Chapter 4: The First Meeting of the Father of the Nation

Zhao Erxun had already seen at this time that this Manchu prince was indeed a capable person, and he had just returned from Germany and was full of ambition to do something. But the question is, can Zaitao do it? Although Lafayette suddenly ordered to open foreign affairs this year, Zhao Erxun, who has been in the officialdom for decades, is a little skeptical. He didn't hit Zaitao's self-confidence, and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Baylor is wise." ”

Zaitao said: "I can't do these things alone, Lord Zhao governs the place, and he has to help the master." First of all, the land has been chosen, and the place for making weapons should be in a sparsely populated area outside the city, and the military academy must be set up on the outskirts of the city. ”

Zhao Erxun responded, he knew that he should do his best to support Zaitao, whether he could do it or not was Zaitao's thing, but if he missed this young man's plan because of his mistakes here, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Zaitao paused for a while, and suddenly said: "I don't believe it, only he Yuan Shikai can train in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

As the Japanese said, Zaitao came back from Germany, and his concept was also deeply influenced by the Germans, he believed in the power of artillery to grab quickly, and also believed that the quality of soldiers was a major determining factor in the war, so Zaitao's Jihua was similar to Yang Xiaolin, and they were all working hard to build an elite.

Now that they are all starting to run, Zaitao trains his soldiers according to the German army's set, while Yang Xiaolin follows Taizu's set, brainwashing the bandits first and making them understand that Weishenme has a gun.

Zaitao has already ordered a machine from Germany and hired an instructor, and Yang Xiaolin is also negotiating with Sun Wen, hoping to use Sun Wen's network resources.

When Sun Wen came to the Northeast, Naokami Songyuan arranged this meeting between him and Yang Xiaolin in a Japanese business in Fushun, this was the first time Yang Xiaolin saw the legendary Sun Wen, compared with the later Mao suit, the current Sun Wen dragged a long braid, wearing Qing Dynasty clothes, giving Yang Xiaolin a very big contrast.

However, he still saw enthusiasm and fortitude in Sun Wen's eyes. Sun Wen has obviously been looking forward to this meeting for a long time, he arrived in Fushun first, Yang Xiaolin waited until the evening when there were few people, and just entered the door, Sun Wen greeted him at once, and hugged his fists very well: "This is Brother Yang, right?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's heart throbbed a little, and he was busy clasping his fists at Sun Wen: "Mr. Zhongshan, although Yang is in this mountain and forest, he has long heard of Mr. Zhongshan's name, and it is an honor to meet Mr. Zhongshan today." ”

The two of them were polite, and Naogami Matsubara came up from the side: "Two, don't say polite words again, you guys are here to discuss big things, to be honest, it's not easy to get you together." You must know that you are all wanted criminals by the imperial court, and the Japanese side wants me to absolutely guarantee the safety of the two of you, so please hurry up! ”

Sun Wen nodded, and then stretched out his hands to Yang Xiaolin and shook them: "Brother Yang, what Songyuan-jun said is very right, if you don't treat me, I won't be polite with Brother Yang, get straight to the point, I want Brother Yang and your brothers to join the Xingzhong Society, I don't know what Brother Yang wants?" ”

Yang Xiaolin really didn't go around the circle: "Mr. Zhongshan asked me to join the Xingzhong Association because I looked up to my Yang, no matter what, Yang is willing to join, from now on, I will work together with Mr. Zhongshan for the rejuvenation of China." ”

When he said this, a smile appeared on Songyuan's face, Sun Wen was also very happy, he originally thought that Yang Xiaolin would offer some conditions, but he didn't expect him to agree so simply, this is really a good thing.

Yang Xiaolin's arm was put on the table: "Mr. Zhongshan, what I want to know now is, what are you going to do next?" Is there any place where Yang can serve? ”…,

Sun Yat-sen said: "Brother Yang, I have prepared an uprising in the south, and now there is a preliminary dawn, if Brother Yang can raise troops in the north to respond, we will definitely make the Manchu court unbearable!" ”

Will Sun Yat-sen's uprising choose to be in the south? This had something to do with the situation in China at that time. After the south was opened up by the foreigners with strong ships and cannons, there were many people with new ideas and new cultures. And most importantly, the Westernization movement in the south is much more mature than in the north.

If I want to talk about one person here, that is Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang. He was the vanguard of the Westernists, as a Han Chinese, he always wanted to get the Manchu court out of the extremely weak, he could be said to have done his best for the Qing Dynasty, and he was still worried about national affairs before he died.

However, history gave Zhang a great mockery and made him a great hero of the Xinhai Revolution. His Lianghu Academy did not cultivate many pillars of the Qing Empire, but it achieved Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Cheng Jiata, Tian Tong and other leaders of the chaotic party; The most modern new army in China that he trained became the main force of the revolutionary army; The Hanyang Arsenal, which he founded, provided a steady stream of advanced weapons to the revolutionary party; The Luhan Railway and the Hankou Port built by him provided a fast service for the revolutionary army to mobilize soldiers.

And most importantly, Zhang Daren's dedication to the development of the economy of Liangguang gave the south enough supplies to launch one uprising after another until it succeeded.

The north is different, in the north the Manchu court is heavily armed, and most of those chaebols in the north see Haode as Yuan Shikai. So now in Sun Yat-sen's view, the conditions for the uprising in the south are much more mature than those in the north, and it is already a very good thing that Yang Xiaolin can wave the flag for him here.

Yang Xiaolin pondered for a while after hearing this, he also knew that the north was the Shili of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if he helped Sun Yat-sen wave the flag, he might be the first person who would not let go of himself would be Yuan Shikai!

