1855 United States Tycoon

"Now, it is estimated that Man Qing must have noticed your arms purchase. I don't believe that your almost public behavior of buying weapons can go unnoticed. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to pay attention to this kind of behavior before. Find a reason that has nothing to do with rebellion and can make Man Qing relax his vigilance." Chen Guang said.

"What do you mean is that we have to find a way to make Man Qing think that our purchase of weapons has nothing to do with the rebellion?" Mr. Yang Quyun somewhat understood what Chen Guang meant.

"Buying weapons is always related to violence and conflict. We have to convince Man Qing that our act of buying guns is not to deal with him. We need to find another object of conflict. And create some Conflicts come out." Chen Guang said, "For example, I know that some gangs in United States often have some conflicts. Such things will happen for the site, for the benefit, and sometimes even for the Face. I know this. The same thing should exist in the Chinese gangs. Of course, most of the time, we resolve our differences through negotiations, but it is not uncommon when we start fighting. Do we have other gangs similar to those that need to be dealt with?"

“There are gangs that contradict us, but there seems to be no one who is so nervous that they have to do it. If one is created abruptly, I am afraid that the Manchus may not believe it.” Mr. Yang Quyun said.

"Believe it or not depends on the level of acting." Chen Guang said.

"I'm afraid this won't work either." Mr. Yang Quyun expressed his opposition again.

"Chen senior, do you think, if we are acting, do we tell the people below that this is acting? If we tell it, it will definitely not be the same. If we don't tell, it will really lead to a lot of deaths and injuries. Let's talk about it. If we perform such a martial arts tour in Hong Kong, it will also be very disgusting to the British, and our activities in Hong Kong will be very difficult in the future. It will also affect the attitude of the British towards us in the future."

The latter reason has been supported by more people. Because according to their ideas, after taking Guangzhou, the most important thing is to gain international recognition, and at least let the great powers hold a neutral position. Then any approach that might lead to hostility towards them by the powers needs to be considered.

"Yes, Chen senior, if we fight in Hong Kong, the British will be very angry. It is not a good idea to offend Britain now."

Since so many people opposed it, of course Chen Guang's acting plan would not work.

"If this is the case, then let's come up with a way to repair the plank road and darken the warehouse." Chen Guang came up with another idea. "We still focus on a bunch of people and use them to attract Man Qing's attention. My people can Send the weapons to a warehouse in Guangzhou in advance. These weapons will be wrapped in oil paper and placed in cement buckets. Those who actually do it will first enter other cities in batches for reasons such as trading, and then divide them into teams to arrive one after another. Guangzhou. After the people arrive, we will send people to bring them over, go to the warehouse to take out weapons, and then launch an uprising. In this way, our people are scattered, even if Man Qing is aware of it, it will be very It’s difficult to catch them all in one go. Moreover, everyone in each team doesn’t know where the warehouse is, who is involved, when to contact with whom. Even if someone leaks the secret, or even gets into the Manchu spy, we won’t have it. Too much loss."

This proposal was approved by everyone, so we discussed together for a long time, and the relevant details of this plan gradually became clear.

"Okay, don't discuss more details here." Chen Guang finally said, "These details will be discussed in the specific implementation group, and each group should not ask each other about the content..."

...

In addition to the uprising itself, propaganda work is also highly regarded. Therefore, the propaganda documents after the uprising must of course be prepared well. There are two copies of this publicity draft in Chinese and English. The English version was drafted by Dr. He Qi, the teacher of Sun Zhongshan, and Li De, the chief writer of the Hong Kong "Dechen Western News". The content generally requires Western countries to recognize the rebels as a warring group and enjoy all the neutrality of each country. right. As for the internal propaganda manuscript, Mr. Zhu Qi will complete it.

Mr. Zhu Qi is the nephew of Mr. Zhu Ciqi, and Mr. Zhu Ciqi is the teacher of Kang Youwei, a historical celebrity who made a story about a book on the bus just a few months ago. This Mr. Zhu Ciqi's fame is no more than a person, and the most official is not a county magistrate, but the level of teaching students is absolutely top-notch. Not only did he teach Kang Youwei, he also taught Liang Yaoshu, the last champion in Guangdong. The writing style of his nephew Mr. Zhu Qi is naturally not a problem. Therefore, Mr. Sun assigned this task to Mr. Zhu Qi.

As a literati, Zhu Qi's level is quite good. But he has not received training in secrecy. He actually drafted such an important manuscript at home...

...

Around the Double Ninth Festival in 1895, various action teams began to enter Guangzhou. Before that, Mr. Sun and others had already entered Guangzhou City in the name of practicing medicine. However, Chen Guang rented a warehouse in Chengnan earlier and transported a lot of goods to it.

The first time a large-scale uprising was organized, the Xingzhong Society’s lack of experience became quite serious. First of all, there was a big problem with the arrival time of each group, and I don't know what happened. Many groups failed to arrive on time.

