isH 230, Jin Dan a grain of longevity

It is said that Yang Du left Beijing with a check, and first came to Henan along the Jinghan Line to visit Yuan Shikai, who played the role of a fisherman in Huanshang Village, Beihuan, Zhangde City. No pop-up window update fast //

Although Yuan Shikai plays the role of a fisherman, this fisherman is really a big name, living in a mansion, chewing ginseng, and raising famous horses. There are also a lot of people serving around, in addition to the porter, housekeepers, slaves, and maidservants, there are also many bodyguards in the open and in the dark. It was not easy to see this fisherman, and it took Yang Du a lot of effort to sit down in the living room. Waiting for a cup of fragrant tea to be drunk into white water, Yuan Shikai finally turned out of the backyard.

He wore a bamboo hat on his head and a lily coat on his body, and he could tell that he had just returned from fishing in the river. Because the edict of the imperial court's dismissal said that Yuan Shikai was "not cured of a foot disease", he ordered him to be vacant and ordered to return to his hometown to recuperate, so he deliberately pretended to be lame when he walked.

Although Yuan Shikai is very involved in the play, his short and round figure, the silk tunic exposed between the clothes, as well as his majestic spirit and burning gaze are far from ordinary fishermen. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed loudly: "No wonder the magpie at the door is chirping early this morning, it turns out that the old man Xiangqi is visiting, and the humble house is really full of brilliance!" It just so happened that I caught a red carp weighing more than two catties just now, and I must appreciate my face and stay for a light meal! ”

Yang Du secretly laughed in his heart, but he quickly stood up at the moment and replied respectfully: "Lord Zhongtang is an honor to keep a meal, how dare you refuse!" ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand: "Now the old man is just a common man, not a Zhongtang adult!" As he spoke, he sat down on the Taishi chair on the left.

Yang Du was still very respectful: "Lord Zhongtang is just ordered to return to his hometown to recuperate, once the foot disease is healed, he will definitely return to the military aircraft." ”

Yuan Shikai didn't correct Yang Du anymore, but just said casually: "Sit down, sit down, you're welcome." Is the old man Xiangqi in good health now? ”

Yang Du sat down sideways: "The family teacher is still in good health, but since last winter, Zhang Wenxianggong (Zhang Zhidong), Sun Wenzhenggong (Sun Jianai) and others have passed away one after another, and the old adults have withered one after another, and he is inevitably a little panicked." ”

Yuan Shikai said: "The old man heard that Jingshi University is far away from the hustle and bustle, the scenery is beautiful, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is the most suitable for health preservation. The old man of Xiangqi lives in the meantime, writes all day long, and has no quarrel with the world, so why worry about it? And the great virtue will live a long life, and he doesn't have to be like this. ”

Yang Du sighed: "

Yuan Shikai also sighed: "The old man is fifty years old this year, and he has retired to the countryside to raise his scabies, so he can understand that the root of the disease in old age was caused when he was young and vigorous. It's just that people are no longer young, reminiscing about the past, but regretting it in vain! ”

Yang Du said with admiration on his face: "Lord Zhongtang abandoned his pen when he was young, crisscrossed North China, Northeast China, and North Korea, licked blood on the head of the knife, and took fame on horseback. Now a little illness is just some dark injuries, which is not a good thing, but now the weather is a little bad, and it is inevitable that it will get in the way. Once the autumn wind is strong and Hu Ma is fat, Lord Zhongtang will immediately slash his sword, but I am afraid that those young people in the city will not be able to catch up! ”

Yuan Shikai laughed a few times: "Then you will be lucky!" It's just that the old man doesn't know what advice he has for coming this time? ”

Yang Du took out an envelope from his sleeve, put it on the table and pushed it over: "The family teacher heard that Lord Zhongtang has a lot of fine Korean ginseng hidden here, so he ordered to come down and ask for one or two, leaving it for him to continue his life in the future." I wonder if Lord Zhongtang can cut his love? ”

Yuan Shikai looked Yang Du up and down, and said slowly: "The old man of Korean ginseng does have some, but it is not enough to renew his life, how can he share the profit with others?" ”

Yang Du said with a smile: "Lord Zhongtang doesn't have to worry, the family teacher knows that you may still have concerns now, so you are not in a hurry to pick up the goods, but just pay part of the deposit in advance." When Nakado-sama recovers one day, and the Korean ginseng still has a surplus, as long as he doesn't forget the deceased. ”

"Okay then." Yuan Shikai finally nodded in agreement.

