Yang Rui, who was in the Northeast, did not expect that the public opinion trend provoked by the Revival Society had changed some historical details. However, even if he knew, Yang Rui didn't care. Although he admired the revolutionaries very much, he had no love for the Tongmenghui, which was seriously infiltrated by the Black Dragon Society. At this time, he was sitting in the barracks and holding a Times. After the Japanese-Russian War, the front line was stalemate in Changtu and Siping. In addition to the independent army that wanted to train troops, they rushed to the battlefield from time to time and kept shooting against the Japanese army opposite, the situation was very calm.

"An anti-Qing organization, the Revival Association, established in Shanghai the year before yesterday, has recently organized several activities to protest the government." The Far East comment of the British Times wrote, "The cause of the incident was a bloody incident that occurred in Shanghai earlier - the entire Qing society was extremely dissatisfied with the government's mishandling. While protesting, an audio film called the Revival Army was screened in various concessions in the Qing Dynasty, including students, gentry, merchants, citizens, and coolies on the docks. The content of this film is just a narrow American journalist (note) interviewing the soldiers of the Revival Society. If you have anything to praise, it is probably a military song adapted from the Grenadier March. Despite this, the film still had a great impact. However, because the screening site was in the concession and the film did not involve anti-government content, the Qing government could not stop it..."

Although the Revival Society has a foreign-language newspaper summary system, the British Times has always been the focus of Yang Rui's attention, and he still asked the pass to the Northeast within the pass to send the newspaper directly. The public opinion offensive launched by the Zou Rong case was able to add blood and life, and achieved great success. In the end, Yang Rui released the audio films that the political department experimented with for a long time, which caused a greater sensation. In fact, for a ruler of the Qing Dynasty, anti-Qing was not scary, and the most feared thing was the anti-Qing in the name of patriotism. Now, the Revival Society is such a patriotic and anti-Qing organization.

After reading the Far East comments, Yang Rui looked at other news, but there was nothing to pay attention to. The only two things worth noting were the boycott of American goods recently initiated by the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce Zeng Zhuo and others; the other was that the gentry of various provinces began to vocalize constitutionalism, which was actually included in the report. The constitutionalists believed that "Japan is small, but the spirit of patriotism of the people is vigorous, like a pot of energy. Whenever the people arrive at the battlefield, they all focus on conserving state power and do not care about life and death. How can an autocratic country be like Japanese?" Although the Japanese-Russian naval battle has not ended, the anti-Qing wave set off by the revival society, constitutionalism has a wide influence.

Yang Rui had no impression of boycotting American goods. No book he read recorded this incident, so he quickly skipped him and didn't understand how big the trend it would arouse. He knew about constitutionalism, but in his opinion, the constitutionalism of the Qing Dynasty was nothing more than playing house. For the central court, it was completely self-sentenced.

Seeing that Yang Rui had basically finished reading the newspaper, Chen Guangshou said, "Sir, the guerrillas sent a message saying that the American journalist hoped to interview the leader of the Revival Society."

It is really difficult to find reporters in the Northeast. It is not that there are not many reporters, but that the reporters are all walking together and are protected by Japanese soldiers. At the moment when the Revival Society wants to find reporters, they can only take the approach of waiting for the rabbit and finally find a bold American journalist. The interview with the guerrillas was completed by him. In fact, this American journalist is not very concerned about the guerrillas, but after an ambush, he was extremely polite to the soldiers. After the Japanese and Russian armistice, the film about the guerrillas also filmed him. After his report gained a huge impact, the American wanted to interview the president of the Revival Society again.

"Oh..." Yang Rui pondered. If he agreed to the interview, the Qing Dynasty would step up the extermination of the guerrillas, which would be unfavorable for the establishment of a base in western Liaoning in the future. At the same time, if the reporter asked about the question of the Revival Society's attitude towards the West, it would be very difficult to answer, and compromise with foreigners, then domestic angry youth would criticize them, and toughen the foreigners, so there would be many troubles in the future uprising, but it would be absolutely impossible to achieve success when it was kept in the dark and turmoil. If you don't appear in front of foreigners, you can be a local rich man. If you want to establish a country, that's a dream.

"You ask the Political Department to arrange it, I will meet him." Yang Rui said softly. It was time for everyone to listen to the voice of the president of the Revival Association for two years.

When he met McCormick, in a village fifty kilometers west of Changtu, Yang Rui dressed up his outfits specifically - he was wearing a guerrilla camouflage uniform, wearing a pair of shiny military boots, his hair was carefully combed, and his unshaven beard was also left as a mustache according to the convention of this era - both sides of the eight characters were slightly raised upwards.