Yuan Shikai is still cowering in the arms of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Yang Xiaolin will definitely not treat this person as if he does not exist. That's not a sick cat, it's a man-eating tiger! He is a bandit Yuan Shikai will turn a blind eye to himself, if he really declares that he is the so-called chaotic party, I am afraid he will not let himself stop like this.

"Okay, Mr. Zhongshan, don't worry, as long as you have a certain momentum in the south, I will definitely raise troops here. I don't dare to boast about anything else, it shouldn't be a problem to lay down Mukden. ”

Although this is simple, it is inconclusive what kind of momentum he is talking about. Yang Xiaolin did not give Sun Yat-sen a clear answer,

Sun Yat-sen smiled, of course he could hear what Yang Xiaolin meant, but he was already very satisfied that the other party could agree to this for the first time. Just as he didn't tell Yang Xiaolin what he was going to do in the uprising in the south, the two sides are not too familiar now, and they must have reservations.

Yang Xiaolin continued: "Also, I hope Mr. Zhongshan can provide me with some support for the future development of this mountain." ”

Sun Yat-sen glanced at Naokami Matsubara, and then said, "Brother Yang, just say what you want, and I will help you find a way." ”

Yang Xiaolin said: "Mr. Zhongshan, don't call me Brother Yang, just call me Xiaolin." I want a group of skilled lathes, and to tell Mr. Nakayama that I plan to unify the caliber of my rifles and make some simple machines so that I can produce bullets myself. ”

Before Sun Yat-sen could speak, he went straight to Matsubara and spoke: "Kobayashi-kun, this is completely unnecessary, if you need ammunition, you can talk to me, I think our Imperial Japanese Army will help you." ”

Yang Xiaolin glanced at Sun Yat-sen and found that Sun Yat-sen was silent now, and he immediately understood one thing, the current father of the country is also a flower child, counting on the fate everywhere to live a life. For the Japanese, a big benefactor, Sun Yat-sen did not dare to offend. …,

Seeing through this, Yang Xiaolin did not have the slightest contempt for Sun Yat-sen, it was all mixed up to this point, and Mr. Zhongshan still insisted on his ideals, which can only make people more admired. However, the journeyman himself still wants it, and letting the Japanese master their own bullets is equivalent to handing over their guns to the Japanese, and he will go to war with little Japan in the future, how can he hand over the guns?

What's more, Yang Xiaolin doesn't just want to make bullets.

Yang Xiaolin turned his head to Matsubara: "Matsubara-kun, I must be able to make the bullet myself, once you have a conflict with the Russian army, the Russians will definitely not let me go, I will be surrounded by the Russians immediately, if I can't make the bullet myself, I don't know if I can hold out until you give me new ammunition." Besides, when the time comes, if conditions permit, my men can also supply the Japanese army. ”

Naokami Matsubara thought for a while, and didn't answer Yang Xiaolin immediately. Sun Wen spoke at this time: "Matsubara-kun, what Xiaolin said is very reasonable, and we can find skilled workers from Nanyang very smoothly, as long as the Japanese side allows them, they can come from Korea." ”

Naogami Matsubara nodded: "Okay, then that's it, I promise you that I will try my best to deal with the North Korean side for you." Since there is no disagreement between the two of them on the general conditions, let us discuss some details, and I have been entrusted by the Japanese Government to express to the two of you that we, the Empire of Japan, will provide you with all necessary help, and we also wish to suggest an Asia for a true Asian. ”

After saying that, Naogami Matsubara left, and he did not discuss with Yang Xiaolin about what Yang Xiaolin would do after the war between Japan and Russia, he thought in his heart that as long as Yang Xiaolin and Sun Yat-sen cooperated, he would not be able to get rid of the control of the Great Japanese Empire over him.

Sun Yat-sen and Yang Xiaolin had a detailed discussion all night and exchanged views on the current situation. Sun Yat-sen also knew that the current Manchu Qing was not so easy to overthrow, although he did not say the specific Jihua of his uprising in the south, but Sun Yat-sen said that if the uprising was successful, he planned to elect Li Hongzhang as president.

This really surprised Yang Xiaolin, he finally knew that the father's name of the country was not for nothing, what was the purpose of the rebellion? "For the rise of China!" Sun Yat-sen will definitely give such an answer, his rebellion is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for the prosperity and strength of China, without the slightest personal idea in it, which ordinary people simply can't do.

Yang Xiaolin asked himself, he couldn't do it.

It's great! The greatness made Yang Xiaolin feel his insignificance, isn't it shameless to use the great sentiments of such a great person? What's even more shameless is that Yang Xiaolin found that he didn't have a little guilt and uneasiness in his heart, but on the contrary, he had irrepressible excitement. For a bandit, money is easy, and the so-called gunshots go off for 10,000 taels of gold. And talent is quite valuable, after Sun Yat-sen promised to help, he can solve the biggest problem for himself. As long as he helps him get people, he won't promise him to see the situation in the future. Yang Xiaolin felt that he really seemed to be more and more like a beast. However, it is still not obvious on the surface, the two talked for a whole night, and Sun Yat-sen's impression of Yang Xiaolin was also very good. He promised Yang Xiaolin and the others a guarantee that they would be able to come to Yulun Mountain within three months, and also said that at the end of today, they would hold a meeting of the Xingzhong Society in Tokyo, Japan, and that if Yang Xiaolin had the conditions, he hoped that Yang Xiaolin would also attend it.

This was the first meeting between the two people, after all, this was not the territory of the Japanese, and the Russians and the Manchu shili were also very large in Fushun, and when it was not yet light, Naokami Matsubara came in again and urged them to leave quickly.
