Chapter 84 Letter 2
Mr. Huafeng, who Yang Rui was most concerned about, was still not joining the association. He had just led a few students to study synthesis ammonia. Of course, this was just theoretical research and laboratory simulation, but this was also good and could accumulate a foundation for the future. Zhong Guanguang also tested him. Mr. Huafeng did not express his attitude towards revolutionary constitutionalism, but only believed that China's industry was weak and that if you want to be prosperous and strong, you would not be able to save the country, and develop the industry first. Zhong Guanguang's industry was not good at further testing, so he had to wait and see. There was no progress in this matter for a while. It seemed that he would have to wait until he went back to find a way. If Mr. Huafeng did not impress Mr. Huafeng, he would not be able to completely open the door to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. He was the first choice to develop military industry. The longer he stayed in the military academy, the more Yang Rui attached importance to military industry, which was the basis for forming an army.
But what should I do? There are some things to say about the era of "Permanence and the revolutionary" to save the country, "Permanence and the revolution" to save the country, and "Permanence and the revolution" to save the country, and what to say about this era is that these ideas are rampant among the pioneers in the late Qing Dynasty. Each statement makes sense. It is believed that the basic of "Permanence and the revolution to save the country are some passionate young people. They choose this simplest way to change China, while those who insist on constitutional reform are mostly gentry, officials and businessmen. They first saw the real backwardness of China, and secondly, they are afraid that the revolution would harm their original interests. Among these people, only the technicians are what Yang Rui hopes to combine with them. As for other gentry, officials and businessmen, keep a distance and do what they do.
It seems that we still have to go back once. With the increasing development of the revolution, various affairs are becoming more and more complicated. Zhong Guanguang and Wang Jitong may not be able to take full care of them all, but the military academy is really unable to go out. Although they have been studying German for four months, various communications are still very difficult. If you go back now, it is difficult to carry out daily teaching normally, and it will take at least three months to get rid of it. As for whether you will be arrested when you go back, Yang Rui is not worried at all when you see the situation in the Su Bao case. Besides, the wanted order is just one word, and there is nothing else. Even if you know who it is, as long as you don’t go to the concession and follow the laws of the concession, the Qing court has no choice but to do anything about it. Of course, the factory may be a little troublesome because it is built on a mainland trip, but the factory belongs to McNeil in name, and the Qing court dare not do anything.
Yang Rui got up and opened the door and walked to the playground outside. The African grassland under the starry sky felt very vast, as dark as an endless sea. The lights in the classroom were still bright, and the students were still studying at night. Looking at the lights, they couldn't help but feel hope. The sparks can start a prairie fire. These are the sparks. The light text on the octagonal building that Yang Rui learned when he was in elementary school. What is the sparks? It is not himself, but the students.
After calming outdoors, Yang Rui returned to his room, reorganized his thoughts, and wrote a letter to Mr. Hua Feng, bluntly stating that the increasingly tense situation in the Northeast was invasive, and speculated that at the beginning of next year, Japan and Russia would have a long-lasting war, and asserting that the Qing court would only remain neutral and dare not intervene. At that time, the three eastern provinces would be in war and the people would be in danger. The letter did not say anything about the platoon and the revolution, but only said that he would spend all his money to resist the invasion. In order to resist, he had to be able to produce guns, ammunition in the Northeast, and only in this way could he persist in resisting these things in the Northeast. Only Mr. Hua Feng could help.
Yang Rui did not send the letter directly to Mr. Hua Feng, but to Wang Jitong. He was afraid that his words would push Mr. Hua Feng away, so he asked him to read it first and hand it over to Mr. Hua Feng when it was appropriate. Since the revolution cannot be accepted for the time being, we should advocate resisting foreign humiliation first. As a patriot, Mr. Hua Feng will definitely not object to this point. Now the mainstream of China is still reform. The revolutionary theory is only on a small number of passionate young people. In the future, Tokyo, the revolutionary base camp, there were only twenty or thirty people in the Youth Association. No, it should be called the Military National Education Association. Thinking of this, Yang Rui smiled self-deprecatingly. In this era, except for the Overseas Chinese Associations in Sun Zhongshan, there are only the most people on his side. It is almost a hundred people.
The next day, when German class was over, Yang Rui reported the latest progress of the case in Shanghai. When the concession completely refused to extradite, the students cheered happily. In fact, at that time in Shanghai, the students did not like them very much. Zhang Taiyan was too pedantic and always showed the majesty of teachers. Zou Rong was more arrogant and disliked them for learning English. He believed that after learning well, he would be a foreign slave and did not add color to them. Therefore, both of them were not liked by the students. One of the reasons for the separation of the society and the education association was that Zhang and Zou represented the education association and the autonomous students supported by Wu Jingheng. Yang Rui was not good at blaming anyone. Now he was very happy to see their reaction. After all, the thoughts of the freshmen developed and changed from the original concept of Zhenyuan to the concept of national and nationality.
Yang Rui never believed that the quality of Chinese people was worse than that of other people. The so-called shortcomings were caused by some cultural influence. For example, the Chinese people's internal struggle was not caused by the dual role of culture and geography. The Confucian saying of relatives and the vastness of geography made the country less united than those small countries. As long as culture is innovated, or in a specific environment now, those disadvantages will be weakened or even disappeared.
