When Zhang Yuanji saw Cai Yuanpei again, he felt that he could not recognize him. It turned out that the gentle man had red eyes, unshaven beard, and his cheeks were very thin. Only when he smiled at himself again did he vaguely find the appearance of Cai Yuanpei before. After he was polite, he sighed: "Jiemin, you have changed!"

Cai Yuanpei could roughly guess the purpose of his arrival, and sighed, "Brother Xiaozhai, I feel that someone else has changed."

"Do you have to fight?" Zhang Yuanji asked again.

"Yeah, I have to fight!" Cai Yuanpei said resolutely, even if the person in front of him had been kind to him.

"Then I can go back now." Zhang Yuanji smiled.

"Don't!" Cai Yuanpei hurriedly stopped him, "I'm going to Hangzhou tonight. I still want to ask you for some things."

"Ah!" Zhang Yuanji was shocked. Hangzhou was dead now, but Cai Yuanpei was going. "Jimin, you can't go there!"

"Why can't I go?" Cai Yuanpei smiled and determined. "Now, I am the only one in Shanghai. I have to go there. Take my family with me."

"But Hangzhou has already encircled and suppressed three sides, and that's a place of death. Besides, how are you going?" Zhang Yuanji was originally entrusted by Duan Fangzhi, the governor of Liangjiang, to discuss peace with Cai Yuanpei. However, as soon as he met, he knew that there was nothing to talk about. He was about to leave, but he didn't want Cai Yuanpei to die with his family.

"Go by boat." Cai Yuanpei saw that he was anxious, so he had to comfort him, hold his shoulders, let him sit upright on the chair, and then said: "Since you have chosen the revolution, you have to revolution to the end."

"But what are you going to do? Revolution is not a death! Now that Congress has been opened, the imperial power will decline step by step. Civil rights will gradually grow. Isn't this the same result as your revolution wants?" Both of them chose to change the status quo with the same concerns as Zhang Yuanji and Cai Yuanpei in China. However, Cai Yuanpei left quickly, while Zhang Yuanji left slowly.

"It's too late. Brother Xiaozhai." Cai Yuanpei couldn't say that the founding of the parliament was originally a revival that would disrupt the Qing Dynasty. Once the parliament was opened, the conflict between Manchu and Han was not eased, but intensified. If the Manchus were doing well, it would be fine. But once the Qing Dynasty had seen things, it would be known to everyone. For example, if the 4 million taels of flag pay a year was not raised, the royal family alone would cost more than 8 million taels of silver, far exceeding the three million yen (about 2 million taels of silver) of the Japanese royal family. And these eight million taels are not included in the annual income of the three to four million taels of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If all of these are added together, then the money spent for the manchus is more than 16 million taels per year, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the national fiscal revenue. This is still a regular fee, and there can be no celebration, wedding, or funeral [Note:].

What Zhang Yuanji saw and what he thought of was far less profound and thorough than Cai Yuanpei saw. Seeing that Cai Yuanpei had made up his mind, he had to say dejectedly: "Then tell me, as long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water."

"It's not that serious, I'm just a student. I want to entrust it to you." Cai Yuanpei hurriedly stopped Zhang Yuanji and told the most important thing.

"Your student?" Zhang Yuanji was a little confused.

"Yes. My student is still very young. He is only about ten years old. His brothers are all studying in the Intermediate Court of Nanyang Public School. If I go to Hangzhou, I will ask Brother Xiaozhai to supervise his studies." After Cai Yuanpei said that, he was afraid that Zhang Yuanji would be troublesome, and said again: "In fact, it's enough to treat it for two or three days, and someone will come to pick him up in a few days."

After Cai Yuanpei's meeting, Zhang Yuanji met Jiang Weiqiao and Yu Huizu again. He looked at the two and said, "I went to Hangzhou this time and I will not come back in a short time. The Education Association and Tianzi will make you more trouble."

Yu Huizu looked at him and said, "Is the situation really enough to reach the point where you must go?"

"Well. Hangzhou is in danger, I should go." Cai Yuanpei said, and then asked: "Duanfang has increased the salt price several times and ordered Liangjiang and other places to not sell MSG and other goods. Is it a big impact?"

Seeing that Cai Yuanpei did not talk about going to Hangzhou and turned to commercial matters, Yu Huizu felt that he had decided to leave, so he sighed: "The impact is great. The sales of MSG in Liangjiang suddenly dropped by 40%. There are rumors that MSG will cause plague after eating MSG. It is probably them who made it up. The soap is not sold well. However, now we are talking about cooperation with some people, that is, we produce raw materials and they set up factories. In the future, we only sell oil and caustic soda to them and let them make soap and sell soap."

