Chapter 304 The Revolutionary Banner

Sun Yat-sen's situation in Shanghai is getting worse and worse. Shanghai is the place where revolutionary support is the first place to be captured.

Although the Beiyang Army in Jiangxi, Hunan and Jiangsu are becoming more and more intense, and the status of *** in Shanghai is becoming more and more shaken. Although the concession police have not yet begun to take action, the Americans from the Public Concession Administration have repeatedly hinted that Sun Yat-sen and others will make plans to leave China as soon as possible.

News of the fall of Nanjing came yesterday. Many people had given up their hopes of fighting against Yuan, and some people started packing their luggage and left Shanghai one after another.

In a French apartment building in Zhabei Public Concession, Jiang Zhiqing took a copy of the Minli Daily to the second floor living room with a copy of the Minli Daily. There was some cigarette smell in the living room, but it was not strong. Chen Qimei, Liao Zhongkai, Hu Hanmin and Sun Yat-sen were listening to radio messages. At this time, the radio station had nothing worth mentioning, and it was boring to talk about it in general.

"Sir, the newspaper was bought, it was the old newspaper from yesterday. Xu Xueer was still opposing us." Jiang Zhiqing walked up and handed the newspaper to Chen Qimei.

Chen Qimei took the newspaper and looked at the front page title, then snorted coldly, and handed the newspaper to Sun Yat-sen directly.

After reading the newspaper, Sun Yat-sen sighed deeply, and his originally melancholy face added a little helplessness.

At this time, Chen Qimei couldn't help complaining: "We had funded a lot of funds from the Minli Daily earlier. In the past, Xu was also actively reporting on our revolutionary cause. At the beginning of the year, the fisherman brother was assassinated, and he reported Yuan Shikai's conspiracy without fear of obstacles. Now, in a blink of an eye, when we were in the most difficult and needed support, he jumped out and sang the opposite tune. This is not once or twice."

Liao Zhongkai and Hu Hanmin remained silent, but just glanced at Chen Qimei without expressing any opinions.

Sun Yat-sen said seriously: "Yingshi, I don't want to hear you again. Mr. Xu is an upright journalist. He has his own opinions. If you have to force others' thoughts to be consistent with us, what is the difference between this and the ***er? If Mr. Xu continues to report on it, different opinions are also a reflection for us."

Chen Qimei's face was teasing. He rarely refuted Sun Yat-sen's words, so he simply stopped talking about this topic. He stood up and said melancholy: "I'll go out to smoke a cigarette first." Then, he walked out of the living room with heavy steps.

As soon as Chen Qimei went out, footsteps came from the stairs again, and Hu Yisheng appeared outside the door with a tired look.

"Have Mr. Zhijun sent onto the boat?" Hu Hanmin stood up and asked first.

In the afternoon, Hu Yisheng was sent by Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin to see Juzheng off. The situation in Shanghai was getting worse and worse, and it was reasonable for many people to choose to leave. What's more, the Shanghai *** Party Committee does not have much funding at present, and the basic living standards of many foreign party members cannot be maintained.

Hu Yi said angrily: "Of course I was sent on the boat. But not only Mr. Zhijun, but also Mr. Xingyan, Boxun and Qiushi, also joined Mr. Zhijun."

Hu Hanmin was a little surprised and hurriedly said, "What? Mr. Yu and the others have left?"

Hu Yisheng sneered: "They said yesterday that they would stay for another period of time, but Mr. Zhijun bought a boat ticket for them and got on the boat today."

Hu Hanmin sighed, not knowing what to say.

Liao Zhongkai ignored Hu Yisheng's complaints. He always thought that Hu Yisheng was a young man who did not understand common sense. He immediately turned to look at Sun Yat-sen and said sincerely: "Yixian, as I say, you should leave Shanghai quickly. Mr. Uchida has now arranged a response in the ***. Mr. Inokay recently also inquired about the negotiations between Zheng Rucheng and Yang Shande and the Public Concession Administration. Mr. Inokay said that the British and Americans will compromise soon."

