Chapter 12: The Assassination of Tao Gong
Qin Hancheng saw that he reacted violently, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked, "Third child, are you really married?" Why didn't you say what your father asked you the day before yesterday?"
Qin Hanxu's face changed slightly, and he looked at no one on the left and right, so he lowered his voice and said: "I know a girl in Japan, named 'Keiko', who has lived together for three years, and it is not officially married. ”
Qin Hancheng frowned and said, "It's an Oriental?"
"Yes. So I didn't dare to bring it back, for fear that my father would be angry. ”
"Alas, you can't hold the fire in the paper! what do you want to do?"
"What else can I do? ”
"The woman is still in Japan?"
"No, she has come to the magic capital and lives in Hongkou District temporarily. ”
Qin Hancheng smacked his lips, his brows furrowed, and he felt that this matter was difficult to do.
At this time, although there was a Sino-Japanese naval battle between China and Japan, the relationship was not as bad as it was later.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan had become an industrial country, while China was still an agricultural country. Japan is more advanced than China, and China still considers itself the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Both sides feel superior and look down on people from the other country.
If Qin Hanxu tells the truth, it is estimated that the old man Qin Zhaoji will feel embarrassed, and he will definitely not agree at first.
Qin Di couldn't help but think: "It's over, my third uncle, the future will not be easy! Can he put himself in a correct position between the hatred of the country and the family? He won't follow Wang Zhaoming to be a traitor, right?"
Qin Di himself doesn't mind the origin of the third aunt, the Japanese are also good and bad, some people support Sino-Japanese friendship, if you look at the long history, the integration of various ethnic groups is the general trend.
Of course, the distorted human nature during the war also makes people grit their teeth with hatred.
Because the Xinhai Revolution has been won, Qin Hanxu came back this time, and he didn't plan to go again.
In addition to Wuchang and Jinling, the magic capital was also the territory of the revolutionaries, and Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren often haunted here.
In 1912, Sun Yat-sen took the oath in Jinling, inaugurated as the provisional president, and changed the name of the country to the "Republic of China", which became the first year of the Republic of China.
On January 14, Yuan Shikai went on a hunt for revolutionaries in the north.
On the same day, Tao Chengzhang was stabbed to death in Shanghai.
Tao Chengzhang was a leading member of the Restoration Society, who made significant contributions to the Xinhai Revolution, and his death shocked the world.
The next day, when the news spread, the newspapers sold like crazy.
Qin Hanxu read the newspaper and was silent for a long time.
Qin Di was far away, and he heard him gritting his teeth and muttering to himself: "The surname Yuan, kill my revolutionary, you will not die well...... and then the sound of the pistol "clicking" bullets.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Hanxu walked out with a suitcase in stride, ready to leave the Qin family.
Walking to the gate, he saw his nephew Qin Di standing there.
At this time, Qin Di was 12 years old, and he was almost as tall as Qin Hanxu's shoulders.
He blocked the other party's way and asked, "Third uncle, it's almost the Spring Festival, where are you going?"
Qin Hanxu grimaced and said, "I'll go out and have something to do, and I'll come back in a few days." ”
Qin Di said: "Third uncle, don't go. Tao Chengzhang was not killed by Yuan. Assassination won't solve the problem. ”
Qin Hanxu was suddenly shocked: "Do you know what I want to do? The newspapers have said that Tao Chengzhang's death is related to the surname Yuan!"
Qin Di grabbed his suitcase and said, "The statements in the newspaper are all chasing after the wind. There's something else going on in this matter. Third uncle, if you go to Beijing to assassinate someone, facing someone Yuan who is heavily protected by heavy soldiers, it is equivalent to looking for death! If you die, where will you put the third aunt? Where will you put the Qin family? Aren't you afraid that your grandmother will cry to death?"
Qin Hanxu grabbed his arm with his backhand and asked, "You little child, what news do you know? Why do you say that Tao Chengzhang's death is strange?"
