Volume D, Chapter 2, Parachutist
The grassland in the setting sun is the most spectacular. The endless grass in the distance is plated into gold, like a golden sea. On this golden sea, there are golden flocks and golden horses. They contrast with the clouds in the sky, as if they are reflections of the sky in the sea. Fang Junying leans against a pile of hay and looks at this rare beauty greedily. Only at this time of day, the grassland is the most beautiful, and only at this time can she forget those unbeautiful things.
When Fang Junying stared at the distance, Cheng Wu was also thinking about his thoughts. After firing the deadly shot at Cixi on May 6, she and Fang Junying were surrounded by nearly 10,000 imperial guards. They had nowhere to escape, and they could only hide in Shifo Temple. This temple was actually not far from the Royal Yuhe River, which corresponded to Wanfo Temple on the Yuhe River. In such a location, it was naturally the focus of the imperial guards' search. However, the lurking in the sniper course still allowed them to go through the first search. When the imperial guards began their second search in a carpet-style manner, they felt that they could not escape. The imperial guards that were close to him suddenly retreated, and Fang Junying and Cheng Wuxing escaped.
Safety is always temporary near the capital, especially when they assassinated Cixi. After a brief hesitation, the two did not go south, but chose to go north. After arriving in Changping, they went northeast to Miyun and Chengde, and then wanted to enter the northeast from Chifeng, and then return to Japan from Yingkou or Anton in the northeast. In order not to be arrested, they were all wandering in the day and night. As for food after using up the money, they could only steal. The two women walked together to introduce attention, but they knew their own conscience.
Cheng Xu, who was so handsome, painted his face dark early. In addition, his intentional non-showing and tattered clothes made others often reject them. However, since he was stealing all the way, he would naturally be caught. When they were in the Suluk Banner of Zhuosotu League, they were surrounded by a circle of Mongolians. After being arrested, they were about to chop their hands, a first aid kit found that the leader of the leading Mongolian stopped his subordinates. He asked in a nasty Chinese: "Revival Society?"
The strange place could actually survive the title of the Fuxing Society. Fang Junying and Cheng Wu were both stunned. The Mongolian also saw their surprise. He knew that this should be a misunderstanding. Perhaps it was not only the Fuxing Society family. He gave a look to the soldiers who were executed. He signaled that they might have cut it. Seeing that their right hand was in danger, Fang Junying shouted: "Fuxing Society! Fuxing Society!...and... Yang Jingcheng! Yang Jingcheng!"
When the Mongolian saw that she was shouting "Revival Society", there was nothing, but when she heard him shouting "Yang Jingcheng", she was stunned. Then she drank the soldiers and asked again: "Are you Wen Yongyu's people?"
Fang Junying had never heard of Wen Yongyu at all, so she had to say, "We are Yang Jingcheng's people," she said it and felt something was wrong, so she had to point at Cheng Xu and said, "She is Yang Jingcheng's people."
The Mongolians did not understand what Fang Junying's "Yang Jingcheng's people" meant. However, they mentioned Yang Jingcheng, so naturally they had something to do with Fuxinghui, and the punishment was not enough. They directly brought them to a messy mountain village. When a few perverts saw that it was a woman, they seemed to be surrounded by them. After the Mongolians shouted a few words, the people retreated. At night, an officer in a floral dress came to ask. Although Fang Junying and Cheng Xu were not from the Fuxinghui system, what they said was still a little related. In addition, more than a month ago, Wang Jitong sent a notice of cooperation from Shanghai, so that the officers in front of them could be sure that they were the people they were looking for at the headquarters, but at this time, the headquarters in Shanghai had already been attacked and could not operate.
The troops of the Mongolian uprising army Baiyindalai were captured by the Mongolian uprising army Baiyindalai, and the one who took them away was Wen Yongyu of the Liaoxi guerrillas. After the Russo-Japanese War, western Liaoxi was a key area for the Revival Society. In addition, there was a Baiyindalai anti-reclamation uprising in this place, and the situation was extremely chaotic and could take advantage of the troubled waters. If the Liaoxi guerrillas wanted to survive, they must cooperate with the Mongols. In this case, a small amount of guns and ammunition and simple medicine were given to Baiyindalai, which was also the reason why the Mongols saw the special first aid kit and thought they were the Revival Society.