Of course, Yang Du would not be naïve to think that Yuan Shikai had really caught a big red carp and was ready to feast with him. Seeing that he agreed, he didn't bother too much, and got up to say goodbye immediately. Yuan Shikai didn't force him to stay, and suddenly asked when he was sent out of the hall door: "A few years ago, when the old man was in the Rongshang Mansion of the Academy, he had a relationship with Baixi. At that time, the old man asked him if a constitutional monarchy would work in my Qing Dynasty, and he told me that he would know in six years. Now that four years have passed, I wonder if he still sticks to his old opinion? ”

Yang Du bowed and clenched his fists: "Before coming, Baixi also talked about this issue with me. He thinks that at the end of next year and the beginning of the next year, it will inevitably come to light, and he also asks Lord Zhongtang to inspect it at that time. ”

Waiting for Yang Du to walk away, two young men walked out from the back of the hall. One of them, who was very young, only in his early twenties, reached out and took the envelope on the table, opened it and exclaimed: "Wow, 50,000 US dollars, it's still a cashier's check from Citibank!" If you want to buy Korean ginseng, you have to buy a lot of it! ”

The one next to him was obviously the elder brother, who had more knowledge in the end, and sneered when he heard this: "Kewen, you don't really think that people are here to buy Korean ginseng, right?" 50,000 US dollars, exchanged for silver, there are 100,000 taels, so much silver, what kind of Korean ginseng can't be bought in Beijing? Why come all the way to Zhangde? People are not buying Korean ginseng, but buying layers of official skin! ”

After that, he looked at Yuan Shikai with some smugness and some doubts: "Father, Wang Minyun is seventy or eighty years old, why do you still want to squeeze on the official road?" Not afraid of discounting? ”

In Beijing officialdom, Yuan Shikai was once known as Huan Wen, and Huan Wen and Huan Xuan's father and son all engaged in the trick of seeking power and usurping the throne in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so it can be seen what kind of goods Yuan's father and son are.

Yuan Shikai laughed: "Keding, don't laugh at Kewen, you brothers are all half a bucket of water." When he sat back on the Taishi chair, he explained to his two sons: "Whose staff is Yang Du, he naturally runs errands for whom." I said that the old man Xiangqi is just a reason, as for who he refers to, he knows, I know, why bother to say it thoroughly? ”

Yuan Keding was a little puzzled: "Sun Yuanqi, the left waiter of the school? Although his backers Zhang Nanpi and Sun Shouzhou died of illness one after another, he enjoyed a good reputation at home and abroad, and he did not offend anyone. Why did he suddenly want to take refuge in his father? ”

Yuan Kewen finally seized the opportunity to choke Yuan Keding: "Why? Because the court can't do without his father, and his father will soon return to the military aircraft, so he came to stammer! ”

"You know what?" Yuan Keding glared at his younger brother: "I mean, first of all, Sun Yuanqi doesn't need to talk to anyone, he is famous in the academic world, and he is a signboard of the imperial court, no one wants to touch him, because it is not good to move him, but it will cause a commotion."

"Secondly, even if he wants to stammer, he can stammer, as much as he can, Zaifeng, Yixuan, Shixu, Natong and others, why bother to burn his father's cold stove? Although it is a matter of time before my father recovers, who knows if it will be half a year or a year, or three or five years?

"Third, even if he came to slap his father, why did he spend so much money? You must know that when other people come to accept their fathers, they usually only pay three or five thousand taels of filial piety, and tens of thousands of taels is a big deal. He sent 50,000 US dollars at once, which is the mastermind! ”

Yuan Shikai nodded slightly in appreciation: "What Keding said is good. It seems that this Sun Yuanqi is a wonderful person, and when he returns to Beijing one day, he must have a good chat with him. ”

Although Yuan Shikai felt that the $50,000 was a bit hot, he still accepted it all. It seems that from ancient times to the present, the big heroes are the masters who collect a lot of money without mercy, including Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Tong Meng Association.

It is said that when he was propagating the revolution in Nanyang, he agreed with the local overseas Chinese leaders that in order to keep it secret, if he needed to raise funds in the future, he would send a code directly: A means 10,000 yuan, B 20,000 yuan, C 30,000 yuan, D 40,000 yuan, and E 50,000 yuan. As a result, every time the cannon sent a telegram, it was either D or E, and there were no A, B, and C below D. The overseas Chinese leaders were frightened, but they couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Fortunately, only E was agreed at that time, and if X, Y, and Z were agreed, we wouldn't live!

Yang Du saw Yuan Shikai immediately go east to Japan and was about to send money to Sun Yat-sen, but found that things were a little tricky: in the first month of the second year of Xuantong, the alliance was divided.

As a large revolutionary group, the League had two fatal flaws at the beginning of its existence: financial and personnel.

Let's start with finance.