When Cai Yuanpei heard that Yu Huizu had a solution, he was a little happy and asked again: "What should I do if Ma'anshan Iron Factory and Tonghua are there? Did the Qing Dynasty do anything?"

"Duan Fang sent a message saying that Ma'anshan Iron Factory was not allowed to build 100,000 tons, and a large iron factory of 200,000 tons was built. As for the railways and coal mines that the iron factory were supported, they were all jointly with Hui merchants, so he was afraid that he could not move. He wanted to move in Tonghua, but asked the Americans, and we were tied up with local gentry there, so he couldn't move." When talking about commercial matters, Yu Huizu looked solemn, but in order not to worry Cai Yuanpei, he could only choose some good things.

"Why did Duan Fang agree to build an iron plant?" Cai Yuanpei was still surprised by this and asked again.

"Duanfang is vicious, but he is still enlightened. He knows that the iron plant has great benefits for the construction of the country and the Chinese, so he will agree to build it. In addition, the iron price is now low, and the cost of the new plant is very high. In the past few years, it was a bottomless pit. If one is not good, it would be a loss. This is the case in Hanyang. If it is not built, he will worry about our money to cause an uprising. If it is built, it is ours, but in fact, an imperial edict will become the Qing Dynasty. There is also one thing that I have learned recently that Duanfang has always been in Germany. At that time, the iron plant originally wanted to order American machines, but he insisted on using Germany. I think when he went to Germany the last time, he must have promised something to the Germans. If the iron plant is not built here, he will not be able to set up a stage with the Germans. So..."

The Qing Dynasty suppressed Tianzi and the Tianzi sizes. However, if you look at it carefully, there are one place in Ma'anshan, one place in Tonghua, one place in MSG, one place in soybean oil-pressed bean cakes and one place in coal mines. The ones that can move in the Qing Dynasty are Ma'anshan, one place in MSG, soap and Changxing Coal Mine. Among them, the iron plant is not just enough to do it. Without a few years of running-in, the cost cannot be reduced, and it is useless to move it; MSG and soap are the most damaged, but because the sales network has penetrated into towns and towns, does the Qing Dynasty have a quality supervision bureau, so the impact is, but not fatal; as for Changxing Coal Mine, merchants now know that Tianzi size and Fuxing will be involved. They all have a bit of a fallen dog, and the shares of the coal mine are probably going to be sold.

After hearing what Yu Huizu said made sense, Cai Yuanpei relaxed a lot. He looked at Jiang Weiqiao again and said, "I will entrust you with the matter of the Education Association in the future."

Jiang Weiqiao looked at Cai Yuanpei's serious appearance and looked at Yu Huizu and said, "I will support education. But international students spend a lot of money. Now... in fact, education will involve gentry from all over the country. As long as the money is settled, the education will be able to operate. I am worried that Brother Hanzhang will not be able to provide it."

After Jiang Weiqiao finished speaking, Cai Yuanpei had not spoken yet. Yu Huizu said: "Many factories in Tianzi are listed in the United States, but they really can't do it. The money from selling shares can be misappropriated. This money is really not counted as it is. There are 10 million yuan on the railway side. In addition, the Japanese have always been jealous of us in Tonghua coal mines. Although they are now experiencing our crisis, the coal price they pay is extremely low. One ton of one tael can still be made. By then, selling four million tons of coal a year can also make up for the lost money."

Jiang Weiqiao was frowning when he heard that he had money. Cai Yuanpei was extremely surprised when he heard that he was one or two taels of coal and said, "Wouldn't that be more than two taels of coal per ton?"

"Yes, the Japanese have bought a price of four yen per ton. It's only two or three cents per ton. It's not high, and it's even lower than the current market price. And the contract has to be signed for 100 million tons. We are now negotiating now, and there will always be a solution." Yu Huizu looked full of energy, but his heart was very heavy. During this period, he would wake up automatically at five o'clock every morning. He couldn't sleep. Every day when he heard the news that he was suppressed here and was boycotted, he felt like he was amputated. And now all the merchants in Shanghai know that the backend of Tianzi has collapsed, and many people want to come and make a fuck. If it weren't for Ningbo merchants who have always been together and the Americans support him, Tianzizi would have been stolen.

