"Mr. Xiao Xu did not say what to do after the search was found. His telegram was to discuss countermeasures with his husband. Now, in order to hide the organization, he just asked Wu Baochu to take the lead and asked a foreign doctor to find the cause of death."

"Who is Wu Baochu? It seems very familiar. He is ours?"

"He is not ours. He is the son of Wu Changqing, the former general of the Huai Army. People at that time called him one of the four princes."

"He is not ours, and he will help us do things?"

"Sir, I know. When Su reported the case the two years ago, he still asked for Mr. Taiyan, Wei Dan and others everywhere."

After Liu Boyuan said this, Yang Rui understood. This is an era that is different from later generations. People in this era are not individually independent, but are confined to each other by various relationships and ideas. If the father commits a crime and his son does not hide it all, he is unfilial. If his fellow villagers ask for help, he is unkind. If his friends don’t take it together, he is unrighteous. Of course, many people just say this, but they really do something else. But in fact, there are still many people who will act according to this moral law. After all, this has been thousands of years.

Based on this logic, Wu Baochu had a good relationship with Zhang Taiyan during the reform period, so even if Wu Baochu knew that Zhang Taiyan was committing a serious crime of extermination of the nine clans, he would have to save him. Even if Yu Qiaqing had guessed that Yang Rui was likely to be a thief, he still pretended not to know. Even if Yang Rui was arrested one day and he didn't take the lead in rescue, it would be unkind and unrighteous. This is actually a super stable society, where everyone is bound by benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, and harshness, and has all kinds of connections between fellow villagers, classmates, and subjects. The people here have no position but friendship, except for real deep hatred. They will stay at the forefront of their lives, and they are not the kind of future generations that only have money and nothing else.

In such a society, it is still difficult to establish a truly modern centralized party, because members cannot cut off these original connections, and the purity and independence of the organization cannot be guaranteed for a long time... However, now the revival will be called by patriotism, especially in a completely unfamiliar place in the Northeast, which is completely unfamiliar, but if you return to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to make a revolution, how can you cut off this invisible ideological rope? Although there has been a saying that the relatives of justice have been destroyed since ancient times, this kind of righteousness is actually a kind of morality. The so-called three pillars and five constants also have high or low points. The unfairness and loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time is actually just for the king to destroy the father. Do you really have to get out the descendants of the Ming Dynasty and then say to everyone: Everything is for the emperor? This is too...

Yang Rui didn't know why he came up with such a big piece of things. When Liu Boyuan on the opposite side saw that Yang Rui was obviously distracted, he stopped. But after just waiting for a while, Yang Rui said, "Xiao Xu hasn't figured out what to do after he died of poison?"

"Yes, sir."

"If Wei Dan died of poison, then go through judicial procedures, prepare the evidence, and find a lawyer to sue the police station for murder in the concession office!"

"Judicial procedures? Sue the police station? Is it a lawsuit?" Liu Boyuan looked at Yang Rui in confusion. He suspected that Yang Rui was still in a state of trance before and had not yet recovered. He sued the police station in the concession and concession. This...

"Don't look at me like this. The lawsuit is just to create momentum. As long as we appeal and the concession party does not accept it, the newspaper can say that they have a ghost in their hearts. They confirm their crimes; if they accept it, there is a report of the autopsy. If they sentence us to lose, then not only the police station, but also the concession industry department will have a sharp decline in prestige. If he sentences us to win, he will hand over the murderer."

Liu Boyuan seemed to understand that although the Western logic was different from China, it also had its inherent flaws. From this flaw, we can naturally make a difference.

