Chapter 100 Five Uncles
It happened to be Christmas Eve afternoon when Yang Rui arrived in Boston, and it was very exhausting to walk back. Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Of course, as an ancient city, some problems are inevitable. When Yang Rui got off the car, he felt stared at on the platform. While turning a corner, he saw two white people following him, looking at him, looking at him, dressed up like hooligans. Although the protagonists in many time travel novels often have plots of beating up bad people, that is not Yang Rui's hobby. He is a Chinese, and he bought a Portuguese passport that he didn't know whether it was true or false, and he was in this strange city. All this made him dare not act rashly.
Because of his height, he could not use the crowd to hide himself, so he had to speed up his pace to leave the station. At the exit, he saw two Chinese people holding signs waiting for someone, which read: "Seattle, Mr. Yang." Yang Rui hurried over and said: "I am Mr. Yang, was Mr. Situ asked you to come?"
The two of them disagreed with Yang Rui's erotic statement. One said, "Yes, Uncle Wu asked us to come." The tall man next to him saw the two white men following Yang Rui and said, "It's Jack's group. Let's go quickly." He said, and took Yang Rui onto a car and galloped away immediately.
In the carriage, Yang Rui was curious about who Jack he mentioned and why they were interested in themselves, and asked: "The two people just now have been following me since they got off the car. What are they doing?" As Yang Rui took out a pack of cigarettes and sent them a cigarette. For a moment, the carriage was filled with mist.
The tall man seemed to be very addicted to smoking. He took several breaths before saying, "They are specialized in robbery. The railway station is their territory. As long as they are dressed better, they are the target of their attacks. Mr. Yang's outfit is too rich and Chinese, so they followed. In the United States, the police officers never care about robbing the Chinese, and they just don't follow him to rob him."
Yang Rui was speechless for a moment. The United States today is completely different from the United States that later generations advocated modern civilization and democracy. What he wore was just a down jacket he had brought through time. Perhaps the material on the clothes looked very similar to silk, and was regarded as a rich man.
"They snatched our people before, so the boss took us to fight them once. Many people died. They made enemies like this." The little man who held the sign before also spoke. Seeing Yang Rui's dress and conversation, he didn't like him very much, especially Yang Rui's short hair. He couldn't think of what Yang Rui's business was. At this time, only American Chinese people who had been to the bureau had no braids. The American police were afraid that they would hang themselves with braids, so they cut their braids as soon as they entered the bureau. Therefore, Chinese Chinese without braids were a prominent mark of criminals - but for the sake of Uncle Wu and cigarettes, he still gave some face.
Soon the carriage arrived in Chinatown and got off the bus in front of a store. Two people were waiting outside. One was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with short hair and very burly hair, with a rebellious smell. He was wearing a gray short jacket, but his waist was bulging. After several months of training, Yang Rui was very sensitive to guns and felt that they were two guns. The other one was obviously his follower. The two who got off the bus first had already whispered in front of him. He nodded, then clasped his fists to Yang Rui and said, "Yang Sheng, a letter was sent down on the road. Please!" As he said that, he reached out to ask Yang Rui to go first.
Yang Rui also clasped his fists and said, "I dare not." He was not polite at the moment, and walked in front of him in the middle.
This is a Guangdong restaurant. In this life and in the future, the Guangdong restaurant has changed a lot, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that Guan Gong who comes in is still powerful. Yang Rui knew that there was no need to be gentle with Situ Meitang. Sage is a manifestation of cowardice, so he no longer had to be nervous about age and position. He sat down with his courtesy. After sitting down, before the dishes came, he brought wine next to him and put it in a glass bottle of white wine, but the color was slightly yellow. After the wine was full, he said, "Yang Sheng, come here to me to soak me in medicinal wine, so I can make up for it. Come on, do it!"
Seeing that he was killed with a sip of wine, Yang Rui was not as weak as he was. He immediately poured the wine over and continued, "Come again, do it!"
Seeing this, Yang Rui had to kill him again. He did this for three consecutive cups. After three cups, the boss Situ Meitang began to say: "Yang Sheng, you and I didn't know much about you in the past. I'll find me a little, what's the matter with me?"