"I don't know about business, but under the current situation, stability is the key, and you must not be rushing to achieve success or make a bet. In fact, it has always been extremely taboo for Japanese people. It is better to be careful when doing business with them." Cai Yuanpei can teach, but doing business and fighting is not possible. But now everything is under his control, which makes him have to bear it. "There is also the education association, whether it is incorporated into the Qing Dynasty or independence, the legal and political schools are the first to maintain. This is the foundation for our future governance of the country. Before something happens, the agricultural schools that we ordered to run should be run as soon as possible. This is extremely important; and the other two large schools are the ones.

Learning, whether it is nominal or in essence, we can make concessions to foreigners. As long as the students in it can learn something and the scale of the school can be expanded, that's fine. In addition to the Boxer Refund, the rest depends on Hanzhang. If the more money is, the more you will be assigned, and if the less money is added, the less you will be assigned. Westerners say that Rome was not built in one day, and China is the same. It actually thought that everything was ready for the revolution. I think it was too difficult... Finally, if the middle and primary schools in various places had no money, they would maintain the current scale. Even if they had no money, they would not charge more. This not only affects the reputation of the Education Association, but also the reputation of the Revival Association..."

Facing Jiang Weiqiao and Yu Huizu, Cai Yuanpei nagged for more than an hour before he finished the order. At night, he called Mu Xiangyao over again, but when Mu Xiangyao came, Cai Yuanpei looked at him for a long time and hadn't spoken. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Has Liu Guanghan found it?"

Mu Xiangyao shook his head: "He has long been hiding in Jiangning."

"It's really not about knowing people and faces!" Every time Cai Yuanpei talks about Liu Guanghan, he would sigh. When he was in Shanghai, Liu Guanghan and his wife He Zhen were called Proudong and Sophia in the East because of their fierce initiative to revolution. They were also the name Liu Guanghan, and because of their determination to change the revolution from Liu Shipei to Liu Guanghan. Now it is extremely ironic to read. No matter how many revolutionary articles are, they are not as good as a juren in the Qing court.

"The Northeast has already been transferred here. They have not lived for a long time, and Ying Guixin is also there." The people from the Northeast that Mu Xiangyao said were actually special snatchers like Bai Ru. They handled them both Xiao Jinfeng and Zhang Zongchang, who harmed the Fuxing Army.

"Yeah." Cai Yuanpei nodded, "Your Highness and Uncle Mei should protect you. Especially Uncle Mei will be released from prison in two days. Although he was released from prison, he was deported by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and could not stay in the Shanghai Concession. I have already booked a ticket to the United States for him. You must protect him on the boat at that time, and my student. My family had promised him to go abroad to study earlier. He would also be on the boat and he would also take good care of him."

"I understand!" Mu Xiangyao said in a deep voice. "But what should the other traitors do?"

"Oh..." Cai Yuanpei felt very heartbroken when he heard the traitor. Now the Congress was about to start. The general trend was in the Qing Dynasty, and most of the members arrested had rebelled. After they surrendered, the organizations in Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Shanxi, Shaanxi Province were destroyed. People in newspapers published newspapers every day to withdraw from the Revival Society. If it weren't for the protection of Yuan Shikai himself, they would probably have lost the protection of the organizations in Shandong, Zhili and Henan. "Due to the situation, these thousands of people can't kill them. Apart from Liu Guanghan and his wife, there are some traitors who are willing to be a minion and accomplice for the tiger, let's stop for a while. This time, the Qing Dynasty Congress opened, and the real revolution and false revolution were immediately clear. Alas, no matter how much the bureau was deployed, it would be better to come back."

"I understand. Sir!" Mu Xiangyao felt a little deeper when he saw Cai Yuanpei mention Yang Rui. He had searched all the places he could search. He only felt that Mr. was afraid this time...

After briefly explaining the matter in Shanghai, Cai Yuanpei boarded the cruise ship to Hangzhou overnight. As soon as he left, Chen Qimei knew. "Are you really leaving?" he asked Wu Naiwen.

"I really left. The lights in the house didn't light up all night. He must have gone to Hangzhou when he left Shanghai. It seems that the articles we posted in the newspaper worked!" Wu Naiwen knew that Chen Qimei's plan was the best strategy compared to the assassination of Cai Yuanpei, rushing Cai Yuanpei to Hangzhou, which was about to be occupied by the Qing army, was the best strategy.

