Volume E Chapter 86 West Wind and Rain

"Okay! As long as you can convince Lord Cheng to agree to the revolution, then brother will never go back on his word." Fang Shengtao was slightly stunned and agreed readily. In fact, someone had already done Cheng Biguang's work, but although they were both from Fujian, he did not dare to make a rash talk. He could only agree first and finally send Du Xigui away.

When Fang Shengtao sent Du Xigui away, Cheng Biguang in Nanjing was meeting an old friend. Several groups of people sent by Sun Wen were sent by him, but he must not stay away from the person who came today. When the personal soldiers reported the name "Yulei", he felt like he was hit by something and staggered out to greet the guests in person.

"Brother Hengqi..." Yu Lie, dressed in a melon-skin hat and sheepskin coat, looked at Cheng Biguang who was a little excited, and spoke first before he could speak. "Haha, I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Hengqi is fine!"

"Ling Ji..." In a trance, Cheng Biguang still called out, then looked at his whole body carefully, and finally said: "It's really you, it's really you! I'm afraid you haven't seen you for 16 years!"

"Yes!" Before Yu Lie came, he knew that Cheng Biguang would talk about the past sixteen years ago. At that time, everyone was still passionate young people, but now they had a lot of white hair on their temples. "It was sixteen years and six months. Think about it, then... Hey, Hengdun, I would be fine if Xianxiang and the others were there..."

When Ure thought of the brothers who had long been gone, he couldn't help but feel sad. In the year of Yiwei (1895), Xingzhonghui was righteous, and his side was not intimate. After the incident was leaked, many comrades were killed. Lu Haodong and Cheng Biguang's brother Cheng Kuiguang were one of them. In addition, Cheng Biguang was familiar with Yang Heling's father-in-law Cheng Yaochen, who were all the backbones of the Sun Xingzhonghui who developed in Kuofengxuan of Guangya Bookstore outside Guangzhou. After the failure of the righteousness, Cheng Yaochen was imprisoned and died of illness. Cheng Kuiguang was fined 600 military sticks in the military camp and was beaten to death. Cheng Biguang escaped from Guangzhou with his help and fled to Nanyang.

Although he was alive, after this, Cheng Biguang no longer wanted to do revolutionary activities. When Li Hongzhang went to Europe to pass through Nanyang the following year, he asked to meet Li Hongzhang as an old man in Beiyang. After informing the whole story, he thought that he was an officer on the Sino-Japanese Warship of 1894-1895, and Li Hongzhang, who had also become a man, guaranteed him. Only then did he help him clear of his identity as a revolutionary party and join the navy again. After more than ten years, he actually reached the position of commander of the cruiser. It was really a fortune.

That is the commander. The man must have soldiers and cannons. This was a great help to the revolution. However, Cheng Biguang thought of Sun Wen, who was in Guangzhou in the past, said that he was sure of all the righteousness. He said that he was full of power. However, after the righteousness was leaked, he fled alone and ignored the rest. He held a lot of hatred in his heart, especially the tragic death of his brother. He was engraved in his heart, so he ignored Sun Wen's beating. Now Yulei did not mention Cheng Kuiguang. When he mentioned his dissatisfaction, he came out again. He said angrily: "Sun Yixian still wants to revolutionize and revolution, and then he died a large group of people, but he was desperate?"

"Hengqi, are you still unable to let go of what happened back then?" Yu Li looked at Cheng Biguang's expression and was very helpless. He thought Cheng Biguang would be polite to him first before getting to the point, but he didn't expect that he had not forgotten his dissatisfaction with Sun Wen for more than ten years.

"I have forgotten what happened before. But there are still people who can't forget me." Cheng Biguang relied on his wrinkled military uniform. He cherished everything now. The opium ghosts and sluts in Fujian were about to be cleaned up. Not only did he not smoke opium, but his knowledge and experience were also first-class. This is a blessing. Others thought that Yang Jingcheng did not attach importance to the navy but only the army, but when he saw the General Staff's efforts to purify the navy, he could fully feel how heavy the man in Beijing looked at the navy.

Yes! From the British Admiral Lang Weili left in anger, to the fact that the navy is now in a mess. If it is not severe and thoroughly rectified, even if it buys a large ship and expands its scale in the future, then how different is it from the Beiyang? Therefore, he is dedicated to cooperating with the American deputy commander. He believes that among this squad, he will eventually be able to stand out. But he never expected that the events of the Xingzhonghui in his early years were deliberately promoted, and it was promoted by the Fujian people. How could Du Xigui know about this? He used his toes to know who did it.

Cheng Biguang thought about Sun Wen's various things, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, but after all, he was a man in his fifties, so he still suppressed his anger. He saw this clearly, and said, "Heng Qi, Yixian has no choice but to do many things! For the sake of the revolution..."