According to the plan, each group has its own goal, either attacking the governor’s office, or attacking the governor’s office, or attacking the navy admiral’s office. Someone also needs to intercept the green camp in the city, and send people to attack the flag boundary (the Eight Banner Soldiers' station). Now that the manpower is not ready, the whole plan has a loophole immediately.

And in order to be unobtrusive, after each team arrived, they first found a place to live, and then there were special personnel to quietly hand over the weapons to them. According to the original plan, the personnel would arrive in a little more than two days and get their weapons, but it was only half a day before the scheduled uprising. The team responsible for attacking the most important target-the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi had not been there yet. arrive.

"What's going on? Did you understand?" Mr. Sun asked Lu Haodong who was in charge of the contact.

"Sir, I understand. The boat they were on board in Qingyuan should have arrived yesterday. The boat on the way broke down, and the big boat was not found for a while, so I had to come on foot. Li Chongguang was in that team, and he had I took a boat and rushed over and said, I guess they won't be there until tomorrow. Sir, it seems that the time of the uprising will be delayed a bit later."

Mr. Sun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Haodong, Shaobai, you bother to inform the team that you have arrived. The plan is to postpone it until tomorrow. No, they will come on foot. There must be a physical problem. I am afraid that it will be delayed for another day. You go and tell the other team, Houtian, that you still got up after hearing the gunshots from the Governor's Mansion. In addition, the weapons have been sent down, so they should take good care of them and don't be discovered by others."

"Okay, sir. I'll go there first."

...

Mr. Sun is very uneasy about whether those who know the party will make any trouble after they get the weapon. Facts have proved that his uneasiness is really justified. The ancients said that with one burst of anger, it would decline again, and then exhausted. After hearing that the action was postponed for two days, these party heroes immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then the problem came.

"Old Qi, go out to Lele together tonight?" a member of the party yelled.

"Okay, Brother Fifth, let's call a few brothers together. It's time to be happy when you enter the provincial capital." Another member of the party replied.

"Mr. Sun explained not to go out at will." Another said.

"Mr. Sun is too careful. In fact, if you want me to say that we people stay in the house and don't go out, it is more likely to cause suspicion. Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we are just going out for a stroll, not making trouble. Brothers always stay like this Inside the room, it's boring and suffocated." The old Qi replied disapprovingly.

That Mr. Liu thought for a while, and felt that what Old Qi said seemed to be somewhat reasonable. In addition, other people also came to help. So this Mr. Liu had no idea for a while, and finally he agreed, only to say: "Come back early and don't make trouble outside."

...

"My lord Governor, I got this secret report for my humble position. It's a matter of great importance, so I didn't dare to hide it, so I specifically came to report it to my lord." All of them reported to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Tan Zhonglin.

"Li Dutong, what's the matter?" Although Li Dutong said eagerly, Tan Zhonglin was still calm.

"My lord, some people have turned their heads to the humble position, saying that a group of rebellious parties are preparing to rebel in Guangzhou." Li Dutong replied.

"Oh, what did he say to you and what did he say?"

"My lord, the man who came to the head is called Zhu Xiang. He is the nephew of Mr. Zhu Jiujiang, and he is from Juren. He said that his Little Brother Zhu Qi was confused for a while and was bewitched by the chaotic party and joined the chaotic party. Recently, Those chaotic parties were planning to rebel and asked Little Brother to draw up his essays. His Little Brother had already repented at this time. He knew that he was on the thief ship, but he did not dare to sue officials, so he asked Big Brother to come forward. This is his Big Brother Zhu. The secret report from Xiang..."

Tan Zhonglin took a look at the secret report and sighed and said: "Zhu Jiujiang's academic character is honestly good. It's just that he is too eager to be utilitarian and valuing his talents. After all, he is a little bit too biased and he can't be regarded as the mean. So he taught it. The same is true of the students and children of. You see that Kang Youwei, who has been clamoring for reforms in the capital recently, is also his student. This Zhu Qi, the essay drafted for the chaos party, although not as good as... but the writing is also Not bad, but also a talented person."

Tan Zhonglin originally wanted to say that although the writing style of this essay is not comparable to "Discussing Martial Arts", it has considerable features. But think about it, although Guangxu is nominally pro-government, in fact, it is the Empress Dowager Cixi who is in power. "Discussing Martial Arts" came out and was listened to by someone with a heart, fearing that it would be no big trouble. So I was vague and took it over.

"This Zhu Qi can rush for the chaos, and this essay is still written like this... How can I tell that there is any remorse! I think it is mostly because of the Big Brother who discovered Little Brother's rebellion, so this story came out. Come. But the relatives conceal each other, the Master is the case, and we can't break such a righteous act. It's just that Sun Wen is actually a chaotic party, which is far beyond my expectations. Speaking of which, Sun Wen is a good one. Doctor, his medical skills are quite good. In the past few months, his medical skills have become famous in Guangzhou. I did not expect that such a person is also a chaotic party. Qingben beautiful lady..." Tan Zhonglin shook his head and said, " Since it is a chaotic party member, send someone to arrest it."
