Yu Ziyi said a lot, and Wang Xiaoxu also drew a lot in his notebook. In fact, the key point is the competition between Anfeng and Antongfeng. However, such competition is not as fierce as Du Yaquan said. The Fuxing Association has never stopped the argument of this railway. Even, for example, Cai Yuanpei thought that more than 20 million yuan was not worth it. If half of the money was invested in education, then the education in the whole of China would be completely up to the top. However, this proposal was rejected as soon as it came out. Not to mention anything else, at least, an education association that had more strength than the Qing dynasties suddenly appeared. How to explain the origin of this money? Could it be that it was donated by gentry?

"You go back and rest first. Come tomorrow." Wang Xiaoxu said, after listening, it's time to read, and then look at the secret letter between Zhang Kun and Du Yaquan.

Yu Ziyi stood up and was about to go back, but when he saw the black veil on Wang Xiaoxu, he couldn't help but stop and asked again: "Sir, what happened?"

Wang Xiaoxu was already opening the box before he asked the question. When he heard him ask, he put it down again. The room suddenly became silent. There was a lot of sunlight in the wooden windows in the room that was rare during the Qingming Festival, but the gap between the wooden grid was not big. The bright column of light just fell on the floor of the room. The whole room was still shrouded in the dark outside the table lamp. After a while of silence, Wang Xiaoxu said: "Qu Bing, Wei Dan is gone!"

"Ah! No... Wei Dan... I saw it last time... I'm going to be released from prison, he is not..." Yu Ziyi's face was broad and he was incoherent.

"Yes, he was still fine when you left. But he was gone when you came back." Wang Xiaoxu said heavily, and his tone was faint. But it sounded so sad.

"..." Yu Ziyi heard that he was gone again, and there was no language for a moment, and he only felt that the whole world was dark.

"Why is he gone?" Yu Ziyi felt cold in his heart, and he asked again after he recovered.

Seeing that Yu Ziyi was not giving up, or because he would eventually know everything, Wang Xiaoxu said: "You have been walking for about a week, and we sent a message to the secret line in the Xizhuo, saying that Wei Dan was missing. Later I ordered another investigation. I realized that he had been... for several days... the body was thrown outside the wall of the Xizhuo..." Wang Xiaoxu said the more he spoke, the lower his voice, and in the end he couldn't help but couldn't help but talk.

"How did Wei Dan die? What about Mr. Taiyan?" When Wang Xiaoxu was silent, Yu Ziyi became intense. Although Zou Rong was not his classmate, everyone still had deep feelings during the time of the Patriotic Society. Especially after Su Bao's case, Zou Rong took the initiative to go to prison at the invitation of Zhang Taiyan. This shocked everyone. At that time, taking the initiative to go to prison was to seek death. Zou Rong and Tan Sitong chose to die. After that, "the people are not afraid of death, but how can they be afraid of death" became Yu Ziyi's motto.

"He was taken to a hospital outside the West Prison after he got sick in prison. After taking the medicine prescribed by a doctor in the Department of the Works Department, he suddenly died the next day. Mr. Taiyan said that when he went to see him at 10 o'clock the next day, Wei Dan had been angry for several hours."

"How could he die one night? That must be, that must be poisoned by them!" Yu Ziyi jumped up. He had visited Xilao before going to Liaodong. Zou Rong was very unaccustomed to entering Xilao. He had been sick before, but when he saw the story of the Fuxing Army attacking Russia in the newspaper, his illness improved again. That day, he wrote several poems in succession saying that he would give it to the soldiers of the Fuxing Army. Who knew that an old friend had passed away when he returned from Liaodong!

Wang Xiaoxu looked at Yu Ziyi who was extremely intense and said, "Calm down, Qibing, you must be calm, you must be disciplined at all times in your heart. We can die, but those who die must be valuable!... Now we have asked the doctor to examine the body, but now the doctors in the concession heard that they were doing this and refused them all. We had to ask the Japanese side to invite the doctor to Shanghai, and we will know the reason after they arrive in a few days. If he really dies of illness, then everything will be fine. If he is poisoned, then I must pay everyone's life!"