Qin Di sneered: "I know who did this, but I won't tell you about Third Uncle Chong's hot temper!"
"Huh? Do you really know? How is that possible?"
"Tao Chengzhang was assassinated in Guangci Hospital, and the murderer was not a subordinate surnamed Yuan, nor was he a killer of the Qing court, but a revolutionary! Third uncle, this matter is very complicated, and he is still confused at this time, and in time, the clues will slowly be revealed. The Qing court was overthrown, and after entering the Republic of China, there will be more and more assassination cases. ”
Qin Hanxu was stunned and tried hard to break Qin Di's arms, but he didn't expect that Qin Di's arms were extremely powerful, and his hands were like vices, and he couldn't break them with all his might!
"Huh, that's a weird thing! You kid has the strength to do it. Let go and let me out!"
"Third uncle, I know that you are enthusiastic, but you have to understand that the revolution has succeeded, and how to divide the fruits of victory next. In order to gain more personal gains, many people will become very ugly! Comrades who used to be good can also become murderers. Third uncle, don't keep thinking about assassination. Assassination is not the solution! I've got this box for you. ”
Qin Hanxu's eyes looked at Qin Di, and at that moment, he felt that his nephew's figure seemed to be much taller, how could he be a little similar to Mr. Song when he said it?
Song Jiaoren graduated from the Japanese University of Political Science and Law, and has always attached importance to settling disputes through legal means, and he advocates the Westernization of Britain and the United States, parliamentary constitutionalism, and the separation of powers, which is different from Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles. From 1912 to 1913, Song Jiaoren made great contributions to the Qingbai Party, became famous and very popular, and would probably have been elected president of the Republic of China if he had not been assassinated.
Qin Hanxu stabilized his mind and said, "Okay, you let go, I won't go." ”
Qin Di said: "That's right, third uncle, you have the intention of killing people, it is better to follow Mr. Song......! Otherwise, in two years, once the husband dies, the world will be even more chaotic......"
Qin Hanxu was shocked, his hand loosened, and he didn't even want the suitcase: "What are you talking about? How could Mr. Song die? He is only thirty-three years old!"
Qin Di said lightly: "Mortals will die, and Mr. Song is no exception. Didn't Mr. Tao die yesterday? He was only thirty-four years old!"
Qin Hanxu's heart was disturbed: "You mean, someone will assassinate Mr. Song in the future?"
Qin Di said: "Third uncle, I sometimes dream about things that will happen in the future. There are some things I can't go into detail. If it weren't for the fact that you were my uncle, I wouldn't have said a word. ”
Qin Hanxu stretched out his hands again and pressed them on his shoulders: "Ah Di, tell me, is what you just said true? When will Mr. Song have an accident?"
Qin Di said: "Mr. Song is a big man, life and death are destined by heaven. Third uncle, don't you want me to leak the secret of heaven and endure the thunder of the sky, right?"
"Nonsense! Nonsense! I have traveled from south to north for so many years, and I have never seen anything strange? How could I be fooled by you?"
Qin Hanxu's hands shook the other party's shoulders hard, he said unbelieving in his mouth, and his heart was already in chaos.
"Give me the box, I'm not going to go to Beijing! I'm going to find Mr. Song." ”
"Okay, come on, third uncle, try to find a half-job official position and come back, so as to protect the family's business. ”
Qin Hanxu said angrily: "Hmph! You bastard, you are young, and your utilitarian heart is so heavy! You know how to get promoted and get rich! Do you know what revolutionary feelings are?"
Qin Di smiled slightly and handed over the suitcase: "Third uncle, you are wrong. I am a child, and I don't want to be an official or shed blood. I like to be free, to go to the water, to sit and watch the clouds rise. And you're different, you already have a wife! You still have to support the elderly, you can't take it easy!"
Qin Hanxu was so angry that he took the suitcase and strode out of the courtyard gate.