When Sun Yat-sen first founded the Xingzhong Society, he imitated secret societies such as the Tiandihui and Hongmen, all of which had the character of an underworld and relied on gray income and even illegal income to maintain their own operations. Since the Xingzhong Society is known as a revolutionary organization, it naturally cannot use extortion, kidnapping and prostitution to obtain funds for its activities, and Sun Yat-sen's initiative was to collect donations from overseas Chinese. Whether it is a wish made by an official or begged bitterly, in short, it has indeed received a certain amount of funding.

There are only more than 100 people in the Xingzhong Society, so it is naturally not a problem to make ends meet. However, there are several thousand members of the League, and in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, they also have to run newspapers, engage in propaganda, rent venues, buy firearms, and cause uprisings...... You have to spend money everywhere, you don't have a stable financial source, and you still rely on fundraising. No matter how many and rich overseas Chinese are, people's money does not fall from the sky! With your hard-earned hard-earned money, your grandson cannon flickered a few words, and he wanted to take it away for you to squander?

Just like any dynasty or anywhere, no matter how poor ordinary people are, they will not delay the leaders from wearing gold and silver, brocade clothes and food. Although the League is short of funds, the organ newspaper "Minbao" is short of funds, and often eats the last meal but does not have the next meal; But Sun Yat-sen is very chic, his daily work is to eat and drink spicy food with overseas Chinese leaders, envision the bright future of the Republic of China, and play Lori in his spare time to save ignorant and lost girls. Such an uneven bitterness and happiness will inevitably intensify internal contradictions.

Some people will say: Since Sun Cannon can go to the fate, is it possible that everyone else in the alliance is dumb? Of course, no one in the alliance wants to sit and eat, and some people do volunteer to go out to raise donations, but Sun Yat-sen started early, became famous, and had a wide range of contacts, and overseas Chinese only recognized this time-honored brand, and others did not have much effect; Moreover, Sun Yat-sen regarded fundraising as his wife and concubine, and never allowed others to interfere.

Tao Chengzhang once did not believe in evil, ignored Sun Yat-sen's disgust and dissuasion, and went to Nanyang to raise donations. Sun Yat-sen wrote directly to the leaders of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, alleging that Tao Chengzhang was a royalist and Qing court secret agent. Tao Chengzhang was so busy for several months that he raised more than 3,000 yuan, which was not enough for food, lodging and ferry tickets!

Let's talk about personnel.

From the "Alliance", we know that it is an alliance. In fact, it was formed by the Huaxing Society, the Xingzhong Society, the Revival Society, the Science Tutorial Institute and other anti-Qing organizations. At the beginning of its establishment, there was nothing to do with Sun Yat-sen, and he was still in Europe and the United States at that time. Later, when he came to Japan, he was promoted to the prime minister of the League. Why was Sun Yat-sen promoted? In Tao Chengzhang et al.'s "Opinions of the Members of the Seven Provinces Alliance", the reasons are very clear:

"When the alliance was first established, he had no merit, and my comrade Mao Mao directly elected him as the prime minister, but listening to his big words, one thought that the two Guanghongmen were under his control, and the other thought that there were many other organs in each port in Nanyang, and overseas Chinese respected it, huge sums of money could be collected, and it was a big dream, and that's it."

To put it bluntly, it is because Sun Yat-sen is rich and connected, and everyone also hopes that there will be a big financier to provide financial security. So under the banner of money and anti-Qing, although it is well known that Sun Yat-sen has problems such as bullying the world and loving Lori, everyone can only pinch their noses and admit it. Who would have thought that this big guy not only didn't give everyone money, but also prevented everyone from making money, so what use did he have? In addition, there are often frictions between various groups due to different ideas and entanglements of interests, which leads to more and more differences, and there have been two major "upside-down waves" within the alliance alone.

At the beginning of this year, the cooperation between the Liberation Society and the Alliance finally came to an end, and Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang, and others rebuilt the Liberation Association in Tokyo, Japan, with Zhang Taiyan as president and Tao Chengzhang as vice president, and its backbone still included Li Xiehe, Shen Junye, Wei Lan, etc., and the purpose was still to oppose the Qing revolution.

Sun Yat-sen was not willing to be lonely, and formed a branch of the League in San Francisco, but the name was changed to "Chinese Revolutionary Party", and the oath was also changed to "abolish the Tartar Qing Dynasty, establish the Republic of China, and implement the doctrine of people's livelihood", which was slightly different from the League of "expelling the Tartars, restoring China, founding the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights".

At present, the League is divided into three parts: the League, the Liberation Society, and the Revolutionary Party, and Sun Yat-sen is not in Tokyo. For a while, Yang Du was a little confused: how to spend the huge amount of money in his hand?