After Fang Junying and Cheng Wu arrived at the camp of the Liaoxi Guerrillas, they finally stopped sleeping in the open. However, bad news came as Yang Rui from Shanghai was injured and disappeared. Then, Guangxu returned to the Qing Dynasty and held a parliament. When they recovered from various injuries on their bodies, they were about to set out to Hangzhou, the Hangzhou uprising failed again.
The sunset had completely set, and the sky above my head slowly turned blue again. Fang Junying turned to Cheng Xu and suddenly said, "If we hadn't killed Cixi, maybe Hangzhou's righteousness and Chaozhou's righteousness would have been successful, and the situation would not have become like this."
Cheng Xu seemed to have not heard it at first, but later he said, "If I had not killed Cixi, there would have been no righteousness. He had said before that the Qing Dynasty was already hopeless. Reform was seeking death, and not reforming was waiting for death. No one could hold the helm except Cixi. Now that Cixi is dead, the Qing Dynasty would probably be overthrown soon."
There was only Yang Rui in Cheng Xu's words. Fang Junying wanted to continue asking about Yang Rui after hearing this, but she was afraid that Cheng Xu would be sad. She only sighed after being silent for a while: "You are so naive!"
Cheng Wu also knew her concerns and said silently, "You are so naive!"
While the two were speechless, the little adjutant running over from the tent shouted: "Miss Cheng, the captain is looking for you."
Cheng Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then his face was a little dull, but she still stood up and went to the military tent. Wen Yongyu, the head of the guerrilla team in the military tent, laughed from ear to ear with the telegram sent from the headquarters. However, when he saw Cheng Xu coming in, he asked Cheng Xu to sit down and said seriously, "Miss Cheng, there is an important news to notify you..."
Cheng Xu didn't understand Wen Yongyu's behavior. He was a baby-faced person, but he began to pretend to be serious after joining the army. Especially he knew the news that Cheng Xu was the husband's fiancée behind his back, so he made a great news like announcing evil news. Cheng Xu felt his mind a little shaking and said powerlessly: "Please tell me, Captain Wen."
"The news from Shanghai, Mr. found it... he is treating his injuries now. But it doesn't take long for him to recover...we..." Wen Yongyu said a lot, but Cheng Xu didn't understand all the sentences after "finding it". He just waited for Wen Yongyu to finish his words and handed her the telegram out. She was stunned and grabbed the telegram and couldn't help sobbing. He was finally safe! She thought. He was finally safe!
If a woman's cry is a kind of sob, then a man's cry is often a kind of wail. Earlier in the Golden Palace of the capital, Prince Su Shanqi, known as the wise king of the Qing Dynasty, was kneeling on the ground and wailing at his wail. Guangxu just looked sideways and turned his head away. Most of the Manchu and Han ministers in the hall had a arrogant expression. However, the Han ministers all lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Shortly after Shanqi wailed, Guangxu said impatiently: "Why are you crying? Prince Su? Now he has issued an order to prevent Ding Zhenduo from killing people. Isn't this enough?"
"Slave...Slave..." Shanqi also knew that the massacre of the Han people had nothing to do with the court. But he was not crying for this. He sobbed a few times before saying, "Slave hopes that the emperor can give mercy outside the law and pardon Cai Yuanpei's death sentence..."
Before Shanqi finished speaking, Guangxu stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Cai Yuanpei was a Hanlin in the court. He was favored by the emperor and ate his salary, but he also made the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty. In this way, people without a king or a father must be executed by lingchi!" Guangxu finished speaking viciously. He felt that it was not enough, so he pointed to the ministers in the palace and said: "What did you say before? What did you say? 'Classification can eliminate civil strife'. But now you see, is this eliminating civil strife? This is simply to instigate civil strife!"
Guangxu shouted angrily in the hall, then stepped back, leaving a minister who was kneeling in the hall. After the court meeting ended, Shanqi returned to the palace, Liang Qichao came to see him. As soon as he saw Shanqi, he said, "The prince is wronged again."
Shanqi's tears were wiped dry at this time, but his forehead and eyes were swollen. He looked at Liang Qichao, wearing a fourth-rank official robe, and sighed. He wanted to say, 'It's not as good as the Old Buddha,' but knew that he could not say this in front of Liang Qichao, so he could only say: "Zhuo Ru, the emperor often listens to your advice. This time you can also find a way to persuade him."