Wang Xiaoxu, who has always been peaceful, suddenly became angry. Yes, even if Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong were executed by Lingchi of the Qing Dynasty, he would only be hatred and sad. But now Zou Rong will be released from prison in another 70 days. How can he not be angry if he is killed by despicable poisoning?!

"Yes. Sir." Yu Ziyi suddenly calmed down, bowed to Wang Xiaoxu and left.

Zou Rong's sudden death made everyone's "qingen" secretly feel. Wan'anli headquarters, China Education Association, and China Times, all organizations except the commercial system hung black veils on their arms. Of course, in order not to expose the personnel, the black veil was only worn on internal occasions and removed when they went out. The person in charge of this matter was not Wang Xiaoxu, but Wu Baochu, a member of the Education Association, who ran around enthusiastically because of the Su Bao case, Zhang, Zou and others were imprisoned the year before, and even donated 300 foreign dollars, fearing that the lawyer's fees were not enough.

Unlike the gloomy weather in Shanghai, the northeastern fields were already full of spring. Even though the war was not over, the spring was already everywhere in sight. During the retreat on April 10, the Independence Army took the remaining soldiers as planned, picking up everything worthy of the Russian army and carrying hundreds of thousands of people who had abandoned them. Also, according to the plan, these mules and horses that brought supplies turned to Wengquanling's nest before reaching Tieling. When the Russian army did not defend Tieling and retreated to Siping again, the second batch of newly trained soldiers of the Independence Army rushed to the front line, which led to the 10,000 remaining soldiers returning to 24,000 troops and one army of 20,000. Although the source of troops was replenished and the sixth non-commissioned officers who returned from South Africa, the Independence Army was seriously injured in its previous battles and only defended its own responsible position according to the military order.

Colonel Madlidov was surprised why the Independence Army could go from 10,000 to 24,000. After the entire front was settled, he wanted to ask Yang Rui for advice. He even wondered if Yang Rui could make more changes. Now the Russian army does not include the Independence Army, only less than 170,000 troops, plus the Independence Army's 24,000 troops does not exceed 200,000 troops, and although the Japanese army opposite was only 170,000. However, the Russian army was completely in chaos during the retreat, and the soldiers were already

After not obeying any orders from the officers, the train that was only allowed to take was crowded with soldiers who threw away their weapons. Although Kuropatkin had prepared fortifications in Tieling, the Japanese army retreated frantically as soon as they stepped forward, and then retreated in an orderly manner to the second fortification prepared by Kuropatkin. Fortunately, the Misichenko cavalry army, who was protecting the railway in the rear, came up to stop the Japanese army for a while, and the entire army stopped and reorganized into the position.

In panic, people suddenly saw the independent army replenishing troops holding the Russian military flag from the east. All the Russians immediately cheered Ula after being frightened. Under the current situation, any small victory or failure would be infinitely amplified, morale would be raised or retreated again. In particular, revolutionaries in the army were rumoring everywhere that the Japanese used Eastern witchcraft. The strong wind that made the defense of the Third Army in Fengtian on the 9th day was created by Japanese wizards, otherwise the Japanese would not have broken through the Russian army's solid defense line. The rumors became more and more popular. The Russian army's priests and military police worked repeatedly, and the situation was better.

"I want to see the king, I haven't......" Madlitov was very majestic in his major general uniform, but the dog skin plaster on his nose destroyed his might.

"The commander will not see the guests!" Chen Guangshou was very upset when he saw him, especially when he was promoted. In order to commend the Independent Army for defending the Russian army's retreat, Yang Rui, Leo, Madriddov and some backbone officers all promoted military ranks. The Tsar originally wanted to award medals to these people, but considering that Yang Rui was a yellow race, he had to award medals to Leo alone.

"I have an important military information report..." Madriddov still didn't give up.

"If you have something to do, please look for General Lei, but the commander will not see the guests." Chen Guangshou said this and refused to let him in.