"It's good if you go! I know he's going back." Chen Qi smiled and said, "This will save us from taking action. However, in the past few days, we have to publicize Cai Yuanpei in the newspapers to go to Hangzhou and swear to live and die with Hangzhou City, so that he has no way to retreat. In addition, Hangzhou Zhantang also wants him to find a way to make trouble. Anyway, it's better to let Cai Yuanpei die in Hangzhou."

Chen Qimei was happy, and Wu Naiwen also accompanied him. He said again: "Will the police station and Xizhuo kill Wang Jitong and Zhang Taiyan? When the leaders of the Revival Association are all dead, then Mr. Zhongshan will be what everyone wants."

"Wang Ji and we don't care. Of course, someone will deal with it. Besides, once he is sentenced, it will be at least ten years." Chen Qimei planned all the people in the Revival Society. She felt that the most taboo thing was Zhang Taiyan, so she said: "Zhang Taiyan was released from prison on the 29th of this month according to the sentence, which is only two days later. This person is very famous because of the Su Bao case. You should kill him first. Go to the Xizhuo and look at the terrain. He will kill him as soon as he comes out!"

Cai Yuanpei arrived in Shaoxing on an American ship. Before he arrived in Shaoxing, he received a telegram from the Fuxing Club to occupy Jiaxing. He was not worried or happy about it. He only saw the docks filled with welcome people and saw banners with big words "President Cai vowed to live and die with Hangzhou!" which made him feel excited. He really wanted to live and die with Hangzhou.

"Sir, why are you here?!" Zhong Mei, the military governor, stood in front of the crowd, followed by his cousins ​​Cai Guoqing, Tao Chengzhang, Qiu Jin, Xie Zhangtai, Hu Hanmin from Tongmenghui, Zhang Baixiang from Gelaohui and others.

"Why can't I come?" Cai Yuanpei replied, and then he looked at the other people who were greeting and said loudly: "Jimin is here to share weal and woe with everyone. Now people in China are opposing us and scolding us for chaotic country, especially those members of the former Zhejiang Provincial Parliament, who frequently attacked the revival in newspapers, would harm the country and the people and poison Zisang. Why is this happening? Why did they greet us with smiles before, but today they are in opposition to us? Because they are with us

They have different positions, because they are all rich people, and it is not important to them whether they are revolutionary or not. But once we join the revolution, we will be determined and we will not compromise. We will fight with the Qing Dynasty to the end. We will drive Aisin Gioro off the throne, drive down the bannermen who ride on the heads of the Han people, and even drive down the dog officials who only flatter and only feed their own pockets. We will overthrow this decadent dynasty, restore the old rivers and mountains, and create a new China..."

Perhaps stimulated by the revolution, Cai Yuanpei, who was usually gentle and gentle, became extremely passionate. His voice was not loud, but his words spread far away on this gloomy afternoon, and even the soldiers standing on the outermost side did not know what he was saying, but they stomped their feet and clapped hard every time they heard him say something. They were already infected by this intense atmosphere.

After a short stay in Shaoxing, Cai Yuanpei was protected by everyone and crossed the Qiantang River. Only when he arrived at the General's Mansion in Hangzhou did Zhong Mei have time to report military information to him. "Sir, Hangzhou is too dangerous. You shouldn't come." Aside from others, Cai Yuanpei was the only one, Zhong Mei said anxiously.

"Aren't you here? Now the Qing army is in a big way, I'm here to encourage you." Although I don't understand military affairs, Cai Yuanpei still understands the sinisterness of Hangzhou, but he still thinks he should come.

"But..." Zhong Mei was very anxious. Although Jiaxing was taken at dawn, the troops suffered a lot of casualties. Many new recruits, including some veterans, also suffered a major loss when they were not experienced enough.

"Don't do it." Cai Yuanpei said: "How is the Jiaxing side? Have the Qing army been mobilized by us?"

As soon as he asked the key question, Zhong Mei had a hair full of hair. He shook his head and said, "No. Maybe the Qing Dynasty has not received any news of Jiaxing being occupied, or the commander who led the army is still asking the officials above, but they still haven't moved anyway."

In the past, Cai Yuanpei understood that the key to this combat plan was the sixth and ninth two towns led to Songjiang by Zhong Guanggao's troops. Only when they were led to Songjiang could the Fuxing Army eat at a fast pace. Now that the Qing Dynasty does not move, the plan is likely to be vain. "If the Qing Dynasty does not chase Zhong Guanggao and goes south directly. How should we defend it?"

"As long as they have a town to go south, we will not be a matter of how to defend it. Instead, we will withdraw directly to Yanzhou." There is no combat plan. If the Qing Dynasty really fails to move, the reserve plan is to retreat westward.

