Chapter 215 The Eleventh Task Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao 7
In troubled times, some people stand up, and some people fly and dogs. Well, he, Lu Renbing, is that fly. He had a hunch that if he really managed to infiltrate Mr. Qiu Jin's team, he would definitely be caught, and then he would die heroically.
He is just a passer-by, and Agui himself has the fate of being shot for others. So don't be strong. It is better to move as far away from these revolutionary parties as possible. They are the protagonists of this era, and the protagonist's aura is terribly strong. But the role of passerby cannon fodder that this protagonist needs is also terrible.
It's better to stay away, he is Mr. Lu Xun's Agui, and he may also be the old bolt who is looking for blood steamed buns for his son. Anyway, it can't be the protagonist in the center of the stage, in the spotlight.
Out of the inn, Lu Renbing set up his beloved carriage, slipped out of the city, and went straight to Hangzhou.
The city of Hangzhou in this era was very prosperous, and there were countless rich literati and artists, Lu Renbing wandered here for two months, and sold the remaining seven scrolls in his hand to buyers who knew the goods, and Lu Renbing actually accumulated 91,000 silver dollars in silver tickets.
Lu Renbing had the heart to take these silver tickets, turned his face and went back to Weizhuang, and bought some land to be a rich man. It's a pity that he only has money now, but he has no status and no property. When he returned to Weizhuang, he couldn't keep his assets.
Or continue to break into the beach.
After saving enough money in Hangzhou, Lu Renbing packed up and set off to go to Shanghai Beach, which was now the middle of June 1907 in the foreign calendar, from Hangzhou to Huhai, Lu Renbing drove the car for more than half a month. There is no special reason, that is, the road is not familiar, he has no map, no guide, this year the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway has just started construction.
Lu Renbing walked all the way, inquired all the way, and when he arrived in Huhai, it was already early July. Huhai is now a million-inhabited city, although it is still very different from the magic capital of later generations. But compared with Shaoxing and Hangzhou, it is already an out-and-out modern city.
Lu Renbing's entry into Shanghai in this era is really a bit, and Grandma Liu feels like entering the Grand View Garden. He did not enter the county seat of Shanghai, which was not the center of Shanghai at all, and the concession outside the city was the core of Shanghai.
Lu Renbing first found an inn to put down his luggage, and then got rid of the innkeeper to find someone and sold the carriage and horse. And then it's about wandering around the city. Familiar with the situation, go out early in the morning, go to the teahouse to drink tea, go to the theater to watch a play, or call a rickshaw and run around the street.
has been wandering for half a month, and finally figured out a little bit of the situation.
At this time, Lu Renbing got a message from the newspaper that the Jianhu Woman, who had been with him a few times before, had become righteous.
The Jianhu Woman was killed at three o'clock in the morning on July 15 in Shaoxing. When the news reached Shanghai, the Chinese newspapers in Shanghai did not dare to report it at first, but the newspapers in the concession area first published it, and then the major newspapers began to publish the news.
The news published in the newspaper is all for Qiu Jin's grievances, Qiu Jin's close friends and friends published in detail the identity of this feminist pioneer in the newspaper, who is keen on women's liberation and women's education, how can she be a thief?
The officials who handled the case had no evidence at all, and based on the report of a shoddy gentleman, they sent gunmen to arrest Qiu Jin, who was the acting principal of Datong College, and more than 20 students.
Only three days after the arrest, he was hurriedly shot under the manipulation of the Shaoxing prefect Guifu, which was the focus of everyone's attack. Subsequently, Qiu Jin's unjust case spread all over the country through newspapers.
It is said that the magistrate of Shanyin County admired Qiu Jin's heroic spirit very much, and when Guifu ordered him to arrest him for the first time, he used the excuse of delay to give Qiu Jin time to dismiss the teachers and students of Datong Academy. Qiu Jin also had plenty of time to escape, but she chose to face the butcher's knife directly. Perhaps, as the legend goes, the revolutionaries of this era believed that only blood could really awaken the people and shock the Qing court.
Lu Renbing looked at the news in the newspaper and sighed at the heroism of the martyrs. He wondered if he could persuade Qiu Jin to flee if he joined the ranks of Chase Academy.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he probably couldn't do it. Because judging by the news revealed in the newspapers. Qiu Jin had plenty of time to leave Chase Academy and flee to another country. Shaoxing is her maiden home, and she has deep roots here. Even when Guifu wanted to order her arrest, dozens of gentry in the entire Shaoxing Mansion went directly to the prefect Guifuguan and said. The Qiu family itself is also a family of eunuchs for generations, and it is quite influential in the local area.
Qiu Jin's husband, the Wang family, and the Zeng family, one of the most important families in the late Qing Dynasty, were in-laws, and the location of the Wang family was the base camp of the Hunan army. This kind of powerful background may be the reason why Qiu Jin is not afraid of going to prison.
Who knew that she had come across it, the hardcore Guifu of the Qing court who did not play cards according to common sense, and Zhang Zhidong's nephew, Zhang Zengyang, the governor of Zhejiang. Lu Renbing felt that the reason why Guifu wanted to kill Qiu Jin was not because he was loyal to the Qing court or anything. On the contrary, in order to save his life and for the future, he had to kill Qiu Jin.
Guifu himself also supported Chase Academy, especially when Chase Academy was established, he also went in person to take photos with teachers and students.
However, the establishment of Chase Academy itself is full of unfriendliness to Guifu. Xu Xilin and Tao Chengzhang originally regarded Datong Academy as a military backbone training school, but the Qing court did not allow private military academies, so they changed the name of Datong Academy to Normal School, but only set up one subject: gymnastics. It met the conditions of the Qing court to encourage large schools.
But the Datong Academy is a matter of the Military Academy, and it is not a secret in Shaoxing City. Guifu is not ignorant of the things involved. However, in this era, the provinces are running new armies. There is an individual gymnastics school to provide talents for the Zhejiang army, which is not unacceptable for Guifu.
However, after the news came that Xu Xilin assassinated Enming, the governor of Anhui, and led the student army to launch an uprising, Guifu was restless. You must know that many of the student troops led by Xu Xilin are from Datong Academy.
In addition, Enming has the grace of knowing Xu Xilin and believes in Xu Xilin very much, but even so, Xu Xilin also said that he would kill Enming. So what is his fortune in the eyes of Chase School?
In this Shaoxing city, once the uprising planned by Qiu Jin is successful, Guifu will definitely be the first person to be killed. Therefore, Guifu and the revolutionary party are already in an endless situation, and there is no personal friendship here.
When Guifu interrogated Qiu Jin, he asked her who she was in the same party, or who her friends were. Qiu Jin said, prefect, you yourself are also my friend! There are photos to prove it.
This pushed Guifu into a corner, and he had to kill Qiu Jin to prove his innocence.
Alas, Lu Renbing thought about some things, and his back was sweating. He knew that those staunch revolutionary sages were really determined and resolute. In their minds, there is only a great cause, no personal friendship, and even if they know that they will die, they will never turn back, and if they are friends with them, they must be ready to sacrifice themselves at any time.
He admits that he does not have the courage to face the killing. He'd died a dozen times, but he knew it was just offline. There is no pain, and there is no fear. But being beheaded or shot is not something that everyone has the courage to face calmly.
For these true sages, he can only express his admiration. He has gone through several lives, and he can only admit that he is an ordinary person and cannot be a real warrior. No wonder people are the protagonists of the times, and they can only be passers-by.