Seeing Chen Guangshou's appearance, the major general had to retreat. After Chen Guangshou shouted out, he kept standing outside and listened carefully to the sound inside. After that day, Yang Rui ignored everything in the army and left everything in the army to the General Staff.

As soon as Madriddolph left, Liu Boyuan came. He took a telegram and looked at Chen Guangshou. Chen Guangshou shook his head. Liu Boyuan originally wanted to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned around and came back. This time Chen Guangshou whispered: "Sir, he is still like that. He doesn't eat until he eats, either sleeps or yells."

"But I have something urgent to do." Liu Boyuan said.

"Didn't you leave everything to Chief Lei?"

"That's military affairs. This time it was Mr. Xu from Shanghai who called me, and it was urgent." Liu Boyuan looked anxious.

"Is it urgent or important? Or is it urgent and important?" Chen Guangshou still refused to let it go.

"You..." Liu Boyuan was anxious, "What are you talking about?"

"No matter what is not urgent and important, you will not go in." Chen Guangshou said, "You are not unaware of the current situation."

After looking at Chen Guangshou again, Liu Boyuan raised his breath and wanted to say something and let it go. Yes. How many people died in this battle? Now the gentleman believes that it was caused by his own reasons. This... This is actually a problem with the political department. During the investigation, only the head of the Heilongjiang Hu bandit Yang Daxin was found. He only knew that this woman was his wife whom he had robbed. As for how she got robbed, she hadn't found any of them. Thinking of this, he gave the telegram in his hand to Chen Guangshou and said, "Please give the telegram to Mr. Wei Dan. If Wei Dan died, it might have been poisoned by the collusion between foreign medical officers of the Qing Dynasty."

"What?!" This news was so surprising. Chen Guangshou couldn't help but speak louder. Although he didn't like Zou Rong's tone before, and was ridiculed by Zou Rong for learning foreign languages ​​and being a foreign slave, since he heard that Zou Rong had been thrown into death in South Africa, he turned his mind to him that those who dared to die for the revolution were always admirable.

"You read the telegram." As Yang Rui's guard company, Chen Guangshou had higher authority than ordinary people.

Chen Guangshou grabbed the telegram and seemed to have read it again. Then he entered Yang Rui's bedroom with anger on his face, but when he entered the gap, he still shouted in a low voice at the door: "Sir...Sir..."

The door in the room was a false door. Chen Guangshou had just shouted twice and was smashed by a book. With a bang, the book hit the door and scared Chen Guangshou. After staying for a while, Chen Guangshou said again: "Sir, I'm in Shanghai. Sir..."

"Leave it to the Chief of Staff." A sentence in it was thrown out.

"It's not the military newspaper, it's... something happened to Wei Dan..."

There was a silence inside for a while, "What's wrong with him? Have you been released from prison?"

"No. He...he was killed by the Qing Dynasty collusion with foreigners."

"Fuck, aren't our people watching in the prison?"

Chen Guangshou saw Yang Rui say this, but he didn't know what to say. Just when he was about to shout, the chair inside sounded, and a dark-faced man opened the door. Without saying a word, he grabbed Chen Guangshou's telegram and looked at the line and did not look down. He only heard him say, "Hey! He's dead, all dead, why don't I die?!"

"Sir. You..." Chen Guangshou finally saw Yang Rui open the door and immediately got in. Only a lantern was lit in the room, but the brightness was very small. Under the subtle light, Chen Guangshou saw that the room was in a mess, and all kinds of paper with words were thrown everywhere. He saw the steamed buns placed on the small table without any use, and couldn't help but say, "Sir, you can't ignore food like this."

"So what can you do with food? Can they survive after eating?" Yang Rui said quietly, without any anger as before.

Chen Guangshou didn't say anything, just sorted out the things in the room. Then he went out and took in the fresh steamed buns outside, and then went out without saying a word.