Cai Yuanpei frowned when he heard this and said, "It's really so serious? Do you have to withdraw it?"

"Yes. Sir! If more than one new army of the association goes south, we can't defend it." Zhong Mei has been worried about this problem these days. Whether Hangzhou can defend it can see the movements of the army clearly. "In fact, in the past half month, the most important thing is that most of the new recruits are refugees, and these refugees are seeking to have enough food. If they really follow the standards, it would be good to have three thousand qualified ones. In addition, these people have not completed the training at all, so they can't defend the city by relying on them."

Zhong Mei was talking and couldn't hold on, but the voice of the staff officer Zhou Sixu came from outside and said, "Bu Jin, what can Hangzhou protect this!"

Zhou Sixu had just received the message from the Qing army to move eastward, and rushed over to report. He was surprised to see Cai Yuanpei, and after saluting, he said, "Hello sir!"

When Cai Yuanpei heard that Hangzhou could be defended, he said, "What's wrong? He said he could be defended, and he said he couldn't."

"Sir, I said I was defending because the Qing army had already set out to the east. The Sixth Town and the Ninth Town in Pingwang were both set out. It seemed that they were going to chase the First Brigade." Zhou Sixu was full of joy and handed over the telegram. Radio was the biggest advantage of the Fuxing Army. At the same time, with the scouts coming from the northeast, the reconnaissance power in Zhejiang was greatly strengthened.

"Okay!" Zhong Mei felt that the big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground. As long as the Sixth Town and the Ninth Town go east, the Tenth Town will be easy to deal with.

Hangzhou was happy, but Duan Fang, who had just arrived in Shanghai, was unhappy. He received news in the middle of the night that Jiaxing was occupied and the rebels entered Songjiang eastward, "This revival will be aimed at Shanghai?" Duan Fang said in surprise after reading the telegram.

"I don't think so." Raonaixuan's beard seemed to be getting longer and longer. He had read the telegram before Duan Fang, and had a certain plan in his mind.

"Oh..." Duan Fang looked at Lao Naixuan with sleepy eyes open. "Sir, please give me some advice."

Lao Naixuan hurriedly was polite and finally said, "Dongweng, the thief army ignored the nest and took Songjiang directly, which is probably a plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain. And I also heard that the thief leader Cai Yuanpei went to Hangzhou. If the ninth town did not go to Songjiang, but went south to Hangzhou..."

Lao Naixuan stopped when he reached the point of his intention. Duan Fang also thought about the significance of this move of Fuxing. After thinking about it, he could not think of what Fuxing would abandon Hangzhou and take Shanghai for the purpose of taking Shanghai. He only felt that what Lao Naixuan said was reasonable, but he said again: "If the ninth town goes south, what should Shanghai do? If there is any loss, then..."

"Dongweng, there are many patrol camps in Shanghai, and there are also many foreign troops. Even if you lose the county town in Shanghai, you can quickly recapture it. On the other side of Hangzhou, the thief army is extremely weak. The ninth town can not only break the city of Hangzhou, but if you drive faster, you will probably also catch the thief leader Cai Yuanpei. This is the main achievement of defeating the enemy!" Lao Naixuan saw the situation thoroughly and only wanted to offer advice to Duan Fang. Seeing that Duan Fang was not moved by his words, he felt moved and said, "Dongweng, if you are afraid of blame in the palace, you can declare to the outside world that you will live and die with the city of Shanghai. The most favored minister in the palace puts life and death outside the palace. Once you see this, you will be very happy."

"But what if... what if the Fuxing Army really attacked the city?" Duan Fang was actually worried that he would be blamed for losing Shanghai and being blamed by Guangxu. However, Lao Naixuan's method was good, but he put him in a dangerous place.

"Dongweng, don't worry about this. The county town in Shanghai is within the range of foreign warships and cannons. If there are foreign cannons, the bandit army will only occupy half of the city in Shanghai when attacking them. Dongweng will definitely be unscathed." Lao Naixuan was indeed confident.

"It's good to be unscathed, and it's good to be unscathed." Since there was no danger, Duan Fang kept nodding, and even thought that this was a good opportunity to gain fame. He said: "Then telegraph the Ninth Town immediately, so that they would not pursue the Fuxing Army. The whole town immediately turned around and headed straight to Hangzhou. Also, tomorrow we will find some reporters from newspaper offices to tell them that this commander will live and die in Shanghai City!"
Chapter completed!