"This..." Liang Qichao was twisted for a moment when he heard this. He was not a Manchu with the title of Prince. A Hanlin actually took the lead in rebelling. This cannot be blamed for being so angry. "Prince, let's slow down this matter. The emperor is now angry. Besides, isn't Cai Yuanpei still treating his injuries? It will take several months to stay until the injury is healed."
A slight pound of force is Liang Qichao's style of speaking, and it is precisely this way that he was very happy to Guangxu. He was actually a very talented person. Everything was quickly analyzed and understood very thoroughly. If this analysis did not contain political ideas, he was a top thinker, but he became a restless person. Assassination and bleeding were advocated by him in the early days. However, after going to the United States to see the true "democracy", he immediately turned toward, believing that the enlightened and enlightened Chinese were still suitable for the current China. This kind of thinking was originally a choice after being disappointed with American democracy, but it was completely suitable for the situation he was facing now. Especially Guangxu is now extremely stingy with power, and enlightened and fully conformed to Guangxu's wishes. However, there was no way to stop the wheel of history after being tempted by him, and the Qing court still slipped towards the unknown abyss.
"It seems that it is necessary to hold a Congress early." Shanqi saw Liang Qichao being sloppy again, so he had to say helplessly, "Only in this way can the resentment between Manchu and Han people be eliminated."
Seeing Shanqi expressing his thoughts, Liang Qichao responded immediately: "The prince is right. The revolutionary party took the opportunity to create hatred to incite the people. The court can only correct the source. After this battle, the revival meeting was greatly damaged. Daily newspapers in various places have published newspapers to withdraw from the revival meeting. The law of revolutionaries surrendering themselves is really a good law." Liang Qichao deliberately flattered Shanqi here. This law of surrendering himself was indeed proposed by Prince Su, "and the parliament will be opened next year, and the people will be in charge of the people.
Returning to my heart, wouldn’t the Songjiang Revolutionary Army be eliminated by the local gentry? Without them, the revolutionary army would not know where to go. Seeing the small details, the prince, the scholars and the people are like this, the revolutionary party can only protest a few times in the United States." After Liang Qichao finished speaking, there was still a little bit of remnant, and he said: "Although Yuan Shikai traveled to Britain, the power in the court was not collapsed, and the power in the army was very deep, but he was a jealous problem."
It was Kang Liang's regret that he did not kill Yuan Shikai, but who made Guangxu so fucked him so much? Yuan Shikai accidentally slid his fingers to the major governors and governors. In addition, this revival would not rebel sooner or later not rebel. But at this critical moment, such a big rebellion came, and the governors from all over the country forced the palace to force the palace, Guangxu had to nod and establish a constitutional constitution. In order to stabilize Beiyang, Yuan Shikai had to be dismissed. That guy was also smart and knew that Kang Liang Guangxu was going to kill him and went abroad early.
Liang Qichao's words were as gentle as the breeze, both complimentary, transformed, and turned, which only led Shanqi's attention to another place. However, since Shanqi would be called a wise king, he naturally had his own ability. Liang Qichao was right. Once the parliament opened, the scholars and the people returned to their hearts. This can be seen from the public opinion in various places. However, looking at the articles written by Yang Jingcheng, Shanqi still felt very uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from. He didn't know how to prevent him. What he could do now is to strictly organize the private group. Both the group training must be reviewed by the local government. As for the officials in the group training, they can only be appointed by the government, and even the ammunition is kept by the government... It can be said that if you can think of it and do it, you have thought about it and done it. If the revolutionary party can turn the tables in this way, then the Qing Dynasty will be exhausted.
Shanqi finished thinking. He remembered the Yuan Shikai incident that Liang Qichao said, and said with a smile: "Isn't the Army Department vigorously rectifying the six towns in Beiyang now? The Sixth Town was not transferred back in Zhejiang. After Lord Zhiruizhi was transferred to General Fengtian, the third and fourth towns were transferred to the Northeast. In the fifth town, the commander Zhang Yongcheng had been dismissed..." At this point, Shanqi paused for a moment and smiled at Liang Qichao: "Isn't the Army Department asking for people now? If there are people in Zhuo Ru's snatching, you can recommend one or two."