When McCormick saw Yang Rui, he was about to take a photo, but he gave up at the sign of the political staff. Yang Rui smiled and reached out to shake hands with him, and then said in English: "It's a great honor to see you! Mr. McCormick."

McCormick thought he would bow like a Chinese, but he didn't expect that he would shake hands and speak English even more. He also said happily, "It's also my honor to see you. Mr. President."

McCormick is in his thirties, with a full blonde forehead, a well-proportioned figure, and wearing a dark suit. He dressed up in a civilized suit. He followed the unique curiosity of the reporter and looked Yang Rui from high to toe, then said: "I really didn't expect that we could have such a free conversation. Please forgive me. I really thought you should be a red beard."

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Mr. McCormick, there is nothing strange about this. China is gradually opening up - whether this kind of opening up is forced by war or because of its own needs." Yang Rui read the lines prepared by the Political Department, and it was very twisted, but what made him even more disgusted was the latter.

After the previous courtesy ended, McCormick started asking questions as soon as he sat down. After interviewing the Revival Army (guerrillas), he wanted to meet the founder of this army because he always felt that the founder of this army was mysterious and did many things that ordinary people could not do, which made him very curious.

He asked, "Sir President, when did you feel you were going to establish a Revival Society and decide to fight the Russian army in the Northeast?"

"It was first in 1900 that the Qing government declared war on various countries very wrongly. At that time, it was extremely unwise and caused great losses to everyone. At that time, I thought the government should be overthrown, so I and a few friends discussed the establishment of an organization against the Qing government. And to the northeast, it was in April 1903."

...

McCormick asked questions according to the previously agreed questions, while Yang Rui answered them according to the answers prepared before. At the end of the interview, McCormick asked a question that was not within the scope, and he said: "Mr. President, I really want to know where your knowledge comes from? I feel that I am not talking to a Chinese, but a foreigner."

The staff next to him wanted to stop this unnecessary problem, but Yang Rui stopped him. He smiled and said to McCormick: "I think I will be surprised to say it. My childhood was actually spent in the United States..."

Before Yang Rui finished speaking, McCormick suddenly screamed, "Oh! God. Is it true at this time?"

"Of course. Mr. McCormick, this is true. I arrived in the United States when I was seven years old. Then I stayed in the west for a year, and then in New York for eight years. I still remember it very deeply. Then I went to the UK, where a relative of mine was there, where I inherited a small inheritance, but I still couldn't afford the university tuition. I could only study in the library of the British Museum, or go to the nearby University College London to attend the professor's courses. At that time, I had no braids, and they regarded me more as a Japanese..." Yang Rui talked about his beautiful childhood according to his previous identity. Although he had experience in fraud at Germany and the University of Berlin, after considering it, he still felt that he should give up everything in Germany and just talk about Britain and the United States.

The talks took a long time because of this exception issue, and McCormick seemed very excited. His gladness was not so much that this revolutionary had such a rich childhood, but rather that his growth experience in the United States would resonate greatly with the American people. Thinking about a Chinese revolutionary who actually spent his childhood in the United States and in New York, it would make all Americans excited. He once again asked the previous question, "If the revolution was successful, will the country in the future be American?"

Yang Rui still said according to the answer he prepared before: "The United States is the core of the free world and the protector of democracy. Friends of the people, enemies of the autocrats, and all feudal rulers regard the United States as a thorn in their eyes. The United States is a role model for the successful model of human society. China in the future..." He said this. Yang Rui, who was disgusting in his consciously, paused and jumped out of the original answer and said: "But now all aspects of China are very immature, and it will be very unsuitable to refer to the American model rashly. I think we can only realize this dream after a long and long period of hard work."

McCormick also noticed the difference in his answers and asked, "How long will it take?"

Yang Rui smiled and said, "I just think that one hundred years are too short. In fact, China is now like the southern United States in 1860. Agriculture is the main industry of this country. Farmers and slaves are bound to the land and are very poor. Even if the United States had the Civil War and the support of the north, it took a long time to integrate into the north. The current situation in China is that there is no strong north that has been capitalized, and there are also several times the farmers in the south, so it takes a very long time for her to achieve the true republic."

He told the United States that China could only borrow American history, otherwise they would not understand it. Obviously, McCormick was extremely satisfied with Yang Rui's statement. He had been in China for five years. This was a completely ancient and ignorant country. The rich people had this strange hobby. They attached great importance to the land and the number of wives they owned completely more than money. He believed that Yang Rui was a very Westernized person who had a deep understanding of China itself. He believed that as long as he mobilized the United States for his exclusive interview with Yang Rui, it would definitely cause a sensation, especially since he actually lived in the United States for nearly ten years.