The greater sorrow than death, probably Yang Rui's condition is now. At first, the morning after the wind started, he was still a little happy to escape. After all, he led the troops to hold on. Especially in that case, although he was shaken, he still persisted. He was happy that he could make a choice between life and death, which he could not do before, but now he did it, which is a miracle for him. But when he was overjoyed, he went to the medical camp and screamed in irresistible, piles of young but already stiff corpses, shrouds that could not be pulled enough, all of which made his little joy disappear without a trace.

From then on, he began to be in a daze. He didn't know how to leave the medical camp, he didn't know how to get to Tieling, and he didn't know how to get to Siping. He hid in the tent, the house, and didn't go there, and said nothing. He really didn't know what to do or what to say. He kept denying himself - coming to the Northeast was a mistake! Choosing Tonghua was a mistake! Participating in the Russo-Japanese War was a mistake! Believing Zhang Zongchang was a mistake! Going to bed with that woman was a mistake! It was a mistake!... Everything was a mistake!

Yang Rui passed by countless days. Zou Rong's death made him crawl out of the tomb where he was hiding. In a trance, he started reading "The Revolutionary Army" from "eliminating thousands of years of autocratic systems," and reading it all the way to the later "I led 40,000 to 50,000 people of compatriots to plead for their compatriots and for their motherland..." He was no longer so dazed, not so sad. He had to finish everything before he died. He said this to himself.

When Yang Rui came out of the house, Chen Guangshou was already waiting outside happily, waiting for Yang Rui to wash his face, tidy up his beard, and tidy up his hair. He felt that the extremely confident gentleman had been back.

"You go and call Yuan Shi over." Yang Rui was picking up the bowl and asking for porridge when he suddenly thought of the previous telegram.

"Yes, go right away!" Chen Guangshou ran out. Before he could finish Yang Rui's porridge, he pulled Liu Boyuan back.

"How do you deal with Wei Dan's affairs?" Yang Rui only read the telegram for a rough one. Now he only knows that Zou Rong died suddenly, and he suspected that it was done by the Qing Dynasty colluding with foreign doctors. He threw away the others before he finished reading them.

Liu Boyuan had read the telegram, so he knew it very well, so he said, "Mr. Xiao Xu was looking for a foreign doctor in the concession to test the drug, but all the doctors refused..."

"I don't want to?" He was interrupted by Yang Rui as soon as he started.

"Yes, I refused. Later, Mr. Xiao Xu found the coroner in the yamen again, but the coroner seemed to be unable to see it. There was only one old coroner who said that he had seen such a thing in his early years, and that case was a murder of possession."

"It's just that his guess is useless. If there is no doctor in Shanghai, you can go abroad to hire a doctor."

"Yes. Mr. Xiao Xu has already gone to Japan to invite a doctor. There will be news in a few days." Although these telegrams were written, Liu Boyuan saw that Yang Rui had a rare leave of the house and that the abnormality of many days had gradually improved. He was very happy to ask Yang Rui for questions and answers like this.

"Japanese? Japanese doctor?" Now the word "Japanese" is Yang Rui's forbidden speech, and he felt extremely headache when he heard it.

"Yes. The weather in Japan has become warmer recently. If you don't ask a doctor from Europe and the United States to come or not, you will be afraid that it will be... The weather is so warm, it will be difficult at that time..."

"Japan is just Japan. If you are afraid of the weather being slow, put it in the ice cellar."

The place where the coffin is stopped is usually a ancestral hall, a charity hall, and an ice cellar have not been entered. However, as soon as Yang Rui said this, Liu Boyuan immediately woke up and said, "I'll remind Shanghai immediately..." After that, he was about to get up.

"Wait. I have something else to say to you." Yang Rui stopped him and said to Chen Guangshou outside: "You go and arrange to send a newspaper. After sending the telegram, I will ask someone to surround the tent. If you kill it for nearly a hundred steps!"

Yang Rui's explanation was extremely harsh, but Chen Guangshou was happy to hear that the confident gentleman in the past came back. He stood up attentively and said, "Yes!" and then went down.
Chapter completed!
