone and are irretrievable, want to use the roots of nationalism to pass on to future generations, so they form a group with the purpose of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, so that those who can rise in the future can be used as funding. The original intention of the creation of this Flood Gate. However, it must be kept in great secrecy, so that the government may not find out. The minions of the government are the officials, and the eyes and ears of the officials are the gentry, so all the so-called scholars and the like should be taboo and must be strictly eliminated, and then their roots can be preserved, and they can grow under the despotic government of the alien race. What is the way to establish a meeting under these conditions? It will also spread the idea of the nation-state with deeds that can help the whole masses in their psychology. Therefore, the visit of Hongmen is based on acting, and it is the most moving for the masses to watch and listen. It spreads ideas, with grievances, and revenge is expressed, which is the easiest to make scholars and doctors disgusted and avoid it. Its consolidation group is to give to each other with fraternity, so that each other can take care of each other and help each other in times of trouble, which is most in line with the needs of homeless travelers in the rivers and lakes. In the end, it was to spread nationalism in order to achieve its goal of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. ”

Hongmen since its establishment. It has always called for "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" and adhered to the anti-Qing position. Therefore, there is a Qing generation, and in almost every anti-Qing uprising, you can see the Hongmen people. During the Taiping Rebellion, Hongmen has been fighting side by side with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a comrade-in-arms. For example, Luo Xuan, an important general in the Taiping Army, and the officers and soldiers of the Navy led by him are all brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society. In 1853, they rebelled in Qingpu and Shanghai, echoing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and jointly opposed the Qing Dynasty. Such an organization, which has been targeting the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, is naturally a natural ally of the Xingzhong Society.

Of course, the Qing government naturally wanted to crack down such an organization. Especially after the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing government strengthened the suppression of the Tiandihui of the two Guangzhous. It's just that, after all, the Qing government is a feudal regime with imperial power not lower than the county, and the attack on the Jianghu gang is always unfocused. Therefore, although many people were killed, and the organization of Hongmen in Liangguang was damaged, the various halls still hid, and soon after, the limelight passed, and these halls became active again.

Mr. Sun's classmate, Mr. Zheng Shiliang, was born in Hongmen, and later met Mr. Sun when he was studying medicine at the Hong Kong College of Western Medicine, which later became the University of Hong Kong. In 1888, he dropped out of school and returned to his hometown, opened a pharmacy in his hometown, made many friends, and soon became the leader of the Hongmen in Huizhou with his outstanding martial arts skills and righteousness. (Opening a pharmacy, high martial arts, this is quite a bit of Huang Feihong's taste.) ）

Relying on Mr. Yulie's relationship, Mr. Sun met Mr. Yang Quyun, who was quite influential in Hong Kong's Three Points Association, Mr. Yang has always hated the Manchu government for bringing disaster to the country and the people, so the two joined forces and changed the Xingzhong Association established by Mr. Sun in Honolulu to the Hong Kong Xingzhong Association, but when electing the president, the appeal of the foreign Mr. Sun was obviously not strong enough, so Mr. Yang was elected as the first president.

With the support of these associations, Mr. Sun's Xingzhong Society also had the manpower to rebel. At this time, Chen Guang also received a telegram from the MacDonald consortium, in which he asked Chen Guang not to rush back to North America for the time being, but to stay in Hong Kong for the time being, and coordinate cooperation with the "Xingzhong Society", focusing on arranging for some people, including Mr. Sun, to leave Hong Kong after the failure of the uprising.

"We believe that the uprising was too hasty and had little chance of success. But Sun is very important to the company, and you have to make sure that Sun can leave Hong Kong safely and travel to North America afterwards. In order to do this successfully, we believe that it is best for you to join the 'Xingzhong Society'. This is what was stated in the message.

It is not difficult to join the "Xingzhong Society", because the strict process of this organization is not high, and because Chen Guang knows how to fight, can contact weapons, and has a firm anti-Qing stance, compared with others, he can definitely be regarded as an anti-Qing old-timer. So Mr. Sun has also been asking Li Chongguang to do his work, hoping to attract him to the club. When Chen Guang revealed a little intention to join the Xingzhong Society, Mr. Sun immediately sent him an invitation in person. So Chen Guang joined the Xingzhonghui smoothly and became the military advisor of the Xingzhonghui.