Liang Qichao came for this matter. Zai Ze was in charge of the Army. As a royalist party, he had different positions from the parliamentary faction. If you want to recommend someone, you should pass the good things of Tong or Shanqi. Na Tong and Qingyuan have a good relationship, and the last one can do it was Prince Su Shanqi. After thinking for a while, he said: "In the past, there was a student. After returning from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, he taught at Guangxi Surveying and Mapping School..."
When Shanqi saw Liang Qichao talking, he even smiled and said, "Is Zhuo Ru talking about Cai E and Cai Songpo?"
"Oh, the prince has heard of this person, it's really..." Liang Qichao also smiled and became polite.
"Everyone has heard of the name of Flying General. Okay, the Army Department is newly established, and it is about to be young and handsome. Tomorrow, I will mention it with the Army Department..." Shanqi said this and said again: "Zhuo Ru, you should mention it to the emperor about Cai Yuanpei. Then the revolutionary Wu Yue said, "With revenge as a reinforcement, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill. If you seek revenge, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill. If you find revenge, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill, the more you kill."
"Prince, I'm not going to kill this, is it going to let it go..." The transaction seemed to be reached, and Liang Qichao began to survey it.
"You can't kill, let alone let go, you can only be locked up. If he can surrender himself, you can still entrust him with important responsibilities. If he is still stubborn, you can only be locked up for his whole life." Shanqi seemed soft and hard. He felt that it was impossible to be completely hard with the revolutionary party. Only by resolving the hatred between them was the right way. This was actually his original intention to pardon Cai Yuanpei for his death. He thought that this would still be able to eliminate some hatred. Especially those bannermen in Hangzhou, who were imprisoned for revenge for the pain of imprisonment in prison, killed many Han people in private. It is said that they killed too many people, and the waters of the West Lake were dyed red. It was really a group of people who could not succeed.
It turned out that it was just imprisonment. Liang Qichao thought about where to say this matter. He didn't expect it for a while and was not in a hurry. He always had a chance. He said immediately: "Then Qichao will do his best. It's just to protect Cai Yuanpei from dying."
Seeing that he agreed, Shanqi smiled and served tea to see him off.
After Liang Qichao withdrew from the Prince's Mansion, he sent a telegram to Cai E who was in Guilin. However, Cai E who received the telegram was in a dilemma. After the failure of the Chaozhou Uprising, Huang Xing, who had been here last year, came to Guilin again. His meaning was very clear, that was to let Cai E and Guo Renzhang launch the Guilin Uprising, occupy the entire Guangxi, and thus establish the country independently. What Huang Xing thought was actually very unrealistic, especially since the Hangzhou Uprising was condemned by gentry across the country before, and the newspapers believed that it was a chaotic act. Now that the parliament was about to be opened, the Manchus had begun to hand over power, and it was inappropriate to carry out another revolution. Besides, just relying on the students in the surveying and mapping school and the soldiers of Guo Renzhang, Guangxi and Guilin could not be occupied.
Cai E was thinking, and the orderly soldier outside shouted: "Report to Mr. Zhang Shouzheng outside, saying yes..."
Zhang Shouzheng is Huang Xing's pseudonym. Cai E didn't hesitate when he heard this and said, "Please come in."
Huang Xing was still full of dust and the smoke of gunpowder was not over. The Chaozhou incident made him realize that if he wanted to succeed in the revolution, he still had to have a regular army like the Revival Society. This was actually the reason why he finally returned to Guilin.
"Songpo." Huang Xing looked lonely and shouted in his hometown accent.
"Brother Keqiang!" Cai E could roughly guess at Huang Xing's expression and was not happy about his conversation with Guo Renzhang. He immediately said in harmony: "Brother Keqiang, please sit down."
Huang Xing was not polite, and after sitting on the chair, he started to drink tea. He felt that the previous plan of the new army seemed to have failed completely. At first, he hoped that these like-minded fellow villagers could move the new army after graduation. But the actual result was that these people were not keen on the revolution after becoming officials. Guo Renzhang had always been in good terms. When he was caught in the police station, he was completely dependent on Guo Renzhang to be released from prison early and was not arrested by the Qing court. But now, Guo Renzhang became an official, but he changed his appearance; Cai E was the same. The Tongmenghui did not join. In the end, he only joined the Xinghanhui.
While Huang Xing was criticizing him, Cai E asked, "Brother Keqiang, how is this business?" Huang Xing's pseudonym was Zhang Shouzheng, and his identity was a Hunan businessman, so Cai E asked this question.