After fooling McCormick and sending him away, Yang Rui took off his leather boots. He had not worn them before because he had been too long. Now he found this pair of boots too narrow. After wearing them for a long time, he felt the pain of his feet. He jumped on his feet and went to Siping under the escort of the guard company.

Yang Rui, who returned to the camp, seemed to be doing nothing. Japan and Russia were waiting for the result of the naval battle. The Independence Army complained that the soldiers had finished and cried. Now they were in a strong sense of fighting and fired hard against the Japanese army on the other side every day. This made Madlitov, who was in charge of logistics, often complain. But after all, the Independence Army fired the Japanese, and the bullets were given as little as the artillery shells. In the Shanghai side, Wang Jitong had been discharged from the hospital and was at home to recuperate. The bullets were fired.

His chest and heart and lungs passed through him, and he saved his life. Yang Rui called him back to agree to the parade, but he told him and Cai Yuanpei that he could not go, but he couldn't bear to see him sending students to die like this. Yang Rui knew about the situation in Shanghai and couldn't speak for a long time. He was really free. Yang Rui thought of going to Tonghua to see it. Xu Huafeng was about to arrive, and that was the foundation of the Revival Society.

After more than ten days of long journey, when Yang Rui was about to arrive in Tonghua New City, the news of the start of the Ma Hai War came. He was not surprised or happy with the telegram. This was known for a long time. London's money was waiting to be reclaimed and could be withdrawn back to the country. Although the naval battle was not like the previous land war, people believed that the strength was very different - Russia will win and lose Japan, it was still very sensational that the Russian fleet was wiped out within two days. The fluctuations in national debt were not as big as the Battle of Fengtian, but they could still make a lot of money.

Yang Rui couldn't help but feel happy when he was rich, but after a while he felt that Japan was really lucky. If he informed the commander of the Russian fleet in advance of the Dongxiang turn, even if the Russians did not believe it, once Dongxiang did this, the Russian bombardment time would not be two minutes in history, but eight minutes, or even ten minutes. Yang Rui thought it was beautiful, but in fact he didn't understand naval battles at all. Even if the Russian fleet really shot Dongxiang for ten minutes, the result would not be much different. At this time, the capped bullet invented by Makarov had not been equipped, and the Russian armor-piercing bullet could not penetrate the armor of the Japanese warships at all. What's more, the Baltic fleet could drive the ship to the Far East. If it could still win, God must be a Russian.

When he handed the telegram back to Chen Guangshou, Yang Rui opened the notebook and wrote the event in a password. He said that the day when the Battle of Zhao happened, the naval battle was one day earlier than history. He shook his head, not knowing that the result of the naval battle was the same as in history. For time travelers, what they feared most was that history was changed, but what he did could not not change history. It was really a difficult problem.

Yang Rui arrived in Madang Town that evening. After arriving here, he stopped riding his horse and took the copper mine cart to Erdaojiang. The mountain wind blew in the dark night, which was very cool. After sitting in the car for a few minutes, he saw the lights of Erdaojiang New Town. It was very dazzling in the dark night. After walking for a while, the mine cart stopped. When he left outside, Du Yaquan was already waiting.

"Brother Qiufan!" Yang Rui greeted happily. It had been more than half a year since he left last time, and it was very friendly to see him again.

"It's done." He shouted in a low voice, but he shook hands with both hands, rather than Yang Rui's one-handed one-handed one-handed.

Yang Rui seemed to enjoy the feeling of being warmly welcomed by his subordinates, and also clasped his hands tightly with both hands, and said emotionally: "Thank you for this short time. After Xian Yan left, Tonghua will be supported by you."

Du Yaquan was a little excited and said, "The foundation left by Xianhuan is good, the original plan of the meeting is good. I am just a supervisor now, just follow up step by step."

Yang Rui nodded. This time he didn't make any fakes. Du Yaquan told the truth. His work was actually executed according to the plan, but it was quite difficult. There were always many unexpected things in the plan. The executor's ability to adapt to changes is very important. He held Du Yaquan's hand tightly and shook it, "No matter what, without you, this job cannot be done well."

The Revival Association has no report on work, and the commercial office does not need to report any ideological work to Yang Rui. The daily progress is reflected in the weekly and monthly reports. Although Yang Rui only reads the documents filtered by the document team, he still knows the major events in Tonghua. The biggest problem is the railway. First, the Anfeng Railway built by Japan is now changing to a small train railway, which is very threatening to the Tonghua Railway Company. The protest documents have been handed over to Beijing long ago. Under the operation of Yili, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already notified Japan. It was just that Japan was not finished in the war, so there was no progress. According to history, the Qing Dynasty finally agreed to the Japanese railway, but how to destroy it?