Yes, in the Xingzhong Society, Chen Guang's position is directly called a military advisor. And he was mainly responsible for the improvement of the plan of the uprising.

This living Chen Guang is not proficient. Back then, in the Taiping Army, what he did was to stubbornly rush to the front line to cut people, and it was not his turn to do anything about marching and arranging formations. Later, when he came to Heishui, he did learn a lot of new knowledge, but most of those knowledge were also how to be a bodyguard, how to launch and thwart terrorist attacks and the like.

But even so, when Chen Guang saw the uprising plan of the "Xingzhonghui", he couldn't help but shake his head. Because this plan is so designed to be speechless.

Here's what the plan looks like:

Yang Quyun led about 300 members of the 3 o'clock congregation of the Hong Kong Parliamentary Party to gather in Hong Kong on the night before the uprising (on the evening of 25 October) and took a late passenger ferry from Guangdong to Guangzhou, while Chen Guang was responsible for smuggling weapons and other things to Guangzhou in advance and storing them in a warehouse on the wharf. When the 300-strong assault party reached the provincial capital, they took out their guns from there and first captured the important government offices.

The congregations from other parts of the world gathered in Canton, and they were specially prepared to buy two boats to transport the troops. When the uprising was launched, the support teams of Beijiang, Shunde, and Xiangshan (more than 1,000 people) scattered into the city in advance would respond in groups. These support teams are basically triad members hired for money. Chen Qing, who had rushed back from Yokohama, Japan, led a bomb squad to throw grenades at various military points to increase the momentum. The rebels will wrap their arms around their arms with red belts, and the slogan of the uprising is the well-known slogan of "eliminate violence and peace".

"It's a big problem." Chen Guang said unceremoniously, "First of all, it is easy for so many people to enter Guangzhou to attract the attention of the Manchus. More importantly, the success of such a large-scale operation must be based on the unawareness of the Manchus. But what can you do to guarantee that the Manchus will not be aware of the fact that so many people are involved? ”

This plan was strongly recommended by Mr. Yang Quyun, and seeing that this plan was suspected by Chen Guang, Mr. Yang naturally wanted to stand up and defend himself, so he said:

"Senior Chen, the people who participated in this uprising are all very reliable, and no one will tell the Manchus."

But this statement was immediately refuted by Chen Guang.

"In many cases, the breach of confidentiality does not occur because someone has informed, but because the organizers themselves are not careful enough to inadvertently leak it. It has not been a year or two since Mr. Yang organized the Furen Literary Society in Hong Kong and openly propagated that he would overthrow the Manchus by revolutionary means. The Manchus were not without spies in Hong Kong, and if even Mr. Yang was not closely watched by them, they would be a little too stupid. And organizing an operation of this magnitude could easily be noticed by the secret agents of the Qing court. Moreover, Mr. Yang intends to use the people of the Hong Kong Three Points Association directly. In Hong Kong, the activities of anti-Qing organizations such as the Three Points Society were often made public, and these people were sure to be followed by Qing agents. The large-scale activities of these people will certainly make the Qing government more vigilant. In addition, no one has received training in confidentiality, and the possibility of leakage is definitely not small. And I've heard that you've tried other ways to buy arms, so you're sure to know that you're buying arms in large quantities. So much information was available to the Manchus. Unless the Governor of Liangguang, Tan Zhonglin, is a fool, how can he be defenseless? ”

"Then when the Heavenly King was against the Qing Dynasty, they also involved a lot of people, how could they keep the secret?" Mr. Yang is clearly not convinced.

"When King Nan was on a mission, he didn't say a word about rebellion, until the church gradually organized, and in the process it was proven reliable that the secret of our rebellion was known. There are many similar religions among the people, and we deliberately hide in the poor countryside, so the possibility of losing the secret is naturally small. And even if the Manchus knew about it, and they sent troops over, it would take a long time along the way, and we would be able to get information, either transfer immediately, or simply concentrate our forces on fighting them. But what about your plans? If the Manchu Tartars are prepared, it is enough to ambush the men and horses and wait for your ambush. ”

"So, sir, is there any remedy for this plan?" Mr. Sun asked.

"There are still some, but not necessarily with very good results." Chen Guang said. R1058