"Hey! Ling Ji, it seems that no matter what he did wrong, he can be irresponsible as long as he says it is for the revolution." Yulei was interrupted by Cheng Biguang before he finished speaking. "How can Sun Wen not revolution?"

"Hengqi, you don't know about Yixian's temper. As long as China has not achieved republic, he will not stop for a day. As long as China has an emperor, he will always want to revolution." Yulei shook his head and said, even if Sun Wen is so dedicated to revolution, he admires him even if he is helpless.

"This is just his own delusion." Cheng Biguang was not moved by Sun Wen's revolution, but was very disdainful. "After all, he wanted him to unify China, and he wanted him to be the president of the republic. Ling Ji, you are not a person who is unreasonable, why do you still believe in his style? That emperor is just a symbol, just keeping it in the Forbidden City as a decoration to scare the people. Europe, America and Japan all believe that China does not have the foundation of republic. Only now the constitutional monarchy is the most suitable for China. The same is true for domestic public opinion. Some people still think that Yang Jingcheng has lost all the rights of the emperor..."

Cheng Biguang's statement completely disappointed Yulei. He said, "Of course Yang Jingcheng would lose all the emperor's rights. How could he become a new emperor if he didn't do this? Brother Hengqi, don't think that it is necessary to have the title of emperor and call him Long Live. Eighty-most of the Congress are from the Revival Society. Yang Jingcheng is now the emperor of China. Not only does he want to be the emperor, he also pulled out the Ming royal family who had died hundreds of years ago. This is a historical regression. Not only did he retreat, but he also wanted to sell the country than the Manchus. Some time ago, the leak of the Mining Department was a leak. It was just that he betrayed the mining rights and pleased Britain and the United States."

"The continuous revolution is the progress of history, or is Sun Wen the president the progress of history?" Yu Lie is a newspaper operator, and Cheng Biguang can't tell him the verbal conversation. What he can rely on is these more than ten years of experience.

"Brother Hengqi, you misunderstood Yixian so much, aren't you greedy for this official position?" Yu Lie became more and more excited when Cheng Biguang said it, and couldn't help but ask in detail. "Yang Jingcheng has now sold the navy to the United States, Chinese fleets, and foreign commanders. It's such a big joke."

"Are the chief of staff of the General Staff still German?" Cheng Biguang asked back: "Without him, we can stop the Japanese in the Northeast? Even if we can stop it, we will have to spend a lot of extra cost. Inviting foreigners to China is to sell the country, and moving foreigners to China is not selling the country? How can there be such a reason? Ling Ji. If you come to persuade me to oppose Yang Jingcheng, then please come back. Cheng Biguang is just greedy for power and nostalgia for official positions. I will never go to Sun Wen's revolution."

After Cheng Biguang was so ruthless, Yu Lie dared not say anything. The rest of the time was to reminisce about the past ten years and talk about the circumstances and changes between the two sides. After some politeness, he left the next day. After the news that could not convince Cheng Biguang was spread, somewhere on the Haiqi ship...

"Comrades. Cheng Biguang has been bribed by Yang Jingcheng's stolen government!" said the young intern Li Jing. "He ignored Mr. Zhongshan's repeated persuasion and was determined to be an enemy of the revolution. This is something we will never agree to! Comrades, the Chinese Revolutionary Party represents the development requirements of advanced productive forces! It represents the direction of advancement of advanced culture!! It represents the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people!!! The Revival Society also said before that it would devote itself to the interests of the people, but now they have become lackeys of foreigners and feudal representatives. If you want to save China, you must overthrow this government that worships foreign countries and fascinates foreign countries and completely realize Mr. Zhongshan's ideal of establishing a republic and equal land rights. In this way, our country and this nation can stand tall among the nations of the world..."

Li Jing said a lot, only making the other interns feel excited. When the Navy boycotted the Americans some time ago, although he was pulled out by Cheng Biguang, because he was young and a fellow villager, Cheng Biguang just advised him with kind words, and then did not punish him. Cheng Biguang thought of his past, so he opened his mouth to him, but Li Jing did not reflect on him at all, but instead stepped up time to develop the organization on the ship. With his efforts, the interns on the ship have already tended to revolution. Some of these people really think that revolution is beneficial to the country, but more people understand that revolution is to take over. Don’t those captains become captains because of their support for revolution? If they really have to earnestly experience, they really don’t know what year it will take to become a captain.

After Li Jing's agitation, He Hanlan asked, "Ajing, tell me, what should we do to support the revolution?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Hongyi and Wu Zili asked, "Yes, has the party told us what to do? Should we make a big move, overthrow Yang Jingcheng and defeat the dog emperor?"