"Zhongkai, Zhantang, you guys will leave tomorrow." Sun Yat-sen suddenly said.

Everyone was surprised after hearing this. Liao Zhongkai asked quickly: "Yixian, you are..."

Hu Hanmin also asked, "Sir, you won't be staying in Shanghai alone!"

Hu Yisheng shouted: "This is not possible. Even if we want to leave, we will go together. It doesn't matter if we fail this time. We will accumulate strength and we will start over sooner or later."

Sun Yat-sen stood up with a very stern expression and said solemnly: "What are you talking nonsense? What is 'It doesn't matter if this failure is'? Guangdong, Sichuan, Guangxi, these three provinces have just announced their response to the Yuan Revolution. Did they have a hasty declaration of failure because of the emergency in Jiangsu and Hunan? This is a very irresponsible attitude, and I will never agree."

Hu Hanmin glared at his clan brother fiercely, and he knew that Hu Yisheng, the ***, would sooner or later annoy Mr. Sun.

Hu Yisheng lowered his head, looked regretful, and kept silent and dared not say another word.

Liao Zhongkai was also a little bit blamed, but he still defended Hu Yisheng: "Yixian, Yisheng doesn't mean that. After all, we are all worried about your safety. Nanjing is in a fall, Brother Keqiang will not be able to protect himself, and the entire East China has no military force to rely on. Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan are still fighting hard, but if Yixian makes mistakes at this time, that is the real situation is over!"

"Zhongkai, you don't understand," Sun Yat-sen shook his head slowly and said in a very solemn tone, "This time the anti-Yuan revolution has reached the most difficult time. Although many people are not optimistic about the prospects of the revolution, since I raised this banner, I must carry it on. For the sake of the justice of Brother Fisherman, for the national economy of the Republic of China, and for the future of the Chinese people, even if I bear the infamy that thousands of people have pointed out, I will persist without hesitation."

"Yixian..."

"Mr. Sun..."

Everyone was so excited when they heard these words. They understood Sun Yat-sen's meaning very well. How many revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their lives in exchange for today's Republic of China. Even if more sacrifices are needed, it should be their turn to stand up!

"As long as this banner has not fallen completely, I will always stand under the banner so that those revolutionary soldiers who insist on the front can see and hear it. This is a kind of support, a kind of attitude of revolutionaries. You can leave, I must stay!" Sun Yat-sen said unshakablely.

"Yixian, let's stay with you." Liao Zhongkai said solemnly.

“So too.”

Sun Yat-sen looked at the comrades standing in front of him with a shining gaze, took a deep breath, and then said very slowly: "Thank you. From tomorrow on, we must actively carry out publicity and raise military funds for Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and Jiangxi. One dollar is also money, and how much can we raise!"

Starting from mid-October, the *** people who had been dormant in Shanghai for a long time took action again. They took great risks to wander around all walks of life in Shanghai. Many party members were arrested by the Shanghai Police and the Beiyang Army when instigating fundraising, but the action was not stopped. Under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, they fought a special battle.

At the end of September, members of Song Jiaoren's sect had already gone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to raise funds, but the funds they raised at the beginning were used to maintain the Shanghai Party Committee and Nanjing. It was not until Sun Yat-sen's action in Shanghai that Song Jiaoren formed a linkage with Shanghai, and all the raised funds were gathered in the public concession and sent to Guangzhou by foreign banks.

After Wu Shaoting heard about this news in Guangzhou, he felt very pleased that the revolutionary party could finally help. Although he had not received any funds until late October, he believed that with the prestige of Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren and the strength of the large capitalists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it would sooner or later achieve results.

At the same time, Li Yutang and Zhang Zhi also actively worked in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and even established contacts in the Nanyang area, and busy selling the second batch of government bonds to the outside world. On October 24, Li Yutang had raised 500,000 yuan in cash, and Zhang Zhi also obtained a sum of money, but the amount was less than half of Li Yutang.