"I have lost half of it, so I don't know if my partner is making a profit." Huang Xing sighed and stared at Cai E.
"I think it's not much money even if you make all the money." Cai E shook his head and said frankly: "Keqiang. Now the Congress is about to begin. Is this revolution really going to continue? Revolution is reform. The founding of a Congress is also reform. The most important thing is to be martial, patriotism, and educate the people with military and national ideas to save the country from water and fire."
Cai E's words were known to Huang Xing, and he agreed with this, but the two had different insights. "Songpo, either the Qing Dynasty held a parliament or handed over power, nor did it mean that the people could teach Yu Shangwu and patriotism after the parliament was opened. According to Mr. Jingcheng, this Manchu court was a rotten wooden boat, and it could not be changed into a big iron boat. If you insist on changing it, then the rotten wooden boat will definitely fall apart. What we have to do is to smash the rotten wooden boat as soon as possible and rebuild a big iron boat."
In today's form, the revolution is declining, and it is impossible to say that the Qing Dynasty is a fake constitution. Only Yang Rui used to use rotten wooden ships to penetrate into the hearts of the revolutionary party. The form does not matter. The essence is the basis for determining the heaviest form of material. However, Cai E did not agree with this, "But now the founding of the Congress is to rebuild a large iron ship. Only constitutionalism can make China prosperous and strong. Rescuing China is not a person or an organization, what is needed for saving China is a set of rules. This set of rules is constitutionalism, strengthening strength, and reviving.
I have always admired Mr. Jingcheng. By reading his article, you can tell that he is a patriotic person, and he is definitely not a person who chaotic country. If he had not been injured and disappeared in Hangzhou, he would not have launched a campaign. Now Yang and Cai and the leaders of the Revival Association of the Two Sessions are not here. You must not be blindly impulsive and chaotic country." With the rebellion of the Hangzhou Military Government Minister Cai Guoqing and others, the revolutionary party hiding everywhere has been arrested. At the same time, the whole story of the Hangzhou uprising was also learned by the Qing court, and then he publicized the desire to chaotic the revolutionary party.
"What the villain said is credible? If Mr. Jingcheng doesn't do anything, he will not train troops in various parts of Zhejiang. Mr. Jingcheng still wants to use the local autonomy of the Qing Dynasty to train troops everywhere..." Huang Xing immediately refuted this. In his opinion, the revolutionary party is one, there are no fake revolutions, and there can be no fake revolutions.
"So what the result?" Cai E only felt that this fellow villager had been immersed in the revolution of the Qing Dynasty and could not extricate himself. He strongly hoped that he could 'awaken'. "95% of the members of the Revival Society had rebelled, which shows that this set of revolutions was not feasible. Maybe the scholars and the people were disunited before, but now the scholars and the people were reunited. Keqiang, don't be obsessed. When we can hold the table, we will take it from the table. There is no need to overturn the table. Then he said that you plan to make Guangxi independence this time, and you really want to occupy Guilin and Nanning. Will this revolution be successful? Didn't the Revival Society occupy Hangzhou at the beginning? Their army is also very capable, but this was ultimately failed. Zhong Mei's hundreds of war officers who fought from the Russian-Japanese war were sacrificed in vain... This..."
Cai E could no longer say anything at this point. In his opinion, it was unfortunate that a soldier died in a civil war, especially when the side he stood against constitutionalism, it was even more unfortunate.
Huang Xing was also saddened by Zhong Mei and others to go to the crisis. He said: "In the defeat in Hangzhou, one is that he believes too much that the traitor Xu Shaozhen is just saying anything, the second is that the revolutionary army has not been trained, and he fought hard in the tenth town the day before, and the third is that the foreigners do not support the revolutionary party, causing several ships of arms to be confiscated by foreign warships. If Guilin takes it, we will immediately attack Nanning south... Mr. Zhongshan said that unlike other countries, the French have always supported the revolution. After Nanning occupation, France will immediately recognize us and will..."
When Huang Xing said that France would support Vietnam's independence, Cai E stopped him. If this were the case, he would not have revolted rashly. "Hey... Brother Keqiang..." He was speechless.
Everyone had a bad idea, so Huang Xing quickly withdrew. After returning to the inn, Hu Yisheng, who had just come from Zhejiang, hurriedly asked, "How is the conversation?"
Chapter completed!