In order not to implicate Zhong Guanguang and Yang Rui, when Yang Rui was in Seattle, he asked Chen Yixi to sign the telegram to be Mr. Yang, and the sender also had a fake address. Therefore, Situ Meitang didn't know who Mr. Yang was. The telegram only said that he came from China and had important matters to discuss and contact him. For this telegram without any beginning and end, plus Yang Rui's short hair, Situ was sentenced to prison for several years in prison for the crimes of the crowd a few years ago, and he also had short hair. He thought Yang Rui was also a bad guy in China, so he was so arrogant.
Yang Rui didn't speak vernacularly at all, and he only listened to him. So he said in English: "Mr. Situ, can I get something?" After saying that, he pointed to the bag next to him.
Situ Meitang nodded. In order not to cause misunderstanding, Yang Rui slowly opened the bag and took out the things slowly - it was just a book "Revolutionary Army" and two letters from Taiyan and Zou Rong. The cover of the book "Revolutionary Army" is very simple, with three big characters written vertically in a black frame: "Revolutionary Army". When Yang Rui left Shanghai, the book had been printed, so he brought some, and this time he came to the United States to bring a few.
Yang Rui pushed the book to Situ Meitang and said, "I am a revolutionary party. This time I came to the United States, and I was walking around the west coast. I just heard Mr. Situ's name by chance. I knew that Mr. Situ was a famous hero in the world, so I came inexplicably. I wanted to ask Mr. Situ to revolutionize. This book was written by our comrades Mr. Zhang Taiyan and Mr. Zou Rong. After it was published, it became popular all over the country. Because of this, they were not tolerated by the Qing Dynasty. They were arrested in the Shanghai Concession in July this year."
Situ Meitang held the book without reading it, but just looked at Yang Rui and said, "Mr. Yang wants to help me save people?"
Yang Rui shook his head, "They don't want us to go to rob the prison. After Mr. Taiyan knew that the Qing Dynasty wanted him, he did not hide or avoid him. When the police came to investigate, he took the initiative to greet the police and said to the police: 'The rest of the people are not here, I want to take Zhang Binglin, that's me.' He was arrested like this. After Taiyan was imprisoned and wrote a letter to call him, he went to the police station to fall into the trap the next morning. According to Mr. Taiyan, he wanted to debate with the Qing Dynasty in France to see what reason the Qing Dynasty had to rule China."
With a bang, Situ Meitang slapped the table and shouted, "Let's dice is a hero. I'm not as good as Qu!"
Yang Rui didn't quite understand what he was calling, but he didn't know how to ask. Situ Meitang said in English: "You came to me to rebel with you, but although I have someone, they are all in the United States, how can I help you? Do you also need to raise funds everywhere like a royalist party?" Situ Meitang also studied in a private school when she was a child. After dropping out of school, she often read the books of the Chinese Traditional Chinese Theory. She knew a lot about the events during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and had never had a good impression of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, she saw that Yang Rui was indeed a revolutionary party, and she no longer had a difficult time, but she was interested in helping each other.
"No." Yang Rui said. "The overseas Chinese are poor in their lives, which makes them unable to afford to pay. Those who have money tend to be royal. He will not pay even if you raise funds from him." When he talked with Yung Wing before, he told Yang Rui about the situation where Kang Liang and others came to the United States to raise funds.
Now Situ Meitang is a little confused. If you don’t send someone, just save someone, or raise funds, how can you revolutionize?
Seeing that he was very puzzled, Yang Rui looked around and stopped talking. Situ Meitang knew what Yang Rui meant, and said, "These are all our brothers and will be revolutionaries in the future. Please say it's okay, Mr. Yang."
Since this is the case, Yang Rui was no longer reserved: "For the sake of the success of the revolution, we had to build guns and cannons, but no one in the country understood this. Those who understood were in the Qing Dynasty factories. We sent people to study abroad, but except for the United States, all countries had strict military control. The Qing Dynasty did not agree that no country would teach us, so we could only come to the United States. But if we wanted to study in the United States, we could only smuggle, but it was inconvenient for those who smuggle in without identity in the United States. So we wanted local Chinese in the United States to study, so that they had no identity problems. After they finished their studies, they would return to China secretly. We need people and people who understand technology."