"Comrades! Don't worry." Li Jing said happily when he saw that everyone was motivated: "Mr. Zhongshan wants us to be patient and wait for the party's orders. At this time, everyone must pay attention to confidentiality, but don't forget that Yang Jingcheng has two factories in the world and the world. These annoying lackeys are everywhere. If we are not careful, we will fall into their trap. Comrades, keep it confidential! When the party needs us, we will notify us. What we need to do is to be prepared at all times!"

The Security Bureau is responsible for the domestic and the Intelligence Bureau is responsible for foreign countries. Although this kind of thing is not published in newspapers, people who know a little bit of politics know about the division of labor. It is also because of this, with the history of the Ming Dynasty itself, some people nicknamed the Security Bureau responsible for the domestic and the Intelligence Bureau responsible for the foreign countries nicknamed the Western Factory. As for the investigators who investigate corrupt officials in the Inspection Office, they nicknamed the Jinyiwei. These are jokes that the Security Bureau and the Censorate must act in accordance with domestic laws, while the Intelligence Bureau is responsible for foreign countries. It is not China, so it doesn’t matter whether the law or not.

Even so, those who are interested still borrow this joke, saying that Revival will engage in spy politics. This statement is extremely popular among the opposition, that is, gentry. As long as the Tongmenghui says that Revival will be bad, no matter who said it, it will be used anyway. It is a common word in their mouths, such as the East and West Factory.

While Li Jing was talking about being careful of the lackeys of the East and West factories, Liu Boyuan, the admiral of the East Factory, was reporting the changes in the Nanjing Navy to Yang Rui. "Sir, the people of the Tongmenghui have already moved in the navy. They are carrying a large amount of cash checks and are bribing the captains. According to our investigation, the purpose of their bribery was to persuade those captains to promote their righteousness, but the time for the righteousness was not decided. Should we take action in advance to save time and passive?"

"I finally couldn't help it." Yang Rui sighed, "Have you found out the specific plan for action?"

"No." Liu Boyuan shook his head and said, "We only know that Fang Shengtao, the contact person of Tongmenghui, asked those captains for news, but I don't know when there will be news."

"Then keep a close eye on it." Yang Rui ordered. "And now all the members of Congress have arrived in Beijing. I will sacrifice to the sky tomorrow. Don't make any mistakes in the capital!"

"I understand. All arrangements have been made. Those who should be watched will be kept in sight, and there will be no trouble!" Liu Boyuan nodded heavily. He fully knew the importance of these days. After more than half a year of preparation, the Congress will finally hold a meeting. What is the founding of the country? This is the founding of the country! According to the ritual that had been discussed before, members of Congress and civil and military officials will follow Zhu Kuan to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, worship ghosts, and then do some other rituals to announce the establishment of the country and the Congress is held. This is a strange thing that Zhang Taiyan, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites, but although it is strange, it is recognized by everyone.

"Sir, it's... we found out that Fang Junying from Tongmenghui came to the capital yesterday." After saying the previous things, Liu Boyuan hurriedly informed the matter again.

"Oh..." Yang Rui was a little surprised. Fang Junying used to be a partner with Cheng Xu. After Cheng Xu left the Tongmenghui meeting, she became a lone hero. With her semi-self-taught sniper rifle technique, she also threatened the overseas Chinese who had personally protected the royalist party in Nanyang. He frowned and asked, "What are she here to do? Have you ever seen it..."

"She didn't see her wife." Liu Boyuan said. "They came very mysterious, and they were just in the public envoy area. We suspect that she was sent by Sun Wen to carry out the assassination mission. As for... as for the target of the assassination, we infer that if it was not a gentleman, it would be Zhu Kuan-chul."

"Yeah!" After Liu Boyuan said that, Yang Rui was not surprised at all. He could guess what those people from Tongmenghui could do and what they could do. "Is there any problem with Song Jiaoren?"

"Song Jiaoren?" Liu Boyuan said strangely. He didn't understand why Yang Rui was always concerned about Song Jiaoren's safety. "Sir, his safety is tight. Our people are all taking care of him, and there is no problem at all. He is also an old man from the Tongmenghui, and Huang Xing has a good relationship with him. Although he has disagreement with Sun Wen's political views, they will not kill their own people, right?"

"It's hard to say!" Yang Rui said, "Kill Song Jiaoren, then turn the tables, saying that we killed them. Isn't this just killing two birds with one stone? It not only eliminates the opposition forces in the association, but also brings us to the eighteen levels of hell. Once he dies in the capital, who can we explain it clearly? Song Jiaoren still has to be careful. Even if something happens, it's better to capture the murderer alive, so as not to be framed."

"I understand, sir." Although Liu Boyuan was puzzled by Yang Rui's care, Song Jiaoren still accepted the order. Then he asked, "Sir, how should Fang Junying deal with it?"

"What to do?" Yang Rui's voice was unkind, "If she dared to shoot a gun in the capital, she would kill her!"