In addition to the Japanese's Anfeng, it was also his own Antongfeng. The Japanese army has not allowed the railway company to build railways near Fengtian. The coal transportation railway from Fushun to Fengtian that was stolen before was only connected to the Dongqing Railway. In addition, the Japanese army forced the Xinfeng Line, so Antongfeng could not connect with the railways inside and outside the pass. What should we do?

Yang Rui kept looking at the map and fell asleep with these two questions. When he woke up in the morning, it was already ten o'clock. He only felt that he woke up too early and slept until he was hungry at noon before getting up. He didn't see the appearance of Tonghua New City at night. As soon as he opened the door during the day, he saw that there were chimneys outside. As soon as the rolling ash smoke came out, it was blown away by the wind and spread in the lush forest.

In the afternoon, I walked around Tonghua New City. The iron training plant and copper training plant were not very good at it. I just waited for the mine cart to rush towards the iron mine in the evening. After passing Tiechang Town, I got off and walked ten miles before I arrived at Tonghua Arsenal. It was already ten o'clock at night. The head of the factory, Xu Jianyin's eldest son, was already waiting.

Yang Rui laughed and said, "Brother Xianting has been waiting for a long time."

Xu Jiabao bowed and said, "How dare you?"

Accompanied by Xu Jiabao, Yang Rui walked the entire arsenal. In fact, there was nothing good about it. The military equipment ordered by Germany had not arrived yet. There were only a lot of houses built here, including grenade production and mortar shell production. The technicians were brought by Xu Jiabao from the pass. As for the workers, they were basically reliable people selected from the refugees who fled to famine. Once they entered the factory, they could not leave the factory.

There was nothing better in the night. I didn’t look at the factory carefully. It was just around the jars that synthesized ammonia. Yang Rui stopped for a long time. These were the jars that were specially customized according to the process requirements after the successful synthesis of ammonia in Germany. Yang Rui asked: "These things should have just arrived."

"Yes. It was transported in a few days ago." Xu Jiabao knew exactly what this was for, and he became a little excited when he replied, "Just wait until the third uncle comes back, he can start trying to make ammonia."

Unlike his optimism, although Yang Rui received news that Xu Huafeng's successful test in Germany, it was just an experiment. There would still be a lot of trouble if it really had to be recycled production. He shook his head and said, "This is a new technology, and it will take a lot of time to really mature. We don't have to worry. Thank God if it can succeed in three years."

After Xu Jiabao joined the association, he knew that Yang Rui was the leader. This was the first time he met the leader. He didn't know much about this person. At this time, he saw that he was not eager for quick success and instant benefits. He was very persistent, and felt that he and others were being looked down upon. He whispered: "I guessed wrongly. The synthetic ammonia in Germany ran smoothly for twenty days before there was a deliberately accident. At that time, our process would be small and no major adjustments were required."

Yang Rui was concerned about synthesis of ammonia, but except for providing technical information, he didn't understand anything else. Some time ago, he received a report from Xu Huafeng in Germany that the equipment was operating successfully, so he ordered an accident to destroy the factory. He didn't know that Xu Huafeng had been operating for twenty days without letting go. He was surprised, "Haha. OK. If that's the case, then our backs..."

But before Yang Rui finished speaking, Xu Jiabao said again: "It turned out that this ammonia is made, but to make explosives, you must first make ammonia into concentrated nitric acid, otherwise it will not be possible to make explosives."

Yang Rui was stuck by his words, but under the lantern, it was impossible to tell that he was deliberately sarcastic, so he was not unhappy. In fact, Yang Rui's idea was problematic. He only remembered that synthesizing ammonia was equivalent to explosives, but he forgot that after the ammonia was made, he still had to synthesize concentrated nitric acid, and then he could make explosives. He bowed to Xu Jiabao and said, "Brother Xianting, I think it's simple. Even though I thought about this synthetic ammonia, I didn't expect that synthesizing ammonia is a new process, and synthesizing ammonia is also a new process. This is also a new process. It is also necessary to spend time to study it."

When Xu Jiabao was polite when he saw Yang Rui, he felt embarrassed. He had been learning chemistry and studying things since he was a child. He always spoke and did things in a wrong way. He had been taught many lessons by the general manager in the face of the officials. After interrupting Yang Rui just now, he felt inappropriate. He thought Yang Rui would be unhappy, but who knew he bowed to him. He immediately replied and said sincerely: "It's really a blessing to me."