"But there are several prerequisites to do this. First, we must take Wei Dan's parents over, because we have to prosecute them in the name of his family, and then we must protect the evidence, including the doctor we invited, and finally, the people who operate this matter, in addition to ensuring their safety, we must also tell them to persevere to the end. Because when things get bigger, those who are in the official and private friendship will join in, or this will provoke diplomatic disputes or advise the plaintiff to calm the matter. These must be prevented in advance. Others are newspapers in various places that we have mastered. We must report the whole process, follow up comprehensively, and raise public opinion. When we sue the police room before, don't focus on the revolution, just say that foreigners deliberately poison the Chinese people, so that the people will be provoked hatred. The more the matter becomes, the more likely the Ministry of Industry will abandon the soldiers to protect the car and push the Qing Dynasty behind it. At this time, the focus of newspaper propaganda is the vicious autocracy of the Qing Dynasty."

When Yang Rui was talking, Liu Boyuan didn't know where he created a small notebook and wrote down Yang Rui's words in detail. After he finished recording, he asked again: "Everything else is easy to solve. What if the Ministry of Industry and Commerce does not provide the Qing Dynasty, for example, if the review ends and ends up leaving it alone, or just a few years of review?"

"It's very simple. That's to lift the dead and suppress the living." Yang Rui's voice sank and his eyes became sharp.

"I understand. If it is left alone, it will be determined that the Ministry of Works and the Qing Dynasty are colluding with each other." Liu Boyuan said.

"In addition, the people from the Telegram Office can think of a solution. It would be even better if they could find evidence of the behind-the-scenes planning of the Qing Dynasty from the telegrams related to this matter."

Although most of the Fuxing Association now use wireless telegrams, wired telegrams are also the focus of attention. According to the convention, the Telegraph Bureau will leave a draft after sending the telegram. People in the Fuxing Association should be able to get it. This is how the secret telegrams that Li Hongzhang negotiated in Maguan were stolen in Japan. Of course, important official telegrams were encrypted. However, during the Sino-Japanese War, there was Wang Fengzao, and now the Fuxing Association also had Xu Xilin. As a confidant of Jiangning governor Enming, he could still get the secret telegram codes used by officials.

"Okay. I'll go back and make arrangements right away." Liu Boyuan nodded.

"Don't worry, there are other things to come to you." Yang Rui began to talk about the big thing. "The last spy incident caused us to suffer serious losses, so..."

Seeing Yang Rui talking about the last spy incident, Liu Boyuan immediately stood up and investigated the two sisters by the Political Department. Although there were some things I didn't understand at the time, no one expected that a female bearded woman was actually Japanese, "This matter is still from my side..."

"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. If you want to say that the most problematic one is me. If you don't have desires, you will be tough. My problem is the biggest. But this time we suffer a loss, and we can't do this again next time. So this time I want to tell you that some things from the Political Department are independent and the formation of the Military Intelligence Bureau." When Yang Rui said that "no desires are tough", his face felt hot. You can't blame others for this matter. In fact, you should blame yourself. Rather than saying that your own thinking is solidified, because there is no trace of wearing wooden clogs on your feet, you think that she is not a Japanese, it is better to say that she is sperm-like and brain-being. It is not his fault that the Independence Army is besieged. But Xu Liezu's death was entirely because of him. He felt guilty when he thought that such a young life died because of him.

Yang Rui's words made Liu Boyuan sit down. When he saw Yang Rui's words fell silent, he said, "Sir, this Military Intelligence Bureau is..."

"The main thing is to separate the functions of intelligence collection and counter-espionage from the Political Department." It is not a time of guilt, Yang Rui continued: "Information is extremely important. Japan won the battle between Japan and Russia, and the last time we were surrounded, we lost in the intelligence. So we have to increase our intelligence efforts. Especially for Japan, our position after the war determines that our future enemy will be Japan. If we do not fully understand their trends and eliminate our own hidden dangers, there will be three and four Taizis happening in the future. This cost is too high and we cannot bear it."

"Is Bocong back?" Yang Rui asked again. In addition to Liu Boyuan, there are also Qian Bocong and Zhang Chengyue. They were staying at school to be responsible for school affairs before, but now with the official implementation of the political commissar system, Yang Rui has asked Qian Bocong to come back to preside over the matter.