After Yang Rui ordered Fang Junying to kill him. When he returned to his residence in the backyard of the palace, Fang Junying was chatting with Cheng Hu at his house. Looking at Yang Rui who was a little puzzled, Fang Junying stood up generously and smiled, "Does the Prime Minister not know Junying?"

She said this, Yang Rui was not good at keeping people from thousands of miles away, and he went back to the house alone after being polite. Since Fang Junying came to her own house, she would say that she was not an assassin of the Tongmenghui. After all, the assassin would not be so arrogant, but she was not her. Who would Chen Qimei arrange? How did he arrange it? Is assassination of himself, assassination of Zhu Kuan-chung, and assassination of Song Jiaoren? Which of these are to be played?

Yang Rui couldn't understand the arrangements of the people of the Tongmenghui, but no matter how hard he could, the sacrifice to heaven on the second day would start as usual. According to the past, the new dynasty had to be the emperor ascended the throne first, and to be the emperor ascended the throne, he had to persuade him to advance first. This persuasion was not once or twice, but three times. The emperor retreated three times, and then he was hesitant to ascend the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang of the former Ming Dynasty only advised him once, and he agreed, and it was not as troublesome as three times. Now Zhu Kuan-chul was persuaded seven or eight times because of Yang Rui's previous advice, but it was not possible. In the end, it was impossible. The Ministry of Rites only reduced the regulations and opened the country first. Anyway, he was not worried about what kind of empire or kingdom. Anyway, there was no such thing on the country name.

"Did you see Yang Jingcheng?" Fang Junying bid farewell to Cheng Xu and returned to the inn in the ministerial area. As soon as he entered the door, Cheng's family came out. His sudden voice only scared Fang Junying. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"See you." Fang Junying said, "Why, be careful that Cheng Xu and I have an old age, and we can't do it tomorrow?"

"Where is it?" Cheng Jiaxia said, "How could I not trust you after Runru's life and death for the sake of the revolution!"

"It's good to know!" Fang Junying raised her eyebrows, "Have the gun been sent?"

"Oh, gun?" Cheng Jiaxia hurriedly said, "It's been ready for a long time. I just delivered it." He turned around and picked up a wooden box and handed it to Fang Junying. Unlike ordinary rifles, the gun was made very exquisitely. The butt stock behind the bolt was foldable, and the barrel used was the barrel of a carbine. The length of the entire rifle was less than two feet.

The folded butt stock was designed by Fang Junying herself, but it was very similar to the gun used by the Revival Society. However, the Revival Society sniper used the Swedish Mauser 96 rifle, which is an all-steel rifle, which is very accurate. The gun was obviously a Japanese gold hook rifle. She only put it down after fiddling for a while and said, "It's also a good gun! Has the gun school passed?"

"The school has passed! Takeda... They said that the gun has passed. The bullets are also specially made and absolutely accurate." When Fang Junying was shooting, Cheng Jiaxia felt another strong murderous aura. When she suddenly asked her, she couldn't help but say what she shouldn't have said.

"It's good to go through the school!" Fang Junying said calmly, "But with this kind of golden hook rifle, the Japanese are not worried that if the assassination fails, they will be involved?"

After hearing Fang Junying say that the Japanese would be involved, Cheng Jiaxiao looked stunned, and then laughed dryly: "There are so many golden hook rifles in the world, so it can't be said that because they are Japanese guns, this matter was planned by Japan."

Things seemed to be getting more and more chaotic. When Cheng Jiaxiao cursed himself inwardly, Fang Junying suddenly laughed and said, "I just asked, I have no other intentions. I just hope that those of us who died for the revolution will remember us."

Is the gun a Japanese gun or a sent by the Japanese? Even if Fang Junying is stupid, she understands that this matter has something to do with the Japanese. Although she does not agree with this, the fission of the Tongmenghui after the revolution, the suppression of the Revival Society, and the obviously framed Hangzhou case only made her very confused. She really doesn't understand why both revolutionaries are all for the sake of this country and nation. Why can't the two organizations have brotherly friendship and build this country together?

In this regard, Mr. Zhongshan's statement was because Yang Jingcheng wanted to be dictatorial for a while. The revival would win the election, and the establishment of the emperor was proof. The trial of Wu Yangzeng by leaking the secret case was proof. Fang Junying was half-believing and half-doubted, but when he saw Cheng Xu today, he suddenly felt that this was true. Yang Jingcheng is no longer the Yang Jingcheng of the past. Although Cheng Xu is now dressed brightly and smiled like a flower, she could tell the sorrow between her eyebrows at a glance, and she didn't know why there was a second wife at home. Maybe a man would become bad if he had the right.

"That's of course! That's of course!" Cheng Jiaxia nodded. When he was about to say a few more words of comfort, Fang Junying went out with the box. Just when the door was closed with a bang, he let out a sigh of relief while sweating, and finally sent the female plague god away.