Situ Meitang was stunned when she heard this request. She always wanted money and soldiers to rebel. Now this person is not like this, only a technician. After a while, he came to his senses, "Mr. Yang, the technicians you want have a legitimate job, and they may not necessarily revolutionize."
Yang Rui knew this concern, "No, what I want is not a ready-made technician. I hope Mr. Situ can choose some people from overseas Chinese who have a certain cultural foundation and tend to revolution. I can find someone to arrange them to study in the factory, and then go back after they have finished their studies, and the treatment will be better." Fearing that he didn't understand, Yang Rui explained: "I met Mr. Yung Wing at the beginning of this month, and he is willing to arrange personnel for us to study in the military factory."
Yung Wing Situ Meitang has heard of him. He was the earliest international student, but he has never dealt with them, the lower-level overseas Chinese. Moreover, because Yung Wing was mixed with the Qing court before, the lower-level overseas Chinese did not have any good feelings for him. "Isn't he a royalist party?"
Yang Rui smiled and said, "He used to be, but now he is not. He is involved in the Ming Dynasty Shuntian Kingdom in Guangdong this year." At this time, the dishes on the table had already served, and Situ Meitang summoned Yang Rui to eat the dishes. The three glasses of medicinal wine they had before were hungry, but now their stomachs were still rolling. Yang Rui quickly ate a few bites of the dishes and pressed them down.
Situ Meitang has been in the United States for a long time and has not known all about some domestic affairs. Moreover, the Ming Shuntian Uprising was leaked before it was launched. But you can tell that it was an anti-Qing incident by listening to the name, so you no longer have any opinions about Yung Wing.
Yang Rui then said the plan in more detail, "Mr. Situ, can you choose some people who have studied or worked in a machinery factory among the overseas Chinese who are willing to use revolution, and then send these people to Mr. Yung Wing. He has planned the affairs of students studying in the United States before, and has some relationships in the United States. He has agreed to arrange for us to train some military talents. For these overseas Chinese who are studying military industry, we will also pay wages according to the actual situation in the United States, and after completing our studies, we will return to our military factory to work. Simply put, this plan is to find someone, Mr. Situ and Mr. Yung Wing arranges training, and we will pay for people."
Situ Meitang laughed, "How come this sounds so familiar, just like our overseas Chinese were sold to the country." Overseas Chinese were sold to piglets, but later they lived in the United States better than China, so more and more people came to smuggle. "Okay! I promise you." After that, I wanted to have another drink.
Yang Rui smiled bitterly and said quickly, "Slowly, slowly, not very drunk." Situ Meitang and others laughed. That night, Yang Rui was drunk and lived in Situ's home. Unlike the Hongmen bosses in later generations, Situ Meitang was just a hawker who put a cart to sell pork and vegetables, and the house was also very simple. Yang Rui didn't mind the simple, and he almost drank, so he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.
The next morning, when Yang Rui woke up, he saw him sitting in the room, seemingly not sleeping, his hair was messy and his eyes were blood red reading Zou Rong's "Revolutionary Army":
"... Qianlong's Old Summer Palace has been transformed into ashes and cannot be relied on. For example, the recent Chonglou Jie Pavilion and the towering and tall Summer Palace, I asked about the tiles and gravels in it. Why did the Han people be carved to provide the pride of Nara, a woman who was tyrannical and unrighteous. She was a tyrannical palace in Qin and was still called unkind by the Afang Palace in the future. What is the Ancestral Palace in the Summer Palace? What is the Summer Palace? My compatriots dare not say that they are evil, so we can see the extreme autocracy of the Manchu government..."
Seeing Yang Rui get up, Situ Meitang stopped and said, "It turns out that the book "Revolutionary Army" is really a horn of anti-Qing. No wonder the Qing court wants to arrest people. I read it all night last night and couldn't sleep for a long time. Mr. Zou's article is more easy to understand than Mr. Zhang's. It was written in one go, which made people excited. I want to go to Beijing now and kill all the people."
Seeing that the book was so effective, Yang Rui was secretly happy and said, "Killing all people is not the fundamental, it is just the beginning. China's first priority is to build, and construction requires talents. Building factories, building railways, and mining all require talents. Now China uses foreigners. If they are a little dissatisfied, they will pinch our necks. This must be changed."