"He...he didn't come back." Qian Bocong was supposed to return with the sixth period graduates, but he didn't come back because of other things.

"Why didn't he come back? Didn't he decide that he would come back with the sixth period?" Yang Rui frowned.

"There is a new situation in South Africa." Liu Boyuan seemed to be considering the words and considering them, and then said: "After the Battle of Boer, South Africa has shortage of laborers, but gold mines are increasing, so the local mining company proposed to introduce 200,000 Chinese workers from China. This plan started last year. The first batch of Chinese workers arrived in South Africa in June last year. The initial Chinese workers were well, but the treatment became worse as they went later. Many times they could not eat enough. The salary they promised could not be fulfilled. Now they have to work under the mine for ten hours a day, and they have to dig two feet of stone holes a day, otherwise they would not pay the penny..."

"How much are they paid? How many people are there?" Yang Rui heard too many rumors about Chinese workers in this era, but it is still unexpected that there are such a large number of Chinese workers in South Africa.

"When I was recruiting workers before, I promised to hire five pounds a month, but after I arrived, I only had one 15 pounds. However, because I was not full, they could only buy food in the mining area. Because they lived in a fence, the things in the mining area were ten times the price on the street outside, so they could not get a penny in a month." Speaking of this, Liu Boyuan paused for a moment, and then whispered: "According to Qian Bocong's report, Xingzhonghui already has a branch in the local area."

"What? Xingzhonghui?" Yang Rui couldn't help but stand up in shock. Nanyang and the Hongmen in the Americas are Sun Wen's territory. Could it be that South Africa is also his sphere of influence? There has never been news of the African Xingzhonghui in history. Why did the South African Xingzhonghui suddenly come out now? Could it be that he changed history?

"Yes, sir." Although he was surprised by Yang Rui, he still said according to Qian Bocong's report: "When he visited Chinese workers, he met Xie Zhangye, a clerk in a mining company. This person is a member of the Xingzhonghui. According to him, he and his brother Xie Zhangtai, together with Hong Quanfu, the clan nephew of Hong Xiuquan, who was the past year, prepared to rebellion, but the matter was not secret..."

"Wait!" When Liu Boyuan wanted to continue, Yang Rui stopped him. He seemed to have heard of this. There was also the name Xie Zhangtai. Yes, it seemed that it was two years ago, in the United States and Yung Wing's house. He said that he had contact with Xie Zhangtai before, but since the failure of the Shuntian Uprising of the Ming Dynasty, he had broken off contact with him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Yang Rui said to Liu Boyuan: "You continue talking."

"Yes, sir. Bo Cong said later. At that time, Xie Zhangye probably saw that he visited Chinese workers and had some plans, so he talked to him. After Xie Zhangye said that he was a member of Xingzhong, Bo Cong also said that he was a member of Fuxing. Xie Zhangye probably knew about our Fuxing Association from foreign newspapers and highly praised our move to the north to fight against Russia, so the more he talked about it, the more he hoped to unite with us."

“United with us?”

"Yes. According to Xie Zhangye, the Xingzhonghui actually consists of two teams, one is the Fu Renwen Society founded by Yang Quyun, and the other is the Xingzhonghui founded by Sun Yixian in Honolulu. In the year of Yiwei (1895), the two sessions merged, and after the merger, it was called the Xingzhonghui and Yang Quyun was the president. He planned to launch an uprising in Guangzhou that year, but unfortunately the incident failed. Afterwards, the British in Hong Kong were forced to force Yang Quyun to not be allowed to enter for five years under pressure from the Qing court.

During this period, he established the Xingzhonghui in Johannesburg, Peter Marlitzburg, and Lorenzo Maguis. After the defeat of that campaign, the staff of Furen Wenshe and Sun Yixian and others broke up. After the uprising in Huizhou in Gengzi, Yang Quyun was shot dead by the Qing assassin, the two teams broke up completely. The two previous campaign was organized entirely by the people of Furen Wenshe, and Sun Yixian was not allowed to participate at all."