After the students cheered, Qi Qingyuan asked: "Sir, will Mr. Taiyan and others be able to come out soon if the concession is not extradited?" This question is also something that everyone is concerned about. Yang Rui had told them the cause of the incident before. Everyone admired Mr. Taiyan, Zou Rong and others for their courage to go to prison. After knowing it, they kept asking about the development of the matter and the way to rescue them. For this reason, Yang Rui could only comfort him with kind words.
Yang Rui said: "Don't expect so high from the Ministry of Industry. The Qing Dynasty is prosecuting the crime of defamation. According to the lawyer we hired, if we lose the case, they will be sentenced to three years or less. Although foreigners are not extraditioning under such circumstances, they still have to give face to the Qing Dynasty. I have said before that the extradition is because the Qing Dynasty will interfere more in foreign affairs from now on. If they do not extradite, they are afraid that everyone will come to rebel from the Qing Dynasty. It is also difficult for these foreigners to laugh." All the students laughed, "I think if there is no other change, Mr. Taiyan and others will be sentenced to a sentence that is neither light nor serious, at least two or three years, at most five or six years. In this way, the Qing Dynasty can explain it, and public opinion will not give them too much blame, causing the organizer to lose his official position."
Yang Rui did not remember history, but his guess was relatively accurate. In history, Zhang Taiyan was sentenced to three years and Zou Rong was sentenced to two years. However, the sentence was too short, and the Qing court put pressure on him again, causing Zou Rong to be tortured and died of illness in prison. After Zou Rong's death, Zhang Taiyan was released from prison alive because the concession authorities were treated well under public pressure. Afterwards, he himself said that his life was exchanged for Zou Rong's death.
The students were still very discouraged when they saw Mr. Taiyan and others were sentenced. They were too young and did not understand the difficulties of the world. "You guys, it seems that they should do the best in everything they want, and they should remember that many things cannot be fulfilled at once. For example, this time, Mr. Taiyan and others' lives were exchanged for the reporter Chen Qing. If he was not killed by the Qing Dynasty, then extradition would eventually be achieved. I heard that in addition to sending money to ministers and consuls from various countries, Manqing was also planning to sell the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to the UK. If the UK still disagrees, then Then add another railway and mine. Anyway, I have many treasures in the Qing Dynasty, are you still afraid that foreigners will not be moved? "After all, the students are impatient with the young people. Yang Rui feels that they should suppress this and wake them up. "Everyone should remember that many things are done little by little, and impatient cannot accomplish great things. For example, this revolutionary and national saving is a big project, which is so big that it is very likely that our generation will not be able to complete. Don't be so anxious and impatient. We should not just look at how far ahead is to the end, but also how far we have gone later."
Yang Rui's earnestness made the students calm down. Originally, after the start of school, Yang Rui only taught German classes, but later found that only teaching German was not enough. The students' bad habits unique to the Chinese people began to show, and the most serious was the consciousness of small groups. Before, when Cai Yuanpei was in Nanyang Public School, because Cai Yuanpei vigorously advocated democracy and autonomy, the students formed a couplet of twenty or thirty people. The students in the couplet were more harmonious, and the couplet was like passers-by outside the couplet. Now the forty-three people in the military academy mainly came from three couplets, Qian Bocong's couplet is the most complete, and Lei Yizhen and Qi Qingyuan came from the other two couplets.
Although everyone was still relatively united when they first came, the consciousness of the small group before the environment stabilized began to recover, and each alliance began to act independently and did not buy into each other. For this reason, Yang Rui toughly readjusted the dormitory assigned according to their wishes, completely disrupting the accommodation of the three alliances. The students had a lot of opinions on this. Of course, they dare not say anything explicitly in the face of Yang Rui's opinions, but Yang Rui still held several nights of meetings, and the theme was the infighting among the Chinese. Thanks to the Internet in later generations, Yang Rui knew a lot, and the ugly Chinese who had seen Bai Yang were also impressed. Of course, in addition to these, the PPT of various corporate culture training in the notebook is also an excellent weapon.
After a few nights, this trend was suppressed. From then on, the military academy added ideological and political courses, one talked about personal qualities, two talked about the idea of saving the country, and three talked about the international situation. At the same time, some systems in the military academy also made some corresponding adjustments at the request of Yang Rui. Because there were foreigners, and Yang Rui's prestige was already high, the student atmosphere after the rectification improved greatly. Ideological education work really cannot be lost. It is indeed necessary to build branches in a company. The political commissar, a profession that was not very pleasing to the future generations, should still vigorously develop.
——They found that the husband started to make excuses again. To be honest, when the first time this kind of rectification meeting was held, everyone still refused to accept it, but gradually they listened to it little by little. In the past 100 years, the summary was the most serious disease of the nation, and the content was extremely sharp. It sounded harsh, but later recalled it, but it was pointed at it. After all, Yang Rui did not write a lot. This was German class, not ideological and political class.
It seems that even if I teach German well, I still can't leave. Yang Rui thought that students' ideological education work will not be able to let go for a year or two. At the same time, the ideological education teachers behind them must also start looking for it, otherwise once the students leave themselves after graduation, the students behind them will be the same again.
The next day, the students spontaneously set up a simple mourning hall to commemorate the memorial. Faced with such a person who died for the country, everyone was full of respect. Several Germans were also surprised by this action. Leo asked, "Did your people sacrifice?"
Yang Rui didn't know how to explain this person, but said: "He is a great patriot, and all patriots should be respected."