It is really incredible that the Xingzhonghui had such a hidden story. Yang Rui always believed that the Xingzhonghui was founded by Sun Wen, but in real history. Before 1900, most of the power of the Xingzhonghui came from Fu Renwen Society, and the two sessions broke out after the 1900s. Sun Wen became the president of the Xingzhonghui, but at this time the Xingzhonghui was just Sun Wen in Honolulu.

"If Xie Zhangye and others can join the Revival Society, and recognize the concept of the Revival Society and abide by the discipline of the Revival Society, then we can unite with them, but will they agree with these conditions?" Yang Rui had no understanding of Fu Renwenshe, Yang Quyun, Xie Zhangye and others, so he put forward such a request from a cautious perspective.

"I should agree. After talking to Xie Zhangye, Bo Cong analyzed that the people of Fu Renwen Society have now experienced the uprising of the previous year. Now Xie Zhangye is the only one who is active everywhere. His brother Xie Zhangtai is basically no longer involved in anti-Qing affairs. The power of Fu Renwen Society is probably Hong Kong, and the Xingzhonghui established by Yang Quyun in Africa in his early years. He went to South Africa in the hope of finding anti-Qing forces from overseas Chinese and Chinese workers."

"Oh, then what did he do at Transvaal Gold Mine Company? Is he trying to instigate the rebellion of China?"

"It does have this intention. But it is not a rebellion for South Africa. He hopes to develop revolutionaries from Chinese workers, and then take action after these Chinese workers have returned to China after the period of the Chinese workers have expired. In the year of Yiwei, the previous year's actions made Xie Zhangye feel that there was no hope of success with the Party's success, so he put his ideas on the Chinese workers." Speaking of this, Liu Boyuan couldn't help but look at Yang Rui with respect. What Xie Zhangye said further confirmed Yang Rui's previous view that he should not rely on the Party's revolution.

Yang Rui did not see Liu Boyuan's gaze, but was thinking that if he really did as Qian Bocong said, it would be feasible to unite the Furen Cultural Society, but should the path Xie Zhangye talked about continue? Can those Chinese workers really rely on what they thought to Xie Zhangye?

"How many Chinese workers are there now?" Yang Rui asked.

"According to Xie Zhangye's statistics, there are more than 38,000 people, and now there will be about one or two thousand new people every month. It is estimated that by the end of this year, there will be 60,000 people." After that, he added, "Most of these workers are from Zhili, Shandong, and Henan, and some of them are from Guangdong and Guangxi, but the number is very small. The contract signed by Huagong and mining companies is three years, and they can return to China in three years."

Liu Boyuan said optimistically, but Yang Rui didn't think so. "Then how high is the disability mortality rate of Chinese workers now? How many people can be left in three years?"

Liu Boyuan was shocked by Yang Rui's question. He couldn't answer this question, but according to general estimates, the Chinese workers in the farm were fine, but the Chinese workers in the mine were not like this. "When I go back, I send a telegram to ask Bo Cong."

"Well. Another one is that they work under the mine for three years and cannot eat enough. After three years, can they still shoot after they leave the mine? They signed a three-year contract, but what if the mining company does not release people after three years? There are tens of thousands or hundreds of people. In South Africa, they don't know where to escape. So when you call back, you must explain these situations clearly to Bo Cong. Don't see so many people at once, and you will feel that you can take this opportunity to expand the personnel. The more people, the more difficult it is to manage, and the more food and salary are needed. Once the management is not good, the entire army will collapse, and all the efforts before that will be wasted. We need to expand, but only expand on the premise that we can control it. This is like the army. Without enough well-trained officers and political commissars, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is useless. One is not good, and it will suddenly be rebellious like the Second Division. This lesson is profound!"

"Yes, sir!" The rebellion of the Second Division brought disastrous losses to the Fuxing Army, which was an extremely profound lesson.
